customing
 

I think it would be nice if we were able to change our own car.
if there were a garage in which you can buy new colors for your car. just
personalise it. (for about 150$ per new color...)

EXEMPLE:a speedster is mostly red, with white strips. Change it to Balck with yellow strips... or any other.. xD

i tough of it... because it's a long time now : that ther is no new cars...

:pluffy:
:fro:


WAT DO YOU THINK OF IT?

good idea, although I can't use a car atm...:(

That's what I thought about a while ago. But staff said that parts of the car would lag or they would have to make many copy's of the car.

Would be really nice i think.

Chancing tires, Colours, The seats, Windows, Roof or no roof.. that would be nice

id rather have different cars (with different seating capacities) and working trunks

It would be very nice, I believe there use to be a server were the whole server was based on getting your car. Then customizing it and such. It was pretty fun. I know you cant see the tires on era cars but what you could do is make the car tires work on different terrains. So the car would be able to move faster in sand/grass ect.

Tim Rock, Why would you care about tires that you dont see them? They can also change the cars so you do see them.

I disagree, kinda. Not because the idea is bad, but because I think that we do not need cars at all. Era is small, and the new gmap is supposed to be even smaller. There is no need for cars.

Not to mention it would require a lot of work for something that isn't really that important.

Cool ideas, but costs > advantages

So maybe in the future, but it's definitely not a priority right now...sorry =S

Wait, Smaller?! It is already small ;o

It's actually pretty big, and there's so much space that is never used. Next time you log on, take a look at your minimap.

If you remove the skateboards and cars Stefan will hate ya forever :[

You should give credits to Zoo & me who posted this idea, at least Zoo (He posted it).
It's in the "Era ideas" thread.

But as they already say, the new gmap will be smaller so cars will not be needed.

Cars will still exist, don't worry about it...they're just not really practical because you can easily walk everywhere.

And going to a "dump" site to unload the "garbage" I presume?

True, but riding with your car is cool and it is a nice size for racing

It wouldn't lag at all I don't think, providing that we can separate each image part it'd work totally fine. o_O

Oh I was talking about having separated images like fenders or stuff like that instead of make many images of the same car. I was told that for laggy people that the images would look like there following the car.

What do you think of having NPC cars that randomly drive along the freeway? Like if you wanted to attack the car and steal its contents.
just a thought...

Hmm... so you either like the idea, or don't care about it? What about if you don't like the idea?

They were either bull ****ting you to get rid of you, or they didn't know **** about what they were talking about.

This is true. The only reason images would lag behind is if the image drawing was done before the scripted movement.

Nothing that staff should even think about doing currently, but like Sales says...
Totally possible for a post reset production.

most likely had no idea what they were talking about.

either do I really, but I'm going to take a guess and say gani attributes will probably prevent lagging images from happening.

This is a good idea. It would help make cars more unique and it would possibly change the cars in the economy; new custom designs costing more with you picking your own design, resold cars costing less, repainting areas of your car, upgrading your car, etc.

If your talking about the animation frames of the vehicles, all you would need is sprites for the vehicles. One main set, in different colors/styles for that vehicle and just use a param in the gani.

We have this on Atrius, players don't really use it. haha

suggested the working trunks along time ago lol,staff said no
