No there's going to be some striped versions as well to go with the other paint schemes.

I see this truck mod and the trailers and I have but one thing to say.
Convoy skin for the trailer or GTFO.
[QUOTE=noobcake;21103131]I see this truck mod and the trailers and I have but one thing to say.

Lots more skins currently in the works. the trucks will have 19 each with a furthur 6 slots for additional textures to be added by other people.
The box trailer will have the same set as the trucks: 19 plus 6 extra slots.
The tanker will have 8 skins plus 4 extra slots as there are less good variations to do on it.
cant wait for it to be done!
a "meh" update....

What's up with the road being all blocky?
Ok I think that's it's time for a release. I will start uploading the pack to garrysmod.org soon, hopefully this will be officially released in a few hours.

im having problems doing your lil hotkey thing
what is an EXACT console bind using "-" as the hand brake release?
and can i bind something to use the ent_setname trailer? cause i tried doing it and the code you put on the download page, i cant get it working.
[QUOTE=w0lf_inuyash;21131184]im having problems doing your lil hotkey thing

To use '-' you would enter [code]bind "-" "ent_fire trailer handbrakeoff"[/code] Any key should work but if it doesn't then try with a letter key.
[QUOTE=w0lf_inuyash;21131184]and can i bind something to use the ent_setname trailer? cause i tried doing it and the code you put on the download page, i cant get it working.[/QUOTE]
Do you mean like [code]bind "-" "ent_setname trailer"[/code] It might work.
Also any more questions regarding the trucks should be on the release thread, this one is now back to just the Dodge Charger and my machinima.

OH you didnt put the quotations on the codes you put on the release thread...so i didnt think of it. im sure that will work, thanks.
over all its epic! was thinking about that "e" thing making you crash, id say make it e to release the brakes and such, but aslong as we have the codes. =P epic work man, cant wait to see the charger now!
[QUOTE=w0lf_inuyash;21131769]OH you didnt put the quotations on the codes you put on the release thread...so i didnt think of it. im sure that will work, thanks.[/quote]
it's optional, you don't have to use the quotation marks on the key but it can sometimes solve the problem if it's not working.

Well it's just that the triailer doesn't have the necessary attachments and hitboxes to allow you to enter properly and it can sometimes cause a crash. Also if you get into it yes the brakes release but then as soon as you get back into it again they would engage again. Unless you mean some sort of lua script that changes the 'use' command to disengage the brakes rather than make you enter.

^^ this.
so how much of closer is the charger to being done??
[QUOTE=FireBird;21155693]so how much of closer is the charger to being done??[/QUOTE]
not for a while.
theres still more cars MC's doin before he continues the charger. i say good, the more practice means even more precision, of what the charger will be.
also, im about to put this in the release thread for the trucks, but my freind uploaded the semi's to the server he runs, and we turned sv cheats on and tried to release the brakes on the trailers... its not working. has this allready been brought up? im starting to think a code that makes pressing "use" on the trailer release the brakes is a better solution. =/

Well now that I've actually released something for the community to play with I was going to try and finally make some more progress with my film, now that I've got the trucks I don't really need any new models for it so there shouldn't be any more delays to it.
[QUOTE=w0lf_inuyash;21156480]theres still more cars MC's doin before he continues the charger. i say good, the more practice means even more precision, of what the charger will be.[/quote]
Also this ^^, I agreed to do the Vigilante 8 vehicles which is still underway but after my film is done I will be doing a mixture of my Dodge Charger and finishing some more Vigilante 8 vehicles so you will start to see more model progress soon.
As Wolf already said I have been using these vehicles as extra practice to make my future vehicles better and it has paid off excellently, there are tons of things that i've learned in the process of making the trucks and V8 vehicles and there are many things that I've noticed with the charger that are in need of adjustment so I will get to that as soon as possible.
I'm going to take the Charger back a few steps and redo a lot of it, it looks very blocky from the rear end which is where you'll be seeing it for most of the time if you drive in 3rd person so I want to improve that first, this will involve changing the shape of the roof, rear fenders, lights area and bumper.
Secondly I would like to try adding that extra level of detail by improving the underside and engine as it's very basic at the moment. I may also try adding a modeled grill, this will probably be included in a separate bodygroup/LOD for performance reasons if I can manage that.
Finally I will be completely redoing the UV map as the previous one was [b]terrible[/b], I've also got some more practice with photoshop during the making of the other vehicles which should help to make the actual textures much better. I've also been researching more advanced techniques such as baked ambient occlusion maps and high poly normal maps and I can assure you I'm going to try to include all of that in this model as well.
still been lurking this thread
hope the model quality hasn't degraded as badly as the posting has
