Change Color of String Object

[Yeek]

Hi there,

Could someone point me a link on how to change the color of a string object? In particular, I want to make the default white tyre walls into red and white alternating colors.

many thanks,

Yeek

I believe there are various coloured tires in the 'Ennis Extras' X-Pack.
Check Piddy's videos for instructions on how to change the Sobject properties.
Bob's Track Builder - Videos

Also, search for SObjects, or String Objects on YouTube..

Cheers,
Mark

Sobjects are treated as a object like any other.

You only need to click on materials button (that kerb in BTB interface) and replace tyres textures by any you like. The BTB interface will update all Sobjects immediately.

Of course, you must have the new textures before do that.

Thanks!

Thanks guys, am now looking at the vids for more info. 1 thing though, my Ennis Extras brought into BTB does not seem to show up in my object list ??? Hang on....are the Ennis Extras not objects but just textures only?

Satangoss, I found the Edit Materials button on the top of the interface of BTB, the 5th one from the right, next to the Sun icon. Is it what you were referring to? I can't seem to find heads or tails on how to use it. What do I do to change the tires' texture and save it as Red Tires so that I can use it as 1 one 2 tire objects in Sobject (alternating White Tires with Red Tires Objects)? Thanks!

Help!!

Yeek, could you solve it?

I'm refering to this button:

You only need to open "Default" tree, walls-> tire, and click on the default texture.

It will be able you to click on "load" and replace that white texture for whatever you like. Remember that tire wall are made by two textures. You need to change the colors of both in Photoshop (or another one similar), save as DDS and load into BTB.

Change texture

Hi there,

Yes I managed to edit the textures and replaced the plain old white tires to alternating white and red tires

I discovered that if I pointed to a texture saved under a different name from the original "white1_side.dds", I get a:

"Object reference not set to an instance of an object" error in BTB.

No choice, I had to make a copy of the "default" xpack, renamed it as "redwhitetires" and kept the texture name of the tires to "white1_side.dds"

Once again many thanks for the assistance
