Modding discussion for Driver.

Since the traffic convertible is basically a 1973 Ford Gran Torino, I figured it'd be kind of cool to try and turn the convertible into the 1973 Ford Ranchero.

UPDATE:

It's ready to be released as V1, but there are multiple bugs:

-Wheels, when not jumping, pop through the back.
-Clipping occurs on the sides in the bed - they are too straight down, only show up when angled.
-Textures suck - Reflections is at fault, this was originally the civ convertible gone civ ranchero :P

Nice one, i'm sure it'll look great ingame.
BTW does anyone now how much polygons are supported in Driver?
(sorry if this sounds noobish, i never modded anything in driver)

Currently, there is a 256 vertices limit for Driver, however, Someone972 is working on removing that limit in his spare time. As far as polygons are concerned, I'm not sure if there's a limit to that. All I know is there is a 256 vertex limit.

The exporter compares two vertices, and welds it if they are same, so you can make more faces.

P.S. The original PLAYERCAR2CLEAN model has 254 verts.

OK, I know what to fix now:

-Back needs to be reversed; back end is flat, towards the end it goes up
-The front is too pointy
-New textures needed

I would love to do it right now, but my little sister is on my desktop...playing Toontown...

I will release it later.

BUGS:

-It doesn't like the fact the bed is just extruded down, it likes to see through the car >_>
-Wheels pop through the back...meh

Really I know the date is old, but I felt that it was a really neat thing that the guy made, geeze don't get so bent out of shape over it, if you feel that strongly about that stuff just lock all the old threads then and be done with it. Its not like I'm on here everyday bumping old threads for shits and giggles, i appreciate the work and effort put into projects like that even if it was lost due to a hd failure it still a neat little project.
