You would basically make have 1 3D object for each different car model but have multiple texture maps that can be applied to each. And your "editor" would simply swap the texture to change the car's colors and decals or whatever. I'm assuming that's what you meant.

ok for the texture its perfect but for the car, if a do a 3D model for each possible mix, my game will be so big, im more think at a separate part: wheel.x , bumper.x, etc and just change the size and thexture of all object and assamble the car after with all this peaces.

here, is the code that i use to load my car :
NewtonVehicle("Bmw6",3.5, 1.2,1.2,5.35,4.45,-0.2,2.7, 0.98,0.5,0.2,1000.0)

I will need to know hox to modify this code to load separate part and make a car with this part.

i think i can do a small car modify by making the size of all object in variable and modify all this variable in a menu but i dont know how to do menu. ex:
load "Bwheels.x",1
scale object 1,my variable
my variable = 1,2,5,5

and make the menu to change this variable

can somebody help me?

ps: i have upload the car model to help you understand how this code is working.


thanks

That's what you'll have to do, however not for each car combination.

Each body panel of each of your cars needs to be a separate object. Each aftermarket part also needs to be a separate object.
you'll then need to create a special loading routine for your car to load the base object (the body) then add to it the bumpers, bonnet, doors, boot, side skirts, wheels, tyres and spoilers. If your smart, you can even joint them to the car body so they can fall off when hit with a certain velocity.

It'll be your game, you decide how to do it!

So read the newcomers forums! Do a forum search, there are many many examples of menus on this site, I myself have even created a simple button example freely available in the codebase! Use it!
