9 New Chassis, Coming later today...

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Deathangel and I are just in the process of getting nine new chassis types ready for the game. Yes, 9! I won't get to finish my part of the work until later unfortunately, but here's a sneak peek: The ambulance will be rare, fast and very tough. I think I'll make this one never for sale, but only obtainable when you run into high-skilled NPC wilderness gangs: The moose is a mid-size car, a little larger than the symph and with a better engine capacity: The chevalier is similar: The spirit, another mid-range car, is slightly bigger/roomier but engine cap is the same as the symph: The voyager is slightly faster and lighter, and with a bigger engine capacity. Not quite a muscle-car but getting there: The estate is a clumsy 6-seater, good for budget taxi missions. I forsee many Road Ronins dying in these  (j/k vikk) The semi tractor could prove to be a fast, though very ungainly, vehicle. It has a good engine capacity of course. Tractor-trailer rigs aren't yet implemented in terms of the physics, but these babys could make for some funny racing action: The fire engine, similar to the ambulance, will be a powerful and sturdy vehicle, and one that is hard to find and impossible to buy: The boxvan is larger than the carrier van, but otherwise similar. If anyone can suggest further ways of differentiating all those mid-range cars, in terms of gameplay, let me know.. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 11, 2007, 1:56 pm Last edited Aug 11, 2007, 10:01 pm by *sam*

Though the fireengine could be some kind of armoured combat truck.  Maybe more cars for pirates instead? ......................... vet cont zom slay2013 marshal wv Posted Aug 11, 2007, 2:03 pm

Seiler Pestilence Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Storytellers Posts: 946 Joined: Apr 29, 2007 Actually I gotta admit I like seeing a bunch of cars with overlap avail. small differences in handling and accleration could make for some interesting pro-racing class events, aka-"mid sized sedan only" ......................... vet deathrceL1 wv Posted Aug 11, 2007, 3:19 pm

Jag Cancer Jags Marauders Sunday Driver Renegade Group: Members Posts: 98 Joined: Jul 23, 2007 Agree with ya Seiler. Overlap imho is required in multiplayer games. It allows players to choose a base chassis that suits them so you will actually end up with variety as opposed to everyone driving the same car in each category. ......................... vet Posted Aug 11, 2007, 4:03 pm

Hak The Khans Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 132 Joined: Jul 24, 2007 kinda obvious, but how about having the ambulance a bonus to medic skills for the highest first aid char in any wilderness calculations? ......................... vet Posted Aug 12, 2007, 7:29 am

I think that'd be kinda cool, also a water cannon turret on the fire engine once those are implemented would add some flavour aswell ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 12, 2007, 7:31 am

Jansan Vigilante Knights Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 1,070 Joined: May 7, 2007 Fantastic, glad to see some more mid-size cars. Love 'em. Also, glad to see another mission/trade vehicle will be available. I really hope it won't be that rare. ......................... vet Posted Aug 13, 2007, 1:04 am

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Does the Semi Tractor use the trucking skill? It's less than 500 bulk, but it probably should use the skill regardless... ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Aug 13, 2007, 5:22 pm

*sam* The Salthill Sluggerz Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Lead Developer Posts: 16,780 Joined: Jan 19, 2006 Alo: it doesn't right now, but I'm just in the process of changing it so trucking skill is defined by chassis type, independently of its size. So the 'trucker' chassis will be: 2 axle lorry ambulance boxvan semi tractor fire engine ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Aug 13, 2007, 5:29 pm
