KingAndy car convertions

Hello guys, so, it's time for me to have a decent "car convertions" topic. Well, yes, I'm also making a DeLorean. While Jelly is helping me with the Interceptor, I discover in MM2 Riva there are some really nice z3d. files of Forza 3, and I found exacly the car I really wanted in-game: the DeLorean. There are 3 DeLoreans in MM2X, but 2 of them don't have the same quality of a FM3 car, and the BTTF one is not a original DeLorean. Until the end of the day I'll show you a screenshot of it, but it's only in alpha version. When it's done, a few features I want to have on it:

-> HQ shadow
-> 16:9 dashboard (but with really better quality than my Interceptor)
-> New sounds
-> Realistic Tuning

The fact I already know how to make the basics on a car and because the initial z3d file has more progress than the GTA car files, I took until now 30 minutes on this car, and it's on a phase that took me weeks to get when I was making the Interceptor.

Also, when Jelly give me his improved version of the Interceptor, his changes will be nice for I know what I have to improve in the DeLorean.

A important thing: I don't know if anybody (Riva, Jorge14, Jelly, etc.) are also converting DeLorean to MM2. If anyone is doing that, please send me a PM telling me that, and I'll immediately stop working on my convertion (or at least I'll make that just for personal use).

I don't think Riva does anything anymore. All his files are freeware now, meaning people are allowed to borrow his models, tuning files, etc. for their projects. People aren't usually that generous till they retire from the business.

Thanks. Looks like Jelly and Dageek requested this car. I did not heard about a Dageek or any of his convertions here in MM2X, so he probably will not work on this car. About Jelly, I'll talk to him. Maybe I can do what I did with the Interceptor, I do my convertion and, when I'm done, I send it to Jelly and he can improve the things he want.

Edit: Well, a change of plans: Peugeot 908 is not requested, so I'll request it. In holidays I can work on it and leave DeLorean for Jelly.

Dageek was part of our community for a while and had a decent run ... you can check his releases here https://www.mm2x.com/modules.php?name=Forum ... sc&start=0

but as sadly as it is life's catches even to us :? so he probably doesn't have time to work anymore ... you can send him a PM and ask if he has any plans to do it , if he doesn't reply for a while i guess you can go ahead and do it :)

I asked Jelly what he thinks, but I'll probably just request the peugeot 908 to convert in my holidays free time.

Yeah, I talked about it with Jelly and so I decided to cancel my convertion of the DeLorean (it was only on a really initial phase) and tomorrow I'll start converting the Peugeot. Yesterday I already started with the textures, and today I can't work on it because I have a really hard school test for tomorrow. But after that there are no more school work ontil january and I have lots of free time to make it. Progress is comming soon! :)

lol If it was boring, I wouldn't have started it if it was boring a car. So no, I love the DeLorean. :wink: :P

Great news, the V8 Interceptor is almost complete and I think today I'll submit it for download! Jelly made great improvments on it, thanks a lot! Some of the Jelly improvments: new better tune, improved shadow, improvments to the car's paintjob, new tail light, new scale of the dashboard's objects, night textures for the dashboard, reduced quantity of LOD objects, reducing the lag in some addon tracks, added 1 breackable (I know, I said it would not have breackables, but I have to say it's fun so I'll keep it).

A few screenshots for you have a idea how cool it looks:
