Yeah I wasn't trying to get people to do those models from that description. - If someone wants to do a model, they need to talk to me first about how to do it.

I see, then i am of no help there. I cant model to a description to save my life. xD

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

I don't know where the DLL is from but you can just type in the name into Google and redownload it. xD

It'll depend on which model you wish to make. - It would of course have to be consistent with the models I already have and requires its own texture (i.e. not one just nabbed from internet resources) with alpha mapping (for the trees)

The checkpoint is probably the easiest model as it requires no special manipulation and just needs to look like one of these types.

ok. I found the dll... now what folder do I put it in? sorry to sound like a noob...

I wish to make a vehicle, looking at the models you have it looks like it's mostly solid colors, so I should be able to texture it myself just fine. I'm decent with models. I made the planet express ship from futurama

why do you need a check point? surly you can make one. (not trying to be rude or anything, it's just that it's a bis floaty thing)

I have no idea where that DLL goes. - You can just Google that too. xD

And I'm afraid you've rather missed my point:

We only need 3 more models made to finish WOR.
Those 3 models are - A dead tree, a swampy tree and a checkpoint.

We have no need for any other models.

I can model a checkpoint and did for the placeholder we're using in World Off Road, but it is just that: a placeholder. We need a properly modeled one. - This was going to be done by our modelling department but they all ran away.

what do you want the model to be .x .3ds what. i've got the checkpoint done, just need to export. i'll post a picture in a sec

EDIT:
This only has 96 tris with a baked normal and ao map. If you need it a little more high res i can make it easily

Lol, once again someone has failed to actually ask me the details of the checkpoint and has again done it wrong.

First off, I wanted a checkpoint - not a finish line.
Second, the checkpoint needs to show up on all the maps - a black checkpoint won't show up on the death zones.
Thirdly, why does it randomly say off road up the side? - I can't really read it properly so I doubt anyone in a car going past it could read it either.

Seriously - if someone wants to help, tell me and I'll give you all the details and discuss it all with you. xD - I don't just want random models.

It's a fairly well known saying where I come from too Ermes, I thought in Scotland too? You said it correctly in the right context.

I'm sure C0wbox didn't mean to be rude though.

EDIT: Incidentally C0wbox, where are you from in Scotland? My family are originally from Dumfries and Galloway (Wigtown to be precise)

Would you believe it's New Testiment? Not sure I do but even so it's been around in England (at least) since at least the days of the Tudors...

I must be getting old...
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth - Proverb origin

Summary: Old horses have long teeth so if someone gives you a horse don't assess it's value (age according to length of teeth) in front of them. It's kind of like checking the price tag on a present.

I'm sure you'll have heard the alternative version: "Beggars can't be choosers"?
EDIT: Not really appropriate in this case as you weren't asking for models just contact from someone willing to make some

Actually a quite nice model that pictionaryjr made! Just sad to think that C0wbox wont use it.

C0wobx, i dont mean to be rude to you but you seem pretty ungrateful towards the effort that was put into the models. I would have said to pictionaryjr how i would change it, not what was bad about it.

What do you think about this checkpoint? I just need to slap some tire texture on it.

@ charger bandit
That would be a good checkpoint but for the same reasons as the last one, a tire texture would be no good.

The checkpoints need to stand out and not blend in with any of the terrains. - I.e. Not be completely green/white/black/orange/beige.

The checkpoint I've been using so far would be ideal but it just needs remodeling/retexturing because I did it in Deled which is horrible for real applications.

I'm sorry to be so ungrateful and blunt about all this but I really don't have time to be sillying around with other media now.

Literally all WOR needs is a checkpoint and 2 trees. xD

If someone wants to invest the time to do these properly, add me on MSN and I'll go through the design process with you which will ensure they look right and are scaled properly.

Any insights you can share into the setup of vehicles with DarkPhysics? I'm having a hell of a time getting that sorted out where I have a drivable vehicle.

Thanks.

@ KISTech
I'd suggest not using DarkPhysics for a start... xD

Also the way WOR is doing it isn't exactly very sleek; it works but is limited in terms of steering/suspension.

@ pictionaryjr
Well charger bandit is more or less there, it just needs some technical tweaks.

Lol C0wbox, you havent replied to my massage at the end of the last page, you dont have negative feelings unto me do you? I can see why you would, i essentially put you down by telling you how rude you were being to the people willing to make nice contributions to WOR! Nah, im kidding!

Hey KISTech, I did a thread a while ago about this.

Here's a LINK

@C0wbox, have you considered using/buying TreeMagik? I have it and it's really easy to use. The trees it produces could be just what you need...

@ Dark basic dude79
I've already said quite a few times what I need so I can't be bothered beating around the bush with the whole "you're not being very nice" stuff and having to respond all the time. - People also say here just don't reply to posts you don't rate highly because that's generally what causes social issues on these forums.

So, I ignored your post because people have expressed similar views before you.

I never once said "Please, everyone - send in loads of pictures of a model so I can pick the best one." - Because that's not what I was after at all.

@ Dark basic dude79
Yeah although the shape is good the texture is horrible and because you aren't discussing it with me, the scale and format requirements will be all wrong.

Also, I thought I implied charger bandit was on the case? - I.e. I don't need anymore screenshots of checkpoints from random people...

@ baxslash
I've considered using a lot of things in WOR and picked what I felt was the best choice at the time and stuck with it.

I only need 2 more trees so getting/learning how to use a whole new program would be a waste of time as the other 3 trees were done just fine.

Also, from what I've heard you can't edit the trees in TreeMagik to the degree I'd want. - I require polygon/vertex/edge manipulation as a minimum in any program I use. - (Hence why I went with T.ED for the terrains instead of Blitzterrain - and have been modelling everything in Deled because it's essentially a cartography program so you can do everything you need to a model rather than fancy high-poly effects.)

Fair enough, just a suggestion.

Hope someone is capable of modelling something that meets your high standards soon, a lot of people itching to play the finished version (me included)

Well from what charger bandit did of the checkpoint he should be able to manage it but I'm in no hurry to finish WOR at the moment. - I've got a lot on my plate now terms started again. (One of the reasons I was trying to rush my team to get it finished over Xmas but we failed at that so it's just stagnating now.)

Even the release time I put at the end of the last WOR trailer was just there because I needed some more text and felt summer should be far enough away. - Whether it'll really get finished by summer or not I don't know. - Hopefully I should be able to finish it over the summer though but I'm not promising anything.

After I get this checkpoint and trees I'll probably invest a bit more time into deving again and get these new maps made but until charger bandit does them I probably won't even open DBP again. xD

@Baxslash,

I saw that thread while I was trying to figure all that out. It helped, but there seems to be some confusion about the order in which the wheels should be added to DP. I also noticed that rather than the X, Y, Z positions of the wheels, you add them as Z, Y, X. They do the same thing in the vehicle demo for DP. Haven't really found a good reason why, and swapping them around doesn't seem to do much but add to the confusion.

I'm moving away from DarkPhysics for this. It's sad that the plugin isn't at least better documented to reduce or eliminate the confusion. So much of the documentation was just left blank.

True. It's far from perfect but there are alternatives out there.

It is still possible to make vehicles using DP by manually adding joints in DP and using forces to turn the wheels and I'm working on a few possible methods of doing that for various purposes at the moment for another new game (yes another WIP thread nearly ready to start but I figure since I published four games and three demo versions on AppUp in the last 6 months I built up some credit )

Actually I think I'm working on five games at the moment... I lost count

I have enough trouble just keeping 2 straight.

It takes so long sometimes to work through the things that you would think might be so simple. Trying to use DP on this vehicle has cost me 3 days of development already..

I'd recommend DarkDynamiX - just because it's actually still being worked on and isn't like 3 years old.

@ Ermes
Na WOR was always going to be free. - That's why I stuck those billboards up to help donations or to offer ingame advertising space for those who want it.

Ok C0wobox, i do apologize

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Ingame billboard adverts need to be 512*342 @ £2 a month per advert. - I can stick them in as early as the current version and they'll get shown for anyone who plays this or later versions because its been retrieving them off the Soharix webspace since like 5 versions ago. (If people aren't playing with an internet connection it just loads a local Soharix advert included with the game.)

Currently the game only includes support for 2 different adverts but if people express interest it's not trouble to increase that number for a later version. (Adverts are chosen randomly per billboard each time a map is loaded.)

Ah, being that it costs money i would have to think about it but on the other hand it's a good idea to charge money!

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Quote: "Adverts are chosen randomly per billboard each time a map is loaded.)"

it might be a good idea to change them per lap to allow more advertisements per game.
just a thought.

My software never has bugs. It just develops random features.

That wouldn't be too hard to do but would detract from any realism the game retains as billboards take men with ladders to change the poster on them in real life. xD

There are enough billboards around a map to ensure the advertisements get seen regularly enough. - And with the current lap lengths the likelihood of getting bored and switching map (thus re-texturing all the billboards) is fairly high anyway. xD

Well then put in some good ol men with ladders! Just kidding but this is a good idea C0wbox Something always inspired me as a little kid seeing the different advertisements on billboards on Mario Karts 64... Nintendo 64 FTW!

Oh, actually I got this (and most of the other ideas for WOR) from TrackMania Nations (/Forever) - I've never played MarioKart64 - I've actually only used an N64 like once.
