MRT's Traffic Mod 1.0 [WiP]

[Silent1Unknown]

Zac, I dont understand.

Radu, the Audi A4 model pic is on page 3.

[StanOfGB]

I think he means mostly american cars for SF and mostly euro cars for London

Exactly, maybe you restarted the project.

[Silent1Unknown]

Currently, I have 17 vehicles planned:

- 7 European (2 Audis, 2 Fiats, 1 Ferrari, 1 Peugeot, 1 Mercedes)
- 5 American (Chevy, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Shelby)
- 3 Japanese (2 Mazdas, 1 Toyota)
- 2 Buses (Ikarus, Toyota)

You should know that by default, 6 cars are assigned to LONDON only, 6 cars to SF only and 5 to be shared by both cities.

Now, I was thinking like Zac too (European cars in LONDON, American cars in SF). But I'm also factoring in the real-life availability of the car in different parts of the world. For example, I doubt there are Toyota Camry's in Europe but there are Ferraris in North America. So, Ferrari could be a shared car, and Camry could be an SF-only.

I wont say the car names now, but here are other classifications:

- 2 Concepts
- 2 SUVs
- 7 "Everyday" sedans
- 4 Sports cars
- 2 Exotics

The earliest model is a 1996, and the latest is a 2011.

Nice range of vehicles, although it will be odd to see a ferrari every 10 seconds lol

[Riva]

Some BMW and Mercedes are available from SF and London, good idea if you use them for these two cities.

Are you sure about Ikarus/Toyota buses ?

Japanese cars can be used from both cities too.

You can make a Chrysler 300C too (available in Europe as well as from US).

I don't know your list but here's some suggestions.

I have to say, that is also a good list Weirdly, I've seen pickups in people's screenshots but my game doesn't have pickup trucks in traffic

[Zac4084]

Great list of common cars.

It's not added to aimap, I think it's added in revisited

I'll make it a rare one. For example, in HQTM's traffic mod, I see the Ferrari maybe only once a week! Anyway, the Ferrari I've chosen isnt so special or so new.

Are you sure about Ikarus/Toyota buses ?

Trust me on this one. I'll leave these as a surprise.

Thanks for the suggestions. Most of them dont interest me though. Actually, 90% of those cars I've never seen in my life!

Ok, now I tell all truth.

Everyone remembers the time my old computer (XP) died (~ Sept 2009)? So I got a new computer (Vista). Even though I made backups, it was hard to get MM2 and ZM to working perfectly on Vista as they did on my old machine, so I lost interest in all MM2 modding.

Slowly, over time and with some fixes to ZM, some interest came back. But I also realized I'll be more busy with school soon, so I decided to make a Super Traffic Mod with all my favourite cars (Nissan GT-R, Camaro, Gallardo...etc) I ever wanted to make. Actually, I had a good name for that mod too; MATE! (Most Awesome Traffic Ever!).

But apparently, no one wants a traffic like that. Also, it would be pretty depressing to drive a normal car in MM2 when Ferraris and Lambos are driving past you :p (...yes, they drive past me in SF highway during races, lmao). Anyway, I found a better use for those cars; as replacement of default player cars. They would be perfect since they will be about 1000 polys each and can still have maximum paintjobs.

SO, then I decided to restart this Traffic Mod 1.0 with the following, recharged list:

Code: Select all

Traffic Mod 1 - Vehicle List **************************** Required Vehicles: 17 Completed Models (3) ---------------- 2007 Ford Fusion 2007 Toyota Camry 2008 Audi A4 Planned Models (14) -------------- 1996 Chevy Corvette C4 2000 Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus 2007 Dodge Avenger 2009 Fiat 500 Abarth 2011 Peugeot RCZ Ikarus Concept Bus (LON) Toyota Concept Bus (SF) 2007 Chrysler Pacifica 1999 Ferrari 360 Modena 2007 Shelby GT500 2009 Mazda 3 2009 Mazda CX-7 2005 Mercedes-Benz SLR 2008 Audi TT Cuts (13) ---- Orion 8 NGP 2008 Fiat 500 2007 Dodge Caravan 2002 Nissan Sentra 2001 Nissan Maxima SE 2005 Nissan Altima 2007 Acura TL 2007 Saleen S281E 2007 Fiat Bravo 2005 Chrysler 300C 2005 Chrysler Crossfire 2007 Honda Civic 2009 Dodge Caravan

Still I might change some cars.


Anyway, the Ford Fusion is served.




Next Car: 2008 Audi A4

[Franch88]

Nice Ford Fusion model, keep it up. This will be a nice quality traffic mod.

Nice planned cars list, original idea use the Abarth 500 for the traffic mod. There are also some concept cars, this is original and unusual too. The Riva's suggestions are about more normal cars, but I would say that your reason to make such cars for a traffic mod is good, for first thing you do what you want to do.

[Zac4084]

Great cooking.

Really nice planned list, great Peugeot. Some common cars too. Nice thinking for the name.

[Riva]

Yep indeed, my suggestions are realistic whereas the ones of Silent are great Of course, it's better to get exotic cars instead of common vehicles.

Good luck, keep it the current work up.

[StanOfGB]

Wow I didn't know you could make it so that a certain car shows up only from time to time. Anyway great Ford Fusion, it's definitely one of them "everyday" cars

[Silent1Unknown]

Actually, its not based on time. I think its a probability of the car's presence in total traffic. Out of a 100 traffic cars, maybe 2-3 are the Ferraris. So if I play MM2 few times a week with low traffic settings, its likely I'll see Ferraris once that week. Ofcourse, you can see it more if the traffic setting is set to max. and you play in LONDON for a whole hour.
