Hey. I am still quite new to modeling and 'yall are right, it's frustrating. I am using Tim98's unlocked DSF CVPI and am trying to do differnet renditinos of non-els lights and misc parts, but when I export the car (after fixing my extras_5 error, The car appears in Open IV with the wheels inside the center of the car. In game, the whole car acts as one giant wheel with the screen freaking out. What am I doing wrong here? If it sounds like I forgot something when exporting, I have the model exporting as a .wft with .png extension with collision, store textures and sliced checked.

Make sure the name of your car named in zmodeler is the same as the one you are replacing. Also export the car without anything checked and it should work.

It will not export if nothing is checked. The windows are all greyed out unless I ad the vehshare textures to the car in OpenIV and the wheel is still inside the car. Is it the lightbar that is causing this? I have one that worked fine with an MX7000 and a CVPI grille guard.

No not uncheck in the hierarchy, when you export make sure sliced and collision is unchecked. 

Fixed the windows being grey, but now I can't find the tire in the vehicle hirachy. It states that it's attached to chassis_L0 with the police computer which I also want to get rid of. How can I delete and replace the wheels from chassis_L0 if there are no _extras in the vehicle hierarchy?

The tire should not be attached to the chassis. Also you would have to go into polygon mode and select the laptop and delete it.

Okay. I fixed the problems. I had corrupted the base CVPI model from earlier work. It works fine now. Sorry for the confusion. The only thing left now is trying to remove that darned police computer and adding PFCBAREFOOTS console. Will the .dds extensions cause any conflicts with the rest being .png?

I would put the dds in paint or something and then just save them as a png. Do that to all the textures that come with the console so it doesn't mess anything up.
