Car Creation Wishlist

[JTK]

Whoa - I like the Holden Commodore! :-)

Both Montoya and Ambrose (old) cars are on this picture :

A nice one for Melange.

Hi,

Can someone please make a '12 Porsche 911 (991)? I tried it myself, but it didn't turn out too well.

Thanks!

What parts do you need help with?

Making a car is quite a lot of work, it's easier and more fun for everybody if you show the parts of your work you're running into trouble with so we can help you fix it. Every part of car creation has its experts present on this forum, and especially Duplode has been a great help on my kart project a while back. Maybe I even learned one or two things I can now pass on.

Anyway, welcome in the stunts community.

Thanks for your quick response.

I need help with the modeling; i find it hard to place the polygons. I've been playing Stunts for a few years now, and i play it's 'modern interpretation' TrackMania since 2004.
I think it's a shame all the cars available here are too old - not mentioning all we're getting is a picture, not even a download!
Wouldn't it be cool if the guys here (along with me) set out to 'facelift' Stunts? Or even make a new game with the graphics from 1990 (which, i think, are really good!)

Again, thanks for your response. (Are you Dutch?)

As long as you don't do anything that has a weight of 8000 pounds, an 800 HP engine and powergear in 4th and 5th gear, the Vantasy is mine. (Or should I call it turbotruck?)

Could you please post a link to that truck? (BTW: i've made a car - really! Check my topic!)

Jup, ben ik.

Actually, most cars in these topics are downloadable. They'll have either a zipped folder attached, or several loose files. If you download the CAR(name).res, the ST(name).3sh, the STDA(name).vsh and the STDB(name).vsh of a car and put all these in your stunts folder the cars should work.

Could you please post a link to that truck?

Actually, that one is even now still in the works. It's not that it's that much work, but well, I'm pretty lazy and don't always (uhum) feel like working on it. At least it doesn't have as much delay as the Melange 3D shape yet...

The body of that project is pretty much finished, but not copied into a bigger model yet, the driving behaviour is pretty good already, though I'm not sure if I'm happy with it yet, but the dashboard is still in its early stages. Also, after going through the working titles "Turbo Truck" and "Vantasy" it now goes under the name "Van Go", which seems like a lame enough pun to keep.

My one finished car project is that one, which is downloadable from that page and a legal contender in the zakstunts competition.

(BTW: i've made a car - really! Check my topic!)

I see, cool, I'll check it out.

That's the part of the editing I probably get the best, I'll take a look at your topic to see if I can give some tips.

There are quite a few Stunts sequel projects to be found arround the web, most don't really get completed. The problem with facelifting Stunts is going to be that the coding was done quite messy and the sourcecode has since been lost. We can change any 3D model or sprite in the game, but we can't make the game accept higher quality models and sprites. If you're interested in this stuff there is a thread called "disecting the stunts files", and wiki.stunts.hu has some good information on that kind of things.

Anyway, nice to hear we have a new modder in the group. Looking forward to driving your car.

To Overdrijf's excellent summary I will only add that...

I think it's a shame all the cars available here are too old - not mentioning all we're getting is a picture, not even a download!

... if you don't want to hop around scattered forum threads you can go to http://scr.stunts.hu/mods.php , where all of the "modern" custom cars are available for download. As for your custom car and its issues, I replied in that thread.

O hé, I didn't even know that page. I learn something every day.

Well, hard? It's quite a job, but i discovered that it isn't really hard. Thanks, by the way!

I'm surprised about the fact that nobody mentioned Subaru Impreza WRC so far. It's an iconic car in several racing games.

The raw version of the 3D model is more or less ready.

[Grijze Pilion]

May not be the most creative proposal, but what about a '13 SRT Viper?

I'd love to see an actual brand-new model in Stunts.

If we would have a realistic Viper in Stunta, nobody would ever complain again on the Countach steering

Have you ever tried a real Viper?

Some of the old Corvette's are also known for their crappy cornering.

[zaqrack]

no personal experience, but the real Viper is famous for its temper. (so is the Countach )
