Help/F.A.Q / Re: NFS 4 texture bug.

Last post by Nikster - Mar 09, 2026, 8:41 AM

Depending on which kind of texture (format) it is, it has to either be an 8 bit texture or 24bit or whatever. Just have a look at the texture you're replacing and make sure your new one gets the same format. Also make sure to use DXTbmp as it will crop the texture to depending rectangle sizes like 32x64 or 8x32 which is important for track textures. This tool is also capable of creating alpha channels on an 8 bit texture which is kind of a magical feature from this tool which is also very important when working with alpha channels

Ok thank you Pete, I will try DXTbmp and see if it works

Porsche 911 Carrera (993) from C-959:

car.fce:

- Centered with FCE Centerer (duh)
- Centered driver's and head's axles
- Rearranged head's position
- Added license plate dummies
- Fixed lights getting black when cracked => no cracks nomore
- Fixed left and right rear mirror's polygons, they've been using body colors, i've removed the UV mapping and made them semi-transparent
- Added :OLM and :ORM parts

dash.fce:

- Fixed dash needles for new carp.txt

car.viv:

- New more realistic carp.txt based on the original one. I was impressed how accurate the original carp.txt was.
- No class change as class A was the proper class to put this car into

Very lovely car. I'm not impressed by the head lamp's texture, but it's still ok

Help/F.A.Q / NFS 4 texture bug.

So, everytime I replace a texture in an NFS IV track, it goes completely transparant in the game. If I import one of the original game textures there, it works perfectly fine. What is the reason for this?

P.S. I use Adobe Photoshop for texture editing

Funny, I like Peugeot 504 coupe or Fiat 130 coupe or Lancia Gamma coupe with their simular designs,while the Ferrari 400i doesn't do it for me.

@Pete9516: A shooting break of the 504???, give me a break

I want to keep this little flower of utopia alive. Encouragement fuels voluntary creativity.

And you should. So do I aswell, even if I don't make mods for NFS High Stakes because I don't know how unfortunately, but I get excited on whatever car you make Butch. Remember, you are the sole NFS4 modder that is active as others have moved on or lost interest which is sad in my opinion.

As for the Peugeot 504, it's one of Peugeot's interesting car they've ever done, especially the coupé version. I also love it too. But, for French cars, a Renault 5 Super GT is something that I cannot stop loving.

@Butch: Pls don't say that. The 504 is such an awesome looking car. Just look at this station wagon, or the Coupe
EDIT: I thought you wrote "I don't think" then i've re-read and saw "I didn't think" which kinda changes the context, but anyway here's some nice pictures

Great words...really.

The internet give people an opportunity to be a 'bot'.

Some people are very polite and understanding in a conversation f.e.
But behind the wheel of their car where they feel save, they are impatient and yell at other drivers.

I didn't think the Peugeot 504 would have so many fans.

People help themselves at the buffet and leave without saying thank you. It's a matter of manners. I want to keep this little flower of utopia alive. Encouragement fuels voluntary creativity.

So somebody sees a nice add-on which he can download without logging in. And can't find the words to say something about it,didn't notice there's a ratingsystem, is he unsupportive or uncaring? What means bots b.t.w.
