Wrestling with c1 cars
Just for fun I tried to make a square shape without wheels and looked over the c2 car to c1 conversion tutorial as reference.
I actually got the model ingame, it just doesn't move,the other cars can phase through it, and max in the pratcam looks
like he's having a seizure.what should I do?

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Sounds to me like you went too fast with C1 editing. Could be model not matching bbox or vice versa. Or the angular momentum proportions being too off.
So open your model in PT2 and take new coords for the bbox. If the txt file has any additional collision points, just remove them. Also pay attention to the ride height, and wheel positions. For the angular momentum proportions, just set them to width, height and length of the model for the moment.
Also the problem with that C1 tutorial is that it completely misses the ACTOR part of the setup.

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Thanks for the reply, anyway sorry I didn't specify the tutorial, it was Deep Blue's.
anyway, know any tutorials for that deal with angular momentum, bbox, and collision data?

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Yes, I supposed you were talking about D_B's tutorial. Mastro's tut doesn't talk about ACTORS either anyway. There are almost no C1 tutorials :(
BBoxes in C1 are simple boxes defined by minima and maxima on each axis (-x,-y,-z then +x,+y,+z), it must be as close as possible to your model (or the collision your want your model to have).
This is what C2Scientist wrote about Angular Momentum Proportions in his Car Phys Tut:

This is what C2Scientist wrote about Angular Momentum Proportions in his Car Phys Tut:
Angular momentum proportions are based on the total width, height and length of the car. (x , y , z)
X:
This value affects to steering and "barrel-rolling". If this value is very high, the car will roll sideways very slowly & smoothly, maybe like it had some helium in it. (Unlike in the first picture)
Y:
This affects to barrel-rolling too, if you put a high value here.
Z:
This affects mostly to steering. And if the value is too high here, and you drive down from a rooftop, the car won't lean forward when there's not anymore ground under the front wheels. (Second picture)
Some values for different kinds of vehicles:
Kutter's Diablo: 0.40 , 0.22 , 0.77
Prop shafter (picture) 0.32 , 0.24 , 0.78
Pitbull's Big Dump 1.20 , 1.12 , 1.97
Limousine 0.44 , 0.32 , 1.41
Bus 0.60 , 0.64 , 2.60

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Thanks again, I'm still new to plaything2.
I'll keep this thread alive a little bit more just incase weird stuff come up during editing.

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Ah. Aside from the bbox thing-if I remember correctly, you still have to define the wheels (axis/position.etc.) but you don't actually have to make any.
'Lest that's what I remember doing.

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Not to take the nerd mytique off of this, but when I made one of the first hovering cars (Magic 8 Ball from Leadpumper) I simply used carmagedit to replace the wheel textures with index #0 color.
I'm prolly misunderstanding the question.

anyway when I get around to it, i'm going to try making another car.
I probably fumbled on the wheel coords.
Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
What CWR is saying is you shouldn't even be fiddling with the wheel coords.
All you need to do is swap the wheel texture out with a transparent one.

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
His problem wasn't making the car look like hovering. It had a physic problem after importing a new model.
And Deep_Blue is right, if your car doesn't need wheels, there's no need for wheel models at all. Just remove the susp/pivot/spin grooves and their groovyfunkrefs and you're good to go. These are just visuals. The game will always process four wheel mechanics anyway.

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Sorry to resurrect an old post but, I got my thingie working in c1, how do I make the collision data fit my model? I mean it doesn't dent at all until you hit something at a high speed, then it looks like a crumpled mess of polygons.
Also again, sorry for the confusing thread name, it should of been called,
"how do I make a c1 car".

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! (Sorry...couldn't resist)
Welcome to the club, Spectre!
LOL. Origami cars. The C1 crush data is still kinda a mystery-
I hear tell there's guys here working on C1 crush data- how it works and maybe a CD generator eventually?
Maybe Tosh could tell ya more about it... There was a thread here once explaining some of C1 crush data, but it's gone, methinks.
Meanwhile as I understand it-a solution is to just delete the crush data. The car won't bend I don't think, but it won't look like a porcupine when it gets whacked, either!

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Yeah it's possible to make crush datas manually but it's insanely complicated.
Just copy paste the crush datas of an addon car into your addon's text file
When will we see your item btw?

Re: A question about wheeless\hovering cars in c1
Well that one I got working was a test, it was pretty much a distorted box with a texture and wheels. but I do have something in the works for c1
Its loosely based off the ford escort van, the only thing really slowing me down
right now is learning how to mince together textures from car photos,
since I'm no picasso. yeah I know, I may need to tweak the model some more.

Re: Wrestling with c1 cars
That looks cool. But I think you should split those 2 polys on the door left to right instead of up and down.

Re: Wrestling with c1 cars
Well kinda bad news here, I'm stuck on this one stupid thing, trying to make the textures look realistic. I quit GIMP its too complicated now. though I did best with its 2.6 version. anyway the textures, as easy as they seem, they are going to take a while. : (

You can take a screenshot from within CarEd to get a side view and use that as a guide.
When you're happy with it, crop it to the edges and resize to one of these sizes:
256x256
256x128
256x64
128x128
128x64
like so:

Thanks, I should get a hold of myself, anyway after I made that post I whipped up some textures out of photos I'll fixem up and post them to see what you think.
Re: Wrestling with c1 cars
Well, that's even better. Using photos of parts of real cars is a good way to go.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Re: Wrestling with c1 cars
Looking good indeed, Spectre.
Still aimed at C1 thus? If so don't forget to check what your textures will look like with the C1 palette, as the final result might vary greatly due to color limitations.

Hey I might know what it is... I could try to move the wheels up a bit.

EDIT: nope that wasnt it, it starts out normal then does the same thing.

Re: Wrestling with c1 cars
It's because you need to do the physics correctly. The bounding box and especially the angular momentum proportions. The latter is likely too tiny.
