Hello, i´d like to ask how can i resize the manufacurer vinyls like the other ones, i press the arrows, but the size stop and i can't get the size i want....
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Thanks.

That's a good question! I want know thato too.

so far... no clue

Nobody knows yet?

There's a limit for the vinyl's size.

how do you cjange the vinyl color, i cant find it, its always gray

You can't change the color of Manufacturer Vinyls or Community Vinyls. You can only make the Vinyls a certain size as well.

really? ive seen people with different colored manufacturer decals, like white falken. they need to fix that along with the issue of not having the mirror option

LOL I was playing around with Juiced 2 (out of morbid curiosity) and the car editing in that is so superior to nearly all NFS games! They really need to take stock of this since that game bombed due to some of the worst physics ever (though not as bad as the hype over it!).

just noticed AEM is colored yellow and red

oh btw, the Manufacturer Vinyls section in Polish version of game is ironically called... AEM. xDD

There are some nice coloured decals. BBS and Bilstein, for example. I might post a list of all coloured decals, if anyone wants.

i sure do

Juiced 2 also had a lot of glitches with the tuning, not many basic shapes so you could only use the themed stuff they gave you in particular colours, and you'd get much better layouts from prostreet. I gave up with the juiced system because there were too many glitches, panel gaps and you couldn't blend everything together.

The SHIFT manufacturer vinyls are stupid though, the devs can paint and resize them... why can't we? I'm sure they used photoshop and instead made textures. XD Texmod time?

you can get past alot glitches in tuning in juiced 2(vinyl-side) , like, i tried to make a 2f2f skyline replica, did the stripes on sides and through a glitch a BIG BLURRY NONSHAPEY field of blue ness appeared on the trunk/rear bumper , so i made a big white square on the rear section so it covered blueness, THEN put on the necessary vinyls on it(fixed it 100% )

juicede 2 wasnt thyat good though, at least i diddn't like it.

anyways, i sent an eamail to ea and they sent me one of those stupid responses. really long email, if you guys wann kno what i said, ask and i shall post

LOL I never said Juiced 2 was good (in fact it was a million steps backwards over the original Juiced) just that the concept of the car modding in it was far better realised than most NFS games. ProStreet was ok, but there were huge glaring errors that marred the experience, like the generic stretched/warped chickenwire texture over any vent/opening. The bits missing for certain DLC cars, and broken crashing if you tried to modify the CCX.

@Zotic+ would be interested to see what you said and what the response was

sorry for not responding soon here it is...
mine:
Hello,
I have recently purchased Need for Speed Shift on the PS3 and when I am customizing my vinyls I do not have the option to mirror my vinyls so when I make a very detailed design on one side, i have to perfectly match it on the other side to get it to match and this is vary frustrating and a game is for enjoying not to be frustrated. I have noticed on all the NFS forums that everyone has the same problem and is waiting for a patch. My main question is will there be a small patch to fix this and how soon? this is a very minor fix witch makes a very major problem to players. Also I know it wouldnt be hard at all to embed the mirror into the game. I also would like to know why all manufacturer decals appear small and grey and can not be made larger or can not change the color. If this also a bug in the game please EA include this in the next patch and release it as soon as possible. I've been a NFS fan since 2001 and am very disappointed by this minor flaw and so are many other NFS fans and normal gamers. This minor flaw could make the decision for someone to buy either NFS Shift or Forza Motorsport 3 or DiRT2. So if you care for your clientel and want make more customers, Fix this little problem please and will make the game 20% better then it is. Thank You for your time and the great NFS franchise

I was thinkin of making these my business letter project for my english class lol

i kinda knew they would answer: Its not a technical support related question, so, go and find help somewhere else. come back when your game stops working. thats kinda what i got when i was trying to find out what happened with my Most Wanted cd-key-ea-account-combo.
anyway, other than mirroring the vinyls, we need the ability to size the manufacturer vinyls a bit more, and atleast make a simple choice like in other nfs games, black or white manufacturer vinyls, not 5-10 of them with colors and the rest is just left gray. Anyway, whatever happens, expect help only from the team that actually made NFS Shift, not from EA. Unless the help you need is to bring yourself into a bad mood.

Sent it to SMS....

if any answer is to be expected, its from SMS. hope they answer soon.

sup everyone the resizeing of the manufacturering Vinyls can be done, i have done it by opening the paintshop.bff file and extracting the assets.xml file where u can choose which level u receive the vinyls and how they act... for example

Normal :

- <Group Id="28" TextId="460002" DefaultOptions="monoSticker" AssetType="1">
<Asset Id="2811" TextId="340011" Graphics="aem\sticker011" AssetType="1" Width="0.4" Height="0.2" UseShapeRenderMode="0" MinProfileLevel="0" />


Modded:

<Group Id="28" TextId="460002" DefaultOptions="ColrSticker" AssetType="0">
<Asset Id="2811" TextId="340011" Graphics="aem\sticker011" AssetType="0" Width="0.4" Height="0.2" UseShapeRenderMode="0" MinProfileLevel="0" />

least that is all i had to do.... just go down the chart where its assettype=1 change em to 0 and i change the default option aswell.......
just use the bff tools i used the bff injector to inject the new assests.xlm file back into the bff file since my game is not unpack....


Now asfar as coloring goes in the same paintshop.bff file i extracted all the aem folder to change the dds files from grey to white which took awhile at one by one process because those dds files are unlike the normal vinyls.. they pretty much just gave em a alpha layer and called it a day... they r low res (really) so when ur in the game and u start to stretch out the manufacturer vinyls they tend to get kinda blur and really bad shape to em.... certain ones look better than others, but i hope this helps u out on where to look for em and edit em. peace

That response from EA peeves me off...to be expected though.
