nfs4->HP2 converting.
Well, I did what you said and the windows are still a solid black. I dont know what i'm doing wrong. Anyway, here are some pictures of my current conversions (Note that I will NOT be releasing them to nfs websites)viper_gts wrote:to make the windows transparent.......make sure the parts name has [t] after it and also select all the verticals of the windows in zmodeler then goto the top bar and select Plugins-OIF Custom settings, then in the vertex color box put the value 7F000000 and click apply.

there awesome jay (it's a real pity you won't be releasing them).
when you convert the oif back to O with the OIF tool, do you go down the parts list and make sure everything is being replaced with what it should be. if you can't get it figured out, send me one of the files if you want and i will hopefully be able to pinpoint the problem straight away
this is the problem i'm currently stuck with, notice the grey dots on the paint work........they flicker about ingame (it only happens with some cars i try to convert)........as soon as i figure this out, i can finish off the tutorial.

Viper, just look at this, man, that's the only reason why I still haven't made anything for NFS HP2. WTF is that?!

the glittery part you pointed out is caused by polies on the other side for the interior being to close to the outer row of polies............you will have to carefully select the inner row and scale them in abit.
as for different colors.........is the car folder you will have the skin.VIV, packed inside is all the skin.fsh files............skin00, skin01, skin02 and so on..........each one is for a different color.
hope this helps.

Question on a few of your tutorial instructions...
I have a some questions regarding your instructions given in your tutorial for NFS4>NFS6 conversions.
I followed your tutorial instructions but I have come accross a few problems. When I edited the textures for the Skin.viv, it made me put them in 256x256 pixels in order to repack into the index file instead of 512x512 that you instructed.
Also, I have gotten the car I am editing to work on NFS6. However, when it is on the track it shows up backwards and when you go to drive it, the wheels rotate over and under the car in a huge circle (they don't stay and rotate under the car where they are supposed to). Do you know what I did wrong? I thought maybe the wheel problem was because I have not edited the skeleton.O file yet. However, when I attempt that in Oedit, it says "File may be corrupt or does not conatin valid mesh data".
Lastly, when you mirror the car in Zmodeler, you mirror the whole car, correct?? And you mirror the top and side views?
Thank you very much for your time as I am clueless on some of this,

open up the index file for the skin in question in wordpad and where ever it says 256, change it too 512 and also double the value of the "BUFSZ" number.When I edited the textures for the Skin.viv, it made me put them in 256x256 pixels in order to repack into the index file instead of 512x512 that you instructed.
if you had followed the tutorial, then you shouldn't have these problems.........look over it again.Also, I have gotten the car I am editing to work on NFS6. However, when it is on the track it shows up backwards and when you go to drive it, the wheels rotate over and under the car in a huge circle (they don't stay and rotate under the car where they are supposed to).

However, when I attempt that in Oedit, it says "File may be corrupt or does not conatin valid mesh data
if the car is facing the wrong way in game then mirror it in zmodeler.
as for the wheels.......go back to the tutorial and do exactly as the "The Skeleton.O file" paragraph says.
re:
I was able to open and edit the Skeleton.O file when I looked at the instructions again. In Oedit, I selected all four wheels and 4 wheel bones, and the 4 wheel bones showed up but only the front Left actual wheel showed up. It actually looked like the front left brake when in Oedit.
I have attached some pictures of this situation. Note: I intend on using this car for my personal use only, am not going to upload it at all. Also, I noticed afterwards that the player was in the wrong location in the car, but I have just changed that, so it has been fixed.
