Midtown Mashup Project

Thanks for the advice, I've attempted the tutorials several times, I can create simple scratch circuits. But I just can't seem to relate what I've learnt to conversions, I guess I just don't know enough, I seem to be "stabbing in the dark".

Do you know the basics?

Kyle told me that I just need a valid GROUND_ object, and then to unite all the other objects or sections as PH1_, which never worked.

So then I tried creating a GROUND_ object, adding a few simple items, imported from the race track, and then I named the five items like PH1_ PH2_, etc, then I exported to .3ds, and loaded the track, and the game crashes just before the car hits the ground.

Well, I know more than the basics about MM2 tracks. I've now started to convert a track, and since some time I already knew how to convert a track, that's way easier than know how to make one in PSDL.

In your try sounds that you've done all well about the 3D model, but maybe you've done something wrong with the other files and the textures. Make sure to create the directory structure for the new city with the program. Isn't good unite all the objects of the track in one PH1_ object, because it'll result too big with too much polygons and can't work, it must be splitted in more parts.

PM me for any help about this.

A few more changes.

Is this better or worse?
Should I keep this skin or ditch it and start over?

Looks very nice.

Keep it, it's very nice.

The asphalt pattern can't be better because of the UVW mapping, and cool decals.

Very good.
Just a suggestion, could you put in a Zonda?
I might as well get rid of the bar in my sig.

look here :roll:

YEAH! Totally man. No-one seems to get the metallic effect, they just seem to think it's crusty or anal warts or something.

Good suggestion. I'll do that.

And DaGeek, if you're still interested in working on the project, get in touch on MSN - I never see you online anymore.

looks nice

also if u have a tow behind do it the same

There's no rear tow unfortunately.

I was thinking of adding this paint job to the other cars, seeing as I've ditched the Project: Epic Drift0rz paint jobs, which I've worked so hard on. The other cars I have so far - in case you've forgotten are;

Ford Fiesta Rallye Concept.
Ford Focus (2006) WRC.
Subaru Impreza (2006) WRC.
Citroen C2 S1600.
Mitsubishi Evo VIII (modified).

Do you think I should add this paintjob to those cars ^^^

The cars that I plan on dropping from the project;
Nissan 350Z
Hyundai Accent (WRC)
Bandito (GTASA Bandit)
Isuzu Bellet GT-R 1600
Ford Escort (WRC)
Mitsubishi Lancer VII (WRC)
Mitsubishi Lancer VIII (WRC) non-modified
Subaru Impreza 2001
Mitsubishi Super Rally Car
Lancia Delta
Porsche 911 (Police)
Peugeot 306
Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z

Nice that there will be the cars from the previous PED project, they're really nice.

Why not, would be very good have that same Midtown Mashup paintjob of the Volkswagen Polo also to the other rally cars.

Interesting the other planned cars, hope that they can work all together, since this project is going to be an edited version of MM2, so with less and different files used.

Thanks again for the support, however, I think you misunderstood, the second list was a list of cars that were made for PED, but I've decided not to use in this project.

I'd also like to point out, that was just my portion of cars. Zac has his own list.

Postby **Franch88** » Tue Nov 24, 2009 11:07 pm

Yeah, you're right, in fact it's written "dropping from the project". There are some other nice rally cars in that list, but since Zac has an his cars list, they had to be removed to don't be too much and create possible working troubles.
