Topic for beginners

Hi!
I have couple of questions!
I am beginner in this game so i wanna ask you about map and car if you can replace it and where can i do this?Is this a mod?
And if you can give me some tips...

Thanks!!!

P.S. sorry for bad english and apologies if any such topic already exists

 

So you want to replace maps and cars? I'm confused.

 

its a feature on the paid alpha version of the game only not the techdemo.

 

Completely off-topic, but I like your signature!

On topic: After you buy the alpha you get an email in which you can verify your account and get a 'drive badge' under your name, then you can download mods and vehicles from the forum.

 

yep so i need to download alpha version?

 

If you want to add more maps and cars to the game than you will need to buy the alpha version of the game. You don't need to "replace" the map or car, you can simple add to the maps and cars that are already in the alpha.

 

Hello all, i also have a question regarding the maps... I searched the forum to see if i could find an answer to this but didnt find so.. My question is: Is it possible to have a huge map instead of small map that we can find on here. I mean, it takes only 5 min to get around most map. Is it possible to see in some day a map as huge as, for exemple, TDU2 or other games that have an open world map or not?

Thanks!

'old hot rod game from way back'. What do you mean? Rigs of Rods?

 

Right now there is a limit on the resolution of heightmaps, If I recall its 4096 by 4096 but dont quote me on that. Each pixel on a heightmap represents how high the terrain should be on the grid, you can make the grid squares the heightmap adheres too much larger though so 1 pixel on the heightmap could equal 1 metre on one map but could equal 15 metres on another map so you could have a large map (although I think there are some graphical artifacts on huge ones), but it would be a bit blocky.
I think torque3d itself suppots splitting a map up into multiple heightmaps, we might see that in BeamNG in future which would alleviate this issue.

 

Thanks a lot for your explanation
