[Alex Self A 9]

Apoc 9 stands for an orginazation i run in my dreams, im 14 years old, how did u merge all my topics?

and I really want to know how to mak C1 cars, I'm creating this carma game that will b called High Octane,

Im kinda new to Carma modding, though i downloaded a few, fan of Twisted metal

got cars like Coffeycup's A-team van, econobrink's Twisted metal relics, and mor e

Not a fan of Rar files

I would like to have RR2000's C1 Rc firetruck, jaws, and RazorBack as Compressed zip files

Sorry for kinda spamming, Coffeycup

and I want thy software required to make C1 cars, and what do i do if thy Download Says that it will harm thy laptop?

anyways, sorry 4 upsetting u guys,

i just want to learn to make C1 cars

P.S. Thy 'Newbie' tutorials, make no sense

[Alex Self A 9]

i dont do cusswords

[Alex Self A 9]

For some reason, I feel like I don't belong in the CWA forums, I don't get very good help, and people here think I'm a little kid

My Carmageddon High Octane game will never be completed,



and I still can't use the software, becuz the computer I'm using says it can't access any of the carmageddon modding stuff

I feel helpless

Ps what is a good Idea for a test car for Carmageddon 1 mods?

[coffeycup]

For some reason? I told you EXACTLY the reasons.

You get the same help everyone else does, the difference is most people can follow instructions and take advice.

Right now Spectre is making his first car - he was able to figure it out. He didn't come in all lost and helpless and whiney.
He put on his big boy pants and did it himself.

You want to be treated like an adult? Act like one.

[Alex Self A 9]

I heard it kind of helped, but I still can't acess the software because the laptop I use says it will harm or crash the computer, and I don't want the laptop to crash, then I'd have an angry dad

[Alex Self A 9]

I would like to restart life here in CWA, I would like to be with you guys, I want to be able to use... What was that program called where Spectre's first car's model was red, with no textures?

[coffeycup]

That is CarEd he is using. Go to noob section and look at list of Carma 2 Files and Tools section. CarEd comes with a good basic tutorial. Maxine also made a way more detailed tute also in Noob action.

That is why we made a noob section. Please go there now and look at the info there.

EDIT: If this is your dad's laptop then he will need to help install the java files needed for CarEd.

[Alex Self A 9]

Which those Java files are...

[Toshiba-3]

Just take the time to read and search.

Coffeycup pointed you to the Carma 2 Files and Tools section in order to download CarED.
In that very list, right under the download link for CarEd, there are three files needed for CarEd:
JRE 1.2: needed for CarEd
Java 3D (DirectX): for CarEd [if you install this, don't install the OpenGL part)
Java 3D (OpenGL): for CarEd [if you install this, don't install the DirectX part)

You only need to choose one of the Java 3D, either DirectX or OpenGL.

If you don't help yourself a minimum we'll grow tired very quickly to hold your hand everytime. Especially as we already spent a lot of time writing tutorials and filling this forum with informations.
The search feature is just up there in the page header.

[edit] and by the way, there is already a release of Carmageddon 1 titled High Octane (google it).

[coffeycup]

Honestly, can we have just a little reality check here? Apoc, before you start talking about your mod...which only happens to be the HARDEST project to undertake....can you just focus on the BASICS? I want to hear (and see) about your first skin and your first car. Anything else is just ridiculous to even ponder at this point.

You're like a kid who gets a chemistry set for his birthday and announces for his first experiment he will attempt to cure cancer.

I've said this a thousand times to every newbie who has come through this place, I ought to just have it tattooed to my forehead.
Please just take your time and learn the basics first.

Baby steps first or you'll just get frustrated and give up...like all the others did.

Like Tosh said, you need to step up and start figuring out things without being held by the hand every step of the way. You need to have basic computer skills and be a problem solver. I really don't know what else to say.

[Alex Self A 9]

I'm creating my own called Carmageddon High Octane EXTRAVIGANZA

[coffeycup]

Did you even read what I just wrote above?
If you're not going to follow any advice then why exactly are you here?
I don't have time to babysit.

And it's spelled 'extravaganza' btw.

[Deep_Blue]

Yo Coffey....

That troll's getting mighty large and round..
Time for it to go on a diet, no?

I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

[coffeycup]

I doubt you're wrong. I'd like to think anyone can modify Carmageddon, I means it's all there laid out for easy perusal and everything, excluding the game engine itself, can be modified.

But it takes a certain type of person, apparently, that can be resourceful, think on their feet, and have a sense of intuition to be able to mentally 'connect-the-dots'. That and some basic computer skills.

My patience has run out, how many times I can say, 'Learn the basics' first?

We have an entire Noob section setup to help people. Maxine and Tosh have spent a bunch of time compiling tons of great info, tutorials and links to resources but some people refuse to take advantage of the wealth.

<shakes head>

[Alex Self A 9]

IT'S OFFICIAL, IM MODDI'N CARMA 2, my first car ever...

... Is going to be based and dedicated to...Coffeycup,

for being such a good Freind, even though we have had our problems here and there, he is a good guy.

PS, Coffey, I subscribed to you on YouTube

[Alex Self A 9]

Oh, stink'in IPhone...

I've finally decided I'm modding Carmageddon 2, Ok?

[coffeycup]

y3s AleX.

[Harmalarm]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or to cry right now...

[Alex Self A 9]

At some parts, cry, others, be happy.

[Fireman]

But if you learn the advanced modding first, you can skip the basics!

It's brilliant!

[Alex Self A 9]

C1 driver images,,,how?

[coffeycup]

You need Carmagedit to open PIX and FLI files.

You will be able to export a BMP that you can edit/change and import back in.
See this post about color palette

You should get familiar with all the folders in C1.
Open up some files and look around at car textures, peds, etc.

Thank you Coffeycup, you are awesome.

[Alex Self A 9]

People say that making Carmageddon 1 Add-On Cars is harder than Carmageddon 2 cars,

But yet, how the Carmageddon 2 cars turn out look much harder to make than Carmageddon 1 cars.

Whereas a Carmageddon 2 car has a driver and Interior, and detachables...

But a Carmageddon 1 car looks simple, simple looking textures, and no interior, just the Exterior.

How could a Carmageddon 1 car be harder than a Carmageddon 2 car, Just look at it!!!!

[Deep_Blue]

Most likely they mean that the setup is harder on account of all the manual work you have to do to get the C1 car ingame (model/texture/textfile setup/hex editing, etc.) whereas CarEd just spits out a textured C2 car that is instantly useable (albeit kinda lame) in the game. The only thing ya actually hafta do is model/group and texture the C2 car and manually tweak the handling/physics and the .wam file to make the smashies and detachables.

C1 car texturing can be rough too as there's more of the car ya hafta cover with less textures. Lotsa adjusting involved sometimes to get 'em right.

I actually thought C1 cars were easier as I went along:

Thanks, Deep blue--

H-Hey!!!...Where'd ya get that school bus???

Also, I want to convert A LOT of C2 stuff to Carmageddon 1,like:

Mad_Maxine's Axel, The General Lee, EconoBrink's Speed Racer cars and Dude transporter, Chevelle's BatMobile, Etc. Etc...

[Deep_Blue]

I made the bus. It's my former bus #1: 1997 IH/BB S3800. Eventually traded in for a 2003 Thomas/Freighliner FS-65 I put in C2.

btw i always wonder why this beautiful vette wasn't released?

[coffeycup]

First off, could please use meaningful titles on your threads?

So now you're going to convert other people's cars? Really? That's gonna be tough since you don't really know how to do ANYTHING yet.

I am not sure why I am bothering to try and help you since you ignore all my advice, like starting with trying to re skin a car or making a simple car with CarEd before thinking/talking about doing harder things.

[Alex Self A 9]

...well, I don't have ANY of the Software installed, and I'm gonna Admit it...

heck, I DON'T EVEN HAVE THE CARMAGEDDON PC GAMES ANY!!! Just the iOS version and a bunch of YouTube vids of people playing the PC version!!!

Hmm.. I didn't know that.
For awhile there I was crankin' 'em out pretty quick.
I'll hafta see about remedying that somehow..

[Mastro 666]

Will someone, please ban this user!?

[Alex Self A 9]

NO! NO! NO! NOOOOO!!! Please do not ban me! I know I'm annoying to you guys, but who I really am is not who you think!!!

Please! Please! DO NOT BAN ME!!!!!!!


Otherwise imma send MAC DAMAGE to hunt you down!!!!!

I enjoy speaking about Carmageddon, please, don't take it away from me and end up with a sad small 14 year old...

WHO HAS SUFFERED ENOUGH ALREADY!!!

[coffeycup]

You know what? I don't think this is the right forum for you. This forum is about modding the PC versions of the game. It's stupid to be bothering us with a million questions about modding when you don't even own a PC let alone the PC version of the game!

All these troubles you brought on yourself, no one else. I have been trying to be patient and helpful. But you're just jerking everyone around and wasting everyone's time having people researching links and resources for you.

If you want to post random pictures and 'what if' scenarios and talk about Carmageddon, join forum at Carmageddon.com

Sending me PMs will just piss me off further.

[coffeycup]

I forgot one thing off the list.

You need to get a computer for yourself.

You need something you can install software onto and
something you can install the PC version of the game.

You're not going to be able to modify your iOS game.
