I'd like to request the following:
-Real looking ambulances
-Telephone company trucks
-Humvees(military)
-Army helicopters(blackhawk,Huey,chinook)
If they cannot be made drivable can they be made into props?

over at SCC they have real looking ambulances for download.

Yeah but those look to much like vans. I like the box ones.

M16: wow!!! I bet that no one was allowed inside of those cars.

lol, what dya mean, we drove ours down as did everyone else, there was a parade before the competition

[Swamper77 90]

MI6Ash: I will probably only be able to do the Phantom III using a sedan model....

 

XSpiderman: requested added to the list... I'll see if I can find an appropiate ingame model to use for that.

 

Spy360: requests added to the list... I might be able to do the van ambulance (ambulance photo #2). I also might be able to reskin the current military attack copter in the game. For the telephone company trucks: if you don't mind having vans with their logos on the sides, I could do it. Otherwise they will be props. As far as know, we can't import new models for vehicles into the game yet... I think research is still being done on that aspect. I just using ingame models at the moment. Any other models would have to be made into props.

 

Nosoupforyou: That is probably going end up being a prop at this time...

Could I request some Sport Compact (aka Ricer) cars made?

I'd be nice to see a few here and there, seeing as we have them all over the place in real life but no where to be found in the game.

Cars like Toyota Supras, Nissan Skylines (or 350Zs), Ford Focuses, or Mitsubishi Eclipses, all in bright colors like red or white or gold, with little bits of decorative colors on the side. And perhaps black hoods (carbon-fiber hoods) on some?

A lot of request, so don't worry about doing it, but it would be very cool, imo.

[MC6Ash 4]

lol. ok, anyway, swamper: are you actually MODing them? or just changing textures?

[spy360 1]

If the requests i made (the military one) become props that be great. Someone named skunk something made a bunch of military props, Hornets, Hercules C-130, Fighting falcon, etc. The blackhawk, huey, chinook, and hummers be GREAT! props.

[Swamper77 90]

Rickk: Mike Seith made some Ford Focuses. They can be downloaded from his site: http://props.freeservers.com .

 

MI6Ash: I am just changing the textures on the vehicle models.

 

Spy360: Your requests probably won't be done until later. The skinning is being done first; props will be later...

Thanks. I will keep a lookout on this thread.

[Fairlane500 8]

To add to my previous request, could you reskin the MySim default car into a 1957 Fairlane 500 *Points to Member Name*.

I would much appreciate it.

[lakeyboy 12]

I was wondering if you would be able to make a Holden Commodore VY.

I will be so grateful if you can make it.

If you want pictures, go here to http://www.holden.com.au

There is a section in the site which lets you view the car in 3D.

Thanks

Sorry for the lack of updates around here. I have been busy with some of my other hobbies. I just updated the Hotel Shuttles on the STEX. The Hotel Shuttles now include three more vans:

 

-Super 8 Motel

-Days Inn

-Hilton Hotel

 

Jqoc said he was going to do work on the buses, so I will start working on some of the other requests in my long requests list on the first page.

I haven't checked back in a while to this thread. Swamper if you can make the car that would be sweet, but I don't know if you'll be able to find an appropriate model. I'll keep my fingers crossed, though. I don't know if you guys know this, but FosterK has a thread for navy BAT's and has some helicopters and junk like that modelled. Anyway I look forward to some updates.

2005 Mercedes Benz SL600...

[Jim 6]

i asked this earlier on... but its not possible

[Tropod 144]

Well, thought I'd post this here;

 

 

This one just shows the fact that track switches can be modified; so we may be able to fix it so that switches appear & thus work.

 

 

 

There's still some issues that need to be fixed &/or looked at. The UDI Panel for this for some reason, decides to change on its own from one drive session to the next (sometimes it's the same, sometimes it's not).

As for Subway UDI though; I'm still looking into that. I've had some minor progress with it, but I highly doubt it'll get to the point of being practically useable functional wise. In other words; don't expect it happening.

I'll be sure to keep yall posted of this though.

[burwellian 16]

Tropod, If it was you who did that (and it wouldn't surprise me if it was), You are a genius!

[frogface 354]

ok then i was wrong and you were right
el train UDI would be great! i'd love to UDI thru junctions like this :

[Swamper77 90]

Tropod,

 

Once again you proved me wrong. I'll be looking forward to seeing this for download in the near future.

I would like to know how you did it....

 

@Frogface: Sorry I said it was impossible. I still new at modifying exemplars. I have only modified properties that I know the behavior of, so far.

 

-Swamper77

[Tropod 144]

Frogface that is just crazy

 

As for the EI Rail UDI: There still is a bit to go through, before a released version can be done folks. We're just trying to look into, & see if some of the issues, can't be rectified first.

[NintendoMaster128 30]

Well the buildings in that city look quite interesting...  Kinda like Berlin Pre-WWII

[007 0]

Hey swamper hows the progress coming? Even if my request isn't made, I still want to say thanks for making those awsome vehicles. You should probably team up with mikeseith and maybe you could build an empire of vehicles. Oh and Tropod, good work getting the EL Train to be U-Drive-It-Able. Thanks to everyone that made this thread possible. See you all later.

[andreharv 1,197]

Tripod, I am glad you are creating this addtional UDI. I just realized that it didn't exist yesterday in the game till yesterday lol when I was looking for it. After finishing this UDI, will the cars be able to be controlled in the subway and also can the cars be controlled through stations. Some of the stations that i have are interesting looking and I don't know if it would fit. Here is an example of one.

[frogface 354]

i dont know about THAT particular station, y'see i have that and it seems only the ends are transit enabled, so for THAT station it looks like trains wont go thru it, but stations where you can drag the tracks fully thru , UDI should be possible

[ardecila 125]

That station would actually be possible, with the proper LOD and TE/pathing work. You could even make the track-split drive-thru-able (but the switch on the lower platform would not be).

[Swamper77 90]

007,

 

I'm working on a Ford Econoline Van at the moment. I'm still trying to get it to look right. I'm using a custom script from Redlotus to create the model through the rendering process of BAT. It may take awhile. I'm also trying to play some of my cities and test people's mods. I'm testing Tropod's El Train UDI mod at this time. Soon I'll be testing the Avenue Turning Lanes mod. Just be patient...

Ok, well looks like I may of managed to fix this. Most of the major issues of been resolved now.

Because of the changes involved, this will be included in the NAM. The main reason for this is because there's so many path files & path changes involved, including path files in the NAM itself (I may release a pre-release though).

If someone/anyone would like to make a Menu Icon for this, as that's all it needs now really. And that's it. It'd just need to look like the EI Rail Trains I guess.
