Car Editor Help

[intrepid31]

Ok, so i need a little with car editor; So i have done a build in car editor and saved it but when i reload the config file the car is not like it was when i saved it and it matter if i quit the game and reload. Most of the changes are there but like the removed hood, the removed mirrors, the selected headlight and taillights are not staying. I have gone into the config and made the noted changes as was suggested in the videos that i have watched but still no luck in getting the car to stay the way i want.

If some one could help me out that would be great.

So... in car editor, you select the car... it loads the base model. Then you use the drop down list and select the sub-model you want to edit. If you did the configs properly, you should have a new sub-model which you would be doing the edits to... not the original car. Also, if you save your changes and then load a different car then reload the car you worked on, it reloads the base model. You have to re-select the sub-model again.

Now, for the different lights / hoods / fenders / etc... options, that is not done in car editor. Car Editor has a 'Tuning' section but, that is just for viewing what it would look like if it was equipped with those. It doesn't save it that way. This is because those changes are done in the 'bodyconfig.txt' file and not the car's 'config.txt' file--which is what Car Editor is modifying. So, you need to open the appropriate 'bodyconfig' file for the model in question. Then you can add the lines into the [tuning] section of the file and save the changes. Then your new sub-model will load into Car Editor with those options selected for the vehicle.

Edit:
Here's an example of a bodyconfig file which changes which parts are used;
[tuning]
hood=hood2
bumper_front=bumper_front2
bumper_rear=bumper_rear2
headlight_right=headlight_right2
headlight_left=headlight_left2
taillight_right=taillight_right2
taillight_left=taillight_left2

First off thank for your reply
So if i understand you correctly the change that i have made to the body will not show in the editor, but as long as i have made the changes to the "tuning" section of the "Bodyconfig.txt" file those change will appear on the car in the game

[Mardoin69]

Yes.

Great, thanks for the help.

BTW you don't happen to have the OE config.txt file from the salemflamo some how i messed mine up and have misplaced the back up i made.

[Mardoin69]

You could open the game properties in steam, go to the 'local files' tab and do the 'verify files' option. This would reset all game cars to their default configs while leaving any extra configs you created the way they are. But, I'll post it... just a sec.

Edit: Here's base model Salem Flamo 'config.txt' file contents...
