Update:
Door slicing animations for crashed cars.

Still WIP. How do firefighters use the jaws of life on cars with crushed roofs? Would it be possible to animate the roof of a vehicle being cut off?
 

I've seen the animation in a German mod but i can't remember the name
 but here is a video of Firefighters taking off the roof for an MVA

Thanks. Now all I have to do now is replicate this process in EM4 frame by frame. I wish animating shit wasnt so hard in the game.

You can always try to make the roof act as a sliceable door, adapt the X,Y,Z coordinates and change the revolving angle.

A nice idea, but perhaps more trouble than it's worth. Don't forget that slicing a roof off would require modelling interiors for every vehicle you want to use it on.

Cutting off a roof would require the interior modeled for the vehicle, imo that adds alot of polys that otherwise serve no purpose... You can "fake" it but it won't look as good, instead I'd go ahead and just do the door(s) as slicable...  Cheaper way perhaps but this game doesnt have to have real interiors and adding in that detail would waste alotta weight otherwise useful elsewhere.

Well...I've weighed my options and have decided to fake it like the original EM4 cars. It really is too time consuming to make the interiors for 8 or so cars.

Anyway, I've also started modelling a schoolbus body which will use my International truck model for the front. Does anyone have clear blueprints and reference pictures of this?

Its the half of the month and no new skins have been added to the contest so I unfortunately have to shut it down due to lack of interest.
To tft.cf and olmyster...can you please PM me your news van skins and utility truck skins?

Here's a little preview btw of the news van in its final form:

I will probably replace the utility truck with a tow truck model. Gonna finish the school bus first.

I send you PM with my skins tomorrow.

Thank you for letting me know.

How come only now someone told me about these bugs? I was expecting people to chastize me for releasing it with so many bugs.

Noticed it awhile ago, just only got roun to reporting it, sorry for the delay, missing headlights aside, love the models though, thanks for releasing them. Are you going to release a civvy bus anytime soon?
