White Car Problem

Hey guys,

I know this has happened to many people and there has been fixes everywhere.
I downloaded Soulbringers Mclaren MP4-27 and placed it in the cars.wad folder but it came up as completely white.
So I looked for fixes and I've tried pretty much all the ones I could find, including editing the f1graphics but it still hasn't done anything.

What do you recommend I do? The only thing I changed in terms of the files was the texture files from hi_mp4_27.tex to hi_mclaren_1.tex ext.
Do I just place the files in there without renaming anything? Or should I try a different car?

Any advice would be great

Thanks

Don't rename textures! You can only rename them if you have also renamed them from shape trough gp4builder, if you rename only textures it will be white in game!

try in gp4 builder if they have the name of the tex

exemple(hi_mp4-27_1.tex)

put (mp4-27_1.tex)

in gp4 builder if they have the hi_ in front in game still white
but the tex dont change the name

if the name of tex in the pack
is hi_mp4-27_1.tex

dont touch

Well I tried it without renaming the textures and still the car is white.

And I have looked in GP4Builder and I have found the name of the texture files but they are in .tga format.
I can't see anywhere of a .tex file unless I am missing something? (I am a complete noob to GP4builder..)

I have found that it is missing some textures but Im guessing that's ordinary? Textures like hi_mp4_27.tga ext

1)converte the tex to tga
2) open gp4 builder
3)importe your car in
4) the tex appear on the car
5) you have to found the rename tex in gp4 builder i think in the tools categorie
6)delete the hi_
7)save as
8)dont forget to converte the tga to tex

9) do this for the 2 cars

I think Im getting the hang of it, I've tried that method and it works up until I play the game... The car is still white so I can only think Im doing something wrong, it may be
converting the tga back to tex Im not sure

Iff uu likee can sendd mee yourr car shape with the tex files and i send u fixed

1) In the game, go to Options - Graphics - Advanced and set Texture Detail to High.

2) Make sure the car texture filenames start with "hi_".

3) Don't rename textures - they are linked to the .gp4 car shape files.
