This made me realise the Countslash in CR could look a lot more bad ass if its spoiler was wider.

Huh... Old game had a lot more vibrant color palette, seems like the new game has so much yellow, orange and brown.

Kinda wish there was a nice bright blue beautiful sky in one of the maps. Or lighting/skybox variations? I still dont get why C:R cant have those, all you need to do is lump map ambient lighting and sun lighting and skyboxes into a few weather folders and have the game pick one of them to use at a time. Why cant we have that? Is there a technical reason? It sounds like something that could be done in an evening, definitively wouldnt require an overhaul.

Back in the old builds it was extremely easy to swap map lighting, and i even showed an evidence of that, why cant stainless do it officially? It's not "hard", and it would keep the maps from getting stale faster.

Nobby mentioned on one of the livestreams (back when they were teasing update #2) that all environments would eventually be getting at least one new ambience/time of day setting. Also, the recent post-it note brain teaser on twitter showed one of the city levels with a different ambience setting.

Edit: it was mentioned here.

Funny thing is that was nothing to do with an explicitly desired art direction, but rather due to technical limitations. The game could only use 256 colours in total and the cars needed a lot of them as there's a lot of colour in the cars, so level textures needed to make use of the cars colours. Take that vibrant colourful green grass for example, it's that colour because it's the Countslash green.

Like Mike said, they already announced that levels will have multiple environment settings for different races. I woud imagine they will be handled by associating different setup.lol scripts with he different events in the level.txt, like how you associate preview images or flavour texts with events.

Oh my goood, Trent, you are totally right, i hadnt even thought about the 256 color palette. Also i'm glad to hear that it was confirmed that we'll get at least one variation of a level's lighting and skybox!

Psygery, that was an AMAZING showcase of how awesome '80s Time Warp's mods are, masterful playing of C:R, dude! The music was also strangely synced up very well despite not being edited =D

So recently we did some more CarMODgeddon multiplayer with '80s Time Warp's new cars. Also used edited versions of the police vehicles so we could have them unlocked in MP.

Awesome guys. I'm very surprised to see Big Dump in the lead in a checkpoint Stampede against considerably more agile vehicles hehe.

Haha, that was until I learned to take a corner without rolling over 3 times in my CUNT :D. Anyway, your cars are really fun and refreshing. My favorite part about them is the handling. Honestly I don't know why can't we have this sort of handling for the original cars. Been a while since simply driving a car in CR made me smile. Stainless should take notes. Well done! :)

It almost feels like they took inspiration from '80s Time Warp's cars for Shredlight's handling. :P

But yeah, it was very fun driving them around. Was also great to see no game crashes either! :)

Thanks again Shotgun. Especially awesome that it's all working smoothly in Multiplayer too :)


Spoiler: And a secret(ish) weapon/tool tip



The Tipper on big dump can be detached, and possibly dropped on pursuers. Open and close flaps a few times while moving, then hit the brakes, and sometimes it will immediately detach. As the tipper weighs in at a hefty 20000Kgs, it can do a lot of damage to most cars. You can also use the tipper as a handy battering ram after it has detached.

Hehe, glad you guys like it. It's actually a lot of fun taking pictures ingame. If I remember correctly, Bear and Crazor hit each other head to head while going pretty darn fast, and me - the Eletric Blue double or tripple thrusted into them from the the camera's perspective. The impact was so large my car spinned out hard, that's why it looks like I'm thrusting from the side.

Naw man, I bet you could do something cool with PUps, sometimes even I manage to pull off something sweet, and I'm clumsy as shit. One time I managed to wreck someone in Carmod MP while in your Stodge Squad Car - running away from them, I managed to pull off a 180 at pretty high speed and Pelvic Thrust right into 'em. Shame I don't have it on video because I will never ever pull anything as sweet as that again.

I needed to easily see all the different types of peds in the game, so obviously the solution was to write a script to load all the ped models and all their skin variations and around them in a grid with name tags. I ended up rendering up three images, one of drivers, one of male peds and one of female peds (I forgot to do the animals!) so they're more organised. So I thought people might find it interesting to see. Click the images for bigger versions.





These are without any props like hair, glasses, bazooka bras, etc., most peds have multiple prop variations too, so while there's over 200 types of peds just based on model and texture variations, the combinations of various props means there's substantially more unique peds, at least 1000. That's also not counting skin tone options.

That's interesting, Trent. Are the props determined somewhat randomly, or are they preset for each ped every time you load a map?

Some more pics:

Each type of ped has a script which references a model and has a list of variations, which list out all the texture options for the ped and all the prop options which can be attached to the different parts of the body. Each item has a weight attached to it to determine how likely that item is used.

The levels then either place specific ped types or groups of peds (which list ped types) which it random chooses from. When each ped spawns the game randomly picks a texture and one of the props listed in each part's section for the ped type.

In short: the props associated with a ped type are preset but the combination of them is randomly selected on load.
