Here is a rough preview. It's not even a months worth of progress. [Clickety Click]

I have a rough understanding of 3D concepts due to school and OG help from Nobby on teaching me basic concepts back in the day. I'm learning something new every time I work on the mod

I'm a beta tester as well. In addition to beta testing I'm making my first car mod. An Acura Integra Type R with a JDM front end conversion (what I drive in irl haha)

So I was messing with my STI files on HxD and I selected a Huge chunk of bytes like all the way from the top to the bottom and I saw that there was an option to fill the selection with random bytes and i'm so happy I did that because not only did I get a unique paint job but it's also 3-tone!

Hey, there's me

Also, make note that on consoles this is CLIENT-SIDE ONLY. Server-side, this mod is invisible on Bikes. The server defaults the color red, but the original client can still see it.
For PAINTABLE cars, it is SERVER-SIDE + CLIENT-SIDE.

After looking over a bit of my old topics on this forum and another i've decided to jump back into the chase to deconstruct the STI. file. In the very beginning of every STI. file there is a "BD2.PAMB" which when you flip it says "2DB.BMAP" so that means this is just a gigantic texture. (I kinda already knew that because of the templates for PC) In essence the file is a specially encrypted texture. Spewfr if your reading this THIS WILL BE OUR BIGGEST PROJECT YET!

That's pretty cool, right now I'm finishing up a small program, custom-image to ps3-encrypted-image. It'll do all of the hex stuff for you. Writing QuickBMS is fast and fun
