[?] Custom Vehicle DFF & TXD

[Caneman]

My code looks like this

hunter_client.lua

 txd = engineLoadTXD("data/voodoo.txd") 
engineImportTXD(txd, 412) 
dff = engineLoadDFF("data/voodoo.dff") 
engineReplaceModel(dff, 412) 

My data folder is in the same directory as the script, and when i join the game it starts downloading but it stops pretty fast, but the

voodoo is still a voodoo.

My meta.xml

 <meta> 
    <info author="Mack" name="The Hunter" version="1" type="gamemode" /> 
    <script src="hunter.lua" /> 
    <script src="hunter_client.lua" type="client" />

You have to specify the mod files in the meta.xml file...

 <meta> 
    <info author="Mack" name="The Hunter" version="1" type="gamemode" /> 
    <script src="hunter.lua" /> 
    <script src="hunter_client.lua" type="client" /> 
</meta>  

should be

<meta> 
    <info author="Mack" name="The Hunter" version="1" type="gamemode" /> 
    <script src="hunter.lua" /> 
    <script src="hunter_client.lua" type="client" /> 
    <file src="data/voodoo.dff" /> 
    <file src="data/voodoo.txd" /> 
</meta>

Thats why i love you frank <3

Ill give it a try and report back

[Caneman]

Well, The files certainly downloaded, but the server crashed after the download, i don't know if its the hunter_client.lua or more likely its just a bad model.

[Nissandrifter]

Are you installing it as soon as a player joins ? Try with a command and see if it works.

[Caneman]

I changed the hunter_client.lua to

txd = engineLoadTXD("data/voodoo.txd") 
engineImportTXD(txd, 412) 
dff = engineLoadDFF("data/voodoo.dff") 
engineReplaceModel(dff, 412) 

the dff definitely changed, all tho it doesn't look like the txd worked

[Nissandrifter]

That seems to happen to me too, probably a bug

[Caneman]

Yes most likely, I guess it is only a preview package... I'm sure it will be fixed in the latest release.

[MitchPS]

What stands there in hunter.lua?

[Caneman]

Just game mode related stuff, the only thing their related to the vehicle is

function setupHunterWorld() 
    setWeather(
    setTime(00, 00) 
    createVehicle(412, -1640.8066,-2251.2615,31.4445,0.0, 0.0,87.2019) 
end 
  
addEventHandler("onResourceStart", getRootElement(), setupHunterWorld) 

[ShOtGuN]

Try to load the dff before the txd, then the txd file... Maybe it'll solve the problem.

[ChrML]

Yep, there are known bugs to the engine functions. They will be sorted out as soon as possible.

[bzuco]

when I placed new models, driver was sitting in the center of vehicle not in seat? How can I fix it?

[Caneman]

yes i had the same bug,

If you load the vehicle, AND THEN load the TXD the .txd files work (when i say load the vehicle i dont mean .dff i mean the acctually vehicle model, like, i set a timer after

onPlayerJoin because thats when vehicles are created for a player)

[bzuco]

it should be usefull to change vehicle driving with Lua scripts...

[MitchPS]

I want to change elegy3.txd.

How I do that?

Because 562 is elegy.txd not the 3.

[Guest]

mitchPS the name doesnt matter, so just rename the .txd file you have, all you neeed to worry about is the ID

[CJGrove]

I'm not so good at scripting i'm sorry but can someone tell why this script doesn't work?

lambo.lua

function EngineImportTXD() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD("supergt.txd") 
    engineImportTXD(txd, 506) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF("supergt.dff", 506) 
    engineReplaceModel(dff, 506) 
end 
bool engineImportTXD ( supergt.txd, 506 ) 
  
function EngineLoadDFF() 
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "supergt.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "supergt.dff", 506 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
dff engineLoadDFF ( supergt.dff, 506 ) 
  
function EngineLoadTXD() 
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "supergt.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "supergt.dff", 506 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
txd engineLoadTXD ( supergt.txd ) 
  
function EngineReplaceModel() 
txd = engineLoadTXD ( "supergt.txd" ) 
engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ( "supergt.dff", 506 ) 
engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
bool engineReplaceModel ( supergt, 506 ) 
  
  
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), EngineImportTXD) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), EngineLoadDFF) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), EngineLoadTXD) 
addEventHandler ( "onResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), EngineReplaceModel)

It just doesn't work.

[kevuwk]

function replaceModel() 
  txd = engineLoadTXD ( "supergt.txd" ) 
  engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
  dff = engineLoadDFF ( "supergt.dff", 506 ) 
  engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 

[CJGrove]

It works good now thank you.

PS. I were stupid i didn't even see those codes were te same i'm sorry but thank you.

[Guest]

i did as you said kevuwk, but the car is white, loli did as you said, but the car is white, lol

i mean that textures doesn't load

(whole script with .txd and .dff files: http://www.sendspace.com/file/47b5u2)

function replaceModel() 
    txd = engineLoadTXD ( "data/supergt.txd" ) 
    engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
    dff = engineLoadDFF ( "data/supergt.dff", 506 ) 
    engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 

[CJGrove]

Stop and start the script when you'r in the server then it loads good.

[SanZoR]

function replaceModel() 
  txd = engineLoadTXD ( "supergt.txd", 506 ) 
  engineImportTXD ( txd, 506 ) 
  dff = engineLoadDFF ( "supergt.dff", 506 ) 
  engineReplaceModel ( dff, 506 ) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 

Try this, it works for me

[MitchPS]

I have this problem

[CJGrove]

Thats a known problem with custom vehicles you are sitting in the middle of the vehicle.
