I started using GoDaddy back in the day when it was owned by Parsons. I used to know his first name but it escapes me now. He built it up to be a premier hosting company. He started out in Iowa as an application developer called, you guessed it, Parsons Software. I had purchased several app packages from him. He sold out all of his software to various companies including "Intuit" and moved to Arizona. There he started GoDaddy. He only sold domains at the beginning and slowly bought servers in order to host web sites. He then started "renting" out dedicated server space. However, just in the past year or two, he sold GoDaddy. They are having a slight rough patched reorganizing. It is still a good Company. That said, I went to look at iPage. They seem to be going out in full force to get business and have great features at a super cost at $7.99. I see that they are trying to get a large number of new clients by reducing it to $1.99, to begin with.

If I may, as much as I have been a GoDaddy patriot, I can recommend going with iPage. If it doesn't work out transferring to GoDaddy will be seamless and as smooth as silk.

On the previous page AmenMoses offered to save my brain from meltdown by making scripts to get my trailers working with my trucks and did he deliver, here they are in action.



@Flatlander, thanks for the info, I decided to go with iPage.

Very Nice.

Impressive, good sir!

Nice bit of collaboration going on there guys, nice work

Dave

now this is A plus kind of work, Bod and Moses fantastic , i can see in my mind a Truck tycoon game. lol

Lol, I notice no attempt to reverse the trailer into the depot!

I've only managed to reverse it between the truck and trailer where it was originally parked once, I don't think my hard drive is large enough for the Bandicam video it would take to record reversing into the depot, I've actually made another piece for the depot so it can have large doors at each end.

that looks really good

Just a bunch of funky math.

I'm currently playing around with gears for PM as well : https://vimeo.com/329302560/951141ccd0

Also in other news I've got myself a Kinect wired up to my PC and am playing around with that.

Edited to add: Yes I know Microsoft have discontinued it but there are a ton of cheap second hand ones now available and I want to experiment with motion capture, my brother down under has some business ideas he wants me to experiment with,

Fantastic!

The gears are very cool ,nice one Amen

Dave

incredible !!
I just shows what can be achieved .

Driving tests moved on a bit.

i tested once your drivible truck, it requies a good pc, otherwise it will be horrible lagging.

Bod, this is so good, and also the sound speeds up with the speed of the cars and trucks, is that also part of AmenMoses script.?

@PCS : Yes, you can control the pitch of sounds whilst they are playing.

@osiem80 : the most likely cause of that is incorrect settings in the entities, for example the steering wheel must be 'physics off'.

Good stuff here!

Hi Bod, i have been thinking about all your vehicles you have here, they are so nice, but you know what would go nice with them ,
a nice taxi. maybe one of those yellow ones, we always see in the movies.

Fantastic work and thanks for the nice video's
keep up the good work.

It's on my list, when I was experimenting with the test level I use for trying out the scripts I modify for each vehicle I noticed the car I made for the Jules Verne competition handled terrain much better than the others because it has better clearance between the wheels and body, so I'm making a monster truck next with huge wheels.

Great work but isn't it time this was moved to 3rd party Models & Media and renamed perhaps to " Bods Showcase " . It shouldn't really be in Free Models and Media if it isn't ..

Very cool,i hope Amen can work that magic on my buggy model

Dave

@Bod: It looks so great
@AmenMoses i dont see any flying/physics, but when it comes to that your a "old" wise wizard

well done to both of you, this is stunning wok in GameGuru. AAA quality.

This is awesome Bod great work.

A bit of an improvement for riding the motorcycles.

A lot more realistic looking now

Dave

I've been driving again on the eurotruck 2 sim for the last few weeks but i see we can make a eurotruck gameguru edition now.

Next drivable.

Great model Bod, very clean lines

Hi Bod beautiful car

one thing I noticed was the steering wheel reflects the terrain so I have took the liberty and created a custom interior cube map for you, red leather seats just rename the attached cube.dds to 'your texture name'_cube.dds and see if that looks ok

Thanks GraPhix but the texture for the steering wheel is part of the main model texture, I make the whole vehicle and then part it out for the driving scripts so I use one texture. I have used cube maps in my WIP game and I'm not a big fan of them to be honest, I see them as a poor work around instead of having real reflections like dynamic environmental reflection and refraction in another engine I use. I don't mind the steering wheel reflecting the terrain and sky as there are windows in the car and the outside would be reflected plus I only made it for fun, I will most likely never use it.
