Zmodeler - Quadraflare help.

[thomash131]

Hey Guys, I've created myself a crownvic with a whelen liberty and a rambar.
I've found the QuadraFlare pack over here and wish to add some to the rambar of my car. In the readme it says the following.

Installation Instructions:

1. Import given textures into zmodeler
2. Import one of the given models (may be in .3ds or .wft format)
3. Move to the place the model will be ingame

4a. Copy if needed (the part named extra_# must also be copied for the model to light up)
4b. remap the light glass (no instructions included)

5. Rename or Attach the "extra_#" to an ELS light or to "extra_1-9"
6. Place under Chassis_L1 or Chassis_L2 (if applicable)

I've done exactly as it says, however I'm stuck on step 5. The Quadraflare model consists of the light itself (misc_c) and a dummy (extra_#) which is a child of misc_c, however because it is a dummy, I can't attach it to my existing Extra_1 or Extra_4. If I attempt to rename the dummy to those, I get the duplicate error when I export.

Does anyone know how I'm supposed to install these? Thanks Guys.

rename the quadflare extra's to the desired number and add a 1 at the end (example: extra_1_L01 and extra_1_L11) that way you know what one is what. next drag and drop the L01 and L11 in the lightbar with corresponding extra_#, next hit modify>attach(click the little box next to it)>attach multiple) then select the main lightbar extra L0 then select the L01 and repeat for other lights.

Thanks for your help. I did what you said, but the Quadraflare dummy doesn't show in the list of nodes to select..... Any ideas?

Thanks again,

The extra dummies from the quad flare aren't needed when you combine the two lights into one. If you need any more help PM me and we can set up a TeamViewer session.

This is wrong section, Tom. Its GTA:IV Knowledge Base where tips and tricks are to be introduced. You shoulda post this in Support section.
