    [HELP]Replace car paintjobs?

    in Scripting

    Posted

    Yes, it's possible by way of shaders in MTA 1.1. Here is the shader fx code you need (provided with no restrictions by Gamesnert):

    texture gTexture; 
  
technique TexReplace 
{ 
    pass P0 
    { 
        Texture[0] = gTexture; 
    } 
}

    As you can see, all it does is substitute the texture it would have used for the one you provide.

    In lua, you use it like so:

    addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
    function() 
     
        texture = dxCreateTexture ( "path/to/imagename.png/.jpg/.bmp" ) 
        shader, tec = dxCreateShader( "texturereplaceshader.fx" ) 
         
        --bit of sanity checking 
        if not shader then 
            outputConsole( "Could not create shader. Please use debugscript 3" ) 
            destroyElement( texture ) 
            return 
        elseif not texture then 
            outputConsole( "loading texture failed" ) 
            destroyElement ( shader ) 
            tec = nil 
            return 
        else 
            engineApplyShaderToWorldTexture ( shader, "internalfilenamewithoutextension" ) 
            dxSetShaderValue ( shader, "gTexture", texture ) 
        end 
         
    end 
)

    dxCreateTexture is quite versatile for what filetypes it will take, but it will not accept txd files, and the files given should be in sizes of a power of 2. (1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256...) If you don't want a texture to be stretched/cropped, it should match the size of the texture you're replacing.

    You can call the shader file whatever you want, as long as it's referenced correctly in the code and the meta.xml. Use the tag.

    The internal texture file name can be retrieved in one of 2 ways: the 'hard' way of calling https://wiki.multitheftauto.com/wiki/Eng ... xtureNames and trying to identify which one in the list you are after,

    or how DazzaJay hinted at above, open the relevant TXD file in an editor and see what the filename is for the texture you want to replace. Don't append an extension.

    The dxSetShaderValue line actually passes the texture data to the shader. If you want an animated texture, you can keep calling this function. (this is what Gamesnert's nyancat resource does) the "gTexture" string is a reference to the texture variable defined in the shader file.

    Remember to also send your clients the image file! Again, use the tag.

    common names for car paintjobs:

    body256

    e.g.:

    elegy2body256

    flash3body256

    jester1body256

    stratum2body256

    sultan2body256

    MTA Team awarded 13th in "15 modders that changed PC gaming"

    in News

    Posted

    http://gamingbolt.com/2010/03/20/15-mod ... pc-gaming/

    GamingBolt ran an article on ther 15 most influential PC modding teams and MTA Team came 13th!

    “PC mods, or modifications, are one of the primary reasons why the PC is often looked on as superior to its console brothers. Mods can be anything from new game modes, to new units, to graphical enhancements to complete game overhauls. However, behind the mods are a team of focused, dedicated people, who rarely get the accolades they deserve.”
    Grand Theft Auto San Andreas takes the award for having the largest living GTA universe. Some argue that it was the best game in the franchise- and the massive amounts of free roaming and the (slight) emphasis on realism really helped push the game above and beyond people’s expectations. One thing the game didn’t have though, was multiplayer. This was sorely missed in a game with so much racing and free roaming potential, but luckily the good folks behind MTA found a solution. What started out as an experiment with crude forms of online racing has turned into the one truly decent, fully functioning multiplayer segment to a great game.

    I've always felt MTA hasn't received half of the attention it rightly deserves in relation to the effort that has gone into it. The entire team should be very proud of their accomplishments, and congratulations on the accolade!

    spawnPlayer don't work :C

    local SpawnElements = getElementsByType ( "spawnpoint", mapRoot )
for key, value in pairs(SpawnElements) do   --DELETE THIS LINE!!!
local value = SpawnElements[math.random(#SpawnElements)]
local x = tonumber( getElementData( value, "posX" ) )  --50p was correct in that these have to be converted to numbers, I missed that
local y = tonumber( getElementData( value, "posY" ) )
local z = tonumber( getElementData( value, "posZ" ) )
local r = tonumber( getElementData( value, "rotZ" ) or 0 )
repeat until spawnPlayer ( thePlayer , x, y, z, r, math.random (0,288))
end   --DELETE THIS LINE!!!

    Do you have any notion of code execution AT ALL?

    Look back to what I said earlier:

    Edit: Quick glance at your code reveals that IF it's getting the data from the map file correctly (I didn't look at that) your loop will overwrite x,y,z,r each time, then the values they will actually contain every single time it reaches spawnPlayer will be the ones for your final spawnpoint in the map file.

    I told you what to put in instead of looping through, and you totally ignored me and just pasted in my replacement, IN THE LOOP I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE.

    You are currently spawning the same player over and over again for as many times as you have spawnpoints.

    Remove the for...do ... end loop lines altogether. You do NOT need to parse every spawnpoint, just pick one of them, which the code I wrote for you did.

    This will be the last time I help you in this matter, as clearly you just want someone to just fix your code for you. I help people correct their mistakes, not do their work for them.

    Indeed, I was saying that a player that uses a gamepad will be sending AnalogState's, not the usual digital inputs. Therefore this code will not see any input, and will kick an active player.

    Interstate69..

    If I recall, Interstate69 had fatal issues (causing a server crash I think), which is why it was not updated.

    As long as you give credit however, I doubt anyone would mind it being fixed up, and it may well be possible that the problem does not exist anymore. :)

    List of valid skin IDs.

    And in case you are even lazier than clicking a link:

    Non-working IDs

    1-6 8 42 65 74 86 119 149 208 265-273

    The best option around this is to use

    repeat until spawnPlayer ( thePlayer , x, y, z, r, math.random (0,288)) end

    Edit: Quick glance at your code reveals that IF it's getting the data from the map file correctly (I didn't look at that) your loop will overwrite x,y,z,r each time, then the values they will actually contain every single time it reaches spawnPlayer will be the ones for your final spawnpoint in the map file. Use:

    local value = SpawnElements[math.random(#SpawnElements)]
local x = getElementData( value, "posX" )
local y = getElementData( value, "posY" )
local z = getElementData( value, "posZ" )
local r = getElementData( value, "rotZ" ) or 0
repeat until spawnPlayer ( thePlayer , x, y, z, r, math.random (0,288)) end

    This will pick a random spawnpoint element rather than loop through all of them.

    Edit2: getElementData( value, "rot" ) is returning nil. It doesn't exist, as your map file contains "rotX, rotY, rotZ" values.

    Edit3: Your timers are not passing "thePlayer" to your joinHandler function.

    Alter them:

    setTimer( joinHandler, 1800, 1, source )

    Edit4: This just won't work. (Line 7)

    triggerEvent ( "PlayerSpawn", rootElement )

    Again, it will not receive "thePlayer". You should use getElementsByType("player") and loop through them, triggering your event for each and making sure to pass on the player element.
