Hey, man I was trying to do a really short segment of a video using that Leaving Chicago mission, trying to show the villain car doing something when it was too far out of range of the Tanner car for the camera to work. So I did this segment in Tanner's car and used screenshots of the bad guy's car in the different positions relative to the camera to make PNG image overlays and place them, one after another, on top of Tanner's car to mask it as the bad guy's car. It took forever, and looked far from perfect.
Then I meet Biscaynes and he tells me all I have to do is use some code to make it rain. LOL
You know what I mean, though? I needed it to rain, but in that mission only bad guys have the rag tops, and you cannot steal them, so I could not drive one of them to do the segment. With the codes Biscaynes told me about, I just used a rag top in Free Ride with rain switched on. Biscaynes saved the show. You have to have some kind of Greatest Hits version of DRIVER 2 to do this, he said.
Well, Actually I do not know much about cars. Maybe those are not convertables. They are the ones that have white or black tops, though. I thought they were supposed to be convertables.
I am definitely not going to move on and leave DRIVER 2 video making days behind me without doing at least one video in Las Vegas at night. It looks so pretty.
