Battle Stage: Lincity Towers

[machrider14]

Good.

This will be the 1st stage on STK to be set at nighttime (excluding the space tracks and cresent crossing) and set at downtown of the same name of the open source game.

[machrider14]

Would anyone like to work on this arena?

[machrider14]

Looks promising...

Lincity Towers.7z

(3ds, obj, vrml)

it sure is.

[machrider14]

I'm gonna be adding the surrounded buildings. Maybe some building elements from the former Skyline track.

[machrider14]

I would be interested if you would like help with Lincity Towers.

I will be doing the towers (stage only).

I'm looking for someone who can:

Do the surrounding towers
Make a nighttime city skybox/background
Add some additional features to it.

Ask me if you would like to do one of these things.

Here's a brand new preview of the stage. Now this time it's bigger and I added half of the surrounding towers. I changed the background to make it nighttime and the Ubuntu Tower is now larger which is brand new. It's 20% done.

The newest preview of Lincity Towers. 20% done.

These are the city buildings I've been working on for the surrounding area. Only need 20-40 city buildings to cover up the city cause it sets at downtown.

The city buildings i've been working on.

You got any good city building ideas?

hum not, but I wanted to tell you that you're doing a great job

I think that you can make a try with 10 building to begin, if you use a clever skybox texture...
An example with Mirror's Edge city (of course, as it is not the same kind of game, the 3D city is still huge. It's just to show the trick) :

good idea.
I'll save this image and figure out some city buildings to work on.

[machrider14]

Still making some new towers. Just hang on.

Here's a 2nd newest preview of the city battle arena.

This looks like it's going to be a fun arena. Waiting for the first release. Keep up the good work!

[machrider14]

I made a brand new metal bridge which connects all the towers to the Linux Building. Unlike the previous model, it's in a trapezoid form instead of an arch and it's in two halves.

The new metal bridge

Here's the 3rd preview of the city arena. Added the GIMP Tower, Linux Building, metal bridges (3/4), and extra skyscrapers of the city area.

Now I've been thinking about the surface, maybe a satellite view of the city roads in nighttime. Any suggestions?

It's Wonderful, very very good work

I have downloaded the file on the first page of the topic. I extracted the file and copy it in the supertuxkart\data\tracks order and STK doesnt show it in the arena mode. So I cant play it.

please help me!

[machrider14]

please help me!

this isn't done.

[machrider14]

Here's the 4th preview of the city arena. I added the Audacity Tower, the blue metal bridge, and added more skyscapers around half of the arena. The surface is not here yet, but still be waiting.

45% done.

[Nick1000]

Cool towers!

[Crendgrim]

Read the thread. Please.
In the very post above yours it's said "45% done". What do you think why it isn't on the add-on server? Right, because it isn't ready yet. Keep patient.

[machrider14]

I've been thinking about expanding the features for the city stage. Like adding a helicopter for viewing the city (no there won't be a spectator mode). It flies around the city when it leaves the helipad (which i'm about to work on the next tower), Of course some spotlights around the city for the nighttime style. If you have some stuff that are interested to have, ask me.
