This was meant for release in 6.0, i.e. private material turned public. As some people have discovered it we figured that we should release it now, before the truth becomes twisted, the first person to discover this was at GTA IV Modding Russia: http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://www.gtamodding.ru/&ei=I99jTtGXNMeBhQf4-92uCg&sa=X&oi=translate&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCAQ7gEwAA&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dgta%2Bmodding%2Bru%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3Drve%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26biw%3D1366%26bih%3D664%26prmd%3Divns (English translation) therefore the person deserving of credit is Solom of GTA Modding RU (person who added the information about car colours into the page).

The little gem in that page is this (which documents the names of each column for the stream section/parked car section for the XPL):
Code:
Size: 56 bytes
4b - FLOAT - X
4b - FLOAT - Y
4b - FLOAT - Z
4b - FLOAT - Unknown
4b - FLOAT - Rotation
4b - FLOAT - Rotation
4b - UINT32 - Model name hash
4b - INT32 - Car color 1
4b - INT32 - Car color 2
4b - INT32 - Car color 3
4b - INT32 - Specular color
4b - INT32 - Flags
4b - INT32 - Alarm
4b - INT32 - Unknown
Take note of the "Car color 1", "Car color 2", "Car color 3" and "Specular color" column names.

What does this translate to?
It means while using the Dageron placement editor, the following columns in the stream section are of great interest:
colorsz.png

They follow in order: Car color 1, Car color 2, Car color 3, Specular color.

They are usually set to -1 but changing them should make the specified vehicle always spawn with a specific colour.

How do they work?
  • A -1 value means a random selection of colour.
  • Any other values mean a specific colour index as defined in carcols.dat.
  • All values 1, 2, 3 and the specular must either all be random or have proper colour indexes, you can not have one random and one as a proper index at the same time.

So we do this while map modding and we only get 3 colors?
You have misunderstood, in the stream section there is four columns, unknown 8, 9, 10, 11, they all represent a specific colour, as named: colour 1, colour 2, colour 3, specular. You can assign each car these values.

means the car you spawn can have 1 color, if I'm right on this.

say you want your chopper to be white, you just put a white color in the slots cathering has said like...

this is to get white.
color1:255 color2:255 color3:255

Hope that is right.
Incorrect, it would be: 133, 133, 133 (I believe you may skip the third colour if the vehicle does not have a third colour), 133 to get full white.

If you want a white annihilator then put 133,133,133,0. Always keep the 4th 0 even if it's not use, just to be safe. Look at the carcols.dat colors for colors you want to use, that everyone can see.

This is great, but how would we go about making them have multiple colours because by the looks of what you said means if we put certain numbers is it will only spawn that colour, or a certain number so it makes it read the carcols.dat. how would we go about making it spawns a good set of custom colours?

You have misunderstood, in the stream section there is four columns, unknown 8, 9, 10, 11, they all represent a specific colour, as named: colour 1, colour 2, colour 3, specular. You can assign each car these values.

You will have to spawn lots of different spawns and make them each a unique colour, there is no way around this.
