Car Creating Questions

[davidMC1982]

Hi All,

I'm modelling a Viper GTS-R for V-Drift but have a few questions/issues to get it all working.

1) Vehicle size. Other than the car in the modelling pack, are there any other sizing quidelines?

2) Model position. I've modelled the car around the origin. I think the JOE script uses the object centre as its reference point, but when the car is in the game it appears to be about foot in the air. Where should the model/object centre be positioned?

3) The collision box. Does this have to be a cube? Also, should it cover the bottom of the body or the bottom of the wheels?

4) Wheels. They appear to be postioned in the car.ini file. Looking at other car files they all appear to have a negative z coordinate. I tried altering this to match the car (see number 2 above), but ended up with a car stuck on the startline in a constant skid or collision. How does the position of the wheels, body and collision box interact?

5) Presumably, the suspension position in the car file should correspond with the wheels (roughly). What happens if they don't?

Many thanks,

David
