Released ETK K-Series ('94 - '01) 1.3

Any possibility of a refresh soon (openable doors/hood/trunk etc)? I don't mean to rush, would just like to know.

 

First things first, bump.
Secondly, no, probably not.

 

Lucas said he would do it at one point a couple of times. We will have to wait.

 

Hello, i made pbr lights for ETK K-Series! Now it looks much better!

It has a slight issue with headlights, but it's not too bad.
Also, I couldn't make better quality gauges, so i just changed colors of them. Basic models with 2.0L engine have yellow gauges, 2.4L - orange and 3.0 - red.

Here are some pics:

 

Just saying can you also do openables (hint you can copy the openable stuff from the normal K-Series)? It really deserves it.

 

I'll try to look for information on how to do this, but I can't promise anything

 

Yeah, probably the only other thing that this mod needed other than pbr lights are an animated shifters and latches. Lucas said he'd do a refresh of it, but I doubt it's up on high on his priority list.

 

So this thing is getting a refresh. I have 2 suggestions:
1: Imperial gauges
2: More interior colors as currently there's only tan and a hideous black/blue combo (preferably colorable with the tertiary color)

 

this looks cool

 

Alright. Some of you might've already seen the post in Development Screens, but for those who haven't : I'm working on a refresh/update for this thing

I've been spending the past few days working on the K-Series again, so here's the list of the stuff I've done :

First off: the lights. The original ones were a first for me and they looked horrible so this was my #1 priority. They've been remade from the ground up to use the same techniques remastered/new BeamNG vehicles use for lights, and to use PBR materials.


I've also retextured the wheels. The original textures were not great so I figured I'd redo them.


Next up is the openables support. Every panel can be opened via the latches system, and I also remade the soft top to be somewhat physically accurate and use latches instead of hydros.
I've made a short showcase video for this here :


As well as support for other new game features like working mirrors, cargo boxes, and an animated shifter.


That's it for now. I've also updated the Jbeam structure to make it behave more realistically, and fixed some of the most obvious bugs I could find. I will also be updating the Picnic and the Scout to add support for mirrors and cargo boxes. I just don't know when I'll be able to work on those yet, I have a pretty busy schedule IRL with college and exam period beginning soon.

I'm hoping to release all this in an update later this week if all goes to plan

 

Yoo, this is actually sick!

 

this looks awesome!

 

Speaking of an animated shifter, I wonder if a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed sequential shifter would be applied in this refresh.

 

This car has been my favorite since release due to it's outstanding handling. Thank you so much. can't wait to send a kr4 around some bends

 

Can't wait to drift the heck out of this refresh!
