How to make costum parts slots/multipe plarts slots

I want to convert a car from slrr, and i need to know how to make slots for parts like carpet. also, how to make costum part slot?

 

still looking for a answer =/

halp

 

I think @crashmaster would be able to help you, as the Prasu he made was/is an SLRR mod

 

As was the SunStrip.

I tried my hand at converting the CoupeSport and Nonus a while ago (a year and a half ago!) but those were fruitless I-Series meshslaps.

 

If you are relatively new to modding id recommend going thru a few of those pages.

While still old, its still all the information about how vehicles are made.

This is where they talk about slots specifically.

Slots are easy, you have a completely different car that should not conflict with any official vehicle so you can just add slots.
for an example, ill use the duhen.

Those are a bunch of different slots for the parts of the duhen, from the Bubblehen_body.jbeam (thats the other weird bubble ish thing i made with the duhen...)
If i wanted to add carpet to it id simply do this.

Code:

        ["duhen_carpet","duhen_carpet", "Carpet"],

Basically the 1st one in between brackets "duhen_carpet" is the name you give to the slot itself.
The 2nd one would be the name of the part you want it to inset by default when loading the car.
If you have 3 different kinds of carpet, for different configs you would probably have "duhen_carpet_2" and "duhen_carpet_customspeakermod" or whatever you want to make. its up to you really to name them.
and the 3rd one is just the description of the part you want in the part selector.

Hope this was helpful enough to get you started.
Good luck.

 

does this apply to multiple bumpers, fenders and bodies?

 

Yes
You can have basically infinite number of different parts for the slots, you just have to make sure they are all named properly and doesnt interfere with any other part names.
You can also have slots inside slots. thats how you have a transmission inside the engine, and the engine inside the body if its not in a sub-body like the barstow.

Just make sure not to name them the same, you will soon find out the infinity loop if you do that....
(if you end up doing it, trust me ull know what i mean )
