Update :

Here's couple of screens of the police department.

Mixture. Includes Goverment equipment vehicle, Home land security, Presidential forces and traffic police.(60% finished) (Need to make the corolla a bit smaller, light bars and logos)


Riot Force Police (90% Finished) (needs exporting and adding to game)


Crime Police (80% finished) (Lightbars and logo's left)



What you guys think?

Thanks,

Have you started putting them ingame?

[Tarek]

Have you started putting them ingame?

Not yet no, I'm having serious trouble with exporting them and importing them into the game, Zmodeler is really a pain. I need help with zmodeler if anyone can help please inform me please

I'm planning on releasing a private alpha release which will include at least 15 different fully functioning vehicles in the game, each release after that will include more stuff until going to the beta which include scripts and stuff like that. Most probably first stable public release will include firestations, police stations, service centre and a hospital.

Its not that hard. But making SketchUp models is bad for EM4 cause SketchUp sucks (its an architectural 3d designer, never designed for maing much else) so it doesnt want to convert properly.

Either way: if you have SketchUp Pro (or you can use the free way) all you need to do is export your SU model to a .3ds and then open up Zmodeler2 Registered and import them in. then its probably going to be screwed up model wise and Zmodeler2 has some problems with the skins so (this goes for everybody) you should NOT skin with SU. then once editing is done, you detach the parts and name all the separate parts (the body, wheels, doors, etc) with the Scene Nodes Browser and save. then export each to .v3o

IMPORTANT: save the .v3o with the name you gave the piece in the Scene Nodes Browser.

If you want i can get some pics or do it for you.

Thank you VERY much, I will try to do it the way you said it. I'll inform you if I need help.

Thank you

Eh, No luck.

Thanks in advance,

Sketch of the Police Main station I'm planning on making,




This is just a sketch though, the blue boxes are windows, helipad on top, garage at the back to spawn police vehicles. and the box between the windows in the image above is the police station sign.

Hey,

Thanks for your interest in helping me, Um.. Do you have any experience with Zmodeler though?

[iWolf]

I might be able to help you with Zmodler.
All I need you to do is just find the blueprints of the vehicle.
Including Top Bottom Front And Sides.
Thanks!
