An honest attempt at a SRX Mod
- Thread starter SprintRacer92
- Start date
Small Booster Update
Figured id jot down a small booster update
-Parts and Hood coded in.
-Tires now properly UV'd
-HD Tire textures courtesy of James Hodge
-New Paint Scheme courtesy of Smaguris
-Various tweaks were made, mainly debugging some goofs and errors. That took most of my time sadly.

Yes to both, I believe it should be as customizable as possible, I'm sure D0c doesn't disagree.
Ah hell, just noticed this. Sorry I missed your question!
But yes, My current plan is as follows: finish the actual mod part of the mod, then release the template to let painters get a jump, then release the mod itself. And if Smag doesn't beat me to it, ill be decking the template out with various options like contigs and what not.
Pre-releasing templetes is a great way to build interest in a new mod, getting the community excited about the possibilities...good call
Long time no see

Happy (late) thanksgiving, I hope you all have been well. Life's been a rollercoaster over here, but a good one, though... it has slowed my progress on the mod to be blunt. I won't go too far into it as you all aren't reading this for my personal life, but here's the rundown. College has been college, The whole IRL racing deal has been going much better since my last post, I secured my first top5 in 360 Winged Asphalt Sprint Cars last month after a full rebuild of the ride, then some. The lowest of lows create the highest of highs, and boy, things are going up as of now and I hope they stay that way.
But, onto the meat and potatoes of this post: SRX Mod. Unfortunately, life never stops and time for modding becomes scares, so my apologies for the slow updates. Right now, I’m writing this mid-work on the mod, sort of a in the moment post but I hope you don’t mind it. Good news is that we’ve been busy tweaking the model. Colorable rims, roll cages, and drivers are now on the template. I’ve been chipping away at the innards of the car and have most of them in, barring the engine that needs to be redone. Smaguris did a fantastic job as always with the model, and both of us have been busy cruising along at our own snail’s pace. Smag did a kickass job as making the base templates, and it now has the "X" base built in by default, so making SRX style schemes should be as easy as recolor, drag, drop, then export. The only major hiccup so far has been the windows: they don’t work. Me and smag have been banging our heads into the wall reimporting and reexporting, redoing and retexturing the darn thing to no avail: they keep sheering and breaking in-game. Of course, we’ll figure it out eventually, but for now that’s the current roadblock as it stands. Once we finish final textures and the templates, we can finally move to LOD’s then damage. It’ll be fun getting back into the code, I’ve been wanting to code some more so that’ll be nice.
I know its kinda a short and informal post, but I wanted to write something. Hope you all enjoyed the video have a good thanksgiving break!

After studying Mysticals thread, MattyO's old nws devkit, uspits tutorials and other stuffs I somehow managed to code in LOD states first try. I don't know if that's good or bad, but I was expecting a much bigger pushback from errors. Not much else to share, here's some footage of 43 AI @ BBMC Charlotte rounding about 60fps average. Unless i change plans, I'm going to go with 5 LOD states total, it runs really good as is (more than likely due to the car being a cube), and i don't see much need for more. While the LOD states seem to be coded right, there's only two state models done, so it'll get better as I finish those. Hope y'all are having a good new year!

Cool, in that case you can actually use the same undamaged LODs from make0 for all 4 slots for extView like this:
Saves coding/compiling time and reduces potential memory usage/file size with the make 3dos
If/When you do the damage the same can be done as well. One make to cover all 4 slots.

Maybe in the future I could make a 40-50s deal, but right now I'm bogged down with rebuilding my actual car. Had a bit of a hard crash and caught fire last race, so that's taken me back for a moment.
That's a bummer to hear. Hope you get it back up and running. Glad you're ok. What track do you race on?
4-17 Southern Speedway mainly, but I'm with a touring series. We run asphalt 360 winged sprints at about every track thatll let us in florida
this is beautiful! glad someone stepped up to make this! how much percent of the mod would you say is completed?
