Please forgive me if there is an obvious answer to this, but I've looked and can't find anything. Is there any updated tutorials detailing every step of adding a car into the game? I've followed 3 so far, and all of them have different steps, and all have failed at one point or another, so I'm wondering if there is a currently-correct, in depth tutorial that starts from 0, and covers every part of modding. (Jbeam, 3d modelling, UVs, Texturing, packaging, and such) It would be very much appreciated, thank you!
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any and I have struggled myself with this kind of stuff a lot. You have to figure everything out yourself it seems and it kinda sucks. There are separate tutorials for modeling, texturing, Jbeam, etc. But nobody will tell you how to make your model texturable or how to make it appear in game properly. There are no tutorials for these inbetween steps and also no way to check how it's done on vanilla content because you don't even know what you are looking for. There were attempts of full tutorial series but they all ended after 1 up to 3 episodes and were never finished, they only cover the most basic modeling. I guess you either contact an experienced modder for experience or figure everything out yourself by trial and error.
I tried following that one, and the problem is that the guy that is making it has only used really low-res screenshots, so its really hard to follow. That's one of the ones I tried to do.
When I get done making the B1 I plan on doing an entire video series covering pretty much every step of the process... but at the moment... I don't have time to put it together.
Oooo, please post here when you do get around to it! I'd love to follow along! --- Post updated --- The problem for me is that even the PDF doesn't have the greatest quality screenshots, plus I've tried following that one too. I followed everything he did, but when I tried to spawn it in, it doesn't appear, and if I try it again, the game crashes.
