Teneksi's Vehicle Development — NEW CAR: Jacket's Car Released

[Cool Blockhead]

Those roads you used, the curves. Can you send a link to that and that road map?!?

They are the curves that go with Siba's Advanced Roads. They are unfinished.

But.. but Eksi the shader switcher was mine :c

[Death The Kid]

I think that might be a private add-on, good luck getting that from him.

I've seen those roads before, It looks like he maybe edited Advanced Roads brick addon.. I have Advanced Roads. I just like those curves...

Ah I thought so..

Very sorry about that, I needed to release it for less awful shadows on the Chevy's sides, but I had no leads (especially not my own memory) on who gave it to me. Port couldn't remember whether he did or not.

I've made a new poll about the windshield slope on Jacket's car.

This is a problem I've noticed since before I knew how to model:


the windshield on this car is not very long.



This is particularly strange when you compare it to the back window.



Before I make any changes, I'd like to see what the general opinion is about this:


Should I keep the original top-down ratio, and leave it at the angle it is now?
This isn't a particularly ugly look, and it would be accurate to what is depicted from above (the only reference for what the car should look like)


OR

Should I translate a particularly convenient cluster of vertices back by 0.5?
This results in a sportier, longer windshield, which does not sacrifice head room, but does sacrifice some degree of accuracy to the game.

Please package OptionsDlg::setShaderQuality in your shader add-on. As of now it reverts the shaders to normal, which breaks that shader screenshot add-on.

I can't do it

ZSNO did this, I don't really script things, so I have a really vague idea of what you want but I don't know where to put it and I don't want to spend the time to figure it out. You should do that and post the fix.

Yeah, I'll just do it. Gimme a minute.

I'd go with the second version.

You should take out that echo on line 80
Anyway thanks for making my script I threw together forever ago more compatible.

Door animations and translucent materials have not gone at all well. I'll be moving on to a different vehicle, and will return to Jacket's car when I get more information about using animation threads alongside steering and brakelight without screwing them up.

I tried this on my coronet and it forgeted up steering and brakelight on it :(
