Thanks! I guessed the Zmodeler step would be a bit harder so I went with the "copy" method of replacing them with the BMW M5 part wheels and adjusting the .tga. I'm almost done with a very good copy!





Mine is a long wheel base so maybe in the future I'll try to extend the base of the car. But I need to tweak the wheels a bit, add some chrome strips and shrink the piece of chrome on the rear booth. But I think it's coming around nicely and thanks a lot for the help!

Question for another topic but what ways can I try to do some good "photography" inside NFS? The replay doesn't work with this model and the views are very back, front, side and not the angles you would like.

The replay doesn't work with this model? Just drive a race on any track where the replay cameras aren't screwed and pause the replay with the pause button in the middle if you want to take some nice screenshots

No so if I drive it a track it is replaced by a McLaren GTR... which also crashes immediately.

Yeah so the chrome parts had a grey alpha layer behind in the .tga so that explains it being overridden with body color. Don't know how but I managed to tick almost all boxes. The hardest step will be changing the wheels.I'm not sure which rout to go yet but I'm now trying to alter the original wheels. My idea was to strip out the spokes. Make the center fill out the wheel and replace the center cap with a full wheel image.

Or should I just replace it with an "easier" default wheel?



 

Thanks! Sorry for asking a lot but I got the options and checked High Chrome for the back end license plate.  The parts that are showing up chromed with the default vehicle have this box checked.

However it doesn't show up in game. I double checked the version of the car because I also removed the antenna. Is there a different kind of texture over it?

Thanks for the help!

So I got the car into Zmodeler. I removed the antenna and now I need to change some surfaces to chrome instead of body colour. This however is a complete mystery. There are some chrome parts on the car which is nice to "copy" the attributes but I have no clue how. Could someone assist me with that?






Next steps are changing the wheels and some badging work.

Hi! I've been playing and modding this game in the early 2000's. Now with a sense of nostalgia returning and a garage of cars I could only dream of at the time I'd like to mod my cars into the game when I was young.

So I'm oke with computers and a background in graphical design. I have downloaded all the tools like NFS Wizard, Zmodeler etc. I've extrated the .viv and from that moment I have no clue what I'm doing...

The first car I like to start with is the X308 Jaguar XJR. Luckely someone already made it: https://www.nfsaddons.com/downloads/nfshs/cars/jaguar/1819/jaguar-jaguar-xjr-100-x308.html but I own the Daimler Super V8 version so I like to start making some altercations to it.

Who knows if there still is a tutorial around to help me finish this project? And for the effort I'm always open to pay. Thanks!
