gm_tornadohighway - Tornado chasing in Garry's Mod - Developers

Can't wait for this!

[QUOTE=Rory;34216778]Not without ruining the integrity of the displacements around it. Can't make them small enough to hold to the pipe already as it is. The world would poke through it, there will be gaps, etc.[/QUOTE] oh ok then, nice work though keep it up :)

[QUOTE=confinedUser;34312649]oh ok then, nice work though keep it up :)[/QUOTE] I'll at least give it a shot on a test map, to at least say I tried. Thanks for the feedback! [u][b]PROGRESS VIDEO 3[/u][/b] HAS BEEN RELEASED - Tornado demonstration. View it here: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tf45A3Xa18[/url]

Just watched the video good stuff man!

I am loving how the map looks now. Very, -very- nice. And the lightning is great too. The tornadoes look amazing. Especially the F5. Keep up the awesome work, man. I can't wait to play this online with some bros.

This map looks to be the best map I have ever seen in Garry's Mod. I think out of all the tornadoes the F5 has to be my favourite but I think the f1 looks the coolest. Great job. Good luck looking forward to the release.

I still think this map hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. It has to be one of the best ones out there. Also: does anyone smell a new type of sortaRP, or is it just me? I am just uber stoked to play this online.

For some reason this map is way better than Tornadochase, and I'm more excited for it.

[QUOTE=flamester370;34280098]Rory I have a question, How big will the suck zone be (Not the technical term.)? And how much force will the suck zone have?[/QUOTE] Its the point....basically at which the twister....sucks you up.

This will definitely outdo the Weather Mod. [B]EDIT: Why wouldn't it? Have you even seen the development videos?[/B] [IMG]http://i42.tinypic.com/29xf7gl.jpg[/IMG]

I feel that the only thing this amazing map is missing is a good skybox. I get a lot of tornados where I live, and the sky's usually a pretty eerie shade of green or purple or any of those fucked up colors, with some pretty wicked cloud formations. Do you have a skybox made for it/them? If you don't, I'll be happy to whip a few up in Terragen or some other program like this. It must be my OCD bothering me, but I really feel like the map will have a chunk of realism taken from it if the skybox doesn't fit. Other than my complaining, the map's looking amazing. Keep at it!

i love the lightning and rain. Makes me almost miss them.

Just do what I do. >>use BOTH Weathermod and these maps for combined awesome fun [though the tornadoes from weathermod do not look/act anywhere near as good as Vman/Rory's] I once somehow made it so that it was dark as nighttime, I was at the farm house there were two tornadoes out [one weathermod and the map's tornado] and I couldn't see anything except the lightning backlighting the tornadoes. Was... pretty freaking awesome. Then it hit the house and I died. And I agree for the most part on the skybox, it's... not threatening enough. It works well enough for me, but it might need changed. I like how it looks now, reminds me a lot of the atmosphere of the final chase in Twister, but it's all up to you, man. And one thing I love about this map VS tornadochase: there are no utility poles every 5 feet.

I downloaded TDM's car packs and this Dodge Ram was included. [IMG]http://i41.tinypic.com/35k9axf.jpg[/IMG]

I am currently trying to get a exact year model of the dodge ram 2500 from the movie I have the model but I can't texture or make it driveable because I don't know how to do it so if you want it to bring it into gmod. Pm me and I will send the model to you in .max format on one condition: That it is released to the public.

Here's what I'll be using for now. Kiiiindanotreally the Jeep. But it works perfectly! The probe fits in the back perfect. [IMG]http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x122/ToanPwnz/2012-01-19_00001.jpg[/IMG]

I still can't believe how dark that old map was... The new one is MUCH brighter... haha.

[QUOTE=OvB;34352296]Looks like a Bronco.[/QUOTE] It's actually the GMC/Chevy Silverado ripoff from L4D. It works pretty well chasing, other than it likes to slide all over the place.

[IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/12361ie.jpg[/IMG] Here's the .rar file link so you can convert it, more pictures are included: [URL=http://www.mediafire.com/?8o6uagwt9eb3l7d]http://www.mediafire.com/?8o6uagwt9eb3l7d[/URL] [B]EDIT:[/B] I was just using 'PrtScrn' to take screenshots, but they pasted over each other, so you can see the picture under it at the top, sorry. [B]EDIT II:[/B] As a side note, someone should duplicate the probe.

I wish there was an accurate Dodge Ram model out there. It was a club cab, 8 foot long box V10 with those clearance lights on the cab. [url]http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=2082[/url] I'll ask around my modeling friends... As for the probe, it's easy. Wire a speedometer to a radio, then wire another radio to a screen. It works with both radios and two-way radios. I just use a button to flip the lights/indicators on. I'll make it a little nicer looking and then upload it.

Is it close to release?

I just need someone who can texture and rig. I have all the textures I just don't know how to apply them they look messed up and out of place.

[QUOTE=napalm_bomb;34359956]Is it close to release?[/QUOTE] Weeks at the most. I'm making a warehouse right now, then I've got to make the area less "flat", while still keeping the "midwest flatness" feeling. After that, I have to touch up the 3d skybox (which is going to be a pain in the ass because I did it last and not first...) and then I just have to bug-test it. All the tornadoes and special effects are already in.
