[Josh]

I tried to make cars but I failed, the only thing I know is that its needs 4 rotation frames, maybe speed, x, y, h, w maybe

[Sometheotown mayor]

Something like this lobby ?

Code: Select all

[
{
"id":"$testcar_1",
"type":"car",*/(could also be fire/police/medic/*
"height":1,
"width":1,
"frames":
[{"bmp":"car1.png"},
{"bmp":"car2.png"},
{"bmp":"car3.png"},
{"bmp":"car4.png"}],
}
]

[Lobby]

The game isn't designed for such things

However, you're right, the "type" has to be "car" and there's no width nor height, just frames. You can override existing cars by using the same id. That's currently the only way to get own cars into the game, as the game choses the correct car by it's unique id.

Here a short sample how to override the fire <brigade> car:

Code: Select all

[
  {
    "override":true,
    "id":"$carfirebrigade00",
    "type":"car",
    "frames":[
      {"bmp":"my_firebrigade.png","w":23,"h":15,"count":4}
    ],
	"v2":true
  }
]

using this image:

You have to provide a multiple of 4 frames. You can provide for example 3 cars by using 12 frames. The game will then select one of these cars randomly. "v2" is used here as it makes defining car frames easier. I recommend just to use it.

The result for the sample looks like this:



Existing car ids you may want to override:
$carres00
$carres01
$carres02
$carind00
$carind01
$carind02
$carfirebrigade00
$carpolice00
$carbus00
$carswat00
$tank00
$mltry_truck00
$carmedic00

Thank you very much lobby!!

[Sometheotown mayor]

Fire bridge ? XD
WOOO I got something right !
I don't really know what I would like to change so for now, no

[CommanderABab]

Make them all subcompacts so that more may fit on the road.

[Josh]

Lobby, can you please add cars

[Josh]

I think the game reads id's of the cars

[CommanderABab]

[Lobby]

That's what you can do by using override

That's what you can do by using override

Without overriding*
