Well that's easily the best vehicle ever made for EDuke32. It's great how you have the wheels turning and changing angles on the model, too. The physics look great, and I'm sure you'll make it even more impressive.

If I had gone to that much trouble for the vehicle, I would be tempted to make a racing mod as a spinoff of the main project.

EDIT: Excellent camera work, too. Of course, it helps that it's all outdoors and you don't have to worry too much about the camera going behind walls and whatnot.

Don't be surprised if Commander starts begging you for the vehicle code .

[TerminX]

Pretty damn impressive.

[Geoffrey]

Oh come on! I love how you always make sure the effects you add aren't just dukecommunity-impressive but that they work as smooth as if from any random modern game. Great video!

[Sangman]

Looks really great! and yeah what DT said about commander crossed my mind as well lol

[zchri9]

Very impressive!
Must have taken a while to code.
Im going to enjoy playing through this TC when it's released!

[The Commander]

Meh, Two years ago this guy didn't even know how to add a model into Eduke32.
I think DT has competition now. "code wise"

LOL, yeah the hardest to do was to ensure that the model of player follow the model of the car at the same time. I do not know exactly how, but I managed. but the log tells me errors :

Too many errors. Logging errors stopped.

anyway it works

[Jimmy]

This is the most amazing vehicle I've seen in a Build game. It is PERFECT. I cant wait to see the stunt physics.

[TerminX]

It doesn't count as working until those errors go away dude. Your code is broken.

I have solved the problem, log is now clean.
When i finished with this car, I thought to add a bike for Duke

[Thndr]

And after the bike, try making a boat.

[Muelsa]

Future duke bike ?

hey man, if it doesn't crash, it works.


Nice that you fixed those errors. I really like how this mod is shaping up. This looks really cool.

[Hendricks266]

After the bike and boat, how about a plane? Or a horse?

[Spiker]

Wow nice bike! Yeah I don't mind seeing new vehicles ........ or animals that Duke can use

[Reaper_Man]

Yeah I'm very impressed by that. Obviously there is a problem with sprites/models clipping through the bottom if the interior of the jeep model but you can't really help that, you could do that in HL2 in the dunebuggy.

The attention to detail with the model (having the driver look behind himself) is really nice. I really wish I could model!

Also, how do you people take such clear video? There needs to be a guide on how to make good looking youtubes because mine always suck the fat one.

[Spiker]

This bike should be used in some mods for sure! Imagine jumping from some ramps on the roofs, running over the aliens and many many other cool things.

I think I saw some reverse lights, too.

[Reaper_Man]

haha! That is so bad ass.

I realy like your idea, i think remake e1l1 map and adding roofs at the begin.

Hendricks266, on May 18 2009, 05:19 PM, said:

To make a plane, there is a problem, a plane will fly high and fast in a large map ... Eduke bug and fps rate go down when the distances to display is too far...


first pic, ok........... second pic, flight limit altitude.............. third pic bug and 2 fps.............









i have used the maximum space to make my map ; Grid limits
editorgridextent = 512000 lol 15 minutes to get from one side to another



I still have much to add to the map ...

[chicken]

How about a heli? Flies slower... Or a flying saurus?
I would really like to see something like that because i really got into the skycar of DukePlus lately...
Maybe you could edit the maximum flying height somehow.

Another question:
Does the entire game take place in several parts of this huge map or will there be more maps?

flying saurus it's ready


I would add no helicopter or plane because it is not funny and frustrating not being able to fly over the mountains. For against, I thought adding helicopters uncontrolled like fly in WoW to get the player at a specific location. Or, a controled hang glider or paraglider , which starts at the top of a mountain which prevents the player from taking too much altitude but remaining fun

For now 2 episodes (Isla nublar park location) and (Isla Sorna siteB) with 3 map per episode

[Usurper]

Have you considered making the grass invisible when within a certain distance of the player to avoid the clipping? Looking forward to seeing this go up hills.

All sprite/actor in this mod become invisible when player is too far.

moreover, it would be good if it is done automatically in Eduke & Mapster.

[The Commander]

You sound like your running into frame rate issues like I am at times with my mod.

[Muelsa]

I make sure that it does not decrease less than 25fps. In my map I separate the game in many areas, they can never see 2 large areas at the same time , but still leaving a passage from one area to another. but what helps a lot for the fps is this small code. it simply make invisible the sprite at the desired distance, without it, the fps are killed. with this i can add a lot of trees palm grass...

useractor notenemy GRASS 

findplayer playerdist 

ifvarl playerdist 50000
{
setvar grasscstat 64
setactor[THISACTOR].cstat grasscstat
}

else

{
setvar grasscstat 32768           // make grass invisible if player distance are greater than 50000
setactor[THISACTOR].cstat grasscstat
}

the disadvantage is that it works only during the game and not in mapster which makes construction more difficult and slow without a very good pc

I'm not so sure about that. Some models/sprites are important and should not disappear at any distance. I know at least one user map where there are some giant models in the distance and it would ruin the experience if they disappeared.

[Daedolon]

This is mighty impressive!

One of the only upcoming mods to be watched when it comes to EDuke32 stuff. Please keep us updated!

yes but we would need to adjust the distance at which you want to make sprite invisible ...or set the sprite allways visible.. in my mod you will never see the sprite disappear because it is already too far away and hidden by the fog. Until the map is not fully enlightened nobody will be close enough to see it disappear, Anyway it could be useful for mapster.

Or fade out gradually with level shading.. ? like some games
