I may not be able to collab (sorry bud) but I can hit you up with a bit of a tidbit of infromation.kostraelpayaso wrote: ↑05 Jun 2022 10:16 I used to have a custom version of Jazzycat's modern cars that only left the GMC van and few others. The GMC van had multiple liveries that could be edited, so it was a nice addition to the game as commercial vehicles is what for example, Jazzycat's classic vehicle pack sort of lack, as it only has an Econoline van. For the bus pack, from what I've seen, for older buses it has only what it looks like an improved version of the MCI coach. What I could do is check how does he do to make multiple liveries spawn for a single model, and try to do the same for the vanilla MCI coach, as for this project I rather edit what is already ingame than use other people's work, as long as I don't have any sort of agreement with them to use their work. Also, I guess it's preferable to use the least amount of AI traffic packs, as I guess it takes a toll on performance, so it'd be preferable to use few large AI traffic packs than many of them with small edits. I think for most of the part, Jazzycat's classic car pack does a pretty good job, but the latest updates have relied too much on sport than regular cars in my opinion, while there are still many 'normal' car models available that would be a nice addition to the pack, like K cars, 70s big LTDs, box trucks, etc.
Some interesting bus models I would like to work with would be the GM TDH-5303 and the GM RTS. There is lot of references available to make municipal and city level textures.
I do agree with that the lack of emergency vehicles would be a problem. It thought about editing Jazzycat classic pack and use the Impala and LTD for personal use but, like I said, I'd prefer to do a collab with somebody and publicy release it. It could be fun to do a classic emergency and public service pack in the same style as the Municipal Police Traffic Pack, doing taxis, cop cars, ambulances or public works vehicles specific to the states, cities, etc. GTA offers a vast amount of vehicles to work with. I still have many references and pics in my hard drive from back when I used to do that stuff for GTA. My only setback is my lack of modeling skills. So if anyone is interested in a collab, hit me up
Was talking to my dad yesterday, and he grew up in 1988 (was 13 then) and he remembers people driving cars from the 60s 70s and 80s around 1988.
So most of Jazzycat's old cars, could potentially work in this pack, just to make it feel more vibrant. I know this is strictly 80s but some 1960s and 1970s cars wouldn't hurt to make it feel more retro.
Also, I made this just for kicks. If you want to use it in your billboard pack, by all means, go ahead
