Looks a very nice editing, the textures look great. Well done. :wink:

Indeed, Aaro, but for the TEX format converting is enough leave the original .tex files in the folder and replace them doing the converting. Tex Manager program will automatically take their mipmap, flag and offset settings.

Ya know, the red rocket really does look much better that way...

True, that one.

This new car looks nice! Keep it up! :)

Thanks again people...As I'm waiting for Sajmon to send me the dashboard this week, I worked a bit on the damages:

As you may notice, I also tweaked the .vehCarDamage to show more bent steel, along with fixing the SmokeOffset so it matches better its IRL namesake :wink:

But, for some odd reason, the "Top" & "Back" areas seems to take very little to no damage :? ...Any ideas about how am I supposed to fix that out?

Very good looking damages. :wink:
The damages textures working is kind of bad in the game. If the paintjob textures are too little, the car gets almost all damaged no matter where you hit, instead if they're bigger, that happens less frequently but hardly you can get damage texture almost all visible. Their mapping on the model counts a lot too. Sounds that you've already increased the TextelDamageRadius value of the .vehcardamage file.

Okay, I've been resizing some paintjob textures as you said, and... WTF!!! 8O

In the .vehCarDamage file, set radius value to something small, for smaller smoke; set it really high and it will be like this. :lol:

Indeed, some radius values were insanely huge, now it's fixed:

I guess, I'm done with the "destructive" part of the job....It could have look way better than this, but that's the best what I could get from the game's outdated physics ^_^"

Oh, and I also managed to edit some menu stuff:

In other words, 95% of the work is completed, it should be finished in a week or so :wink:

Awesome! Can't wait to drive it - not very often that you see a new MM2-like addon. :)

The damage textures on the front and back look like they've been pulled like rubber bands. Just saying.

Well, that's due to those areas being UV-Mapped from frontal angle & the roof being mapped in a part of the hood... A quick preview on Blender where I selected the stretched areas so you can see what I'm talking about.
