Kalado's karts

[ctdabomb]

I thought I could keep the same thread as it isn't that long and as the kart will be soon finished.

or you could edit OP title to say "kalado's karts" or something similar

P.S. sort of off topic, but I continued your work from here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=1075 in here: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2782 and was wondering what you thought and if there was anything you did that I didn't include in my newer versions (like stuff you never uploaded)

[kalado]

Yes you're right I changed the name.
Regarding the sandtrack, except the crocodile, everything seems to be there but maybe I could help you with some new models of statues, I read their was a proposition to add more statues to block the karts that don't follow the road. We'll continue this conversation on your thread.

Hmm, how about a dark green or eucalyptus green, going with the panda theme?

[betharatux1]

I tried another color for the car, I have troubles choosing the good one, what do you think about this kind of red, it looks good to my mind.

red... color. hm... i think is good.

[kalado]

Thanks for the advises.

red... color. hm... i think is good.

Indeed I was thinking about red but there are already many red karts.

Good idea, I gave it a try and it looks good, here is a screenshot:

It's Good

[qubodup]

I think the white color is the best so far. Black would seem a good match for this old-timer too.
I also like the orange/brown.

Green for cars seems exclusive to military vehicle camouflage. A car clearly is distanced from eucalyptus.

Perhaps a metal eucalyptus leaf hood ornament.

EDIT: On the other hand, it's a fun racing car in a colorful game. In that case some more paint (a while sprayed eucalyptus leaf shape on both sides?) might add to it.

kalado, amanda losing animation seem weird ( its about when loop time )
will be you fix it ?

[betharatux1]

hm... actually i confuse too, to choosing the good one color
red, green or white like first looks like better, but i still wondering
just try to considered suggest qubodub as well.

[kalado]

I think the colour is the harder step in the making of this kart, I tried to add some green eucalyptus leaves but it didn't look that good, then I made a mix between blue and green, here is a what I got:

I looks quite good to my mind, comments are welcome.

kalado, amanda losing animation seem weird ( its about when loop time )

You're right, I will fix it in the next version.

For the color, I'll still try an orange and red carpaint, and then I will choose a color.

No, the green color is good

What about British Racing Green? http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Racing_Green

[betharatux1]

between blue & green...well the texture quite good too.
how if you show many stylish texture have you recommended ? and use kind like vote + discuss again, what will be better one texture, with STK people. (suggest )
[i am sorry if this my suggest make you feeling bad ]

[kalado]

No, the green color is good

Yes, I think I'll keep this one. Anyway I tried the British racing green and a mix of orange and red:

Which one do you prefer?

The first kart (Green) It's Better

[qubodup]

With green, I'm worried that the kart will be hard to see with grass/trees behind it, giving it an unintended camouflage advantage.

Without having tested in a level, I prefer the british racing green one.

[Arthur]

I think your fears are not very likely to come true. I think it would be pretty hard to not see a moving kart in any case. Maybe a little harder in CaveX, but probably not too bad.

[Iridium]

That kart design... ugh. Looks all fat and bloated IMO but whatever floats your boat man, your design.

Hm.. an anti-joke regarding windowmaker (or is it?)

I'd say oh well, "these kind of old timers look like that" .
I guess I agree that it doesn't look sporty at all (as does the Android tank for example). Super Mario Wii has some strange retro designs but all look pretty sporty for example. http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Daytripper-DiddyKong.png http://www.mariowiki.com/File:ClassicDragster-Mario.png
I'm sure there are players who will love the design though.

For sure, it isn't a sporty car, and I didn't really think about this when I chose the car. For my next kart, I'll take your remark into account. But I don't think the fat aspect of the car is so bad, I'll keep it like this.
Now that I've got a color and that I've fixed the animation, here's a last testing version before I send it on stkaddons.

[qubodup]

But I don't think the fat aspect of the car is so bad

Indeed, it actually feels very long/slim:

Looks good, need to download the kart. I think it would look more badass with (at least two times) wider fenders.

qubodub write: Indeed, it actually feels very long/slim

i'm agree with that opinion, but that kart shape is kalado want like that or kalado can considered to increase the width ?
furthermore i want ask kalado about alternative icon for amanda recently i create, will be you used this ? here the screenshot :

I appreciate your help, it's a really good icon, a way better one then mine, I've never been very good at drawing. Could you send me the icon file so that I can include it in the addon? Thanks a lot for your help.

I attached to this message a new version of the kart with a wider front, tell it to me if you think it needs to be even wider.

[betharatux1]

by the way, i try considered little thing (about ear), which one do like from them ? here the picture :
