e-cobra's vehicles

That 'axle on Y axis' idea didn't work, because it shifted center of gravity of the vehicle too back. That car did wheelie when accelerated and it was hard to turn.

Anyone may think that the bus project is abandoned or is on hold for infinity, but its not! I was bored so I thought of putting it in MM2, even though it isn't complete.

Here, here and here are three edited screenshots,lol.

And it won't be as light as a feather. First time, game crashed because of textures, then as I deleted all of 'em, it worked. I then added textures one by one and, ......
Next update soon.

Another update

The way I was doing this, it'll never get complete... So, now I'm doing things a bit faster.
Progress so far:
Sounds: WIP
3D model: WIP
Showcase and dashboard: Completed
Tuning: Completed (unique and realistic)
Some screenshots:
Interior so far: Currently doing texturing and making it look like a bus.

Front view:

The pic says it all:

The interiors are looking so nice, keep up the work with them.

If you want, show the dashboard.
When you do the total polygons count, it has to be only of the bus model, so BODY object plus wheels, and the possible breakable and fender objects.

Modeling and interior is done and I was testing this bus's dashboard on some other vehicle, but there's a problem. It looks white. Textures are 32 bit TGA, without RLE compression. When I import the .pkg in Zmodeler, textures look as they should

but not in MM2! And yes, all textures are in the texture folder. Anyone knows what could be wrong?

dont use RLE compression

sorry, i read it wrong

Postby **Franch88** » Mon Sep 03, 2012 10:20 pm

Ettieapple, he said to already don't use the RLE compression... and however, when it's used, the texture looks linka disturbed and with transparencies, not totally white.
The reasons can be various, from the file name with particular characters to the missing matching between the names of the textures files and how they're written in the .pkg file, but this isn't the case. Would be good let check to someone the files, give them in a PM.

Would be good see some images of the finished bus model and 3D interior.

Now animations are working!

Dashboard object as well as body both include wipers, so that wipers are seen from dashboard as well as other views.

Very good, and seems that you've solved that dashboard textures showing problem (surely it was a silly thing). Now it's time to show the first in-game screenshtos of this nice bus of yours.

Nice work

I should now show in-game screenshots, but here's a little from Zmodeler:

3D LED indicator, animated. Front indicator is done, just not visible due to texture. And yes, dashboard textures' problem solved.

And this is the 'Deadly Python' paintjob.
Next will be in-game pictures.
