There are 3 main applications used for modding, these are 3ds Max, Zmodeler and Blender. 3ds Max provides the strongest toolset for modding but can only be installed free via trials or student licenses, whereas the other two are free. To learn more, read this thread

Blender can actually export/import DFF files?

[[QUESTION] Any colorable wheels replacements?]

Hey,

As far as I can tell vehicles only support 3 colors in MTA, the 4th doesn't register for some reason. I believe vehicles.ide needs to be modified, something that MTA has no functions for at the moment.
There is no wheel model in GTA SA that can be painted, but you can easily adapt them by adding the third vehicle paint code to the wheel DFF.

What software can open a DFF file if I can ask?

[[QUESTION] Any colorable wheels replacements?]

Hi!

I wanted to ask a simple question:
Assuming that vehicle's 3rd and 4th colors are free to use, are there any wheel models that could potentially use these color channels to alter their colors?

Thanks in advance!

[[QUESTION] Accessing variables in different .lua files of a single resource.]

Okay, got an answer myself.

[[QUESTION] Accessing variables in different .lua files of a single resource.]

I wanted to ask if you can access variable x from scrip1.lua in script2.lua. The thing is that I have a special variable in a script that loads an XML file, and I wanted to create another script specifically for commands, and in it I wanted to acces the special variable.

[[REL] bengines - simple custom vehicle sounds]

Little question, I don't know why, but when I start this resource and spawn any car, I can't hear ANYTHING. May it be a problem with my server, or it is a temporary problem with resource?

Hi, 

I highly advise you to take a look to the "bengine" ressource to take a look at how it actually works

 

The main issue is that you have to disable EVERY VEHICLE SOUNDS for EVERY VEHICLES in order to achieve what you are trying to do (and that's how the previously mentionned resource works)

Well, problem is, that whenever I start the resource and spawn a new vehicle, I have NO sounds. I mean, I was using bengines a long time ago before, and it played custom engine sounds. Now, it doesn't.

I haven't done/tested this before, but you can change the vehicle engine type. Not sure if that affects the audio as well.

setVehicleHandling ( theVehicle, "engineType", "electric")

 

 

No, it doesn't affect the audio.

EDIT#1: I've tested that before in normal GTA San Andreas. If engine type of cars in San Andreas would make a difference (e.g. in sound, acceleration, etc.), I wouldn't start this thread.

[[HELP] My friend gets kicked out for not having some assets downloaded.]

Hello,

Me and my friend are trying to play together on my MTA server. When he downloads almost all the resources and etc. he gets kicked out for this: 

Anyone does know what may cause this?

[[QUESTION] How to disable engine sound for a SPECIFIC car?]

setWorldSoundEnable is exactly what you need but you will need to experiment to see which one is for the electric cars you will use.
For example:

setWorldSoundEnable(40, false)

This will mute the engine sound but you will still hear the idling so you need to mute from ID 7 to 16 (depends on the car).

Here is the list of the world sound groups: World_sound_groups

function s()
  for i = 7, 16 do
    setWorldSoundEnabled(i, false)
    end
  end

 

Unfortunately, nope. I mean, when I use setWorldSoundEnabled I can't hear engine sound of a Bullet, driven by my friend.

[[QUESTION] How to disable engine sound for a SPECIFIC car?]

Hello!

I'm back after a big break. I began playing on my MTA server again. Today, I tried to add electric cars to my server. It's almost done, but there is still only one thing left to achieve. Well, I am trying to disable ALL engine sounds, for electric cars, to make them more realistic. So, I've looked up for some resources, nothing helped. setWorldSoundEnable - I don't know if this function can disable sounds for a specific entity, I only know, that it completely disables all sounds from a specific world sound group.

Any ideas?

The resource that you have gave me is really cool and does the job, but, when I press the control for the mirror, the game starts being laggy...

[[QUESTION] Is there any way to get what player camera sees?]

Hi! I wasn't active for quite a long time, because I started playing GTA V.

So I'm back with yet another question! Well, I wanted to know, if there is any way to get, and optionally view it with DX or something, what player camera sees in the moment...

The cause of this, is because I wanted to make a mirror for the cars, so players can easily see what's behind them. Of course, I wanted to add this feature to my whole car system, which's for now including a complete loader for custom shops, speedometer, supported RGB colors and upgrades when saving and reading car info, etc.

BTW, i dont know why, but when i posted this question first, my browser stopped working and the post actually has been added to the forum, sorry for this duplicate.

Any ideas?

[Concated table to table]

3 hours ago, Geo said:

Would you be able to post your answer so people that encounter your problem in the future be able to use this as reference / solution?

Here you go:

To convert string like "element one, element two, element three" to table, you do:

str = "element one, element two, element three"
tab = string.split(string, ", ")

To convert table like {"element one", "element two", "element three"} back, to string you do:

tab = {"element one", "element two", "element three"}
str = table.concat(tab, ", ")

Hope I helped you too!

Are any of these values assigned to a variable?

or if they're:

Well, i converted this table:

To this string using table.concat():

"1015, 1008, 1087, 1086, 1084"

Now, how can I un-concat this string, to make it table again??

Any ideas?

[[Help] How to show exact image section, that local player is standing on map?]

Maybe I asked in wrong way, maybe yes, maybe no. But the point is, that the image I am rendering has set 0, 0 pos into left upper corner, not in the middle of it. So maybe I need to set center of image, but I don't know how.

[[Help] How to show exact image section, that local player is standing on map?]

I mean, how do I can show exact image section, that player is standing on in the real world now, using dxDrawImageSection()?

Like, when mini map is in size of 3000px by 3000px, how to show exact same pos, that local player is on?

I tried a lot with:

local x, y = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
local x = (x * hud.width) / 3000
local y = (y * hud.height) / 3000
--Rest of code

or

hud.units = 3000 / 6000

local x, y = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
local x = x * hud.units
local y = y * hud.units

--Rest of code

(I even tried with just):

lo

local x, y = getElementPosition(localPlayer)
--Rest of code

But I guess, that I'm showing w r o n g image section. How can I fix it, or make it better?

I tried to understand others' code, but I couldn't. So, I'm writing my, but still, I need some help. So how can I fix something?

BTW, if someone want to see full code, please, visit here: [click, Code v2].

And if you will manage something, please, share it with me, I want to learn how to do something correctly.
