Car editing

Hi folks,

A bit of a total noob at this I'm afraid, I was ok with GP2 and GP3 but still haven't got the hang of GP4 yet.

What I want to do is create my own livery for a car. I don't want to change the carshap at all just the colours.

I have the Wadupdate and TexResizer that I'm told I need, and I also have Photo shop, I'd just like to know how I go about creating a car livery for my self.

Any help will result in loads and loads of thanks.

you need to get the TEX of the car's and convert it to TGA's then you can open it in Photoshop to paint. I don't know exactly which programs you should use haven't done it for a while.

Matter is that livery mapping is different for each car, opposite to GP2/3.
So it's not that easy to just paint other existing liveries but if you grab one of the template car and use it as a unique car shape for all the cars in your game.

Anyhow, texresizer can be used to convert from tex (game texture format) to tga (standard image format) and "vice-versa".

Where can I get a car template from? I've looked on the web without much success so far.

There are some in gpgmaes' old doanwlod pages : (search the page for the word "template" will save your time)
