Ta, yeah no worries then, sounds like a plan. Thanks guys.

Lumberjack

Thanks Soup, I used to run bootcamp but when I got parallels I just migrated to that, and to be honest I dont use windows for anything anymore. I'd rather not bootcamp if I can help it. I bought parallels for a reason. I'm still thinking 95/98 is the way to go, as I want to run C1 as well. Does C1 r...

Lumberjack

Bump this? Blue jetcar is nice, plain but good, wheels look like standard steel but I think they would have been more like an alloy, I'm thinking centerline drag racing wheels. Like this. http://www.shining-wit.net/rick/buggy/design/wheels/centerline.jpg Hellrod looks great, only thing I'm not so ke...

Lumberjack

Heh, mine's a Mac Pro.

2 x dual-core 2.66GHz,

5gb RAM,

4 HDs (I went a bit over the top but the fourth one 1.5tb is for Time Machine backups and replaced the third now empty one),

running Snow Leopard - no carmageddon yet!

Lumberjack

I think that the asc files that we can use are a different structure to 'modern' asc files. Actually I seem to remember that was the case at the time as well? Something like that anyway.

Lumberjack

<t>Hello Pause, welcome. Although many people would agree that TDR is not worth the bother (probably myself included), there are also a lot of people who would say it is. Best to make your own mind up. I think its like with the band Genesis, the flavour is much different in the next incarnation.<br/...

Lumberjack

I'll have a look later and see if I still have the file for Bemax

Lumberjack

<t>Hi guys, its been such a long time since I played Carmageddon, that I'm not even in the windows environment anymore! I know there are a couple of mac users here, so perhaps one can enlighten me on the best way to play carma on mac. I'm running on an intel chip so think its best to avoi...

Lumberjack

Yep I'm afraid my carma knowledge is going to be very rusty for a while..

Lumberjack

<t>Maybe someone else can assist with download location. Its possible I still have the file somewhere on my computer and others may have it too. I seem to remember it was used to get 3DSmax models into the game. Not sure how useful that is. There were also some tools for various file-file...

Lumberjack

Yes, is it inspired by Maim Street? It reminds me a lot of that C1 track.

Lumberjack

<t>Hiya Master Carnage! Just wanted to say that wasnt there a program called Bemax which could handle more advanced models import into C2? It was over at LoD some time ago, not sure if that site exists anymore? I'm sure that the files are still around in any case. Maybe someone else remem...

Lumberjack

Just want to say that I am seriously impressed by all that you've accomplished since I've been gone. Some of these techniques are genius, I really like the traffic light for example. What an excellent way to do it!

Lumberjack

<t>Hi Beast, thanks.. man it really feels like everyone is still here. That's really great. SoupaVedg, let me know when you've got those files ready, the site is not ready to receive them but I can put them on manually now I have ftp access again. Same applies to anyone else who needs a h...

Lumberjack

<r>Nice! I am surprised actually to find so many still around. DB, rm, TTR, Econobrick and so on. Really surprised.. So I should ask if anyone is actually interested in getting more files on TSS. Since the current webhost doesn't run perl on the server, I am tasked with the job of convert...

Lumberjack

<r>Thanks Razor. Its amazing actually that CoffeyCup is still around. When I was highly active here (in the C2 days), CoffeyCup was something of a community legend/myth, there were a few people who remembered him being around but he was a C1 guy and had been absent for some time. When Dee...

Lumberjack

<r>Guys, very touched by your PMs. I've had a bit of a change of heart. I had a little browse through some of the amazing developments that guys like C2 Scientist have been making in the map-making field, and I am very impressed by all of that. And then I got bit by the nostalgic bug and decided I c...

Lumberjack

<t>Hi all, Good to see that some of the names I remember are still running around here. A nod to everyone, hope you are all good. Just an update on The Spray Shop, which as you probably have noticed has been very dead for the past few years. Well the renewal on the domain name ...

Lumberjack

@Reno: how did you clearance the fan housing with those twin carbs? I found it to be impossible in my bug, are you using different manifolds?

Lumberjack

<t>Hmm I didn't know about that. But I've definitely seen these wheel issues before. Funny enough, I seem to most vividly remember that problem when I tried to put my Mini into C1. I'm sure it was solved by messing with wheel positions in the car.txt. I guess just try and see.. By the way...

Lumberjack

<t>It is looking nice! Maybe texturing in 3dsmax might be better, since that bemax program can convert the mapping, correct? As for the verts/triangles thing, I guess it depends how many vertices are shared. You could have one vertex shared by many many triangles, for instance in a cone.....

Lumberjack

<t>From what I can guess without opening the model (so installing CarEd), yes its the drivers arm, it moves along with the "joystick" when driving/steering the car. The joystick has a separate groove entry in the car.txt. From what I gathered, the joystick leans forwards/backwards, wherea...

Lumberjack

<t>Hmm coffeycup that's interesting, from the text file they look like they are set up exactly the same as steerable front wheels. I wonder if they did steer the right way, I assume so. I know its possible to make 4 steerable wheels having done that myself, I did try to find a way to 'negate' the ba...

Lumberjack

you can't do a linked trailer Yes that's right, despite all our best efforts we can't make a simple free pivot point, how annoying. The closest was a car plus caravan, possibly done by yourself? I enjoyed those kind of challenges in carma. Hence the multi-wheeled steering thing we figured out when ...

Lumberjack

<t>As far as PT2 is concerned, CarEd generates the wheel setup in a very strange way. Some C2 models (I believe) still have the old C1-style centralised wheel thing and the txt file sets it all up properly in game. When you see the model you'll be scratching your head initially! So anyway the point ...

Lumberjack

Well I never come here so who knows when the original was posted! I've just surfaced long enough to recognise that this game still exists..

Lumberjack

<t>I found the handling of the cars quite annoying to start with. But you get used to it.. have to agree with rm on the camera angles, but then I always played the other gta3d games with one hand/thumb on the camera controls, I never liked it. Nothing's changed there.. There are some anno...

Lumberjack

Here's a tutorial on editing a cars .txt file

Amazing, people actually use this..

Lumberjack

Huh, interesting how things come around isn't it. Anyone planning a TSS update? Hehe.. you do know its basically left in your hands right?

bring in some new stuff so I can update the title image!! Or, if someone is feeling artistic, the psd is on the server I think.

Lumberjack

Pivot point is in the grooves for the wheels, I believe. I had quite a few problems with that for the interceptor because of my non-standard wheel type. CarEd sets the pivot point to be the outermost point of the wheel, as I remember. I used CarEd's coords display to measure how much I wanted to cha...

Lumberjack

Hmm, no, I think the address still functions but I don't look at it anymore. Anyone else?

Lumberjack

Hmm.. why couldn't you get it to work?

Lumberjack

You might like to take a look at this tutorial for some ideas, and also the other tutorials here at TSS, The best thing to try to accomplish a feature already seen in game is to copy the relevant setup sections from that car's files. The shear groove should be able to be worked out from that. I thin...

Lumberjack

PT2 has some features which you might find useful, like the ability to apply various textures to one component, and mapping the texture around the component better. For the sake of simply changing your screen colours to 16 bit, you will have the use of these features along with many other useful thi...

Lumberjack

Very nice, cheers for the links, that was the PT2 I was talking about.. and of course I haven't modeled for carma in ages.. I had gotten most of the way through a very nice looking car and then gave up. Maybe I should put it in the unfinished section for someone else to finish..
