So I got bored one day, and decided to mess around with some L4D2 and make edit the Longnose truck so I could use it for the CEDA Trailer. In the process of editing, a friend of mine, Slade Skox, pointed out how what I currently had seemed a lot like the Vigilante 8 1972 Moth Truck that Convoy drives. With this said, I had new motivation to recreate the famous truck and with a few edits here, a few deletes here and a bunch of cursing and yelling. I give you the 1972 Moth Truck from Vigilante 8.
No, the whole point of this is recreating the Vigilante 8 vehicles. (we are working on more than just the truck) So the weapons that will be put on the truck will be consistent with the old game.
Yeah, I’m Currently working on the 1970 Clydesdale. So they are going to look different, but they are gonna have the same kind of style as well as the weapons. same style weapons, but upgraded to look nicer.
Vigilante 8 simply is the best game ever in my opinion, I can boot it up today and still play it for hours without getting bored.
but to answer your question, for now they are props, but I’ll talk with cookie about making them drivable. If neither of us are able to do it, we could release the cars to the community and let someone else make them into drivable vehicles.
Also in other news, I’m currently trying some basic weapon designs. Behold the new Clydesdale.
Yeah I plan on fixing that much later when the time comes to turn these into drivable vehicles, or after I have finished the rest of the V8 vehicles.
It’s surprising how well L4D vehicles fit for V8 cars, i mean of course, some cars will have to be from other sources, most notably the Manta (the corvette). But as for Moth Truck and Clydesdale, L4d2 vehicles Work. Now the only other vehicle I think I can make is the V8 Cover art Bus from L4D2 cars.
You would be surprised how hard it is to find decent and accurate models of the V8 cars.
