Hey Guys,





I love modding GTA IV, its fantastic. But many mods have problems with their Rim colors. They are always the same as the vehicle's body color! But when i saw the description picture in the website, the rim color is what it really should be (grey alloy).

How do i fix this issue? I've changed the carcols.dat lines properly, even the vehicles.ide. So where am I going wrong?

I thought maybe the Mod creator, when creating it (converting it with IV materials), made the rim models with the same material as the body model. Thus causing the rims to replicate the color of the body rather than having their own color scheme.



Hope atleast someone replies to this, because I did get a single reply in any of my previous posts here. Starting to think that this form is almost completely useless in terms of helping others.

u can use these 4 car col shades

[CLR:1]
[CLR:2]
[CLR:3] (for reflection color)
[CLR:4]

i bet u've used [CLR:1] for both body and rim, make the rim use [CLR:2] instead, then it's fixed

Thank monster! actually I didn't make all the color lines myself. I just copied and pasted them from the Readmes of the Mods, actually the Mod creator made those lines like that intentionally. I did edit them though, and now the rims look fine. Thanks mate, you're a Saint!

Rey_ron, what exatly you did to make this work? Im having this problem with 2007 ferrari f430 scuderia edit and convert by smokey. I already edit the line code on carcols, but nothing work. Im replacing the Turismo, even if i let the turismo line only with 0,0,0, nothing change, in game keeps the multi colors, and always the same rims and body. So nothing i can do in carcols turismo line, has effect in game. What should i do? Thanks.

check filelist.pak. im sorry i have uninstalled the game already. but yes its because the data files are un-editable originally. unlock the files, change their statues from "Read Only" to a modifiable alternative. But it confuses me, where you are unable to change the carcols.dat, this also means that you couldn't change its handling.dat line so your turismo should flip over whenever you take a turn, since the data files are locked to their original condition regardless of how much you change them.

u shall make the game modable, so u need an asi loader, scripthook and the filecheckfix.asi script.

asi loader and scripthook: http://www.gta4-mods.com/tools/asi-loader-...a-iv-1060-f4775

filecheckfix.asi: http://www.gtagaming.com/downloads/gta-iv/script-mods/2432

i found another mod that makes the game modable, doesn't need scripthook nor asi loader, but idk how it works, never used it.
