[TUT] How to make a car shader and test it in game
« on: 24 01, 2017, 06:35:30 pm »
Hello everyone, today I am going to teach you how to test shaders in-game.
Let's start.


How to make a Carshader and test it in-game?

follow these steps:[/center]
  • Install TXDworkshop.
  • Install any program that allows you to edit the shader (i am using PS c6 and cc 2017).
  • Download vehmod and save it on the desktop, then download the texture too. (Here)
  • Open (the program you want to use design your carshader texture) ,than save it as ".png" file.
  • Open TXDworkshop and than click on "open TXD" find the VehMod file and open it, than click on the TXD file, and import there the new texture.
  • Click on "save TXD" and than open: C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\server\mods\deathmatch\resources
  • Take your Vehmod file and add it in!
  • Open Mta, click on "Map Editor", press F5 and say "/start vehmod", then take the car from F1 and enjoy!


How to create a VehMod file/script to test your shader in-game?

follow these steps:
  • Download any VehMod file from CIT.
  • Open the file and delete the two "mod.txd" and "mod.dff" files.
  • Open the TXDworkshop and search the txd and the dff files of the car you want to test, and export it on the desktop.
  • Change their name into "mod.txd" for the txd file and "mod.dff" for the dff one.
  • Now add these two files to the VehMod folder.
  • In the Vehmod folder you'll see a file named "Client", open it with BlockNotes.
  • Now you have to change the car ID (Here you can find all GTA vehicle ID's) in, and save it.
  • Then take the folder and add it in C:\Program Files (x86)\MTA San Andreas 1.5\server\mods\deathmatch\resources oops! I have already done it.
  • Open Mta, Map Editor, Press F5, type "/start vehmod", take the car and have fun!


Also here I've made a full tutorial about this:
