Hatrus, you my boy! I was kind of late in posting, but I never really post here until I heard of all the shyze some little pre-pubesent punks are slinging at you. Let me lay it down for ya:

You rule! You the man! and your very, VERY good at what you do! Don't EVER let people tell you otherwise, because you are too important , a great asset and friend to the JA/JO community.

If there is anything I can ever do for you, just email me: se7enraven@hotmail.com I can skin, do sounds, map (a little) and if you EVER need anything, just ask and I will be on it like white-on-rice! With no obligation or payment. Keep up the good work and hold your head high, where it belongs! PEACE!

These pods look amazing, you guys are doing stellar work here. This should be one of the best vehicle releases ever for JA, and the full-fledged podracing mod sounds like it'll be killer as well. :D

I think I have everything under control. As we both know there is no way u can get a pod in a regular map and actually use it. So we will have to make this into a mod. I am gonna try to get somemore inside help from the JA Racer ppl and go from there. From the models of the actual racers we might or might not get them, it just depends on what will happen.

Talk to stotto, I think hes pretty good with shaders. Ive got the Boonta Eve videos recorded from the game and im sending them not to you XG over msn. Z, if you want them msg me on msn, I'll have a few more for you. Make sure you have real media player, cause im rendering them to rm to be smaller.

And to encourage creativity and custom podracers, Im also going to release the following:

Podracer VDK (Vehicle Development Kit):
1. Example podracers
2. Podracer prefab parts
3. Skins from podracers
4. Shaders, EFX, and .veh Files
5. Small tutorial to making a podracer
6. Instructions to making a proper .skin file
7. Notes, tips, and ideas
8. Duncan's JKA vehicle tutorial

Its good to see people contributing to the community. I'd recommend passing that along to OJP also.

Well, the most that the basic core will support is 64 TOTAL vehicles, once you start getting close to that number, the more memory will be required hence a performance hit on the game (most likely)

2) It's too expensive even if it's cheapest somewhere. If ya want to make vehicles, why not just download gmax for free?

To reply to 7's question:

I bought Max 6 for about 1950 USD. I have to have a licenced comercial version for my job, if I take my work home. I got it cheap cause I got a good deal, but if you look online you can probably find a version for 2500 or less. Not as expensive as you thought huh? Its amazing how cheap its become now days, I remember when Max cost 10,000 dollars.

There is also an academic version you can get a 1 year licence for. But you have to send in a copy of your class schedule to prove you are a student I think.

You can also get Max from "other" locations. This is the "dont expect an answer to that question" the guy was talking about. If you dont know what Im talking about then I would not suggest looking into it. I dont know if they still do, but I remember when Autodesk had a 10,000 dollar reward for anyone that successfully turned in someone that was using an illegal version of Max. So be careful.

If you do get your hands on a copy then I'd be glad to give you the basics over MSN or AIM messenger. Also I sent you a mail cause I might need your help so look for it.

With all due respect TFP, its Zappa, not Zeppa. And your only adding to the fire.


Now going back to the topic at hand. No new pods have been put into game yet, but the mappers are getting a good start on the maps, especially XG. I have recorded some video of the tracks and sent it to most of the mappers to help them get ideas and such. I am sure in a few days we will have a few more pods and a few more pics to show off.

well to be honest, to me 2000 is about half as what I spend per month buying stuff for my gf, my house, adding stuff to my car, and for myself. I set a budget to only spend so much a month like most people do. But I can see how 2000 could look like a lot to kids. It could buy an ok computer or a nice guitar.

The one you tried was Sebulba's Pod, which was made by Duncan and was poorly edited. Our pods are gonna go fast, it will be like the pod racer game. You will have unlimited boost which will make it go even faster.
