    How can I make my own 3D vehicles?

    in GTA IV Modding

    Posted

    Hi all! I'm new to modding but I'm getting really into it. It's really awesome having all these great looking vehicles that people have built and made available for us to import into the game. Some of them look better than the original ones!

    My question is - how can I start building and importing my own 3D cars? I mean... how do people actually build them? How do they convert them? Is Zmodeler he ONLY program that can do that? Can I use 3ds Max or Maya instead? What are the guidelines that one has to follow in order to make a car acceptable to the graphics engine (poly count, shaders, grouping, etc.) What about collision objects...? It just seems so complex it's hard to believe that regular people are doing it, and doing it so well!

    Can someone who can do all this point me in the right direction?! Thanks!

    Yes, you can use 3Ds Max. I'm not too sure on how to do it myself (I've been tryna figure that out for ages).

    How much modelling experience do you currently have? I'd suggest trying some texture modding before moving on to adding new models into the game, just to get the hang of it ;) This can also be done with 3Ds MAX.

    You will probably needs "Kams 3Ds Max Scripts", which allow you to import GTA Files into 3Ds easily.

    I have Sony Vegas. I kinda have Adobe After Effects but I'm still struggling to get it working again. Fricken Adobe!

    I'm also a professional Fruitylooper, lol... Made some really cool stuff with it and recreated many songs.

    There should be a file called FONTS.txd or something. Inside there is an image containing all the letters and symbols for GTA. Try changing the $ one. Still, it should be part of the GXT Files, too.

    EDIT: Try DOLLAR or PLA_18 - Saves editing images and messing some things up.

    Try checking where the most visitors are coming in from (aside from english speaking countries, course) and start with that one. Although if there are not many, then it might not be such a great idea... Having the language change isn't going to attract visitors, but rather keep visitors on the website for longer. So it'd be a good idea to have the language set according to the area of the IP when the user first gets on the page. Otherwise it'd be almost useless.

    GTA 5?

    Okies. Anyone reckon that will be the end of the GTA XX's? I just can't imagine seeing "GTA VI" showing up. Plus most dumb people will get it confused for IV. I'd think there'd be some named GTA's after that and then maybe... The end?

    That will probably be part of the GXT Files (if not memory). Just open up "GTA San Andreas\text\__language__.gxt" using a GXTEditor and use the Find function to search for something like: $~1~ - Change and save. You may find that you have to change a few of them to get the right one, though. Which shouldn't matter. It'd just mean ALL text that uses that symbol will be changed to your new one. Remember to make a backup of your unedited file so that you can easily switch back.

    Mmm... I feel that GTAForums has broadened it's use more than most GTA Forums which stay relatively compact and simple. There's nothing wrong with an old IP Board. I was forced to update mine for a specific reason, which I wouldn't have done without the problem occurring.

    The GTAForum has a dark theme, which I find is attractive but at the same time... Attracts "noobs". When I was new to the WWW-Life (and normal life, lol) GTA Forums was the first site I joined. I never posted, mind... 2 years later, however... I started posting there and then joined this Forum (still a "noob", btw) and have just got used to it from there. I don't post much in GTA Forums unless I want to post in the modding forums or ask for some quick help in the Web Design forum. I post there because they have loads of members. Surely someone will post pretty quickly, eh?

    I think the thing to keep in mind with GTAForums is that they were pretty much there from the beginning of GTA, so has had more members for a while. And people like to join forums that are active. Not to mention that it will appear in loads of search results considering the amount of posts they have. It surprises me that they only have a PR of 4 (same as TGTAP). Which once again makes my mind fill up with questions of how Google PR works. My site only has 2 (until I gets .com) :P Maybe if GTAF, TGTAP and my site joins up we can take over Google's search results! lol... Apparently Google gets 10, hmm... Rigged?

    Anyway, I think it's almost impossible to compare TGTAP to GTAF. They're in 2 different leagues.

    Also, a bland theme is a good thing in my eyes. It doesn't make things seem out of place or "in your face". However, it doesn't make me want to click a link either.

    Basically, I'm looking for someone looking for an amateur film editor (lol). But only for something basic. I decided this'd be an okay place to post since there are probably a few people here wanting to make GTA Stuff. So if anyone needs something done or knows where I should look for someone who needs something done then I'd be happy to see what I can do :)

    Possible GTA V hint in EfLC manual?

    That picture is not a clue to the next GTA. It's just a tease. The picture is part of another picture which has something to do with GTA Ads. The whole rip thing is where the title of the next GTA would've been if not for the rip. I'm sure if it was a clue, it'd be in the shape of a jigsaw piece, lol. If the piece was there, it'd clearly say "Vice City" (lol). Or maybe something different? Wind people up into thinking their isn't a vice city one coming and just making it a regenerated (and renamed) version of Vice City. never know with Rockstar :)

    Whos the best rapper alive?

    Wow... Where do I begin?

    Eminem has to be the best. Not to forget the fact he has produced amazing tunes too. He has a great ear for music and his flow is unmatchable. I reckon he's the only rapper I wouldn't be able to rap along in time with as he manages to say lot's of things in such a flawless way. For example, the song Crazy In Love (which I absolutely can't resist listening to again after having already listened to it) always ends up making me struggle to keep up with (while at the same time literally twisting my tounge) and he seems to do it so flawlessly. You can probably even see my comment about it on the link :P I think it's the bit after he says "if it wasn't for you I would never be able to spit this" where I get lost.

    Then there's Drug Ballad (which I can keep up with... almost) which really shows how he can flow and rhyme so well. And in the song Criminal where you can really get to know how mental he is. Lol. Seems to love humor and doing impressions. Nearly every good rapper you can think of, Eminem featured with or rejected (lol). And who can forget about Forgot About Dre...

    But yeah... There's loads of rappers. Most of them good and/or deceased :( But the thing that I find really annoying is that there's been a sudden drop in good music from any of them. It seems like an instant, synchronized end of Hip Hop where a load of rappers have just stopped making music. Heh, but not Eminem :) Apparently Dre is still doing stuff, but no one knows when he's actually gonna finish "finetuning" the beats, lol. Could take him another few years.

    Please, if you have any ideas of changes to that list. Inform me as I'm running low on unheard tunes and I plan to use this list to find the hidden music. And yes, I included RnB here a little.

    Kanye used to be good. But meh. His best songs are "Arguments", "Bittersweet", "Family Business" and "The New Workout Plan" (greaat song).
