Green NRG500

[LiveLife]

Hey everyone, I'm currently trying to create an entirely green NRG500, so to say from the head to the toe only green. In order to do that, I've extracted in the first step the nrg500.txd and nrg500.dff out of the gta3.img. Then I've opened the nrg500.txd with TXD Workshop and replaced the four files "nrg50092body128.png", "nrg50092brakes64.png", "nrg50092decal64.png" and "nrg50092metal128.png" with only-green substitutes. Saved, archieve rebuilded, ingame result is this:



What do I miss here? Is there any editing of the nrg500.dff necessary? And if yes, how do I do that?
Additional Info: Link - Found this, but it doesn't really help me.

Nevertheless, I uploaded my files, Link. I hope, you guys can help me a bit. Thanks.

Rockstargames/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas/data -> search for carcols , open it , search for nrg500 in the list and the change the numbers behind nrg500 to "1,1" and save , done.

Thank you for the fast answer.

So, I opened the carcols.dat. I replaced this line
nrg500, 3,3, 3,8, 6,25, 7,79, 8,82, 36,105, 39,106, 51,118

with this line
nrg500, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1, 1,1

The result is this:


Any ideas, how to turn the remaining black, metallic (exhaust system, handlebar and spring) and red textures (the backlight) into green aswell?

Are you trying to green screen or something?

If you downloaded the clean nrg mod (removes stickers etc ont he bike) that would be a good place to start. You should be able to find it on here or google pretty easily. Open that up, edit it to the green you want.
It wont change the colour of the metal + brakes etc though, only the body.

For the stickers - enable the alpha channel in TXD workshop (Ctrl + P / Tick 'Alpha is used'). Click on 'nrg50092decals64' and then click on the 'alpha / mask' button at the bottom. Export the image, color it black, import it again and save it. The decals should now be 100% transparent. The alpha channel defines the transparency of the texture (white = 100% visible, black = 0% visible).

^ Basically what the NRG500 suggested by Cookie has. Just wrote down in case you can't find it.


For the black areas, exhaust, handle bar etc. ... that requires some .dff & .txd modding to get images for those areas/objects.


The headlights of the vehicles are in some seperated .txd file, I remember giving my Infernus evil eyes that way years ago. I dunno anymore which .txd file it was though ;(

Yeah, I have an idea in mind and I wanna give it a try. Thanks for your advice Labiloute, that was indeed one of the things I wanted to do aswell, but not the main idea.  I definitely need a green nrg.

Anyway, thanks to Rusch69 the nrg500 is now free of decals. Link to updated files


Additional Info: Never forget to get a new nrg500. A saved one simply doesn't do it. 


So, now they are still some black, metallic and red textures remaining. I just found this tutorial here, Link. Gonna test that and see what I can do.

I hope this has somethign to do with United 1.2

Nah good luck CD/LL, can't wait to see what you want to do (except making the bike invisible).

Rockstargames/GrandTheftAutoSanAndreas/models/generic open the vehicle.txd and you'll find this:





Hope it'll help you

That green looks pretty cool actually. haha

I hope this has somethign to do with United 1.2

Actually not, but be sure, work on United is continuing. ATP is scripting all the time  and Aschratt has his last exam in order for his diploma in about two weeks; therefore he should be able to spend more time then for United again aswell. Besides: Link

Well, I stopped stunting and don't plan on returning. This is just something I want to try out and see if it's something useful. 

Anyway huge thanks to Herrarge  (and Maggi of course too). Looks great! Here's the final result:
