Crunch Time inc?

Ok so, Easter almost done and we still don't have a working car lol. The next two weeks we need to get this shit sorted. I'm working from now until Wednesday so from then on i'll be in uni pretty much all day every day until it's finished - I think you all should be too so we can really get cracking and hopefully get some help from Bal.

Deadlines:
09 May Portfolio/Showreel
16th May is Final Presentation

Following week is games republic and showcase event.

Let's fricking do iittt.

HUD

Done the scripts to get the hud to scale properly, changed the native resolution to 1440 x 900 (15" MacBook Pro).

Need to find out how to change the colour of the text (or might just use a texture), then add some nice looking elements to it.

latest problem

so got the car to work but now it falls through the floor

any suggestions?

just the back wheels now

so the front tyres rotate perfect but when u press the accelerat they rotate rather than go forwards

car wheel rotation problem

Pivot points

As you know bal was telling us to change the pivot points for the car so that the wheel rotate correctly, i tried to do it on sam''s model but wasn't able to so if sam and toby can adjust the pivot points and upload them onto the dropbox i'll be able to add the script to the car and test it.

Main Menu

Ok Jungle_03 has a main menu in it, Quit button working and single player button working. I think we need to decide on a resolution so we can properly scale the HUD because at 1650x1080 it's all randomly placed on the screen. shall we use the macbook resolution whatever res that is to work from?

Gonna spice the menu up a bit. also need to replace the cars there with the textured versions and get some music on it.

Jungle_03

Just added the ambient music and it loops perfectly, the tunnel is and and terrain fitting properly, working on a main menu at the moment - the fonts are being a bit gay, will do more tomoz. Just a note reminder really not to overwrite that shiz but feel free to work from it.

Order of importance

So I reckon these are the things left to do, most important first.
Car script working, cars are nicely drivable with no issues
Menu screen with various options,  + loads levels
HUD
Sound
Split screen setup/AI/both
Weapons and powerups working
Other small scripts and tweaks, controller setup for 2 player, instantiating cars and cameras based on menu selection etc

Garage WIP

I've got to do a few more assets and texture a few more things but I've uploaded the fbx, max and texture files to dropbox so you can fiddle about with it if something doesnt work properly.

Logo

What logo are we going with for the main title? Once we have that design I can have a go and doing some similar graphics for the HUD text

Start thing

What you reckon? i'll have a go at modelling one, still need to texture my hangar aswell

Epic Fail

car problem - rigid body

Versioning in Dropbox

Think we need to save new versions of the project everytime any of us makes a change, that way everyone can work from the latest version.

I just lost a load of previous work, locator, HUD etc

Also, copy the latest project to your hard drives to work on it, if you are currently working on the project folder in Dropbox and hit save it can automatically overwrite what someone else is currently working on and prevent unity from being able to save anything without a restart.

Poster W.I.P

Just a test render of the poster hardeep designed, still got a few things need to add in. tire tracks/other car/sand spray from tires/make the car dirty

Tunnel

If we're making the tunnel above the water now, the terrain that it sits on will have to be risen. Also, it makes no sense to make it out of glass if its going to be above the ground, may as well have it a brick work with some pillars or something on the outside so you can see out of it. Something like this maybe:

Also aded some background hills around the hangar so it's not just infinite sea.

Sme Promotion work

Aspect Ratio

We need to decide on an aspect ratio to build the game for. The HUD will only really work with one setting so we should pick it soon and then adjust for that. 16:9? or 4:3? or something else?

HUD

Added speedo, but cant get the needle to turn, may have to import as a 3d object and parent to the camera in the right position.

The damage bar can be adjusted via the left border option (0 to 400)

I put the big tree on a different layer for the minimap, and then used a culling mask for the camera looking down to exclude it. The red locator is parented to the 1st person controller currently, and again, has its own layer, which is masked in the 1st person camera (so when you look up you dont see a massive red circle).

Terrain finished

Check the screens, do you think we need anything else?

Need to get the tunnel/hangar/cars textured in and TEST the cars once gagan's script is working.

Once all that is sorted we need to create zie game menu with toby's garage thing. Would be good if we can get all that done before easter?
