Chong McBong Posted November 19, 2010 Author Share Posted November 19, 2010 Awesome model, I really like it. Nice to see some bodykits for it as well thanks Schaefft it was originally going to be standard with no extra stuff, but somebody suggested that the rear-window louvre should be a spoiler option, so i tried a few cars, and decided on the Jester.. seeing as the jester supports 2 sets of bumpers, 2 sideskirts, 2 spoilers, 2 roofscoops and more, i thought it was silly to just replace half of it, so i am working on building 2 full sets of kit for it.. i haven't decided what the second kit will be.. maybe a 1989 Carlsson kit with an uber-spoiler also, i am building lots of extras, some foglights, covers for the rear-vents, maybe a sunroof wind-deflector option, and a very silly extra that i will announce soon... suggestions are always welcome Holy f***, this Saab looks amazing, nice work Chong! icon14.gif smile.gifI beg you, please convert your cars to IV wink.gif lol, thanks dude, i do plan to learn how IV works at some point, but to be honest, it looks like a nightmare, and my pc struggles to run it at 10fps when Monolithic Monstrosity (my machine) dies, and i have to upgrade, modding IV will be at the top of my list.. Hehe Swede power.^^ lol, making fords was making me crazy building this has been loads of fun.. a good break from all that german efficiency Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/463356-sa-saab-900-turbo/#findComment-1060210149 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chong McBong Posted November 20, 2010 Author Share Posted November 20, 2010 Do some racing decals for it hmm, racing decals, possibly i had some crazy plans for skins, but i wasn't going to reveal them till later... i was just posting a progress update when i got your reply, so here is the new stuff: i have turned my original nasty curvy bodykit into a Carlsson kit, as it was a pretty similar shape, and needed tidying up: i am much more pleased with the Carlsson kit, but need some ideas for the other kit, and for the roof scoops.. i also built some more extras: Hella foglights, working or covered: i have also finished the silly extra, a Toppola i was going to keep this secret till release, but it seems i didn't manage that i saw the Toppola camper on a saab forum, and thought it had to go on as a ridiculous extra.. it will be every 6th or 7th car, so won't be too common in game... i will probably make the plastic of the standard bumpers and "Turbo" side trim carcols compatible, as it doesn't quite work at the moment.. lots more done, i will post more pics tomorrow when more stuff is complete Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/463356-sa-saab-900-turbo/#findComment-1060210674 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chong McBong Posted November 22, 2010 Author Share Posted November 22, 2010 i had and old SAAB many years ago, they have a very strange bonnet release on the car + it doesnt open like normal cars haha, i have already thought of that.. but thanks for pointing it out.. its a nice detail i have put the rotation point for the bonnet quite low down behind the front bumper, and it opens almost perfectly now it doesn't pop up at the front, but it does swing round to the right position... i will post a pic of it open once i have finished the engine bay my bro has this car I wish it is coming for gta iv its just for san andreas for now, when i get a new pc, i will probably convert some of my mods to IV.

Chong McBong Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Big Update: the engine bay and wheel arches are now finished, i have tweaked all sorts of stuff, and tidied it up a bit. Including a ridiculous amount of extras and mod garage options (and 4 wheels) it is 68k triangles i still have a few more things to build for it, but most of the big stuff is done (apart from the interior) anyway, enough waffling, here is a pic of tonight's progress: (shows Carlsson bodykit and "Griffin" extra) see the first post for more info. i have updated it now...

Nik.

Chong McBong Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 some more updates i did a long long night of work on the saab yesterday. it is now in game undergoing testing, it is almost perfect, apart from one big bug that is driving me nuts: all the "wheel arch angels" bodykit options are too dark and seem to be more shiny than the objects using the same material that are part of the car i have tried everything to fix it - different env-map textures, different specular settings, all to no avail. if anybody could help me fix this problem, it would be much appreciated, as it looks a bit silly with bodykit on at the moment. i haven't mapped a texture onto the body yet, its just the jumbled mess of unmapped stuff that zmodeler leaves, but the issue only affects all the stuff outside the jester dff file (spoilers, side skirts, bumpers etc) everything does have 2 UV channels, and there is a whilte texture on channel 1, and an auto-sphere env-map on channel 2. i will try to map a reflection properly onto it all too, but thats a job for another day... anyway here are some pics. the first shows the bodykit material bug (it looks much worse normally. this pic doesnt really do it justice) the rest of the pics have enb series running. i will post some normal ones later.. any questions or suggestions, just post here Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/463356-sa-saab-900-turbo/#findComment-1060237374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik. Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If I remember correctly, you shall add _shiny at all tuneable parts, as the new bodykits, but where.....cant remmber if it was in the heiracly or in the material editor, try both.

Chong McBong Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 Possibly the best car mod for SA, especially because of all the extras it's epic! Oh and please do a Vauxhall (opel) Corsa for IV wow! thanks dude i am working on more extras at the moment, i plan to replace everything that the standard jester can be modded with, so its a huge amount of bits to build, but its almost there now.. apart from the problem i mentioned above.. i haven't got round to fixing it yet, as i had an explosion and a small fire in my PC yesterday anyway, i plan to do a few more hours on the Saab tonight, and might release a Beta version soon.. what sort of corsa do you mean? the old boxy one? (it was called a Nova in the UK) i do plan to build one of those, but i don't have a complete blueprint yet.. if you find one, fire it my way, and i will build it (i don't like the new curvy corsas though, they're nasty) thanks to Jason too i am still looking for ideas for the second bodykit... post here if you have any ideas... it doesnt have to be a saab kit, i could possibly build an adaptation of something from another car Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/463356-sa-saab-900-turbo/#findComment-1060240254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
