Hi pure, welcome to the forum. Anything you can contribute will be great. Enjoy your stay. @R6, that car might possibly look hotrod style if you use the current back as a front, and move the spoiler to the other side. ZR |

Yeah thanks, sounds good... Now I'm deciding between Mantis or Beluga. And, what do you mean with fanning out a bit? Thanks. |

Fanning like one of those Japanese folding fans that are hinged at the bottom. So he means instead of just having it parallel with the body, make it a bit bigger at the opening...kinda like a saxophone...to exaggerate it's 'hotroddedness', so to speak. ![]() And welcome, RV_Pure. Have fun, but don't eat all the cookies. :lol: |

@Zip, i think ill make a other version, but hotrod like. This will be in the higher classes so... A shit old car like Mantis/Beluga will be Rookie, as it looks pretty... slow, like a snail, as Nero said. @Mystic, thank you for the explanation, I might do that indeed. What is your opinion about this mod? As you know, its a sort of a sequel of revolt, but with differences in cars and tracks.

Oh boy, now you've done it...you've gone and asked me for my 'opinion'. :lol: Well, I think this is a fine idea. I further believe it will be a great community project that a lot of people will have a good time with...which is exactly why I've been largely staying away from it. ![]() I don't want to get 'involved' because I don't want to take it over. This is your project, and one that you have chosen to share with the community...and I think that's great. You've got people here wanting to do parameters, build the cars in a 3D modeler, skin them, do car boxes...and I don't want to take any of that away from them. So instead I would however, like to offer whatever assistance I may in the form of opinions, tips on 3D modeling or skinning, parameters, and maybe just an occasional humorous quip or two. ![]() If no one steps up for this though, I'll offer to do lighting, pickup and object placement, AI nodes, fog (an important part of the overall atmosphere) and replay cameras for any custom tracks that are made...and possibly [size0](probably) texture adjustment.

Well here you go, then... ![]() In regard to ideas for new cars...just how many cars do you plan to have in this thing? Are you going to fill each of the classes with new custom cars? If so, then perhaps place the wackier themed cars in the rookie class and have them get progressively more 'serious' as you go up in class. Just a thought. ![]() As for thinking up new types of cars, I would suggest starting with a basic characteristic and making sure you have a good mix of different vehicles with noticably different handling characteristics. So something like a slow, heavy one, one that is fast, but unstable in the turns, something light and skittery such as various types of buggys, that kind of thing. You could even just start playing with some names in your head. Let's see what happens if I open up the creative gates a little bit... ![]() Ballbuster - Hard to describe what I'm seeing in my head...think about that Batmobile that looks like a tank, but carrying a huge weight. Kinda like a futuristic hauler...super heavy, can push just about anything around. Blowerstein - Monster truck with exaggerated blowers Blowfish - Think play on words. This one could have a big blower and like to fishtail around corners. Bumpersnake Popcorn WarHammer - Can a spinner be made to swing a hammer with the new translation options? I haven't looked into them too much yet, but something to think about, perhaps. ![]() Scoupe deVille - Has a scoop almost like a front loader or steam locomotive's cow catcher than can get under vehicles and push them out of the way. This actually works great as an offensive 'weapon'. You just push your blade under one of the wheels of an opponent's car and they go right out of control. Try it with my Blade Skimmer...it's fun. ![]() Something else to think about is that there are many under-utilized elements in Re-Volt. I don't see hardly anyone making use of spinners, for instance. There are some SERIOUSLY cool things that can be done with spinners, that just haven't been done yet. As one example, I'll go ahead and give out one of the ideas I've been keeping in the vault until I had time to make use of it... My idea was to use a spinner to basically recreate the 'eye' effect as seen on KITT [size0](I think that has two 't's) from Knight Rider or the eye on the cylons from Battlestar Galactica. My thought was to place the glowing eye on a wheel-type object that spun around and poked out through a hole in the front of the body. As it spun around it would look like the eye was sweeping across. You could possibly even pure black everything but the glow. If it turns out anything like what I'm seeing in my head, it should be pretty cool. ![]() So that's one idea...some kind of futuristic robot-headed cylon-type car with a mean-looking cyclops eye. I think I'll be making something like that in any case, but I throw it out there to hopefully spark your creative juices into thinking of new ways to use the existing tools at our disposal. ![]() And a final thought...does a car always have to look like a car? Here is a screenshot of the Carmera I've kind of put on the backburner. The idea behind this one is "What would happen if I took Gamera (the Japanese turtle monster with jet-powered propulsion) and melded him with a car?" Yeah, sadly I do actually think about such things. :wacko:

When I say "fanning out" I mean the ends of the pipes protrude outwards sideways from the car, just the tips, and only by a little. |

@mystic, Nice ideas about the spinners etc, ofcourse I'm going to make cars that are going to have spinners. You suggested also that the cars in the rookie class are more wacky than in Pro class. This isn't really the case in Re-volt, except that you see when going higher in classes the cars are getting more sportier indeed. But yeah, I like the idea of Ballbuster the most. It does remind me of Bertha Ballistics. But to be honest I'm not really for the idea to make moving hammers, screwdrivers whatever, I'm not going to make it like Carmageddon. You can try some HG's cars (Carma pack). But RV has more sportcars than buggies or monster trucks, and I'm with the idea to insert a bit more buggies in LiveVolt, especially in the higher classes! So yeah, thanks for the tips Mystic, and your turtoise does look really good! Resume it! @The_harvester, thanks for that! I'll put it! |

Actually, I've noticed that the cheaper and less powerful RC cars in real life tend to have more outlandish designs than their sporty, ultra-sophisticated $200 cousins. ![]() vs. ![]() Note that this isn't a rule, as cheaper cars can be realistic and vice versa, But it might be cool to emulate that fact. Maybe go all out with the weird designs in the rookie and amateur classes, and get really sophisticated in the pro classes. Just food for thought. |

first i've to say is: nice project R6 i like the idea of an fresh game built out an old one the cars are looking good keep up the good work ;D second i would say that you should maybe bring some other RCs into the game than buggys or the F1 i know that i had an DTM Mercedes and a kind of SUV as one of my first RCs maybe that helps you to get some more ideas for Live-Volts garage. they could be rookies because stock RCs for childs aren't that fast ![]() |

@everybody, thank you for the comments, I appreciate them. Actually im working on a new track now, specially for Re-Volt and LiveVolt. It will be a sort of a... haunted town, where everything is broken etc. I can't tell much, as its on 2% now. When I'm getting further, pics will come, no doubt. |
