Car Datablock Edit Gui

by Anton Bursch · 05/25/2007 (9:23 pm) · 12 comments

Hey, I just made a gui for editing the wheel vehicle car and tire and tire spring datablocks while driving around. Would that be something worth posting as a resource? I know I sure hated messing with the wheeled vehicle datablocks manually going back and forth between the game and torsion. Not sure if other people would like this bit of work to use. It's easy to add to your racing game demo to tweak your car on the fly in game. I like it.

Congrats GG on the 50th game in the game store! That's awesome news! I've very excited for you guys!

An update on me... I'm working on some part time long term contracts. Having a good time. Not really much spare time to do my own thing nowdays, but, that's ok, cause I'm loving my contract work. The work I'm doing is with Torque Game Engine and TorqueX and Torque Game Engine Advanced. I'm all Torque, baby!

I saw the new Pirates movie last night. WOW. The 3d work done on Davey Jones just makes me freak out about the future of 3d. Amazing!! To think, in our lifetime, Davey Jones was created. That's an amazing thing. And in our lifetime games will be that amazing as well. That is so cool.

I'm waiting another 36 minutes to download this demo for the Tomb Raider Anniversay game. I wonder if it will be cool? I know it's not very 'indie' to redo a game just for the sake of sales, but I think everyone wishes they could go back and redo stuff they have done before. Artists are never really done with their art.

yeah i think this would be a good resource, even if for just the how-to's of making GUIs.

I really enjoy seeing this...I thought it was helpful to be able do modify vehicle script on the fly with the unreal engine. It would be great if torque could do it as well.

That is cool Anton, looks like an excellent tool that eases development.

I wouldn't worry to much about making the interface to user friendly - we are after all developers and not end-users.

I would be interested even in the On the fly Camera change GUI :)
