I like the one they have in it more.

What I've (managed to) get done


And yes it faces the wrong way when driving

... and you can't get in to it...

[Mr. Jago]

To be honest I doubt there's even a real difference in geometry, it could probably work just as well as a texture mod or UV map edit of the original model. It IS a little bigger than the final model, though I don't know if it really was a bigger car originally or if that's just Manhunt's scale.

EDIT: Wait nevermind, that wouldn't work, body's shaped differently.

sh*t, I hope something can be done.

[saibot_20194]

any updates????

[Andreaz1]

Inside ZModeler:


Things to do: A lot. But I have at least managed to split the whole bodywork into its individual parts now.

And I've also broken my Vice City quite badly so I haven't tested in a long time to see how it looks in game yet. Probably just as bad as the last picture I posted as I can't get the materials working for some reason.

You can use the material editor to select the windows and make them transparent. Looks good. That would make the second beta car available for VC

[Andreaz1]

Thank you I haven't come to the windows yet as I haven't looked through the .txd file for some textures that I am missing, like the window ones. (Not to mention I then have to set up that matrial as well... alphas scare me ) Also the damaged part textures and the spec texture, which I have a feeling could be why I can't get the material working properly.

If they aren't included in the .txd I will use the ones from the finished Blista Compact in Vice City.

Haven't you done anything on it? I thought you were going to finish this before I could blink as I'm such a newbie to modding

And also, thought I'd show you that quite a fundamental part of the car is missing, although it goes surprisingly well without it

You seem to be doing perfectly fine

Well with the crackedglass textures you will either need to remap it or just recycle the final vice city ones, but only if they fit the beta model. Also the engine could probably be taken from the final one also, and if it doesn't quite fit, you can move some of the polys around to stretch them to fit. I'm not sure what else you would need to do besides remodeling the whole engine but i doubt you want to do that.

The dummies are all messed up somehow


Upsides: Most materials seem to be working and you can actually get in and drive it now. As you can see I've also done an engine transplant.

I can attempt to make the body texture white if you want.

EDIT: Actually, I just compared the red one with the final one and they're identical except for color obviously.

[Andreaz1]

Yeah, I suspected so. Thing is, I dunno what is causing all the bodyparts to spawn in the wrong places and I don't know how to fix it either. Nothing I do matters, they always look like that. I don't think it's the dummies either as replacing them with the finished Vice City ones doesn't work either.

[ITBTD]

weren't they placed like that in the original .dff? maybe that's why.

[Andreaz1]

Well I thought that if the dummies were the reason, I would at least see some change in those bodyparts but no. Doesn't matter if I change the location of the dummies or if I change dummies completely, those parts are staying exactly where they are in the picture, hence why I don't think they are the problem anymore.

[ITBTD]

I was talking about the models themselves. I remember importing them and the whole vehicle was vertical on the axis instead.

[Andreaz1]

The low poly model of the original Blista looks like that. However, this model didn't. This one however was rotated 180 degrees, hence why it drove around backwards at first. I rotated it manually 180 degrees to correct that, but the dummies can't be rotated so I had to reposition those manually.

Also, the hi poly model of this beta Blista is enlarged, however the damaged parts are not, meaning that the damaged parts don't quite fit on the main body of the car.

I fixed that by shrinking the model to 91% of it's original size. All the damaged parts fit properly and it is also coincidentally the same size as the finished Blista in the original Vice City.

However, none of this can still make those body panels spawn where they are supposed to be.

... yeah. It's complicated.

[NewportByChrysler]

sh*t, hopefully it can be fixed without ruining the exactness.

[Mr_Leone]

I prefer the beta design.
