Change color on wheel textures

Thanks guys. I'm having some trouble with FB. I'm using this body.

I need to change the wheel colors. But when I click on yellow in the bmp, it turns to bright red. What do I have to do?

What program are you using to paint. Have you seen this page?

And remember, just like when painting a truck body, you have to increase the colors for wheels too.

Have you thought of maybe finding wheels that are already made that might do the job too?

Thats the thing. I didn't increase it because there is color bar.

haha, thanks, does anyone have any ideas about the color thing?

It's still a color palette thing.

What color do you want the wheels?

These are the files, no?

K2WHL.ACT
K2WHL.RAW
K3WHL.ACT
K3WHL.RAW

PS. I'm going to split this topic out of the truck review.

Ok, I want them yellow. I'll try the wheel files.

burtonbraves · Post by **burtonbraves** » Wed Aug 20, 2008 5:47 pm

Those are the ones I had. Now I just need the color thing

Here you go. And the files are already renamed to avoid conflict.
<ul><li><a href="http://mtm2.com/~tracks/beta/models/FBOARWHEELS.zip">FBOARWHEELS.zip</a></li></ul>

I did that. But they still didn't change colors. Got everything else done.

Upload the truck and mark it as "beta". We'll get to the bottom of this.

Done, thanks for your help so far. I must be doing something wrong. But I dont know what

Download the zip I give you above. Copy the ACT and RAW files to your ART folder, and copy the BIN files to your MODELS folder. Then in the TRK file, update the "tireModelBaseName" like this

OLD

MTM2 truckName
Full Boar 2008
truckModelBaseName
FULLBOAR.bin
tireModelBaseName
bcnak
axleModelName
axlejplo.bin
shockTextureName
black.raw

NEW

MTM2 truckName
Full Boar 2008
truckModelBaseName
FULLBOAR.bin
tireModelBaseName
fboar
axleModelName
axlejplo.bin
shockTextureName
black.raw

Then save and remake the pod. You should be fine then.

And remember, repainting a wheel (or any model) is done in exactly the same way as repainting the truck body. Give everything a new, unique file name, repaint the texture and replace the name in the bin file. And if it's a truck, then update the TRK file so the game knows the right parts to use.

Nice!

tip > if you set the face type on those custom wheel bins to 'shiney mtm2' in binedit they will look much better cuz shiney blends the faces seamlessly.

I guess technically that would be my fault because I just replaced the textures that were there... I did not do anything else.

Shiney or flat... either way it works and looks fine.
