Hey mate,

i'm not too surre myself how to do so, i think its somehing to do with DDS files. Anyway thought i would reply as no one else has...

[Albe89]

Yes, its something to do with DDS files but not at all. I put the file as the original cars adapted at my car but there aren't rain on the screen. Then I noticed that the rainscreen.gmt file are a bit different from Windows.gmt, and I don't know how to create the .gmt file with that features.

Do you have 3dsimed? It makes this a lot easier. You can reuse your windshield for the rainscreen, but you have to rename the material (i think it's "rain_anim", and assign the (i think) 9 rain textures for the animation to work.
.Then you have to rescale the tex so it will show the raindrops at the appropriate size.

If you want i can have a look at it.

Ok, I'll do so. Thank's for help.

Well, I tryed to do how you said to me but this is the problem: now there is rain on the screen but outside and I have some problem to resize the texture.
This picture show how the rain is seen on the screen.

Well, I solved the problem. I took an original rainscreen.gmt. I resize it with 3dsimed and put it behind the window of the car. After I put into .cas file this string:
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> Instance=RAINSCREEN
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> {
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> Moveable=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> MeshFile=<name of the car>_RAINSCREEN.GMT CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(2.0)
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> }
and the rainscreen works. This picture show how it works on my car.
Thank's a lot for all the help you gave me! ;) :up::up:

@euanmilne: Search here under downloads\gtr2\misc, you will find a little thread/download for this theme!

[zand]

Sorry, but where exactly do I find the thread in downloads\gtr2\misc?

What I need to know is how to change the side of the texture in a windshield, without having to remap.

Thank you.
