Car construction map. - Developers

Haven't really mapped in a long time and i just recently formated my harddrive. I was bored so i thought i would have a go at mapping something and i decided to do something like gm_vehiclestruct or whatever it was called. I've been going for an hour or so. Progress: [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/jk9092.jpg[/IMG] Sorry for the tiny picture and low quality by the way. I'm on my laptop. I'm going to do a 3d skybox when it's done and i'll probably end up making it bigger also to fit for a good road and roadbumps and whatnot.

Nice, you should make some form of REALISTIC track for car testing and racing and whatnot. A fenced O circuit would do nicely.

I'm not really sure what you mean by a realistic track for car testing but i suppose you just mean a big road shaped as a circle. Am i right?

And yeah, I was kind of thinking to have a bunch of test tracks and stuff for different kinds of cars.

[QUOTE=laptopman;18429469]blendmodulates please.[/QUOTE] I'm sorry. What? Never mind. I found it. Actually, I just took one from another texture and added to mine. But i really don't see a difference. Edit: I fixed the texture a bit. I think it looks quite good. [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/2rh4o6e.jpg[/IMG]

Looks good! I think you should add some kind of 'edge' to the track sides, like just a 5 unit high/wide brush on either side. So it looks a bit like the sides of the track Gunski posted.

Small update. Just added a few lights to the inside of the big garage / hall / whatever. [IMG]http://i48.tinypic.com/j8zjex.jpg[/IMG] OH GOD. Just realised that the lights were completely of on the other side. :v: It's fixed now anyway. Anyway. About that border thing. I won't do this on the track on the picture because it's going to be to much work. But ill do it on one of the others with that in mind from the beginning. Edit: Another update.

Looks awesome! I hope it keeps going as good as it is, because Vehicle Construct is getting really old.

Another update. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/25aowhw.jpg[/IMG] There are some lighting issues. I'll try to work those out.

cool ! the first version isnt good but now I like it very much ! is beta up on garrysmod org ?

Nope. Not yet. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/70x846.jpg[/IMG] Not really sure on what to add though. Suggestions?

Garages to build in, maybe some car frames like in Test track, maybe a jump or two, a cliffed road. Stuff like that to make it more interesting.

What do you mean by car frames?

An indoor area would be good, like a full indoor racetrack, and garages.

[QUOTE=kp3;18456973]What do you mean by car frames?[/QUOTE] I think he means like empty brush hulls that you can fit wheels, seats and stuff on. I'd suggest some kind of rocky hill/mountain that you can drive rock-climbers up. also, I'd say change the skybox. I know it's just me, but that lighting is too gloomy. Same thing with Snabbans Airfield map, I couldn't keep building on it because of the lightning. Thanks, Pelf. First time I get that wrong :frown: But yeah, ever played Snabbans airfield? There's LIGHTNING EVERYWHERE!

Add Nurbürgring

[QUOTE=kp3;18456973]What do you mean by car frames?[/QUOTE] Like the Test Track maps have, there are the basic chassis for the cars, where you can build a body onto, engine, wheels, etc...

Actually, i kind of like the train station lighting but ill experiment a bit with it. Also, I don't really understand why you would want car-frames put into the map. I mean, What is wrong with using props like everyone else does? I'll consider it. [editline]08:02AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Root Beer;18460257]Add Nurbürgring[/QUOTE] Wat

you should add some EXTREME JUMPS!

[QUOTE=Root Beer;18460257]Add Nurbürgring[/QUOTE] A massive, tough racing track. Goes for over 20km. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C3%BCrburgring]Link[/url] Also, map looks great. I agree with a rocky track, and some jumps. It'd make it a great map.

You could probably do some sort of layering, but it would be tough.

something like this would be nice. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/2rcon47.jpg[/IMG]

An oval is like "0" :/ oval = Stretched circle

[QUOTE=-Xemit-;18468158]Add a oval track with banked turns around it. Not like "0" but a circle.[/QUOTE] Like. Uh. A circle track that is raised around the edges. So that you can turn easier?

:dong:

[QUOTE=leontodd;18474799]:dong:[/QUOTE] What the fuck is the point of that, fucking attention seeker. Nice map, when's the release date?
