Here's my first attempt at a skin for a game. I found a template and just played with colors, stickers, etc...This is what I'm driving right now on GT Legends.

thats the rendering from the game? I dont know if those are even the right terms but

WOW that car looks amazing.

Sean, Very nice stuff!!

Nice!
What's "moronpedal.com"?

can you make the running surface more realistic? put some tire snots outside and inside the line. And make a bald spot at the apex.. also a bit of litter here and there would be appropo

that's a screen grab from a replay. All rendered real time.

MoronPedal sells Disc Brake bolt kits for mountain bikes.

Tim,
The racing surface actually looks decent, my angle and the glare of the sun have obscured it a bit...no marbles, though, blut plenty of oil on it.

well done!!!!

doesn't GT Legends come with a 914/6 GT ?
I'm pretty sure I saw a demo with one in it...

yes, this is it. Before I reskinned it, it was the factory orange. Nice looking, but I wanted to make it more personal. The inside is still a bit orange, but I hope to figure out how to make it match the exterior.

ha... I looked again :cleaning-glasses-smiley: and spotted the fender flares
at first glance the pic looks like a stock/narrowbody

still... very cool job!

Are you running the demo? The web site says it won't be released till February.

That looks fantastic!

I want to play


KT

It's been released, just not in the US. I bought an imported version on Ebay.

Here's Version 2 as I'm being passed by a 906 at Spa

nuther - I'm having too much fun both driving and painting!

can you see our favorite vendors' logos?

Wow, That is really cool.

I've been playing GT Legends some trying to steer with the keyboard, unsucessfully. You guys using a gaming wheel, if so what brand?

That kicks ars!

What game system does that play on?

gogamer.com has them already too...


I can't be waiting until february

sorry for eating up bandwidth with this, but I'm having a ball!

I can't wait to get this...

I d/l'd it from bittorrent, to put off buying it until Feb. but the copy protection is crazy... they win...

I d/l games to get a good demo... if I like 'em I buy, but GTL beat me... I'll have to buy from Europe

Wayne,
there are separate S/Ns for the disk and the multiplayer mode. Every time the game starts it checks the DVD - takes about 15 seconds. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I think the disks may be serialized - or at least have a huge list of approved S/Ns buried on it somewhere.

yep... the "fix" to get around it involves(short version):

mount the .iso using Daemon tools or alcohol120%, edit your registry, start an xp background process, disable the dvd node, unplug the cd-roms IDE-cable, run a hack program that patches xp temporarily to ignore starforce validations...

hence: they win! that is too much trouble to save shipping from UK...

but yea, the S/N you get on the box has to match the specific DVD...

the last game that "won" was HL2... their SOURCE network attachment was impossible to get around, too

Dave,
This is a PC game, I've got a P4 2.8 with a gig of ram and an ATI 9700 Pro video card with 128 megs ram, it plays ok, but I really need a 256 meg video card.

Blitz,
I'm using an older Logitech Wingman Formula Force steering wheel. The current version of this retails at $65, but I bet you can find it cheaper on Ebay or something. Used isn't necessarily a good bet because there are bearings and play can become an issue. Logitech has a really nice new one called Momo Racing...it's real slick ~$100.

Mine came from Michigan, plenty of them on Ebay that are already here in the states. I ordered mine on Friday and had it on Tuesday

YIKES!! I won't be playing that one anytime soon. My PC is... shall we say slower than a stock West Coast issue 1.7L 914.

Oh BCinSC... How about a swap. I'll help more on your car and you build me a machine to play this??? I need to put that MOMO leather wheel to some use.

Just ordered mine from gogogames on ebay...45 bucks shipped from CA. I've been playing with the demo for a few days.

I've been playing the demo on my p4 2.0, gig-o-rama and a 128 mb. It plays fine. However, with more video memory, you could probaly turn up the eye candy settings.

I've been playing the demo with no problems on a 1.1ghz AMD...1g ram and 256 video. Try the demo for free and see if it will run...turn down the graphics and sound options...may work.

yep, I have a 2.2ghz, 512 RAM, and 256 on video... 9800 pro will run Q4, no problems... GTL is light duty compared

I'm excited now! I've figured out not only how to skin an existing car, but create more unique cars (based on their existing models). The game comes with 1 914, which is cool, but not enough. I've now added 3 more! Here are a couple screen grabs of my current progress.

914s now include:
14 - CFR - Chris Foley Racing
370 - Factory GT
632 - MoronPedal.com
922 - MoronPedal / 914World.com

I plan to add about 10 or so 914s so I can race a full field of teeners with no duplicates!

can ya chop the A pillar? and make an thorshammer?


oooh... and a yellow ULF for jp?

no can do on the A pillar.

Here's car 5 #555 - Dan Callicott it has some issues that I'll resolve later.

nuther

last one for today

That is so awesome


KT

frickin sweet, i need to pick up this game, as well as a wheel, driving w/ a joypad or a keyboard in the demo resulted me in going WAY off the track

I don't see how people drive harder games like this one, GPLegends, etc...without a wheel! It's gotta be hard!

Oh, when you guys start getting the game I can give you the cars I've been working on and show you how to add them and others to your game!

QUOTE

That would be cool...do you just re-skin the existing other cars or are they complete with 914 physics? I've done some skins for another game using photoshop...seems I needed to add a plug-in for a foreign format....what format are the GTL skins?

dds skins
cars are made via a .car file

cars are additional 914s added to the game, so the physics are 914 correct

do john roger's six now

actually, I did the #87 Altec/Lansing car...I know it was an IMSA body, but GT style will have to do...notice the blacked out chrome

nutha

eins more

uno mas

OK, this one is the last one for tonite...

I made the #87 car have a lot more exhaust than the others!
