[aps]gnat 28 Posted May 2, 2010 Love those new "CarWars" pics you posted elsewhere ..... super cool. Now we just need a patch that allows vehicles to travel at stupid speeds :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madrussian 347 Posted May 2, 2010 I personally think the more the rocks/other obstacles, the better... Especially considering it's a desert map and all. More cover = more possibility. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

icebreakr 3157 Posted May 2, 2010 There will be both: vast "empty" deserts and rocky terrain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm just thinking about a lot of cover from a gameplay perspective' date=' but hopefully not at the peril of a realistic desert environment. ;) There will be both: vast "empty" deserts and rocky terrain. Sounds like we'll get the best of both worlds. Good to hear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
[aps]gnat 28 Posted May 3, 2010 I'm just thinking about a lot of cover from a gameplay perspective, but hopefully not at the peril of a realistic desert environment. ;) Well, I think the map is meant to be more towards a "CarWars" theme (I could be wrong), so it wouldn't be good to have too many rocks. Would make driving a nightmare. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted May 5, 2010 Two WIP internal shots, still awaiting on Sigma's permission to get them supplied with the island. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted May 5, 2010 Hell yeah! That looks exactly the way I wanted it to look, great job man! Maybe some more shrubs etc. around the road would look nice though. But it looks great! I'm really looking foward to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted May 5, 2010 Its an old build map McNools, beta will be ready by this Thursday. I'm still not sure if it will be public or not, I have to decide yet. As you can see the car tex is somewhere between Pursuit/Interceptor, actually its an interceptor with additional stripe of the Pursuit vehicle from the MadMax1 (Big Bopper). It goes up to 220km/h and is able to make several jumps that are present on the map. But I have to warn you that corners can be very dangerous and very skilled driver is needed. I'm finishing up MFP & Raiders character skins tonight and hopefully mission "Jadewars" tommorow - its a TvT/SP/Coop (you simply decide, since AI plays third side). If Sigma won't give permission for his '69 Plymouth Roadrunner car I'll have to find another one and that can postpone the release for up to week or more.

icebreakr 3157 Posted May 7, 2010 Final internal testing complete (~5 hours), couple of bugs will be removed and then I'll put out public beta. Sigma-6 gave permission for his excellent car models (check screens below to see one in action). Project will have: - new island tribute to Interstate '76 and MadMax movies - new vegetation (by Berghoff) - MFP & Raider units - MFP & Raider cars (no gun attachments yet) - included mission that can be played as SP, TvT or Coop (ACE2 reqired). 20 shots from MP session: http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade01.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade02.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade03.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade04.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade05.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade06.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade07.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade08.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade09.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade10.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade11.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade12.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade13.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade14.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade15.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade16.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade17.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade18.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade19.jpg http://www.icebreakr.com/islands/photos/jade20.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enad 11 Posted May 7, 2010 Why are you so damn good at making maps!?!? It's crazy! Thanks! By the way, what are some featurs of the maps itself? I hope it has some towns and stuff. Destroyed areas...etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcnools 62 Posted May 7, 2010 Great stuff! well done. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone83 6 Posted May 7, 2010 Maybe the mountains could do with an orange tone, kind of Arizona like. Apart from that, looking really great, specially that huge ramp / jump as seen on pic 7 :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
icebreakr 3157 Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Cyclone83: well, this texture is only a placeholder / WIP I already made a new one, a lot more red looking (after watching all 3 madmax movies) so it will be changed a lot. This jump is barely doable with Plymouth Roadrunner (will be supplied with island) doing 112 mph (180km/h). But of course there's a detour possibility for slower vehicles ;) Edited May 7, 2010 by IceBreakr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-Snafu- 78 Posted May 10, 2010 Excellent! - The hood of the car is white when looking through the windscreen in 1st person - Would you consider adding a sniper rifle to the car like the one Big Bopper is seen with at the beginning of the film when he's enjoying 'the view'. http://www.mainforcepatrol.com/ Great addon, I've been having a lot of fun just driving around. Looking forward to the island too. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
