Doritos Projects (P51 Rod on hold)

Post by Doritoskng »

So I have made this model first in Zmod 1.17b
Image

then imported it in to 3dsmax8 got all the textures fixed again and exported as an ase file converted it and got it in to plaything... And i dont know how to set up the wheels (making them actors) from my converted 3dsmax file...

yes this is up on the carmageddon.com forum but this is where all the modders are

Any and all help appreciated
and much thanks to all of you out there keeping C1 and C2 alive for so long

Hey Doritos :ssmile:

I like your model there. Crossover between a plane and an old F1 Bugatti thing?!
About the wheels: make sure your model is scaled correctly in PT2 then simply use the the Setup Wheels function.
Your wheels must be named FLWHEEL FRWHEEL RLWHEEL and RRWHEEL. That function will do the 'actoring' all alone.

PS it wasn't necessary to create a new account, your devWAM one is still active.

This thread might help you some.

I think you should add a stubby 4 bladed propeller that spins

Damn that looks great!

Don't think I've ever seen such a vehicle for Carmageddon before, the wheels should be a bit more racey in my opinion, but the rest looks awesome.

A shredding propeller is required.

Well I couldn't log in with my original devwam account for some reason either I forgot the password or something else either way I'm here now!!

Okay so I have the wheels named wrong it seems... Ill have to look at that after I finish my finals.

@fireman and coffee : i intend on adding parts as soon as I get this done stock first sort of a "hey I can do this!" the stubby prop blades is a good idea maybe bent forward like a square bracket ([) for a spinning shish kabob thing. also was going to have wing blades that act like doors maybe... again this may take some time

Also im having issues with textures in pt2... as if the ase-asc converter doesnt see all of them... (exported entire model then converted to asc then import to pt2 and part of the textures are missing) I wonder if this means im doing something wrong

just have 2 fl and fr wheel headings now lol

actually all but the "bull nose ring" is all gtahttp://farm8.staticflickr.com/7046/6919789179_5b3cd2bb5a.jpg sa pretty much extracted the plane and modded it to my liking but i tend to do that before i make a totally scratch model for any game i convert from another game or modify the existing content... and you probably saw this on carmageddon.com... i post there under ZalDcaze, I posted a concept pic of a Messerschmidt rod this is just the american derivative... maybe after i get this done i will make the german version

more to the point this image
Image
yes?

san andreas just has a lot ov very usable parts im afraid

maxine mabe you should give this one a go

Well the P51 rod is still in PT2 I think i have the wheels set up but again i have 2 FLWHEEL and FRWHEEL act headings so now im confused and slightly lost... also even though i exported the model all textured it seems PT2 isnt recognizing that for some reason well more reading for me im affriaid

@Coffey: just last night i wsa thinking that... kind of an online game of protect the big guy... 4ish of mine and the b24 going one way and other vehicles trying to destroy the b24

Hmmm, there should be one FLWheel.act and one FRWheel.act.

Also are your textures 64x64 or 128x128 pixels? size needs to be multiples of 8 (8x8, 16x16, 32x32,64x64, 128x128 or combination i.e. 64x128)

Superb artwork!
If you don't do it, I'll make a skin for your model that matches the artwork!

@Coffey: I thought it was odd as well to have 2 entries for both front wheels.... one set where they started and teh other probably where they should be (body- pivot- wheel) I don't know if I should delete one pair or not and my textures are all under 128x128... the only odd one is 64x128 so that shouldn't be the problem..

@Toshiba: I do plan on making a model more matching that picture, as it is awesome artwork (sadly not mine) but i would gladly appreciate your skin as an alternate paint scheme for this model

Okay this is odd I open up the model in pt2 today and no more double front wheels.

Maybe I was just seeing things, my mind has a way of playing ticks on me when I least want it to.... but here it is any way

Wheels
FLWheel.act should be a child of (grouped to) FLPivot.act.
FRWheel.act should be a child of (grouped to) FRPivot.act.

When you did PT2 Wheel Setup it should've done it for you. I don't understand what you did wrong.

Textures
If tifs are the correct size, are they in a TIFFRGB folder? Look at some other people's cars and see how they are setup

Also the Body should have a mesh (looks like it has)
and be the master object (atm it's the C:/Program Files... entry).

okay well hmm pt2 did have the front wheels as the pivot children when i saved it last... and the other entries as well... i dont know what happened there... luckly i can just reimport and reset up... now how do i make the body the master object? simply move it up in the hierarchy? and all my textures are in a TIFFRGB folder again not sure whats going on with that.

and this is what happens after reimport and setup:

This is what should be done right after the import in order to get the right component as the master object:

The hierarchy looks right now, you just need to rename Body to P51Rod.act
that makes it the main part that the game is expecting.

Even without the textures you should be able to drive it ingame once you add a TXT and WAM

Edit: you need to move car up so wheels are sitting on 0 of the Y axis. Right now half your car would be underground.

Onward to making the text and wam files!

Within PT2 you should be able to assign textures back in the materials.
Double click on a material in the bottom panel then Browse.

If there's no material you can create them from the Material drop down menu and apply them on the model again.
If the conversion kept the UVW maps then it's just a matter of applying the textures again.

I haven't even started on the text or wam files in fact to be brutally honest I'm rather lost so I've been looking at some of the stock c2 vehicles to get an idea of what I'm supposed to do but still little to no help there lol


I swear I need a MAKING CARMAGEDDON 2 CONTENT FOR DUMMIES book or something

Yay!
Made it all again? I like motivated people :swink: Looking good.
I'm still feeling like making a replica of the one in the artwork! Not sure I'll ever have the time to!
Especially as I have C1 in mind and thus it involves pixelart etc.

Now you have to export that to 3dsmax, maybe set the smoothing groups again, then use ASE2ASC to bring it to PT2.

well with a new laptop comes new problems that require repair... my projects have been on hold since well months ago. i need to reinstall win7 on this new laptop my old laptop requires a new battery and power cord and i cannot get them to network together to transfer massive files. Sadly life has gotten in the way as well as life does so prominently but the model is mostly complete might require a driver model but that is such a little thing missing in comparison to everything else thats missing like getting it in game but ohwell this is just like all my projects so nearly complete but unfinnished
