Texture on the bus windows ?

Can you tell me how can I put a texture on the glass of the bus? I mean, texture of the whole bus, like that:

Hi there. I've tried to make a new repaint, the first one was ok, but when i tried to convert the second one...



Can someone help me?

Hi,

I've had that problem with some bitmap files saved with Photoshop. The way I solved it is to open the finished bitmap in Paint, and just save it. Then try using the repaint tool.

Hey Daniel, thank you for help. Now that works.

Can you tell me how can I put a texture on the glass of the bus? I mean, texture of the whole bus, like that:

Hi,

In the repaints Templates folder, you'll need to edit the 'MU' and the 'MA' files. In these files, make the windows white where you want your texture to show.

You can then use the Repaint Tool to create the .dds file.

You'll also need to copy the __trans.tga file into the bus folder and add where you want your texture to appear in that file. (Check the Cosy-Wasch .tga file and the .cti file in the D89 folder to get an idea of how it looks and what to add.)


Hope this helps.
Daniel

Thanks, man ! But look what happen:

Hi,

Would you be able to post a screenshot of your bitmap and tga files?

Hey, here them are: http://dox.bg/files/dw?a=59c5852659

They are in the rar archive. I hope that you can help me

Sorry to but in but do you mind telling us all what you did, i've been trying to figure out how to do this for ages.

Hi,

In the Repaints\SD__\Templates folder, you'll need to open up the relevant _MA.bmp and MU.bmp for the bus you want to repaint.

Fill in white the windows you want the texture to appear on e.g:

MU bitmap:



MA bitmap:



Once you've edited the MU and MA files, create your .dds with the repaint tool, and drop in into the relevant 'Werbung' folder for you bus.


Then copy one of the .tga files from the bus folder to the relevant 'Werbung' folder (I copied D89_tr_Cosy-Wasch.tga from Vehicles\MAN_SD202\Texture\Werbung_D89) and modify it to look a bit like this (adjusting the amount of transparency depending on how transparent you want the texture to be):




In the 'Werbung' folder, edit/create a .cti file. It will need an extra section because of the window textures e.g:

Code:

***************************************
Example
***************************************

[item]
Example
farbschema_tex1
'NAME OF TEXTURE 1'.dds

[item]
Example
farbschema_tex2
'NAME OF TEXTURE 2'.dds

[item]
Example
farbschema_trans
'NAME OF TGA FILE'.tga

Hope this helps,
Daniel

I use Paint Shop Pro X2 to create my skins & when I open the transparency file to edit it, it appears completely black & I can't see where the windows are.

I had the same problem opening the transparency files in other software. The only program I've managed to open it properly in is gimp.

Thank god I found this!! Thank you for the steps! I been trying to tint my windows but I have 1 small problem with the edges of some of the windows not covered. Its as if the tint doesnt go all the way to the edge of the window frame!

I can try to get a photo of it as soon as I get the chance!

EDIT: Problem solved! I just forgot that the .tga texture had to be the same exact shape as the .bmp file! I was editing that one and not copying it to the .tga file! I got it now!! Yay!!

Brilliant, Gimp opens a transparent .tga properly, yet PSP can't! WTF!

I haven't released it yet, still got a couple of tweaks to make and then I'll release it sometime today.
