Color Problem with Car Editor

Post by Apassi »

I'm making a new car. But when I finished the model, I noticed that the game will change the car's every window color at light green and violet. How do I fix this problem? Window's color is normally light blue (141).

Always use color numbers, after which the next two are the same color. So if you use 141 for blue, 142 and 143 should be blue too (which aren't as I assume, didn't check in the CE).

You've set the color value too high. You need to put it 2 colors down so it'll display light blue. Here, imagine this as a palette:

The GR Car Palette uses the next 2 colours for shading, so by choosing cyan you will also use the purple and pink. In order for it to look blue all over, you need to use a darker blue.
Look to the left ----------------> that's to the right, mate :(

I can tell you want purple as your colour, so there IS a trick to making this work:

1: Reverse the body (go into poly mode, not the default mode, and click on one of the A/B or 1/2 buttons, whichever it is, to flip the body)
2: Go onto lighting mode and normalize it
3: Return the body to normal using the same button as you flipped it with, but do NOT renormalize it.

That should work.
