80s Time Warps Used Cars. [REL] 29 Vehicles. Texture update now out.
Thanks :) The next one may be a while away, depending on when CarMODgeddon gets expanded. When the time comes, there will be plenty of new iron.I'm having much fun with those, 80s Time Warp! The damage model really shines on them, too. They deform nicely, while still being tough to bring down. Can't wait for the next bunch! :)
I would strongly recommend downloading the new versions. In addition to the functional updates to get the cars working with CMD in the best possible way (custom trailer tow-bar, in-car camera, sounds, basic UI text, material updates, etc), all cars have new damage textures, new tire textures, and more custom wheels (except the quarantine cab & Leadpumper), among many other small changes.Somehow i got the old versions working with new minge, not sure how, changed engine names. Worth downloading the new ones instead?Anyway that cop car gave me nostalgic flashbacks of the handling in DRIVER back in the day, the only game that made cars drive like they did in 80's action movies, man it slides and jumps and lands just right.
Then i tried Hevy impaler (favorite carma car) and didn't get to try the others yet cause damn its good.
I wish i could fiddle with the damage and speed settings like in carma2 though, sometimes it's so hit&miss, like your car is cardboard and theirs is solid granite. Also want to replace that v8 sound with a real roaring one.
Thank you for the kind words on the handling. That is the style I aim for.
If you are finding that the cars seem weak, Make sure to install APO upgrades to match the maximum level you have unlocked in the career. The AI automatically receive the maximum level upgrades that have been unlocked, irrespective of how the player configures their own car. The APO upgrades instantly warp all aspects of car performance & strength. For example, the maximum offensive upgrade multiplies the base offensive value on each car by a factor of 2.85, which means that an Eagle with a max offensive upgrade will do almost as much damage as a stock Lumberer. This can easily make any strong car seem very weak. Personally, in my game, I have overridden the settings of the APO upgrades, so no-matter what upgrades are installed - the cars remain stock.
Nonetheless, If you would like to alter the strength, that can be done by editing the GeneralDefence, CarDefence & Offence values in the structure.xml, you can also tweak the strength of each weld on each part, and the crushability, stiffness & resilience of each car part. FYI, once you've altered the cars from my release versions, you won't be able to use those in CarMODgeddon Multiplayer, as that will cause a data mis-match.
If you'd like to use a different engine sound, you can change that in the vehicle_setup.cfg, however you can only use the stock/official engine sounds, As far as I know, custom engine sounds cannot be added at this time.

Maybe include the Rig O Mortis rims with the Moth Truck ?

I like the video and especially the intro, its rare that you see nice intro video these days :]
Also is the trailer heavy enough ? It seems that the truck stopped pretty easily.

I wasn't planning on adding the Rig O Mortis Wheels as an option. The new version of the '72 Moth Truck does have 6 more sets of wheels (Stock & Custom wheels from several new trucks) over the last release.

Thanks :)Hey nice work '80s Time Warp.

With regards to mass, the Hexagon Tanker weighs in at 14000 Kg, versus the U Got Gas Tanker at 8000 Kg. I might take another look at the brake force values, I was under the impression that those were an absolute deceleration torque, but it could also done per unit of mass, which would make the brakes considerably stronger when a vehicle/trailer possesses a higher mass.
Also for reference, some of the other trailers for '72 Moth Truck:
- Single axle dry van - 7000 Kg
- Dual axle flatbed with detachable container - 18000 Kg (container reduces trailer mass by 1/2 when detached)
- Dual axle dry van (mobile trap) - 10000 Kg

EDIT: A little teaser of the 'Regulation' Semi Trailer set that will be used in Part III.
There could be even more trailers by the time these see release, depending on when CarMODgeddon gets expanded.

Uncle Jessie is still trying to feed cheese to his computer mouse.
Damn all I am at is a few squares you can see thru on my map. You guys are making me feel so old with your young ideas and your video games.
Makes me think of the kids on ST TNG who are complaining about taking advanced math courses on warp theory while I am trying to find out what a trapezoid is. Hmmmm Trapezoids. :P
Nice work. And You whippersnappers get off of my lawn !

Since Part II (Vigilante 8 Rebuilds) is essentially done now, focus has shifted back to big rigs. As such, here's something else I've been working on that might make it into Part III with all of the other trucks.

Unsurprisingly, that was almost my exact thought on the truck hehe.Wow, that chunk of metal on the front is hardcore! Well nice rust n weathering detail, that monster pulling up in the rear view would give anyone a heart attack!Those V8's too! Proper rad stuff!
Thanks :) There's still plenty more content to come.
Thanks Alex. IRay certainly makes it look a whole lot prettier, plus it's far better (& quicker) than any Mental Ray render I was ever able to get out of 3dsmax.That truck's looking neat 80s Time Warp, iRay in substance painter sure is nice! I'm hoping to buy it for Maya soon to use it to its full potential, its a pity that it has sucha limited use in SP but alas, better than the preview :)

Also, I'm generally content with the adjustments I've made to the plow, so here's the modified structure.xml for the plow.
Custom Plow Structure
(Reconfigured Bucket Animation)
Key Features:
- - Relocated Bucket joint from the bucket to the Bucket Arm
- - Animated the hydraulic Rams attached to either side of the bucket
- - Re-enabled vehicle to vehicle collisions so the bucket can be used to lift/push/fling other vehicles in certain conditions
Download
NOTE: Download only contains the structure.xml

Furthermore, I am going to to update all vehicles, including those from "Attack of the V8s Part 1" so that they will make use of PBR-derived textures for their exterior 'paint'. However, as there is currently an issue with GibbedTools screwing with the quality of normal maps, that might delay the release. With this in mind, my to-do list just got a lot longer.

EDIT: Progress is slow, but the process of replacing paint textures with PBR derived material is under-way. Here's a comparison of the old & new setup on the Hevy Impalers stock paint scheme.
NOTE: Normal maps are still screwed up, so there are a lot of unwanted artifacts creating an almost digital camouflage ripple effect in the paint.

I've found a temporary workaround to the normal map issue, using Gibbed.Duels.TdxConvert.exe directly to convert the normal maps without any compression. This way, I can at least get a look at what the cars should look like once the issues with the normal map conversions have been resolved. So, here are some more before and after paint comparisons, this time for the Blood Riviera. This also serves as a good comparison of the light textures & the shader/s that are/were being used.

New Paint:

Additionally the Callahan Cab, Hevy Impaler, Hick Pickup & Leadpumper have come together nicely. Asides from possibly softening the base metal finish on the paintwork, these are mostly final.

Will the stuff have any "notice ability" with Nvidia cards ?
I think the bus signs should say "Floor the pedal when lights flash" but I would want to avoid any future lawsuits :P
Nice exhaust look in the first "spoiler number 6" at the back of the bus

Thanks Starbuck, I'm not sure what you mean by "Notice ability" with Nvidia Cards, could you clarify that for me?On those previous truck picture I OD notice the chrome on the gas tanks for example reflect better. Looks nice. Chrome and glass materials were my favorite texture since T2. One reason my first 3D modeling tools were from a box with a toaster reflection on the box. Bought it , the hell with the rent :PWill the stuff have any "notice ability" with Nvidia cards ?
I might have to change the decals on one of the paint jobs to that, hehe.I think the bus signs should say "Floor the pedal when lights flash" but I would want to avoid any future lawsuits :PNice exhaust look in the first "spoiler number 6" at the back of the bus
The only worthwhile progress for now is that the tires for Big Dump R have been updated, again. These will be the final ones going forward.
Also, just for the sake of it - "Warning: World Accessories can be closer and more Dangerous than they appear!"
Otherwise, the specular maps for the paint materials on all vehicles & trailers have been re-exported, as there was something I hadn't done correctly. Tire & wheel textures (for the handful of wheels that use PBR-derived textures), also need the same tweaks. Once that is cleared, the PBR derived texture overhaul is complete and I can start moving forward with the extra cars for Part I to go with the update.

Short Answer:
When compared to the official vehicles, all of my vehicles typically take up less space, as texture usage and triangle count on my cars is generally* lower across the board. If you can run the base content fine, then there should be no issues with my vehicles.
Long (and boring) Answer:
Excluding alternate paint jobs and their associated normal & specular maps, the texture size on disk required by my each of my vehicles is generally* around 60-66 megabytes. This is comparable or considerably less than most of the official cars. For reference, this the texture size on disk for some of the official vehicles (also excluding alternate paint jobs):
- APC - 90.7 Mb
- Eagle R - 133 Mb
- Hevy Impaler - 71 Mb
- Lumberer - 136 Mb
- Plow - 181 Mb
- Rig O Mortis- 143 Mb
- Squad Car / CU:NT - 41 Mb
- Volkswerker - 146 Mb
Granted, some of my vehicles have up to four different paint finishes, each with their own normal/specular maps. Despite this, file size on disk is still generally lower than the official vehicles.
* - Applies to all of my vehicles, except for Big Dump R & two other heavyweight vehicles that have 4K Textures

Custom Plow Structure V1.1
(Reconfigured Bucket Animation)
V1.1 Updates:
- - Fixed the infinite repair loop
- - Tweaked angles of the joint so the bucket can drop down lower
This allows the bucket to get under cars a little easier - - Added Ganged breaks to Bucket Arm, so the rams should break off when the bucket arm does
Download
NOTE: Download contains the structure.xml & one model part. Both items must be installed or the game will crash.
_______________________________________________________
Also, going forward, the plan is to build two new vehicles to go with the update to "Attack of the V8s Part I". Once the update for Part I is out, "Attack of the V8s Part II: Vigilante 8 rebuilds" will also be released, but this will be without the custom trailers for the '72 Moth Truck, unless the modding mode has been expanded by then.
In the mean time, here's a preview of the almost complete Hevy Sonoma Stocker.
The second vehicle, code named 'Hone My Hill Cave' will be going into production soon.
