Antilli Beta Released!

After months without a public beta, the moment has finally come! I've been hyping about model importing for quite some time now, but that time has yet to come. This is something that will be included in (hopefully) the next release.
For now, Antilli serves as a sexy model viewer and texture replacement tool! Yes, this means you can import high-resolution textures into DRIV3R now! Let the modding begin!
Get it exclusively from Driver Madness
HERE! Be sure to read the description/extra information before using this powerful tool!
Enjoy!

Thanks! Awesome! I'm definitely downloading this version! By the way, what about exporting damaged car/object models as an OBJ?

Unless any critical bugs are found, this will be included in the next release. I'm working on a .OBJ importer/exporter at the moment, hopefully it won't be long!

Ah, sounds great! No matter what I can't wait for the result!
I'm extremely patient now especially because I've been waiting six years for a strong computer and it's starting to look like seven... Reason is, now that I'm getting a $5 decrease from my allowance each month, It's increasingly difficult to get $45 for a PSU for the dell I'm selling.

The .OBJ importer is coming along nicely! All I need to do now is read materials and finalize my ModelPackage XML format
"ModelPackage XML format??"
Oh, right. A few days before my falling-out with the .OBJ format, I created a conceptual "ModelPackage XML" that loosely resembles the actual ModelPackage format itself. To get a better idea of how this would work, I created an exporter which looks something like this:
Code: Select all<ModelPackage Type="VVS" Version="1">

That would be the Dodge Challenger in Miami if it were an XML file. I haven't decided on the format of materials yet, but I did write a snippet of what I
think it should be by hand:
Code: Select all<Materials>
<MaterialGroup Name="mat_01">
<Material Name="wheel01">
<SubMaterial Type="Wheel" Flags="1030" AlphaSpecular="1" TextureFile="wheel01_1.dds" />
<SubMaterial Type="Wheel" Flags="1030" AlphaSpecular="1" TextureFile="wheel01_2.dds" />
<SubMaterial Type="Wheel" Flags="1030" AlphaSpecular="1" TextureFile="wheel01_3.dds" />
<SubMaterial Type="Wheel" Flags="1030" AlphaSpecular="1" TextureFile="wheel01_4.dds" />
</Material>
<Material Name="body01">
<SubMaterial Type="ColorMaskDamage" Flags="5126" AlphaSpecular="1" Texture="body01" />
</Material>
<Material Name="body02">
<SubMaterial Type="ColorMaskDamage" Flags="5126" AlphaSpecular="1" Texture="body02" />
</Material>
</MaterialGroup>
</Materials>
<Textures>
<TextureGroup Name="body01">
<Texture File="body_clean.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_clean_mask.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_damaged.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_damaged_mask.dds"/>
</TextureGroup>
<TextureGroup Name="body02">
<Texture File="body_clean.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_clean_mask.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_damaged.dds"/>
<Texture File="body_damaged_mask.dds"/>
</TextureGroup>
</Textures>
If anyone has suggestions for how model importing should work, I'm all ears. If I like your idea(s), I might implement them!

Oooo, fast progress! Importing already?! Nice! And for model importing it seems our own textures are compatable?

I guess he means custom or new textures.

Skylabh answered my question.
Holy s^#t! That's soo sexy! Later today (Because I just freggin woke up) I'm going to do something awesome with all the cars!
Once again, I can't believe we have gone this far already with DRIV3R mods, I would say this is the most serious and advanced mod for DRIV3R yet!
And I think I have a little experiment to show you guys..

There is the extra information tab on the download.

Texture resized at 512 x 1024, as mentioned on skype. Otherwise the grill's texture would be reduced in size with a loss of quality. And this is only a part of the van's texture.

Nevermind my last post, I think I figured it out, but when I import a new texture Antilli crashes. But I'm pretty sure that's because I'm rendering an animation in the background and it's eating up my CPU and making everything else slow and choppy.

AAHHA! It's sucky that I just crash. I edit a DRIV3R texture with MS Paint, then convert it to DDS and attempt to use it in Antilli. When I click replace, and click the texture I want, it crashes.

You must keep the same dxt format and keep a power of 2 for the texture . Maybe it's the problem.

Renaming a file is not converting it.
You need to save DDS textures as either DXT1/DXT3/DXT5 and keep the size as a power of 2. Here are some examples:
- 64 x 64
- 64 x 128
- 128 x 256
- 256 X 256
- etc..
The supported sizes are 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024 and 2048. And for the love of god, please don't use MS Paint to make texture mods!
