Hi everyone

I have a problem with the wheel textures of my zmodeler carmod. when I load them into the game the wheels are changing there colour form the black they should have to white. they are also reflecting.
I am using the standard texture package with that wheel texture.

I am not doing everything new I just adjust the admiral file with the zmodeler.

you see what I mean on this pic.

that's caused by wrong bump map, try use another (if u even used one)

thanks for the answer.

do you have a tutorial or something which explains that "bump map" thing a litte bit?

[monster875.]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mapping <- i know it says normal map, but it's the same thing basicly

and here's an EXAMPLE of a bump map:

as u can see, it looks like it's making a 3d effect, and that's exactly what bump maps does, they make flat stuff look 3d

I just gonna add that PixPlant is a really good tool to create these normal maps.

one again thanks for the answers.

I do have another problem.
I was editing the admiral file (wft) and it works fine by replacing the admiral. but if I try to replace any other car with that wft file nothing happens and the car stays the same.
so what else do I need to do that I can replace other cars by renameing the wft and wdt files?

thanks
btw. I didn't want to open a new topic for that I hope someone could help.
