Forza Motorsport Resource Extraction (.carbin)

[yoda]

energien : i know the fast that forza studio can't export directly the 3d models for every kind of game.i know the way for put forza models on others games and we need the import of lod 1, lod 2 etc etc etc like you made with/for the forza 3 game.
so ,the question is : the last release of forza studio alpha can import all the lods of forza 4 , or only the lod 0 ??

Oh ffs why dont you just try it ? Yes, every LOD works now ! Every mapping is fine ! Everything is good now ! Yay !


About digital gauge: These are unmapped blank spaces where the game draws - you guessed it - the digital gauge. Ernegien cant fix anything about that because the space isnt mapped in the first place. Solution: Make your own texture and map it for the blank space (btw this was exactly the same in forza 3 ...)


I've tested the last forza studio release thoroughly, and everything seems to be fine. Every LODX, cockpit, wheels (except lod1-5), calipers, discs, everything exports and is mapped just fine. You rock Ernegien !

@MMWsmokey
Thank you. That was the information i was hoping for. So i will make these textures myself. Thx for your answer and understanding my problem!!

Was there an error.txt file created in the directory you ran the application from? If you could paste that here it would be much appreciated...

No sir. Nothing was generated in the folder where the application and DLLs are stored.

Nix that. I made a post asking a bunch of questions but I think I'll just see how far I can get first. Thanks for the tools!

I would like to thank energien for the hard work he has done to make this app, both for FM3 and for FM4.

Small question - where can I find the brake caliper textures (if they have separate textures)? I have looked in the shared.zip but they don't appear to be there.


Thank you.

Thank you.

Mostly they are stored in "Nodamage.xds" same texture as car uses it.

Hmm OK thanks. The car I'm trying to find them for (1980 Lotus Esprit Turbo) must have black ones then, they come out black when I use the nodamage.xds texture. Doesn't really matter anyway as you can't see them behind the wheels anyway.

[matt55]

If You got some problems with recognize them just search in Google images ( I mean the car name), and see how they looks in Forza game, if they got different color than black, then try with other texture.
Good luck with your mod.

Hi, as i see u've managed to get Forza tool even more greater!
Btw, does the latest version also supports tracks/circuits from Forza4? Or could u please fix some Forza3 tracks properly ( what i mean is that models aren't correct when importing to max, where are many poly's like on rock surfaces are pretty messed up aswell as roads and fences some of them missing - ( Fujimi Kaido and Amalfi GP have those problems alot, other not mutch but still have few of them bugs )
Anyway nice to see that u've able being updating your tool Emergien

EDIT: http://www.gta4-mods.com/misc/maple-val ... -on-f12998
here is Maple Valley converted to IV with my own twist on it, this track was the simplest of them all i guess
