I KNOW !! That's what I am saying all the time… OR in New York… OR in Louisiana! Or Barcelona from Wheelman

That would be awesome! If I had DSF on the PC.... That is right now still broken T_T

I found vehicle colors.





They're stored in a very simple hexidecimal color value. Reverse the order since it's little endian. Each value starts with FF, then comes the color value. Do not touch the 4th value.

Oh my god, what is this ??

Are those colours you changed, or original colours?

Either way, so nice!!

I changed them through hex editing. In the process I found out that all of the stuff above those values are for handling...I made the car do an EPIC wheelie and be super fast.

With hex?? Why the hell are you… not modding DSF then?

What I mean is if you managed to do this in Driver 3, you should definitely have a try with DSF

[Fireboyd78]

DSF isn't as easy to mod as DRIV3R, lol.

To modify the color you start with for the Mustang, open Miami.bo3 and go to address 0x6F0 (just type 6F0). Change the value "FF 00 00 00 8F" to any little-endian hexidecimal color representation of your color of choice. Let's make it pink! We'll use a dark, fuschia pink, so the hex value for the pink we'll use is D800FF. But we're not done yet - we need to reverse it since it's little endian. Simple stuff, just reverse "D8 00 FF" into "FF 00 D8". Very simple concept - you reverse the bytes, so "11 22 33" becomes "33 22 11" and "12 34 56" becomes "56 34 12". Got it? Good! So "FF 00 00 00 8F" now becomes "FF FF 00 D8 8F" - we're done! Save miami.B03 and go in-game and choose the mustang, here is your reward!



Now you can change all of the colors from 0x6F0 to 0x768. I'm not sure if that last one is even a color, so just be cautious. I'll try to find all of the other cars and see if they have an ID we can reference them by. Otherwise, there's a long road ahead...

Just a note, you must quit to the main menu if you're making changes with the game running. You cannot restart the game and expect to see any changes.

Ok wait how do you find this? I mean, how did you know that THIS piece of code is the colour?

I may try with DSF… I always wanted to have a yellow El Camino

BTW — what else can you change with Hex? There's something in DSF that I've wanted to do for quite a while, it's to get more cars into multiplayer. I don't know in which files however this multiplayer menu where you load the cars is located or what it's even called. However I thought we could just replace them somehow, ya know?

Also, do you believe this Hex thing will work for PCSX2 with Driver 3, or any other game? I saw people doing this with PCSX2 I think, and I was really impressed. Maybe PS2 version contains stuff that was removed later for the PC version? Would be so interesting.

Also, can you find out the original colours that exist for all cars? Can you see if there's a red Ford GT? Or a white (police) one? That would be… the f*cking sh*t !!

Trial and error. I changed a bunch of values I thought might be colors to a bright color. First I noticed the handling was totally ****ed, then I noticed a bright pink Mustang parked! So I knew I had found colors in the last piece of code I modified. It's all about trial and error. You don't just dive into this stuff knowing what you are doing, you have to be creative and explore. Also, a member on DM found the location of the Mustang colors so major props to him.

As for hex editing more cars into multiplayer...no, not that easy. I don't have the PS2 version of DRIV3R so I don't know. And I don't know about unused colors, it's possible. I don't know where the other cars are yet. I'll let you know.

[Coyote]

Damn that's frustrating, it's the part that I hate. I mean, at least when you're starting at like zero. If you see some words or some stuff like that, then there is always some hope!

Did he post those colours somewhere?

And BTW — do you think it's possible to make a mod so Tanner doesn't get inside the car at the front, but at the back? That would be funny too

[Fireboyd78]

You have lots of ideas, don't you? And no, I found the colors through trial and error. I even told you exactly how I found them, lol.

[Coyote]

I have lots of ideas

Maybe I'll try to HEX some PS2 games sometime!

Those colors.... :Q________
Very great job man! Dammit I would be doing that for so much time, cause I have Hex Editor in Driver PC File but the problem is to install Driv3r D:

[Olanov]

Great find guys. You've done helluva job.

[Fireboyd78]

Great find guys. You've done helluva job.

It was 99% me and 1% Zmey2009. Without his post about showing how to make Mustang's white, I never would've figured out how to do this.

[Skylabh]

Little experiment

[max.thunder]

Looks cool in orange

[WhiteSnoop]

Behind the red line, I see 8F (143) which really looks like its identifying a color.
So if we can check out a freeroam mission file and see what colors are used on different cars
I know hex editing and I know allot of times you will find things by accident. But it should be possible!

[Fireboyd78]

Yes, you have a point there. Investigation time!
