Complete Formula 1 Mod

[BryanLex]

I´d like to use this thread to report the progress of a GTA IV Mod im currently working on.

 

The Mod:

After Ive done an F1 Car ( http://tiny.cc/7xaxm ) I´m now working on a Formula 1 Mod

wich will include all 20-24 cars at the end.

 

Mod-Features: (Possibility for all points checked)

-Each team (2 cars) will have its own model and each car its own texture.

-One carfile (.wtd + .wft) will contain 2 teams (5-6 carfiles for the whole mod)

-Each carfile will have an own handling file so that for example

a Red Bull car is faster than a Lotus.

 

As Im not very experienced with modding maybe I can also use this thread

to get some questions answered

Some other reasons why im creating this thread is to get some Feedback about

e.g. things that I could do better and also to check if theres some interest in this mod.

And of course also to answer questions if there are any

----------------------------

 

Mod-Diaries:

For this mod i will create Mod-Diary-Videos wich I will upload on my Youtube-Channel.

I've just uploaded the first Diary:

 

Mod Diary #1:

 

 

 

Changelog for Diary #1

- Models + Textures created/converted

- Damage Model created

- Seat and smoke points created

- Texture reflection created

- Tire reflection decreased

- Handling created

 

----------

Please note also that im not planing to release the mod before it is finished,

so the cars in the Diaries can not be downloaded from somewhere.

Nice idea.

[BryanLex]

thx, well i have two problems at the moment to find an answer for,

maybe someone over here knows the answer:

 

Problem 1:

When Niko drives in the car his legs can be seen from the outside

because the cockpit is too narrow.

Is there a way to move the position of his legs while driving maybe?

Because ive seen bikemods where the position of some bodyparts

has been changed.

 

Problem 2:

When I press "F" to enter the car he just runs against it without getting in,

it can be seen in this vid:

(I guess the sitting point is too far away from te modelsides)

the only way to get in is to jump on top of the car and then press "F" or to

move the sittingposition to the left or the right but that looks stupid then.

 

Im thankful for any ideas, i can also try to explain it more detailed

if you have a question.

(Any other feedback is welcome too)

You can't do nothing with legs. I too converted a car from F1 2010 and bug is the same. Editing animations will help, but .wad files are unknown for all.
