Replacing car models/textures

[proracer]

Hi all, I have been trying to replace NRG-500 and Elegy DFF and TXD files.

Elegy:

function ClientStarted() 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ("elegy.txd") 
engineImportTXD (txd, 562) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ("elegy.dff") 
engineReplaceModel (dff, 562) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), ClientStarted ) 

function ClientStarted() 
  
txd = engineLoadTXD ("nrg500.txd") 
engineImportTXD (txd, 522) 
dff = engineLoadDFF ("nrg500.dff") 
engineReplaceModel (dff, 522) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), ClientStarted ) 

Always same error @ line 5,6: Bad 'string' pointer and bad 'dff' pointer.

Is there something wrong with dff files or...?

do you have the DFF files at meta.xml?

Btw: you are using same function name O_o, why don't you put all in one?

I have all car mods resources seperated eg., "customelegy", "customnrg".Because it's easier to use.

-Yes I added files to meta.xml

You could easily have figured this out when checking the wiki. You need to specify the vehicle model in engineLoadDFF.

function ClientStarted() 
  txd = engineLoadTXD ("elegy.txd") 
  engineImportTXD (txd, 562) 
  dff = engineLoadDFF ("elegy.dff",562) 
  engineReplaceModel (dff, 562) 
end 
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), ClientStarted )

its still same model.

here its the Mod.lua

function replaceModel()  
  txd = engineLoadTXD("hydra.txd", 520 ) 
  engineImportTXD(txd, 520) 
  dff = engineLoadDFF("hydra.dff", 520 ) 
  engineReplaceModel(dff, 520) 
end 
addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()), replaceModel) 
  
addCommandHandler ( "reloadcar", replaceModel )
