Thundersmacker's Workshop

[Thundersmacker]

Small suggestion: if it wouldn't be too hard, would be 2-door version Warrener possible?

 

No, I don't want to do that, I actually like the Warrener as a 4-door.

 

 

Just throwing this out there, but have you ever considered working on lore friendly motorbikes like JoeVK did?

 

Never have worked on bikes, I'm not really much of a bike person. JoeVK's bikes are good enough for me.

 

 

Now I know I said I was going to do the Warrener after the Taxi Premier but what the hell.

 

Here are some progress pics:

 

STOCK VERSION

 

 

GANG VERSION

 

 

Still a work in progress, I still have to change badges, and I also want to try to get the rear spoiler shown as a optional extra for the stock version and have a duck-tail spoiler for the gang version. Does anyone know if I can have extras like spoilers spawn on the normal car along with having a gang version?

I suppose you play around with ext_gang, ext_requi and ext_taxi flags.

The stock version's spoiler is too tall and kinda ruined the look. Maybe shorten the spoiler and add rear fender skirt as extra (to make it look like this:

Agreed, I'll shorten it since I kinda forgot what the Skyline looked like exactly. I'm also going to make the fender flares from the gang version separate so you can put them on the stock version using a trainer.

 

I still haven't figured out how to get the spoiler to spawn along with the stock seats and front spoiler. I may have to just weld the trunk to the body and have it not open so the spoiler isn't separate from the stock parts.

Any pics of the Premier cab you got ready to show?

Maybe you should put the front spoiler and trunk spoiler as one extra instead of separate extra.

Nope nothing yet.

I can't do that since the trunk opens, I have to have the spoiler separate otherwise the spoiler won't open with the trunk.

[Claude_Lib]

Don't newer GTAs support several meshes combined into one extra, but attached to different bones? I though they do.

ext_gang+ext_all will make it spawn with either all gang parts, or all non-gang parts. Extras 1-4 are non-gang parts, 5-8 are gang parts. So when it's a non-gang car, it will spawn all extras numbered 1-4, and when it's a gang car, it will spawn all extras numbered 5-8.

The problem was spawning the spoiler along with the stock seats, when I had the spoiler separate it would just spawn the spoiler and not the seats. Anyway I just welded the trunk to the body, kinda sucks that I can't get the trunk to work but as long as I use the noboot flag in the vehicles.ide there shouldn't be any bugs.

What about making 2 copies of the spoiler as 2 different extras and play around with that, or make an invisible glass box (glass material and transparent texture) higher than one copy of the spoiler, that "hides" it once it spawns.

Interesting ideas, but I don't think they'll work. I'm just going to weld the trunk to the body mesh.

 

Now with that problem solved the Warrener is all done, I'm going to do something different and post a link on the OP.

I'm saving the Warrener for my big final update pack, but I wanted to give you guys a chance to play with it before that pack is made. You can find it under the LINKS section in Unfinished/Beta mods.

 

Have fun with it!

But why wouldn't it work? I know for sure it does, I didn't get a chance to try it but I know who did.

I'll try the invisible box idea and see if that works, I was just referring to the multiple spoiler idea.

 

Edit: Didn't work, the box won't hide the spoiler. Gave it a shot though.

Just wanted to let you guys know I also added the clean Slamvan along with a clean Regina, and the badged F620 I mentioned some posts back to the OP for download. They should be in the unfinished/beta mod section along with the Warrener Redux.

 

For unbid: the F620 I linked in the OP is different than the one I gave you, it is best to re-download it because I fixed some collision errors.

Okay. If the lines are similar than the vanilla one, then it's just a simple adding job for me.

 

Also, a suggestion. How about adding a wooden panel on the Regina? Kinda have a hard-on on a wooden panel wagon.

I forgot to say, I think the glass material has to be higher in the hierarchy than the paint one.

That's what figured I would need to do, anyway I'll just stick to the solution I did. It seems to work fine other than the fact that the trunk don't open, I do appreciate the ideas though.

Here's some progress pics of the Taxi Premier. This has been quite a easy mod to do, it should be done and uploaded by this weekend.

 

 

It does look a little raised in the pics mostly because I'm using the default Taxi2 handling which raises the car a little. It also has all the other taxi signs along with the one shown, and the taxi destination interface works just fine.

 

[JoeVK]

That taxi driver kinda looks like my dad.

[86DX]

Damn does it look good, a lot better than the Merit based cab.
Love your choice in steelies.

[Thundersmacker]

Love your choice in steelies.

 

Glad you like them, though they changed a bit from those pics. They now look like the classic Caprice steelie.

 

Here's a pic of them in the OpenIV model viewer:

 

 

 

Speaking of which the Taxi Premier is all done, it should be uploaded this weekend.

Need a rim texture ?

No, it's black in game just the Model viewer doesn't show the vertex coloring. That's a nice texture btw.

Yeah I had it laying around made a ton of textures about a year ago and stumbled across this steelie thought it would fit perfectly.

good job, is nice to see the SA Premier in GTA IV

I think he meant that it looks like the SA Premier.

Just noticed on the Premier squad when you get far away from it the mock 9C1 steelies become the steelie model off the Merit taxi, not sure if this is a bug or intentional.

Here's a few shots I just did:
