Car files and formats
From VDrift
The printable version is no longer supported and may have rendering errors. Please update your browser bookmarks and please use the default browser print function instead.
Note: Recent VDrift releases (2012) do not rely on a fixed set of geometry files(JOE) and textures(PNG/DDS). Instead car geometry/textures are set in the CARNAME.car file. See car parameters for details. |
Files within a car's folder:
- CARNAME.car: Configfile_format, list of car parameters.
- about.txt: text format, first line contains the car name, other lines contain additional info.
- body.joe: JOE format, car body geometry.
- body00.png: PNG format, the body.joe UV texture. Additional body textures and colors can be placed in the folder using names body01.png, body02.png, etc.
- brake.png: PNG format, an additive texture using the body.joe UV texture containing brake lights.
