hi is there a way to change the color of skid marks
i think there is
i think that is in the grx file
but i am not sure
so...can u change the color of skid marks?
thx
i would appreciare it

I think the skid marks are vertex shaded by the game engine to make different colors on different surfaces. So changing the colors wouldn't be possible without reprogramming the game engine.

Surface properties added with rvGlue can change skid mark colors.
Shades of grey and green, brown, or no skid marks at all.
Of course they will have other surface properties grass, mud, slippery
and bumpy, etc.

how do i use rvglue?

Can you change the shape of the skid marks?
Is the basic graphic mapped to a bmp?

They're in shadows.bmp/bmq (I think that's the file name. Whichever file has all the default car shadows in it.)

The shadows.bmp adds the shadows of the car body, not the skid
marks. The skid marks are surface properties and are found
in the track's .ncp file.

Thank you for assuming that I'm an idiot who has no idea what he's talking about. I love it when people do that.

The last shadow in shadows.bmp is the tread marks. You can change the color if you'd like, just keep in mind that shadows.bmp is a negative image. So if you use red, it'll show up cyan, and vice versa. Just make sure you modify shadows.bmq as well. This isn't to say that the surface properties don't modify the tread marks beyond that.

Aeon, you stated that about perfect.
It's just in the games nature, that I assumed that EVERYTHING was mapped to a bmp
(besides vertex shaded prms)

This is Re-volt Cars section. I assumed you wanted to change the
skid marks of a custom car. Modifing a Revolt default BMP
is a different matter.
