This has been a windfall in teaching me how this actually works and why ! I have never begun to understand any of this and just changed numbers and watched what happened. Thank you very ,very much.
Thanks a ton. I've never been a 3D modeler by any stretch, but I'm just starting to make baby steps into this. I made a very simple edit to a car to remove some badging (to denote a lesser model). I managed to get it back into a .kn5 but discovered all the windows and lenses had turned into portals, showing straight through the car and not showing any of the interior. Following this tutorial it was easy to figure out that I needed to manually re-set "transparent=yes" for all the windows and lenses to fix it. Somehow those settings got flipped vs the original - maybe that setting gets lost when the .kn5 is unpacked, but whatever, now I understand things a little better.
Great Tutorial my friend! Thanks for posting this.. First video I've seen which actually makes sense to me regarding the KS.. Too many people never get to the point. Thanks for being specific on this.. DMAX motion sim
I am trying to wing things and came across the video. I gave up on trying to move my camera LOL, thanks for the controls. Time to watch the rest of this. I'm so giddy with excitement to learn all of this.
Thanks this is exactly what I needed. I thought I could figure out as a web dev. The mapping and shader stuff is a little less intuitive than I expected.
most likely because you have an illegal character in the persistence file. Check object, material, and texture names for any illegal characters and remove them.
Very good tutorial, helped me a lot ! thanks ! Manage to tweak a shitty mod to make it looks...not too terrible, and without having to use a 3DS Max or Blender or stuff software Thanks god making physic changes is suprisingly...easier !
Dude, I met a problem that when I import fbx in kseditor,it quit automatically. Then I tried to set all the objects with one material, it successfully imported. So I can make sure it's the material that went wrong. Could you help me to find out how to solve this?
the problem is most likely a forbidden character in the persistence like different unicode characters that aren't normal. Go through the materials or objects and try to find which one is causing the issue and rename it.
hi man, do you know why my kseditor crash when i import an fbx file if the name is the same as it was? but if i change the name then the textures and everything is gone, just the 3d model. I've tried to directly open freshly unpacked file but still crash
I would like to turn the dark rims on a racing 488 Tomasi Ferrari to a high polish chrome. Can I do this with ksEditor. I had the chrome rims when I first downloaded the car from the modder but over time somehow the rims went dark. Maybe because of an update. Thx you sir.
nice man! you helped so much!! but I always have had a question .. is it possible to give texture to every single part of car one by one? like tire then rim then grille then headlights? png files i mean
@@capt_nugget yes.they all have,because I model it in 3dsmax many part like dash ,speedometer grille and... have separate texture but they are not separate object
Great tutorial!i would like to ask you something. is there a way to increase the sun brightness on the entire scene ? Or i need to apply it on every object with ksDeffuse ?Thanks in advance!
the brightness of the sun can't be changed, you can change the time of day but I can't see why would would want to make the sun darker because it will just make your car appear different in game
@@capt_nugget Thanks for the replay.Well i do want to increase the brightness on all scene not to reduce it ,and as you said that this cant be done.So the only way to do it ,is by increasing every object deffuse to gain more sun lighting on it right ?

Hi thanks for the video! I am using the v6 of the editor and am running into problem with not being able to select objects in a model using the right mouse button. The objects can be selected in the tree on the left hand side of the program but just couldn't right click them directly to select. If I export the car, the cars shows up properly in CM showrooms. Just wondering if you have ever run into that and if you know why, thanks.
Hey! I just had to watch your perfect vid and wanted to apply it to my own little-changing 3d model , but discovered that my KS editor not want to open any fbx file :( When i try to open the erroe pop out and say "unhandled exception found" and many many lines of error text... Do you know what can I do? thanks in advance,also for beautiful tutorial
Hi! I have a question about how to make trees, I tried to do it with Alpha test shader but the texture didn't cut off the gray area. Could you explain more about Alpha test shader?
I think trees would be a little better with alphablend and probably PerPixelNM. This depends on your texture of course but it would make it have softer edges on the leaves. AlphaTest is usually reserved for decals mainly, things that have hard edges.
Ok, now how I cast light from a material, let´s say I put new lights in a car. I did it but lights are not emmiting light in the showroom or in the game.

Hi, when open a fbx file form race track builder, the camera is under the track and I cant go above to set thing up. Any idea ? I had the same probleme view month ago and I don't remenber what I need to do.

Hi, thanks for the best tutorial out there. Can you help with the problem I'm having. So I try to swap wheels from civic to e30 and i did everything in 3DS max, I load the persistencies, first of civic, then of e30 and save kn5 from kseditor without any errors. However when I start loading the race with this car get 13 errors popping up one by one. one of them: "couldn't set texture dirt.dds for material Tyre_tread for slot txDirty" the rest are similar as in couldnt set texture for something. After I click OK for all of them the game does load, the car looks good and has wheels, so most of these errors are some unnoticable things. I tried fixing in kseditor but couldn't find materials with specified name. Please help, thanks
your problem probably stems from loading the second persistence, if you are just swapping wheels, it might be easier to just copy over the values manually if it is only a couple of new materials. Check for any red highlighted materials in the material browser in ksEditor to see if any textures are missing.
man i've been having this issue for a while and i can't find the solution anywhere. some cars have booleans that shouldn't be applied and instead rendered in game, and i'm pretty sure people use priorities to achieve that, i was wondering if you knew anything about priorities
I only know how to use them with glass, I wasn't aware you could do it with other meshes. That would actually be kind of helpful for some GTS models that do the same thing.

Finally found what I am searching for, big thanks !!!
Thanks for the guide, very useful, But I have such a question when loading persistence, kseditor just crashing
most likely because you have an illegal character in the persistence file. Check object, material, and texture names for any illegal characters and remove them.

You missed something i think. My KS editor rendering is very poor,pixelated. How can i make the image clear like in the game ?
for me there is no SDK directory in the AC file how can i find it??
3:07 - "Wherever the model is"? What is the process for getting the FBX file to exist so it can be selected?
That involves sourcing a 3d model from somewhere online, an unpacked AC mod, or something you made yourself.

You can do this with KS editor or you could do a material replacement with CSP, both are equally valid.
grazie
nice man! you helped so much!! but I always have had a question .. is it possible to give texture to every single part of car one by one? like tire then rim then grille then headlights? png files i mean
Yes of course, if each mesh has a separate material, you can have a different texture for each one.
@@capt_nugget yes.they all have,because I model it in 3dsmax many part like dash ,speedometer grille and... have separate texture but they are not separate object

MR NUGGY do u have the link to a B&m shifter pro stock?
Nope. Sorry this took 7 months to respond lol, I hope you found one.

I would check for illegal characters, i.e. non alphanumeric characters, for example special Unicode characters or emojis.

You can just copy the folder from another car but make sure you actually change everything in the data and the sound
