[QUOTE=badger130;37826608]The more advanced you become in the build community the more you tend to just search for the props you know you want, I have a few folders for useful build props, but I've never used them.[/QUOTE]
Guess I'm just not that advanced.
[QUOTE=MrWhite;37820566]Nice and schmoove.
Only thing I'd say about it is that it's a tad skinny, but that might just be me.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I think your right. It could be just a little bit wider. Oh well, it doesn't look too bad.
Still needs interior, Bigger velocity stacks and a few other bits.

Engine could do with a little smoothing

That sound is crazy. Maybe modulate the volume of the sound based on throttle input?

Thank you sir. You just gave me a brilliant idea. Volume could be based on the amount of engine load
A friend of mine and I are running a good European server for building, but we need more people to build
on it.
Got all necessary building tools, removed limit on broadband so that server lag is limited, stricktly no
mingebags allowed, good builders environment, ULX.... list is long. We also take requests on addons if
any good ones are missed.

Could you give some basic tips on what are the main differences in constructing a hydraulic engine compared to construction of a thruster engine?
I really want to build one but I have no idea how to actually do it. ^^

Gun is not moving at all and cam controller looks totally wrong way. What did i do wron?. I linked Barrel to gun, Pod to advanced pod controller, Cam to cam controller and i didnt link the Turret because my td does not have turret

I use a basic thruster engine E2 that gets timing from a GPS. Instead of outputting thruster force values, you output length values of hydraulics. The hydraulics can be either attached directly from the engine body to the crankshaft or from the engine body to pistons which drive the crankshaft.
So when the hydraulic reaches it's shortest length. You then want the hydraulic to lengthen to the maximum length it travels around the crank. These values can be overshot to a certain extent to give more power, but too large values can become unstable.
I control the throttle by increasing and decreasing the hydraulic constant.
It's kinda hard to explain in text. I am definitely not the best at engines but I will try to make a tutorial
Here is one of the E2s that I use. Might help getting you started
Min and Max is the length of the hydraulic at it's longest and shortest.
[CODE]@name HEngine1
@inputs GPS:vector On Throttle Min Max Divider
@outputs Cyl1 Cyl2 Cyl3 Cyl4 RPM Constant Sound
@persist Bearing
@trigger all
interval(1)
RPM=abs(entity():angVel():yaw()/6)
Bearing=entity():bearing(GPS)
Constant = ((3000-RPM)*(Throttle)*On)
Sound=RPM/Divider
if(Bearing>-180&Bearing<0){Cyl1=Min}else{Cyl1=Max}
if(Bearing>-90&Bearing<90){Cyl2=Min}else{Cyl2=Max}
if(Bearing>-180&Bearing<0){Cyl3=Max}else{Cyl3=Min}
if(Bearing>-90&Bearing<90){Cyl4=Max}else{Cyl4=Min}
[/CODE]
Hydrostatic drive. That's what hydraulic engines behave like. Boatloads of torque. I don't really consider them engines.
Also lol@reaperscripts, love dat name. And FUCK YOU STEAM, stop SENDING SHIT TO MY EMAIL I DON'T WANT YOUR SPECIAL ACCESS CODE GODDAMMIT KAHSDKLFJAHSDLKJFAHSDFLKJhFUCKYOU!

I'm not sure if I'm the only one having it this way but I always look at thruster engines and hydraulic engines as irl petrol and diesel engines. thruster engines look nicer and usually a bit more effort has to go into them (stabilizing the pistons, I never got that right). Hydraulic engines are a bit more like diesel. There's no funky moving pistons, just an endless amount of torque.

Power wise that works but it takes more effort to build an IRL diesel than it does an IRL otto.
Personally, if/when I build a Gmod engine, I do one for shits and giggles. I never have been able to get one to power a car properly.

A smaller truck I've been working on for awhile. I had an older version that I made which was a hideous shade of purple... Decided to revamp the design and here we are. Quite happy with the results.
Looks simple but neat and tidy. I would choose something lighter than black though. A black colour in Source usually just ends up with making it look shoddy because all angles and such are just lost and you got a big black blob. Maybe a really dark grey, so that you can still see the angles and curves but you still get a dark colour?

However I do want to do like a Dark Blue to it. :>
that, is a very nice truck.
Indeed, but yeah, the colour should be brighter, can't really tell if there's anything wrong about it because it's so dark.
Reminds me of a first-gen Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10. I take it there's a four pot under the hood?
I will be working on it some more. :v: The rally car has undergone just a few changes, and I'll put up a video of it's time trial. Maybe. We shall see.
I like the truck because I like simple, clean, low-prop contraptions. And I like trucks.

It's about 250 props total... so I need to do some cleanup on the prop count.

Do you have a link for that dyno by any chance? The only link I can find is dead :(
