Hi everyone ! Sorry for the lack of news recently. The mod V2.0 update is still in progress, and my friends contributors and i are working on small details. For exemple i just got the big center hubcaps of the Delta 88 Holiday Coupe finished today. It's not a big thing but for people who like details it may count Here you can compare with the regular Super Stock wheels for coupes and sedans : I took the occasion of working on wheels again, to sort the textures of the Oldsmobile custom wheels and hubcaps. For some reason they were initially placed into the bodies and additional bodies maps, making them an oldsmobile only feature. I started to remap the first one of them, the Super Stock wheel shown above, on it's own little texture. That way it will be available for the Chevy Caprice too, and also it will be possible to add them in the unbranded custom wheels pack that some people asked me to release for vanilla cars. I will do the same for the oldsmobile hubcaps. All the other custom wheels (vector, minilites) have already their own textures. We have also made the dual exhaust available for all engines, diesel included, as the exhaust were updated to new sounds from 0.16 update. And to celebrate, the 6.2 Chevy Diesel engine will be added, with the regular 140 HP output and the 160 HP military version. Mesh is a placeholder, it's just the 5.7 oldsmobile engine painted in black. It will do the trick untill a real 6.2 chevy mesh is eventually made (but really nothing sure) No precise release date planned, as details take a lot of time. But it will arrive in some weeks depending on work load.
Ooh, I like how this is going so far! Keep it up with the good work! And it's no problem to me if you didn't have updates to this thread for so long. Take your own time at doing your stuff: IRL, related to the mod, etc, etc, etc. But at least it's good to see how's the progress so far, heh.
Two new wheels soon available in the mod and in the upcoming wheel pack 15x8 and 15x9 Rocket wheels : And 15x8 and 15x9 Magnum wheels : Meshes are by @AR162B as for the Minilites and Vector wheels already in the mod, and textures and meshes improvements by me.
Thank you Keepin'on the details. I just made the badge selection for all custom wheels possible : The wheels will spawn with oldsmobile logo first : Then you'll go to the rear wheels were the badge design is located : And tadaaaaaaaaa ! A nice Chevy logo on an Oldsmobile Besides joking, this way you'll be able to get Oldsmobile Super Stock Wheels as tuning part for the Caprice : Of course it works for all the custom wheels : So i think you got the idea, when the wheel pack will be released in the same time as the Oldsfullsize V2.0 update, they will be provided with Bruckell, Burnside, Gavril logos
I now need to make them all in dusty, rusty, dusty and rusty skins . This wasn't the case before, and as the pieces of junks offer of the addon pack is now huge, it's natural that cars were parked in junkyards with all kind of wheels and hubcaps. Forgot to mention that now all hubcaps from Oldsmobile can go on Chevy and vice versa, but i keep the badges on them, as they were specific to brand anyway. But it's cool for beater cars to have misfitted hubcaps All the hubcaps will be available in the wheel pack, but then i'll add a slot to select metal Gavril, Bruckell, Burnside badges.
He literally just got new sounds done and now you are asking him to ask to make sounds better again? Yeah, that might be quite good improvement though, but also might take some time to do well, sidepipes etc. all need now more tuning.
Hey man, i haven't read through 59 pages to find an answer. I'm not begging. If it bugged me that much, i'd change them myself
Hey no worries, the addon is already updated (but not released) to all the new sounds, louder engine when exhaust broken, and so on. Synsol is used to do that and updated it, thanks to him All of of this was done simultaneously to the addition of dual exhausts for all engines.The new V8 diesel sound is now used for the respective engines. Suspensions were also adapted to the new torsion bars. Handling is improved.
And you kinda missed the joke that would of probably required some inside knowledge. See I did complain about old sounds, something along lines of impossible to enjoy from the mod with old sounds, then after a while he updated sounds to Fmod not too long ago, now he has kind of need to update sounds again and last time it took a while for many reasons. Oh and yes, I did change from old version to Fmod back then Ninja'd by SergentFido. That is indeed pleasant surprise that new sounds are already in, mod is really moving to new levels with those as from some reason always when I drive there are parts dropping off, including exhaust bits.
Guess what i'm working on --- Post updated --- Nobody dares an answer ? Okay, the new roof implementation turned out not bad. Some Jbeam modifications, new parts slots later : And let's see if it works. Regular metal roof is still working as before which is a good point as all presets are defined with it untill now. Always a pain to resave all presets after a little modification. Then let's select the new roof : It works ! I will add the central pillar chrome trim for brougham variants later, and i guess some C pillar badges as well. I will also try to make the bottom angle of the C pillar part of the vinyl roof more rounded.
Keepin'on the Caprice Vinyl roof parts. - Added Vinyl roof for 1987 and up variants. - Added badges : simple crest for base cars - Caprice Classic fenders emblem - Brougham badge for 1986 and 87 and up. Rounded the bottom part of the 1986 vinyl roof. - Challenged myself to add quicly the LS luxury variant with Landau vinyl Roof. It's still wip but almost done though. Still using the same vinyl texture than for the Olds. The cars displayed below are not using the complete chrome package they should use, i will add some more screenshots later
Not sure, time's flying when doing those things. I made that during the week end but i didn't counted Too much for the free time i have for various things. But no regrets
Certainly creating this has taught you lot, I was wondering if you would to get paid, it would be quite many licenses and with good price tag to cover all hours you have put to creating this mod. It is very much appreciated gift that you have and still are giving to us
