If u never played Destruction Derby 1 or 2 on the PSone then its basiclly a game where you use your car as a weapon to totally destory your enemy.

You can play it 2 ways. 1 racing style where your objective is to actually win the race, at the same time take out as many cars as you can. Also a pit style setting where u are in some sort of arena (they are all different styles) and you ram and bash anyone who gets in your way until you become champion.

I was thinking that maybe (if anyone hasn't thought of it already) make a mod inspired by this game. The only way I can really see it going with the hl2 engine is the physics system. It would work perfect on the game. If the modellers was able to create vehicle models from the body down. I mean like everything. From brake pads to metal frames. Building them in a 3d graphics (3dsmax/xsi.... what ever program u use) program exactly how they would be put together in real life. Then using the hl2 engine to deform and minipulate the hole car in a very realistic way.

I totally think having racing games on the hl2 engine is a bit stupid mainly because obviasly hl2 is a first person shooter engine and why not just make your life so much more easyer and just use the toca driver engine. But the strong backing of the hl2 engine is the physics. The mod will not have like totally realistic handling like cmr4 and gt. It will be pritty basic and not really a stong pulling point to the mod.

I also had another idea to impliment into the game. If you had a sort of large scale database. A bit like the planetside one. Where you login before you join a server and start playing. So all the winning you do you collect money. This money will be used to buy new parts for your car, you can also trade with other friends online. Rather than just saying, ow ye u now have medium susmension when u purchase it. I think it would be great for your model to actually change no matter what. So you can even change the size of your break pads and they would actually change. I mean this would intail a lot and I mean a lot of work. Getting everything correct and having a good model series of cars to have multiple models for. Like the bmw series. They could all use the same set of break pads and wheels.

It would basiclly be grand turismo mixed with destruction derby. Ow and also lets just throw it online to add more fun. Its just an idea I had dunno if i will even bother taking it anywhere. But you never know people might actually like it and want to do something. Btw I am a vehicle modeller. Hense my idea. Also a map for CO:IN. So its not like I have just come up with an idea and expecting everyone else to make it for me, I am not that stupid. I am stupid though :cheers:
 
so.....u actually think it is a good idea?

I mean, i know i can model cars. Well I am pritty average tbh. But I have been mapping for hl1 for like 2-3 years on and off.

Maybe see if more people think its a good idea. Lets say about 4 or summat. If so. Then might take it a bit further.

Every idea is a good one :)
And use smaller images.

Anyhow, have you checked around on the other car mods? There are alot going around... In one, I cant remember its name, you drive around on a course and can destroye other cars with various things, and you buy new engines/part for the money earned... Ironman something :)
 
hmmmm. Ye but they are already games like that. Well they are already games like what I am talking about. But in this mod u actual use your car as a weapon. You don;t get cheap laser guns and mines etc... It will actually be like american muscle cars smashing each other to peaces. Also because your car is made from loads of different types of eqipment even the steal frame u choose to prtect your engine will matter. There will not be loads of cars but all the cars will be made from the ground up. So every little detail of damage can be acounted for. From puntchered tired to the driver dieing from falling out of the car because the person playing the game fort it would be a good idea to spend 100 on an engine and not a seat belt.
 
lol, well. I am guessing people like the idea. As I said its only an idea. I mean if I could get a programmer then we could start work. Not really in any rush until the SDK comes out. Would be really hard to get good enough modellers though. Also the major blueprints for all cars. I might have to visit the model shop (toy models always have amazing blueprints) and scan some in as a start. Also pay somone to make me a site. If anyone wants to help me out in any way contact me at [email protected] (msn/email) but for now it looks like I got to travel to town for bnlueprints :D

The game its self is very complex so can see it taking more than or very close to 1 year to make. But tbh no rush. I arn't making the game to be sucessful so if thats all u want plz don't contact me. Its just an added bonus if its ever played.
 
:bounce: <--- Me when looking at your car models... allthough im not that green

Those games on the psx where SO great, I totally love this type of raceing, I would love to help you out on makeing some sweet race tracks on hl2 when it comes out (I love hl1 mapping) My dad was a racer for years, and I could find out tons of stuff about it from him if needed, soon as I know how to drive im going to do it myself (im 18, but short of funds to buy a car right now lol)

I so hope you make this mod.

(1st post on here forum :dozey: )

edit:

I cant get much info now, my dads out, but from what I dug up there could be modes like, for example..

Free for all raceing
Free for all DD (in a pit or an arena)
Team raceing, simple really, teams race
Team DD (Simple >_<)

Team Chain

I dont know if you know about this, Im not even sure they do it anymore, as its VERY danergus, my dad used to do all this in the 70-80's, its when you go in a race or a pit with teams of 2 cars... but the 2 cars are connected by a long (about cars width) thick metal chain

I dont need to go into how cool that is.. :cool:
 
owwww ye. They do that in grass tracking. England is kinda stupid on laws but I go to watch crass tracking. Thats basiclly a ring track full of bangers smashing each other up. Your not actually suposed to smash each other up because in england its against the law (i think) but no one gives a shit and they always take each other out. I have seen a mini with twin. I think it was v6's in the back. It was soooooo ****ing mad. The car was basiclly a shell with wheels and these huge engines coming from the back. It actually could do wheelys which was funny.

I need to crack on and find a programmer. I didn;t think people would like my idea that much thats why I was keeping it an idea at the start. But since people seem to like it. I am gunna crack on and get things done. Anyone who knows and a programmer they can forward me to can ya email me plz. From there we will have to get the hole concept down on paper maybe mix ideas etc...

Btw ph34r t3h cute add me to your msn ([email protected])
 
Haha, yea england does have pretty annoying laws, I once went too a DD and there was hotrods on before, they sucked, like little fairys who did not wanna get the side of there car dirty, its the real raceing + smaching allowed that rocks, also I dislike F1.. armor plateing on the cars is for girls :P

btw, msn is down for me right now, messager anyhow, I will add you when it comes back up
