Editing
We've tried to make this vehicle as bullet-proof as possible, but given it's modifable nature, there might be certain cases in which it will fail to perform properly after being modified unprofessionally. Such cases are eligible for receiving customer support at our discretion.
IMPORTANT:
Please turn "EDIT MODE" on before any modifying that isn't reflected in vehicle's "Customize..." menu.
EDIT MODE can be turned on and off in the main menu (just click the vehicle).
Additional prims
Additional prims can be attached to vehicle's doors trunk and bonnet. They can have any rotation, position, and size. You can attach any number of prims(within sane limits).
Add ADDON_DOOR_FL, ADDON_DOOR_FR, ADDON_DOOR_RL, ADDON_DOOR_RR, ADDON_TRUNK and ADDON_BONNET to prims descriptions to make them move with corresponding element. You still can use your addon prims descriptions to store additional data, just make sure that ADDON_* identifiers are placed first, I.E. ADDON_DOOR_FL LIGHT|SIDE|<1,,1,1>1.
Custom wheels
You can replace the wheels with custom ones, as long as they are 1 prim each and regardless of their rotation, and without having to change any numbers.
How to:
1 - Set your car straight.
2 - Enable "Edit mode" via vehicle menu.
3 - Unlink current wheels and link yours.
4 - Set correct descriptions on your wheels (WHEEL_FL, WHEEL_FR, WHEEL_RL, WHEEL_RR)
5 - Turn off "Edit mode". It's done.
Wheel camber
- Camber setting gets reset to zero when enabling the "Edit mode". Make sure you only use the menu options to adjust camber. Adjusting it manually will result in unexpected results.
- Edit mode and all the car rotation steps can be skipped if you're sure you can set wheels straight on your own.
- If you're planning to skip the Edit mode when editing the wheels, make sure the camber on new wheels matches the old ones.
Global Mod Link System (GMLS)
The Stella has NTBI's GMLS system built in. This makes attaching addons easy. Read more about GMLS and how to use it here.
