[ModPack] Cars [20140514-switchable-mouselook] [cars]

[Ragnarok]

It's Cars ModPack :) These cars can move very quickly on asphalt and other hard surfaces (for example from Infrastructure), in contrast to the unpaved surfaces like dirt or gravel. Cars ride uphill, downhill and so on. You can even drift with this cars :) Have fun!





I based on boats mod by PilzAdam, and hard work in Blender.

Wow, good work!
Max speed: 10 nodes per second
But when I steer, then the car doesn't have a thing like centrifugal force.
Also, could you use the set_yaw() on players, so they always look forward?

I have the same problem in the car extension for StreetsMod. IMO I think it's more like a missing centripetal force (or whatever it's called in english)...

I think that turning should be tied to speed - The car turns only when iit is moving and lower speeds equals more turning angle

They are only allowed for Texture Packs.

@markveidemanis Good :) I like Modding General. I plan to do the best cars mod ever.

@Krock, webdesigner97 Centrifugal(petal?) force is great idea. This + hand break will be awesome!

Also, could you use the set_yaw() on players, so they always look forward?

Yes and no. Maybe I'll do this option switchable, because I like to look back, when I park... back. Mirrors in Minetest are unfortunatelly still not available (If I didn't miss something).

Thanks for feedback :)

BTW: when you are using closed licences, please don't cry later because your mod will be not so much used. I (and not only I) preffer to use free mods..

PS: You are planning Fiat 126P. Are you sure that this is not licenced anymore? Using closed licence and break someones else licence looks weird.

Have fun with centripetalforce :D I failed implementing it ^^

It shouldn't be that hard, it's just a variable which affects the moving-direction after (and while) turning the wheel. Turning wheel + speed = increase centrifugal force

Nobody will cry. I make these modifications primarily for my own fun (and learning strange things). If people find that they want to use them, I'll be very glad :)

PS: You are planning Fiat 126P. Are you sure that this is not licenced anymore? Using closed licence and break someones else licence looks weird.

I don't know if name Fiat 126P is under license or not. I guess it is and you've right: I shouldn't use this name for the car in this modpack. My car will loosely refer to this model, so I have a question to you: what name should I use? It will be a rally car.

Good luck and have fun. :)

My own fork of the car mod / boats mod does one of these things, but turn rate increases with speed, at low speeds. It's a good idea to reduce it again at highest speeds, simulating momentum, i might try this.

[Ragnarok]

philipbenr Thanks :)

@paramat I thought about this, but I have more complicated idea to realize that.

I updated the mod. Now is a real modpack ;)

[Ragnarok]

Ok, I just implemment centrifugal force and car skidding :) I have to find the coefficients, but it is not bad...

HOW DO U USE THIS MOD

[paramat]

I look forward to trying this but can't open or extract a 7-zip file.

This is a .zip file:

If you prefer another format, I'll try to upload that.

[Topywo]

HOW DO U USE THIS MOD

Just like most other mods. You download it, unzip/extract it in your mods folder, no renaming required.

Then enable it in your minetest menu. You can check 'creative'.

The cars will be on page 1 of your creative inventory. Place them with a right-click. Get in by rightclicking again. (The first time I placed the cars they were yellowish from color, the next times they were red).

Drive with your normal movement keys. To steer use a combination of forward/backward + left/right. When you encounter (drive in) a height difference (for example in water), the car wont drive anymore.

I just tried this mod out. It's an enjoyable mod.

What unzipping program do you use? I use 7-Zip. I know it can open .zip, .7z, .rar, and I think it can open tar.gz .

Thanks for that.
I'll install better unzipping software once i get the ubuntu software centre working again :/

It can unzip a heck of a lot more than that. It can only put things into a few though...

@paramat
Just open terminal and paste:

Your phone or window isn't wide enough to display the code box. If it's a phone, try rotating it to landscape mode.

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

Enter

Next time I'll upload a ZIP archive ;)

[paramat]

Thanks!

[rubenwardy]

This looks awesome. Trying it now.
