Also, are you using the in-built 'wheel collider' for wheels? And how do you make the 3D wheel object rotate like a real wheel, for example if the drive wheels are in air (not touching ground) and player presses accelerator, the wheels will spin in air..

-Yes, he uses wheel colliders.
-Wheel colliders use physics, so of course they'll move in the air unless a force stops them.
-and in a real car, wouldn't the wheels move in the air if you give them gas so they'll drive? I dunno. Never actually thought about it until now.

Ok, never mind, he must be using some different technique for wheel rotation. I once made a simple unity car game by watching this tutorial where wheels are rotated by taking into account their contact with ground and not how much 'gas' (throttle) the player gives.

I use the Rotate function to rotate wheels based on their RPM, not based on the accelerator. The wheels use a WheelHit raycast to check for suspension, and the gearbox is what sets the RPMs

GOOD NEWS!
I may allow LUA script mods to certain parts of the game

I'm creating a vehicle shader for reflections.

Then I got carried away by adding a Bloat parameter LOL

Sumo Mustang!

About that LUA script thing, can we add the bloat parameter with that? Cause it'll be epic.

The mustang on the left looks like an Alfa Romeo

This is amazing.

I have a few quick questions to ask... Are you porting the actual game to a new engine? Or are you totally starting from scratch? Anyway, you are totally AMAZING!

First post!! (Yeah, I know, I'm late to the community... about 12 years late in fact!

)

It's never late to join this wonderful community!

And welcome.
He's doing it from scratch, as of now (and probably never) we don't have MM2 source code

It still uses Midtown Madness 2 files though

Thanks for responding. From the pics I've seen, it looks like it still has that good ol' Midtown Madness-ish look, if you know what I mean.

It definitely doesn't look like a totally different game, which I hope you intend to keep!

Maybe like a cheat which allows you to increase the bloat parameter of the car you're driving, that'd look so cartoon

The Mustang on the right looks like a car out of Nascar Rumble.

I think this would make an awesome cheat mode, when all the cars look like those two Mustangs, all poofy.

Could we do this for the normal version of Midtown Madness 2?

The Beetle would float away, the Freightliner would break through the ground and the Panoz GTR-1 won't bew able to drive faster

Working on INST loading. Now that it's working better, what better way to test it than on a map that's fully made with INST objects.

The line is my drive path debug
