Title: Car Color Palette Update
Post by: Rubber on December 20, 2010, 04:50
Hey guys I have been working on a new carcols file in hopes that the whole server could use this file. I know some people have updated their carcols files themselves to get new colors. If we all use this file, we can all see the same colors. I have replaced the colors from 10 to 49 with my own custom colors in order of a color wheel. These can be changed around a little if needed. Attached is my updated palette so far. Let me know if you have any custom colors you want me to add. Tell me by color id (ex; 149,23,57).

-Rubber

EDIT: attached below is the carcol zipped folder (dont get the jpg, thats just a preview for the new colors). Place the carcols.dat file in your gta folder under data. Make sure to make a backup copy of the original file also. Good luck.

Also attached is some preview screenshots of a few of the colors in case you want to see them before trying them. Hope you like it!

[EDIT AGAIN] there is a new carcols file that I just released...I suggest using the new ones, but you are free to use this old file if you wish.

[/size]The new ones can be found here http://www.forum.convoytrucking.net/index.php/topic,4839.0.html

Hey max could you look in your carcols file and tell me in RGB notation. For example [125,225,0]  for each color you listed. The carcols file that i have only goes up to color 126 so i cant see which colors you are talking about. Ill get it updated quickly if you could do that.

Ok guys here is my updated carcols file. Put the file in your gta folder under data. Make sure to make a backup copy of the original carcols file before pasting the new one there. I only have colors 10 thru 49 working at the moment. Refer to the image above for a color id sheet. For some reason, when you are in game and type /spraycolor (#) it will not say what color it is, so just trust my color sheet above. I  like /spraycolor 0 22 combination with my new carcols file. I hope everyone on the server will start to use this so we can all see the updated colors. I may upload an updated file later if anyone has another color they want me to add for them.

Those colors won't be in that file, you need to use doppper' to get the color from a graphic file.

Let me know when you come up with final, official version.

But if people tell me the RGB id of the color they want, i can replace another color in the carcols file so they will get their color in the updated version. As far as the green boat goes, can you change the server carcols so the default color for the Tropic will use colorid 44 instead of 26? My 44 is close to the old 26. The only reason i replaced all the colors is so that the new colors would be in order (red, orange, yellow, blue...). And I checked the default colors for vehicles and they appear to be all used, so there really is no way around this unless we can change the default colors somehow...

Keep up the good work dude!

Just one tip, the preview picture, save it as .PNG, not .JPG, when saved as .PNG, you don't get the blurryness and the colors stay quality.

try to just open the downloaded file as a zipped folder instead of using winrar. then copy and paste the carcols DAT file into the data folder instead of deleting the old one. Try replacing it in all the game directories you have. It sounds like the game is still finding the original file somehow.

no, you have to go to a transfender and use the paint jobs colors in order to see them.. they wont show up if you use /spray

I dont think /spray works with the custom colors

No, /spraycolor is a serverside command that shows only default GTA colors. Color palette is client side.
Title: Re: Car Color Palette Update
Post by: R16RACA on December 27, 2011, 00:29
technically they will, just all the color labels from /color don't match up
