Driver Madness

Hi
Here is a little mod i created a long time ago. It simulates blood on cars when you shoot through the windows. I have chosen the police car to make the blood clearly visible. It works also on civil vehicles.

Cool how did you do it?

@ Submaniac
It's just a graphical modification.

Another screenshots but on a civil car this time.

I found 2 car texture bugs you could try and fix:

I checked my game and I have the same bugs so i will take a look.
I colored the texture of the wheel to try to identify this bug.




Anyway, i can put my mod to download if anyone is interested.

I would be interested to see more of this, so if you want to put it on here ?

Here it is:

Hope you like it

I'm just wondering: how do you mod the textures O.O
I mean, if we could all mod the textures of the cars that would be great!

I used DXTBmp, SLConverter and a graphic software.

Cool! but i can't find DXTBmp nor SLConverter. could you send them to me by pm? (if you can or want thats alright)

This texture bug is only on the PC version.

The grill is misplaced(notice the black spot near the driver's-side headlight. It laps over the turn signal on the passenger side as a result.

@ PostalDude
Here is the Van clean and damaged textures.





You can see the graphical bug on them.

Edit: i have fixed the bug ( at least on the clean texture ).

Hey man, that`s freaking awesome. So, what do you think, will it be nice to introduce "DRIV3R Fixed mod" which fixes minor but annoying bugs like this? I think so, I`ll try to fix some things I`ve noticed.

Sweet. Sounds cool. I think that'd be a great idea.

Yeah
btw thnks for the programs imhotep. But wow it's hard to find actual texures in the files...

@ Submaniac
No problem. Yes there is a lot of files who contain textures.
Btw i forgot to mention about the clean texture, the alpha channel has also been fixed.



Also fixed the texture bug on the Fiat Panda.





Screenshots

Awesome work!
But i think that the textures lose a bit of quality after the fixes. Or maybe it's just my illusion.
(Judging by the pictures of Fiat Panda)

Oh man, this is awesome. BTW, check out the VW van in Nice, the alpha channel is messed up on it.

Texture mods like these were always easier to do, harder is to modify the UV map on the models themself, back then. I also noticed, what program do you use for editing? I noticed that your edited version is just black-white version. I`m gonna try few improvements on other cars, for example the Ford GT in Miami has problem that needs to be fixed.

@ TheOldGamer
Black-white version? What do you means ? If you're talking about the grey citroen cx and the grey fiat panda, that's because i have modified some mission files some time ago ( you can see the fiat in Miami, the first panda is grey but the second is yellow ), but the textures fixes are applied to the appropriate cars during the game.
Besides, i have fixed the colored texture and the black and white alpha texture.
Simply, a model car is duplicated with random colors as many times as necessary during the game, and most of the textures are applied symmetrically on the models.
And the software i used, it's Paint Shop Pro 9.

If somebody could miss the messed up taillights during nighttime that would be great. It annoys the hell outta me

What's wrong with the taillights ?

One is on and one is out. Every taxi, every time, every city.

anyone?

Never had that glitch, even after the Hex editing i did(which messed up the game anyway). Does it still occur after re-installing? And if you don't mind post an screenshot cause i never heard of that problem.

I'll post a screen later tonight but I do know that I have that weird Revival version of Driv3r and it doesn't even let me install retail updates without being lame. If you guys could fix it I would be happy. I also noticed that on the Mercedes in Nice the white backing up lights are always on at night and let me tell ya that looks really friggin bizarre. I'll post screen shots of everything messed up in my version in a few hours. Bout to eat dinner.
