someone can make the map make a patch and post it and then we inject our hogs and it all works cause we have our speed on our hogs so it should work ver system link should work sounds like it will

What's to stop someone from just giving their warthog like all the best stuff? It sounds kinda pointless?

Don't get me wrong, it does sound like a fun idea, but I think people would just make their hogs too good and ruin everyone's fun.

No we dont each person who enters has modified their hog to their settings, it syncs even if your not host. and stop pretending you know cause you really dont.

All of you, even you xzodia though you seem a bit like an ass, (haha, joke), I want you all to be with the starting team of this once my computer is fixed. You all seem to have the right idea. I would like to thank everyone for the responses. Hopefully, if i can get this going, this will be something new for everyone to know about.

And I'm still looking for advanced map modders. PM me if you are the person im looking for. I will also need a few pics of previous modded maps.

The vehi above is the only custom vehi with custom collision(unless someone made there own, but thats unlikely since I discovered how to do it and only told people I trust how to do it, cause I dont fully understand it yet)

Okay xzodia, me and you need to get this worked out now. First impressions mean alot to me. You came off as an ass at first, so I treated you that way. I never said any one of you were not advanced modders. I said what I said, so that all of you would tell me what you can do. You did, and I thank you for that. And don't think I'm being an ass when I say this, but just becuase you discovered what you did (which is utterly amazing may I say, great work) doesn't mean you are the 'only' one who has discovered it. But that is beyond the subject. Thank you for showing me what you can do. That is all I was asking. And it does not pain me to say, I would appreciate it very much if you would be on this team. I understand that you are part of TLM, I'm not trying to take you from them. lol. I hope that we have all of this worked out now. And I'm sorry for any miss understandings.

No no, I don't need any help. I do things like this all of the time. I know what I'm doing when it comes to computers, just some time I fuck up a little bit. lol. But I learn from my mistakes. Thank you anyways.

Well, I was thinking spawning a about 16 different hogs, (yes 16) with different skins kinda like pimp skins. Then when party starts everyone gets on anyhog and it will be modded acording to their specs. (also I plan to make a hog modder app that would regulate the what can be done and what can without much confusion) Also as far as my and snakejkights zone scripts they are SLC, for example vehicle telporting is SLC and also bsp switching should be but hasnt been acordingly tested

well, i just planned on doing it on regular mp maps to start with. Just get everyone knowing about it. Then move on to custom modded maps, then a mappack, then comps. But, yes, that is a great idea.

supermodder911, rules will be set for the comps. when they are held, regular races are just like illegal streetraces. Oh, and just incase some of you didn't know, there really isn't a point to skinning during the races, becuase only you will be able to see the skin, they wont. I think you'll be able to see the host skin, not sure though, can't remember.

Over system link you cant see others skins. latinomodder is talking about putting 16 standard set hogs on a map, making a patch, giving it out to everyone, then each person injects there modded warthog into it. Now when they load the map over system link, all 16 warthogs will have the skin that that one person had on his or her modded warthog, each person will see there own modded warthog, not others. I'll see all 16 warthogs with my skin and my control, you'll see all 16 with your skin, and your control. get it? im tired and can't really explain things when I am. sorry :? going to bed now.. if any of you have an XBC account, PM your name to me. night night

lol I know, I'd be happy to help cause it would be awsome to get this working
and I said I might not be the only person who has discovered it, but I am the only person to show it and with custom collision being such a big thing it would suggest im the only person who has...

now I think we need to sort a few things out:

-So as to ensure SLC it would be better to have separate hogs which can be built into a map
-This would also make more people want to do it because it allows more creativity with skinning as such
-We could make a race track starter, im thinking:

-Containment (Lightmap doesnt make Machs green)
-Water only (no other SBSP stuff)
-A Start/Finish Line
-So way of winning
-Skinned Platforms of some type eg Machs(more than 1 type to allow things such as thin tracks)
-Anything else you can think of

Okay, when it comes to actual map editing (collision, machs, ect.), I don't know to much. I was just now getting into skinning right before I f**cked up my computer. SO with that said, let me see if this is right; for the first track, use containment. With only water, except for the track (skinned platforms). Right? If so, that sounds great for a first track. But first I really want to sit down and compile a tutorial on modding warthogs, and I also can't officially get started on this until my computer is fixed. Hopefully today or tomorrow. Oh, what does SLC mean?
