ADA : new colors

Recommended Posts

Hi.

I would want to change the color of the ADA and Sedan cars, but it seems more difficult to do than under Arma 3... 😕 I have tried with ADA Hood, but it stills in blue nuances.

What is ths way that Dayz uses in order to colorize vehicles ?

Nobody knows how to retexture cars in DayZ ?

A Modder ? A Ddevelopper ?

Hello, Dayz is not using texture like ArmA does.

For cars you have a "base texture" and inside a config file you are going to change the color.

In short, instead of making 10 skins variant with only a color change you can do the same but with 10 config files for your 10 cars.

Go take a look in the config files for the sedan you'll see 😉

Hi.

Thx for the answer. 🙂

I thought that i had discover what you explain, but i wasn't sure ; your explanations make me sure for that. 🙂

 

But now appear different problems :

- For example, with niva_hoodred.rvmat, where are the values to change ? class Stage0 ? class Stage1 ? class Stage2 ? class Stage0 ? class Stage3 ? class Stage4 ? etc until class Stage14. All these parameters  have to be changed, or only someone ? What mean all these parameters ?

- How change the values ? Like in class Stage0 : texture = "#(argb,8,8,3)color(0.6,0.0,0.0,1.0,co)"; What the values are to be changed ? I'm not sure that it is 0.6,0.0,0.0 or 0.0,0.0,1.0 or something else.
  And texGen = "0"; is important ? Or it is "without" importance for retexture ?

- This system means that we can't have for example 2 colors on the same part of a car, like the hood ? For example a red hood with a white line : it would be impossible, no ?

You need to change the values in which the blue color is indicated. If I remember correctly, it will be Stage1 and Stage2. Do not change the rest.

For red, try specifying texture = "# (argb, 8,8,3) color (1.0,0.0,0.0,1.0, co)".

Most likely, you will encounter another problem. The color you specify will be displayed only if the character is near the hood.

Does anyone know the solution?

A complex process, I think developers can give a tool for changing the color of the car. Can they ask about it?

Correct parameters is Stage2 and Stage3. Your problem with colors is a Lod system. probably Stage3 changes color on lower lod, so in distance it changes a color.

Other question is: How did you override a p3d materials via config? In DamageSystem config part?
