Hello back! I suppose the extra spare time at home in between online classes left me motivated to try and boot back up the good ol' MM2, as well as checking the new stuff on the works ATM. Finding out about the MM2Hook project, as well as all the many new features developed by The_Most_Wanted on his Patched EXE V4 have made me want to finally finish the last of the promising WIPs I had laying around - the Cadillac ambulance from the Ghostbusters movie!
When I was a kid I was all into the Ghostbusters, I had watched the original movies, played the heck out of the DS version of the game and even built several of my visions of the Ecto-1 out of Legos and papercraft models. Needless to say, after getting more experienced in the MM2 conversion scene, I ultimately desired to bring the van to the game by my own hand and in its full glory. This started being developed in 2015 as part of my Halloween surprise (which ended up just being a port of GTA V's Romero, looking back at it, it seems a rather odd choice of mine... oh well
), I called it quits as the freshman year of college began consuming more time and I started to realize the overtaking it was at the time to get it playing as I've wanted.
When I came back in a sheer of motivation in late 2018, it was supposed to be the third and final project getting released, after the 8-Track port and the Arkham Knight Batmobile, but unfortunately, yet again personal matters took the most of my time, not to speak what seemed to be a disappointing amount of downloads on the previous two, based on my high expectations from the 2013-14 days, meant calling it quits once more. Well finally, here it is, and in a pretty okay final product, I'd say! - at least it's quite up to my original ideas.
Long rambling short, this is a conversion of the original model from the PC edition of the Ghostbusters Videogame, but heavily edited over the years to be movie-accurate, with completely remade body textures using baked textures, as well as adapted textures and assets from either the Forza or the Driver SF Eldorado (I honestly can't recall which, as I've done this bit back in 2015).
Features a movie-accurate livery of the first movie, a livery inspired by the second and another for the upcoming Afterlife movie, the black beaten up livery when Ray bought the van in the movie and, finally, a fantasy one I've designed based on an Hot Wheels model. Has models of the crew as driver and passengers extracted from the game (positioning them required learning a whole new skillset in Blender) and, the best bit, fully animated emergency lights designed by The_Most_Wanted, as well as the iconic siren sound. The mandatory HD 16:9 dash in all my mods couldn't be lacking, either.
The models are awaiting aproval, but you may get the pre_release build already, from our Discord server. And no typo here, there's more than one model...
