Author Topic: More GOOD cars!  (Read 1311 times)

I feel like while some vehicles are improving in quality, i feel like there should be more. The Explorer or the Venom I think are the best vehicles so far. But the Venom's brakes are a little to sensitive to my liking but I fixed that by editing the script a little. The newer version of the Blockstang is awesome except for the fact that the hands are positioned hella wack. More vehicles like these would be awesome. I really want to see a car with the same script as the Explorer (attributes wise) except modeled like a Chevy Tahoe or Suburban.
These are just my opinions/suggestions that I'm putting out there for support/help.

P.S. If anyones interested in possibly doing any vehicles more specifically the Tahoe or Suburban...I'd be more than happy to model the body of the car. I'm not too good with the interior and I don't know how to do wheels/tires, steering wheels, suspension or brake lights

I think we have too many cookie-cutter cars.

That's basically my point....

Once I get through online coding, building cars will be my first job. Already can model well on Sketchup just need to figure Blender.

I am very skilled with Sketch Up and Inventor, but I don't think either of them have the gaming capabilities of Blender.

The only time Ive ever seen a vehicle used in a meaningful manner would be speed carts and the default ball.
Every other time, a vehicle is just spawned there to be seen and that's it. It adds nothing to the server but serves as something for the kids to play with for a few minutes.

Why do we even need more vehicles?

people use that?

I made a topic once to explain about that, oh yeah here it is

In real life for example, you have thousands of different cars from different car brands to choose from, sedans, hatches, SUVs, all of those, you choose what you like the most right? You could be aiming for a sedan, like the Ford Fusion, you buy it, or you like a Sedan from Nissan, You buy it, and I'm just adding more variety to the ammount of vehicles in Blockland, just like real life have, and that could go with all of those different weapon packs you can choose from, also speaking of vehicles let's just say that you want a hatchback from the 80's, you could use the Volks, if you want to have a modern hatchback, go for the Club, you always wanted to have the corvette, there is the Dominator, or you always wanted a Charger in BL, there is the Charger, I'm just making vehicles for people who enjoys having them, you might like any of them maybe, like your favorite car might be some sport car that you always wanted to see in the game and you could see me doing it in the near future and releasing it on RTB for people like you to have fun.

I'm basicly adding more variety of vehicles to choose from for Blockland, hatches, sport cars, sedans (I will make more for sure), vans, compacts and that's not a bad thing, I enjoy making vehicles and release them and see people having fun, I'm not forcing you to download them anyhow
So yeah basicly, it's variety, I mean of course I would love to make some more original vehicles that have an unique function built-in (which I'm also working on it with the customization support, hands on steering wheel, and upcoming advanced car sounds) but I'm making those vehicles because there is a decent ammount of the community which likes cars to drive around, I get suggestions for more everyday because most of them wants to see their beloved favorite car in the game to drive around and have fun, for example look at Bushido's weapon pack, there is different pistols, SMGs, shotguns, sniper rifles and others, and what you do most of the time? You choose what you like the most, and the one that you're most used to it

You can always have different uses for vehicles, you can do racing, use them on movie making, death races, spawn on deatchmatch maps for quick response, or just for the sake of driving and having fun, also nobody is forcing you to download those vehicles, you can always avoid downloading any of them, same thing goes with all of those weapon packs, and please don't think that I'm trying to start an argument on this topic because that's the thing I'm trying to avoid the most right now

I think after all the practical vehicles are made, people are happy and tend to wear away from them. Then there are people like me, who just want a huge collection of real life vehicles exclusively for style.

@OP: All of the (non-modded) cars I make/will be making use the most realistic vehicle physics possible with BLockland; coasting, no sudden stops, very few extreme launches into the air, so on and so forth. I'm basically aiming for the same thing you are; cars that are less like toys and more like cars. However, some people seem to shy away from this, which I think is weird.

Well for instance, physics are an engine thing, you might try to reduce it's glitches but most of them are impossible to fix unless Badspot updates the engine for better physics

I know this already...? That's why I said the most realistic physics possible with Blockland.

I'm just saying dude, you might have a hard time trying to make it more realistic

Well sure you can do all that with vehicles.
I'm just saying that it is never actually done with them.

It just annoys me seeing all these nice looking vehicles that people put effort into that I know nobody is going to use correctly.
