The CWA Board

Yeah keep up the good work Harm !
I'm really looking forward for more progress too !

added the img a couple of hours ago, just so you know. get it over here :nyaha:

Remember it has vertex colours for the Beaver track only right now, and still needs a little tweeking. Once I know the correct settings, I'll colour the rest of the models :sglasses::sglasses:

Also a new screenie here.

Hey hazardic, thanx for reporting those errors! It's good to have someone watch things together with me!

That tunnel blocking the desert tracks I knew of, and also the shifted model there, at the other end of the desert track. I have a new water file, which you can put in you grandcarma/data folder. This will cover the tunnels of the deserttrack, and will also include all the pools. Some of the pools do not allign with the textures of the original tracks, but that is because the GTA-engine can only have water at rounded of coordinates... that sucks. but anyway, the pools are now there, and the whole water file is a lot better, not with water underneath the tracks like the old snow track. :uho:

grab it over here (right click, save as water.dat in the data folder.)

I will also fix those alpha's at the snow track.

It's looking pretty promising, there are alot of problems (as you pointed out) but i'm sure they can be fixed and it will be an extremely enjoyable map. :P

well done! this new water.dat cool!! great job! most of the pools now are filled with water

Hi, wow. You did a lot of work putting up those screenies!

[quote]- about the water in the quayside complex, the one where it is filled and in the original was empty. I decided to fill it becaus I can only cntrol the water in the big square of 6000 by 6000 units. If i leave it empty, the part of the map that falls out of the 6000 units, still has water, and so the area will not be empty completely. I thought filling it completely would be better than having it half filled you know... :uho:

- the water in the junkyard/max end of town map I left partially dry, so you could acces the underground part, and also drive through a couple of those tunnels. (I think there is still some solid water there, will have to check)

- the water near the stadium, yeah, it still has that invisible 'hard water' underneath. I alllready got rid of that error here, and will upload the new files when I've fixed a lot more errors. :uho:

- and the water in the frosty-pass snow area, and the other pool there I forgot... silly me! :uho:[/quote]
I think I will also use a new texture for the water, making it a little more transparrant, so the yellow pools of the factory will come out better.

This finetuning is quite the job, but at least now I know where it goes wrong! Thanx

One contribution of mine. I've been driving trough some tracks and every time i saw the poor low rez The Eagle Has landed sign i wished it was highrez.

So i installed c2 again, dled econos eagle remake took a screenie then used my limited photoshop skills to make this image.

[img]http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/4350 ... hl9.th.png[/img]

I Hope it's usable.

about the water in the junkyard/max - yeah, exactly i can drive into undreground - good idea!
about the water in the quayside complex - i think you're right - this site particulary will be uninteresting and unusual=)

Killer 11, yeah good job - but i think the letters must be a little bit huge - otherwise they will merge from a distance

Bigger letters incoming!

[img]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/6444 ... su8.th.png[/img]

It's as big as I can do now. But IMO it's big enough now. Almost as big as the one in original poster.

i think this size enough too=)) good job!

The dimensions of the picture can be changed easily as backround is just simple black colour.

Hmm. I have an idea. We could start remaking all the advertisement posters and stuff like that in higher rez so they read way more easily and are more clear ingame.

That is a great Idea. We could also change some of them in Grandcarma advertising, allways nice... I'll see if I can get that second image ingame.

pritty good work killer, but the plain back background is maybe a bit too plain black, don't you think?

imho it's ok.. but now i grieve for eagle in sa...

Indeed. Hmm is anyone here able to do good borders? becouse i fail at doing borders...

I'll try to do somethign still.

Oh and ye econos eagle MUST be in GTA-SA

[quote=Killer 11]Oh and ye econos eagle MUST be in GTA-SA[/quote]
totally agree - but with all my wish i can't do this becouse i don't know how..:heh:

Eagle Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 and Mk4 on gta sa and vc would be grrrreeaaat!
And the Hawk Mk1, 2 and 3 would be pretty cool too!

Oh yes, that is something that definately can be done, and probably will be done. Car-making for GTA-SA is actually not that hard, and seeing that I allready have most of the models, it can be done quite quickly I guess. I've never done a car for SA before, but I sure want to for this mod. But first I want to finish the map.

But if Eagle makes it in it should be like only single car in the map in "Eagle Motors" hq or smth.

So you have to do something hard to aquire that car. Afterall it is the symbol of Carmageddon.

I tested the new changes too, and I must say it improved a lot already!
It's getting really nicer.
I see flying trams here and there btw :nyaha:

Good to see you guys helping sir Harm, too!
This mod deserves more attention, I see it spread a bit on the net already.

Mister tosh coudl you have a go at making nice frame or soemthign to my high def Eagle poster. Becouse i just fail at making something completely from scratch and especially borders...

Any news?

[quote]Any news?[/quote]
ah no mates, I've been very buzy working lately... so no news. Furthermore my internet cable has been bitten through by my cats... :uho: And my computer has been acting kinda weird lately. Have to do a fresh install of my windows I guess. Things will just go a little slower from now on, because of other priorities, like my new study year starting off next week and stuff, ya know? But no worries, I'm still working here and there.
