Paint creation tutorial

[simmme181]

Could someone give me step by step description how to get suit and kart to show ingame?

Ive read earlier posts and get kind off confused when "kart folder" is showing up since i dont have one?

Extract the file karts.pkz with winrar and you have the file in your kartracing directory.
That is the easiest way.
And then read the wiki from page 1.

Got it to work

I can get the bodywork to show up, I put that in the karts/ks1/paints folder but I cannot get the chassis to show up. Seriously I am retarded when it comes to this and I need someone to hold my hand and walk me through this.

Piboso can you tell us please which parts of karts are paintable? i tried some and found the airbox,axle,chain,pedal,radiator,seat for this you have to rename the tga to TK_seat and the other parts what`s with rims and steering wheel and chaincover? don`t find the correct names. is that possible?

[Racehard]

And how about shadow and details on the parts if you do it the way schwoni suggested?

PiBoSo could you make these paints accessable, so that we could change the colour of a metal or else (pedals, radiator, clutch-,brake lever or steering wheel) easily with photoshop, without loosing any detailed texture stuff like the shadows etc.
That would be really awesome

someone know what about this?

Thank you

What happened to TK_radiator and TK_airbos and TK_seat? I made a  cool seat as did Schwoni. And I added a black radiator.  My paint was very close to my actual kart

They don't exist anymore.

Hey guys, first post for me.

Tried to make my own helmed and it worked fine at first.
After I made some changes via gimp on the templade and safed it to Silver_Helm.tga (like I did bevor) and packed it with painted.exe to the game folder\driver\paints\, it doesnt work anymore .

That was my first try:

after my chanings my folder and ingame looks like that:




But as you can see, the helmed is still the base one.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

Silver

its is proabably your paintED filenames
they should be

helmet.tga
visor.tga
visor#2.tga (for rain)

or it wont work

[Silver]

Thank you evo1087,

that was the problem.

.png can be named freely
.tga has to be helmed.tga

I got i now
