very nice. So let me get this straight, you can use the HL2 Engine to make you own mod for the game, but you will create all of the models and textures sound enviornment etc, and then you launch it using hl2. Kinda like a bf2 mod but you are making like all new stuff?

Yup. The HL2 Source Engine is a very open and capable engine. It was even used in Vampires The Masquerade - Bloodlines, which for those that dont know, was an RPG style FPS. Its been modded in loads of ways. This is gonna be great when its done.

I did say you would be able to buy garages or buy land to build them.. How would you like to have this garage in this game?

I will definitly be adding one of those into the game.

This game sounds really cool

Here is a concept of the final map. The Underground map is also in there for size comparison.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v496/ ... arison.jpg

This is basically a small portion of a state but is a whole entire county. This is completely fake and is not a real city.

As you can tell this map is pretty large compared to the NFS city. Well, becuase it is. Imagine this like 4 Carbon cities put together and that is how big this place is. However, when traveling from city to city, you will experience a load time. Of course you will be prompted if you really want to travel to the next city. If not, you will just respawn in the opposite direction. This will prevent unwanted load times in the middle of games. Load areas will basically be each downtown + its outlying area. Imagine it like cutting this into a pie with three slices.

The county is divided into 3 cities, each with a downtown area with outlying outskirts to each city core. On the outlying area reside either Urban areas or Suburban areas. Urban areas will have some of the stores and population found in downtown, just much less traffic, however, you will not find the higher ranked racers in these areas. SubUrban is really the place to meet for races or park your bumbum at. A lot of the main street racing and crew setting up will take place in these areas, even though you will be able to race in Urban and Downtown. Only it will be harder to race with the particular cramped areas.

NICE! I'm guessing the blue lines are highways? (Or rivers...)

korge · Post by **korge** » 16 Dec 2006, 02:32

The Bold lines are Interstate highways that connect the entire county. The thinner lines are local highways. The local streets and roadways are not pictured (cant draw that detailed).

Here is a cleaner map picture with all the city names. Enjoy.

Some of the cars I don't know of... though I love the idea of waiting two game weeks for an improt to arrive.

I'll keep an eye on this.

But where are the bloody FPV's and Holdens, hey?

Stig is handling all the Foreign cars. He said he is putting together a list. When I get that list I will update the current list.

Btw, to let you all know, all the information will be logged on the first post so whenever I post a new thing, check the first post of this thread to see the whole change. (for example, I posted the new map, well on the first page, I gave some info on each district)

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 16 Dec 2006, 03:55

whoa firetrucking hell, thats one awesome carlist so far, would it really be possible to model all of those?

Also, the first post has been updated with the new WIP Foreign carlist thanks to Stig.

Wow korge, this game looks like it's coming along good so far. I really hope that this game is worked on until it's finished. I really wish I could help but I'm not good enough in 3d modeling or texturing to help out.

Here is a update on the original map that locates all the dealerships and homes. I havent placed shops yet till my team gets a mapper.

Also, you will notice 4 new regions. these new regions are the urban locations. Suburban locations are basically the outskirts of the Urban areas.
