Actually the R8 is borrowing from the Gallardo(platform) and the engine is, as RX_37 said, the same v8 used in the RS4. Lamborghini may use the occasional Audi part, or have joint ventures, but the heart of Lamborghini's are still created in house. You think Chrysler built the Lambo engines? lol Nope, and likewise Lamborghini is using its own, not Audi's system in the Gallardo.

if i haven't responded already, all apologies. fantastic work and doing this kind of quality at 13 means you have a great future ahead of you in the industry perhaps. can't wait for the finished product, good luck

nice work, great to see some real porsche's on the way

links worked for me this time thanks, great work. the car looks great on the exterior view(minus the wheel shadow) but great work for the first version. congrats on completing it, i know you got a rough time for the delays ;)

very nice work thanks for both versions, prefer the second

great work Grin, nice to see you back on board. great car, this is the viper i love

i don't mind either way, but for the sake of accuracy, and to prove Baltoman's point:

Thank you Danger Mouse, appreciate it

Reilsss some palms grow in colder climate, I'm going to brown the leaves a little and look into what happens to others as there are all those palm groves to contend with.

I think a winter mod would be easier lol I have to figure out the grass and various dirt images, once have turning them white is easy, and stripping leaves off the trees should be as simple as making them transparencies. one project at a time. I'm going to get back to this soon, once it's complete that'll be the next step

Now this is going abit offtopic etc (Sorry mods) but for one thing 'Extreme Flatulence' has collage etc and as most know collage is very tiring and busy and he is also still learning parts about modding also he is doing a high poly car which takes along time, he has a busy life so thats why he hasn't been doing much. He isn't attacking grin, just that i think he is saying is that 3 cars just about a week get a new thread then the thread just sits there and dyes down to the bottom then finally after reaches the top of the

thread again, then another 3 cars etc etc..

 

 

Edit: Also alot of grins threads haven't been changed to released or even 'beta' so i think thats another reason why.. They never get changed. *Im not blaming mods or anyone for that*

Tool, I'm not attacking EF's commitments, his life, or his work? I should have more clearly stressed that instead of just a 'not an attack on your work' but unfortunately I didn't and for that I apologize. However, after the 4th or 5th attack on Grin I came to his defense, albeit hastily. Just as I could have worded it better so could EF, without the sarcasm, without the continued commentary left in every Grin thread.

I've just never seen a modder get nailed so much, and as for releasing beta's and unfinished work, did BasBas take as much of a beating? Dmc? I came to his defence, just as I've come to yours people pestered you about what to build. The community is still in it's infancy, why alienate a modder who's trying to offer up models to a community desperate for them. If his quality isn't up to par it's up to him to improve, or members to ignore his downloads.

Ok first of when you actually learn about my life i might accept that comment. But when you dont know anything about my life then i think its a stupid comment to say......If you would prefer me to release a car with no custom interior or working doors or windows or even with polys sticking out i could release cars just as quick as grin.

Extreme, as I mentioned above, I apologize for not being clearer. I was clear that it wasn't an attack on your work, I should have been clearer on the delay. Don't think I don't know how hard it is, i had to delay my own mod because of personal issues.

It has NOTHING, NOTHING to do with you or your work, I personally want quality and care how long it takes. It wasn't a shot at your work or you as I've explained that above. But after all the comments I came to his defence. It's about Grin doing things his way, and obviously some people are satisfied and are downloading. Let them decide, I've personally downloaded only one of his models, but I appreciate he's at least trying to add to the community.

PM him and offer critique or help, but enough with the comments was my point. Take it as you want it, but it wasn't intended as a critique of you or your work, more a "how would you feel if it's done to you."

**Apologies to everyone, this is what you get coming to a board stessed and not thinking clearly. Just want the board to support it's modders and grow

jesus, whats with the hostility? you don't like it don't download it(i won't) but to sit here and nail the guy who's trying to add cars? none of the other modders ever got this nailed for their tuned or unfinished models.

and Extreme Flatulence? at least he does eventually release models, multiple projects or not. in the time it's taken you to release the BMW how many downloads has he provided, at least 3. that's not an attack on your work, but if you're going to constantly attack grin about releases? why drive a modder away?

*DELAYED* unfortunately, do to some personal events, this mod will be delayed for a week or two, sorry folks. no worries, it will be completed

Nodz yes leafs are part of the plan, as for fall in hawaii, see my reply to Baltoman ;)

RamseyOfficial first, where i'm from, they're not uncommon. Need proof? There's a few pics here in case you're still in doubt. Second, I knew someone would comment, so theyve already been changed to something more subtle.

Looks brilliant mate, really adds to the colour of Virtual Hawaii. Don't forget to colour the low-res trees too :D

 

Attachment 6400 That one

Thanks Danger, yup it's on the to-do list. that'll be the biggest pain in the butt methinks. i'll try to get them exact but as long as they match up well enough i'll be happy. once i've done those ill probably release a beta, just finishing up on the trees and back and forth tweaking them and making sure theres an even spread on the island

Nice! :D btw sorry if asked but are you also going to update the leafs blowing in the wind?

I will actually, I assume they're in the details folder, i'll have to take a look and see if theres any ini files to change make them appear just a little more.

As I know of, Hawaii is a Tropical Group of Islands that always has a tropical weather in all seasons but what the heck.

True Baltoman, but my Audi R8 is also really a Noble M14, if I suspend disbelief enough to accept that, I think I can accept that it's fall, or that I'm on Vancouver Island perhaps lol

Thanks everybody, I'll shall release it then, maybe a week or two

no idea sorry, is there customer support number you can call? as long as the game works then i suppose all you can do is ignore another bug from atari

Not sure if anyone else is interested, just something I'm working on for myself, but i'll release it if anyone wants it when I'm done. Hawaii is nice and all, but I started to miss home ;) If anyone is wondering about accuracy, what to do with palm trees, there are species of palm on the west coast from California, up into Vancouver, Canada. So you get fall leaves and palm trees in the north too.

Progress:

*located tree images

*began colouring process

*able to find specific species in game and manage colour spread to keep things random and natural

To Do:

*locate lo-resolution trees and add colour

*link specific lo-res to specific hi res to ensure smoother transition

*change grass/add leaves if possible

*add leaves to road

*DELAYED* unfortunately, do to some personal events, this mod will be delayed for a week or two

welcome mitch. looks promising good luck with it and welcome to tdu

great car, and i agree spoilers would ruin it. good luck and welcome to tdu

Nice work Reilsss, i dont think i'll ever be able to fully mod, but i'd at least like to be able to tweak certain things like this. like take the carbon fibre aaand the spoiler off that mustang

the last good looking trans am, can't wait to see this in-game. welcome shark

very nice grin, one of the most interesting parts of tdu is the classic car shops, so i personally like the addition of older models. especially when they're not thaaat old. go driving, not all new models on the road. it adds a little realism to the game.

no problem, and that probably came of harsher than i meant it to. well the first thing to do is backup :)

using djeys newer tools replacing the file is easier than when this was first released. while browsing the bnk, select the appropriate 2db file, click replace, maintain size and there you have it. i've found it works without having to replace the 2db in commonworld2 so test one first and if theyre all there don't bother with the second

absolutely and that's why i'm excited, seeing names like mazda, toyota and honda, and especially seeing the monaro(another example of the the holden/vauxhall versions being far better than the North American counterpart).

i'm for anything being built, lambos or whatever, i'll be happy with any addons. but asked for my opinion i love the idea of any one of those 'average' cars there as much, or more than the supercars. at least more then the lambos as we have a few to choose from already.

If he creates Lambos, they will replace the old Lambos, so there wont be even more Lambos. So dont worry...

i understand that cipo, my point was simply there are many existing lambos and i think the replacements could wait until a few new models, companies, rarities were built. in the end its tool's decision, i was simply adding my opinion to the thread. i love lambos, at the same time i live in a market that doesnt carry cars like the fold falcon or holden, and there are some japanese cars that should have been in the game(mazda/honda) but weren't and i wouldnt mind seeing them. not always be about supercars for me

that is just, beautiful. thanks for version 4 i was waiting for that one. work of art boys
