im saying you can drive into wheels of cars/trucks without being stopped, so i say it must be high enough for most cars to get under, im not saying one you can drive into, i just want to go under it like in FNF. the semi truck would have to be BIG, but if you can do it in real life you can probably do it in a game

What I'd do Nitrous is download a couple "Rally" cars like the ones at Romu's..
http://rpm-adonf.chez.tiscali.fr/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Then compare the suspension to a standard car to see what is that
really loosens em up and adjust your car accordingly, you can use
GTVE4 (available at my scgt basics page) to look/compare both cars
suspension and tire grip settings at the same time.
If you've downloaded my Coyote Mod they are also pretty loose for
comparision also.

well I might dang near could have me another pack ready, but last tuesday I kinda smacked my head and got a concussion(however its spelled), then had to go out of state for the weekend, since my family figured I'd keel-over if they left me here :evil:

as it stands, school=death for the rest of this week, and til next wednesday, cause I missed several days last week and gotta make stuff up, along with the other BS we gotta have done before the year is up.

so Ill be out til things let up, free time has taken a violent dive to squat

Well EP think of it as your final effort to end the studying until next fall

I just finished my final exams, did well on all three classes: Numerical Methods for solving PDE's, Combusion Engine Processes 8) and Statistical Thermodynamics. Now I have to wait for the grades, hope to get good ones!!!

Hmm you're right, just wanted to see if you were paying attention to detail!!!

Midtown Guy · Post by **Midtown Guy** » Fri May 21, 2004 8:31 am

LOL,

im going to download it now!

ohh i forgot to tell you..

this is my last day of school for this year and i will have a few months this summer

so i will probably do a few scgt cars, just having a hard time finding something really cool to do, i've found tons of mco stuff in the game folders, like the chat window that was at the bottom of the screen and the background for the personas and the radio station button thingy and the "are you sure your ready to leave" thing, could do a yim theme

EP, that is 1024 right? i was just thinking if 1024x1024 is good, 2048x2048 is better and 4096x4096 is even better. i haven't tested scgt yet to see what the biggest skin you can make is but if you do it in paint the skin looks just as good in-game and you have way more room for decals and stuff

EP429 · Post by **EP429** » Sat May 22, 2004 3:54 pm

its actually in 512x, turns out thats all the space I really need, not so detailed that it looks stupid, but big enough to make nice & clear, too much can be overkill, depends on what youre doin

yeah, i understand. im thinking of doing a decal and seeing how good i can make it look tho. with a huge skin and great detailed decals im thinking it might look pertty good

EP429 · Post by **EP429** » Sat May 22, 2004 5:53 pm

well with the majority of decals I run across, 1024x is about all you'd need for that too, unless someone could make a nicely cleaned up 2048, that'd take a while Id bet lol.

just tried the Micro Machine track, it kicks ass!

helluva lotta fun, wish the online thing would work for me, that place would make for a helluva demo track too

Alejo · Post by **Alejo** » Sun May 23, 2004 10:52 am

Glad you're enjoying the track guys

It was fun to make but it cost a great deal of time and effort

You may already know this but I discovere a cool and better way to add music to SCGT. Previously I had some CDs burned on audio tracks for the in-game player of SCGT to play. The damn thing caused some shuttering while changing audio tracks that lead to frustrating crashes. So I spent some time burning audio CDs with a big single 1-hour track so there would be no track changing.

Now I discovered that running WinAmp on the background while playing SCGT works like a charm, plus better quality mixing thanks to the newer and better WinAmp output.

So I just trashed my SCGT audio CDs!!!!
