I've started adding a 3D-ish engine and fixed a few bits like making the brake discs a bit more round and having an actual texture on the inside of the rims. I'm getting there slowly with the seating position but now that I'm using a different layout I have to resize and re-angle the steering wheel so the driver's hands stay on it properly. I'm still having an issue with damage not showing on the main body, only on the doors, bonnet and boot. I might try separating the chassis into chassis and bodyframe to see if giving the body the proper name fixes it unless anyone has a better suggestion? Also for some reason the reflections in the wing mirrors are upside down and while it is only a minor detail really and I hardly ever drive from interior view, it'll just make it a bit more of a complete mod.

@HRH Thanks but I realised after looking at some pictures that the things at the bottom aren't lights anyway, they're intakes so I don't need that for this. I'll probably do something with multiple extra lights at some point so thanks for the info anyway.

@krissboo Yeah I'm surprised no one's done it before. Unfortunately I doubt it'll be the most refined model by the time I release it but hopefully I'll be able to improve it over time as I get better at modelling.

I've finally managed to get the paint to work so now I'm going to try to work on the driving position and a few other details.

Ayy that's got it working thanks.

I've fixed the light tinting issue and have the handling half way done, working on the driver height and cleaning up parts of the model as I go along. Still struggling with getting the paint to work though and have abandoned the idea of having the lower front lights on full beam for now but I might come back to it once I've sorted some of the other stuff out.

Hi guys.

I'm converting a TVR Cerbera Speed 12 from Forza 4 and I have it all working pretty well in game and most of the issues I should be able to fix with relative ease but the main problem I have is for some reason I can't paint the car in game, it's just fixed to white. I have the main body as the primary colour and the extras (wing, splitter and diffuser) as the secondary colour and as far, as I can tell, all the materials are set up right in zmodeler. Primary is vehicle_paint_1 with vehicle_generic_smallspecmap.dds as both detail and specmap, blank_normal.dds as the bumpmap and env.dds as the envmap. Secondary is vehicle_paint_2 with the same settings which according to the tutorial I was going off is right but when I change the colour in game it just stays white although pearlescent sort of shows through. I have tried many things to fix it and can't think of anything else so any suggestions welcome.

Hey guys.
This is my first vehicle mod so I have basically no idea what I'm doing. I've managed to muddle my way through so far and I've kind of got it working in game as a replacement for the Verlierer although I can't get the dash to work or the handling to change but I think it must be because the Verlierer doesn't take it's vehicles and handling metas from the mpapartments folder, presumably it's been updated at some point. I have it working mostly as it should as an addon though there are still some issues.

The Bad Points:

• for some reason I can't paint either the primary or secondary colours of the car, they're just white. I've got the right material types and textures according to the tutorial I was going off but I can't work out why it's not working.
• the driver's head goes through the roof which shouldn't be too hard of a fix, just got to find the right layout or move the seat position in the model.
• bullet holes only show on the doors, boot and bonnet but not on the chassis which I don't know how to fix.
• the headlights tint when you tint the windows but I'll be able to fix that easy enough as I've already done it for the windscreen and rear light cover glass, I just forgot the headlights.
• the lower front lights don't light up on full beam which I think I should be able to fix.

The good points so far:

• model spawns in and drives without crashing the game
• working digital dash
• functioning lights, doors and window tinting (mostly)
• breakable glass
• extras (wing, splitter and diffuser)
• hands on steering wheel perfectly as I resized and reangled it to match the Verlierer's

To do list:

• fix bugs/issues
• proper handling file
• overall quality of the model, especially the interior, is not great so that'll be hopefully improved once I get all the important bugs sorted.
• maybe livery support

Turns out I was just being a thicko and needed to drag down to unhide the button. God damn it.
