Arrow.inactive Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Greets, Sorry if this has been covered already .... I'm not very far in the game, but car mods don't seem to do much. Sure they can increase the influence and sex appeal ratings and look pretty cool, but why doesn't a front grill mod allow you to ram more people, cars, structures before taking any damage to the car?? The only 2 mods with any real game functionality is nitro which allows you to actually use the mod by engaging the nitro boost, and the hydrolics which allow you to pump-up over cars and stuff. But.... Tire mods should allow your car to go a little faster, sustain more damage, or give some other car enhancement. Bumpers should allow you to bump sh*t up. Exhaust, vents, hood, fins, etc should give better accelleration, speed or cornering. And... There should be at least a few weapon mods ... machine guns facing forward or some oil slicks facing rear. Wouldn't that be cool? I don't think either of these would be hard to implement and would, IMO, definitely add to the fun. Are there any game mods that have either of these implemented???

LLD Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Not to mention some cars barely have any modification options (Colour, wheels, hydraulics, sound).. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy vercetti guy Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I have a question, does the Off-Road Tires change any handlings? If you want a serious vehicle mod game, play NFS Under ground 1 and 2 or Midnight club 3 There should be at least a few weapon mods ... machine guns facing forward or some oil slicks facing rear. Wouldn't that be cool? There is, in GTA2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 some cars wont let you even get bass bost @ tommy vercetti guy: no off road tires do not change hanling Yes actually they do, they let you drive offroad without loosing traction. As for the other mods besides nitro go, no they don't offer anything in the way of performance or special abilites. Besides why would a new bumper give you better ramming ability anyway?

YeTi Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Yeah a bumper is purely for show. And it would be cool if a bonnet scoop added acceleration but it is another feature that requires more coding hence a reason it might not have been added. They ran out of room on the disc. R.I.P.

original gangster Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 i would of liked to put body kits on every car, not just street racers. and i would of liked to of been able to put spikes in your car, just like in the mission where you puncture that womans tyres.

Opius Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 FILESIZE IS NOT AN ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO CODE. STOP ACTING LIKE IT IS. It would be trivial to simply add more health to the vehicle when certain upgrades are applied to emulate the extra strength of added body parts. Cars usually have a maximum health of 1000, so if you added a new front bumper, you could set the cars health to 1100, which would allow it to take more damage.

guitarrocker Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 whats the fastest car you can add 10x nitro too? the infernus. it was proved to be the fastest in the game, and it can get 10X nitrous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Jacques Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Why would changing your bumper increase your car health All tires seem to be Economy Class with different rims, except for the off-road tires, which do effect your cars performance in different areas. I love car mods. They be pimpin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chaoticmayhem Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 What's the point of 10x nitros? I usually just by 5x nitros. Most of the time the car would be destroyed before the time you could use the tenth shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrow.inactive Posted September 4, 2005 Author Share Posted September 4, 2005 The mods do not increase your sex appeal. Yea I musta been thinking of a game mod that makes car mods affect sex appeal. There is one that does that, forgot the name tho. Besides why would a new bumper give you better ramming ability anyway? My main man, dont think bumper - think battering ram! Lots of jeeps/trucks in the reel-world has grills/reinforced bumpers which can lessen the damage the engine mightsta take with a collision. So letsay yalls got this heavy grill on the front of your ride, bring up ya speed, zero in your Balla bros and lay in without having your fly ride go up in flames. Heavy grill for roastin while ya rollin wit ya family. It would be trivial to simply add more health to the vehicle when certain upgrades are applied to emulate the extra strength of added body parts Awwww, they'd be particular to the part of the car... so if you've a rear grill/bumper you'd be able to sustain some rear hits before your car start buckling up into aluminum foil. It'd affect the way you play your ride. But definitely they should also have some drawbacks. A heavy roastin grill would also slow down your max speed and accel just a touch to account for the extra iron weight. Additionally it'd increase the mass so you'd have just a touch more plow-thru. For shur, it'd be easy to make this sorta thing in a game mod. The hard part is to account for it in the way the AI uses em, reacts to em, since they'd affect the rollin strategies. Wheel blades - curbfeelers ... now that'd put a whole new slice on the ol drive-by! In turn, blades would break off after a x amount of damage, navigation thru narrow alleyways would be impaired and break them off ... that sorta thing. Any modders up for such a thing?

original gangster Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 yes there is a mod that lets you get sex appeal for modding cars. you also get respect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTA3Freak-2001 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I was referring to the actual current bumpers you can get in the game, which only have the crappy street racing bumpers which would give the car less ramming abilities in reality. You've also got the flimsy chrome bumpers for the lowriders so I was going on the basis that you wanted the current bumpers ingame to give better ramming power. I guess if the game had bumpers like bullbars, nudge bars, etc. then I could understand your logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
