Brand New Carbuilder

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Advanced Labs (which is kind of like Google Labs, those bastards stole our name!) has released the new and improved (and still in beta) Darkwind carbuilder. The new URL is http://klickelaat.com/darkwind/carbuilder/ Whats new: * Fixed Sonic Bulk. * Added Flail, Osprey, Pike, Turin pictures/info. * Fixed Ambulance/Firetruck/Squadcar/57 maximum armor. * A slight style change. * Added the ability to save chsasis designs * Added the abilty to make images out of saved chassis designs. (Useful for sharing designs) * New webhost (so it's no longer hosted on my home DSL line with a dismal 25kbs upload, it's still the cheapest decent-looking hosting I could find though ) Here's a demo of the image feature: (Suggestions welcome on how to improve the layout/looks of this) Currently it only shows the 20 most recent designs in the right hand bar, but if people like the idea of saving/sharing designs I'll add better indexing features. Other stuff I'm planning is to add an option to generate code to post designs on the wiki and plaintext (suggestions welcome on a standard format to use for this). ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 20, 2008, 5:49 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 whoops, I discovered overwrote some of the chassis data I updated so it didn't have the armor data properly (along with some other updated chassis), it's all fixed now. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 20, 2008, 5:55 pm

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 Not sure how accurate you want it to be, but your CR calcs don't seem to be right. It's very cool though, and I look forward to seeing the wiki-postable output. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 20, 2008, 6:01 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 Ah, it doesn't actually do CR calcs, I forgot to remove that bit of static HTML. I might add it later, though it's a bit of work gathering/adding all the new data (I'd like to add somewhat-accurate prices on things too) ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 20, 2008, 6:07 pm

If I'd just go for an rough ballpark estimate of the base NPC sell prices (before piracy levels and availibility) then that wouldn't change very much I guess. Figuring that stuff out is a challenge on its own though which is why I haven't done it yet. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 20, 2008, 6:17 pm

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 I updated the image layout so it should look a lot more presentable now. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 20, 2008, 11:25 pm Last edited Nov 20, 2008, 11:25 pm by Alocalypse

Victor New Cal Rangers Racer Renegade Group: Members Posts: 151 Joined: Jan 10, 2008 Looks great, except for the armor/weapons overlap. Also, it showed 8 tires when I built it... which explains some loot screens, but it's probably not right. Now, on to the begging... please, pretty please, with dose of Y-49s on top, add a decal/avatar option? This is almost a perfect Darkwind sig maker. Oh. And, of course, it needs a link to www.dark-wind.com, for use in other gaming forums. VERY nice work, Alo. ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 21, 2008, 5:29 am

*Lugal* Luna Sea Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 2,246 Joined: Jan 27, 2008 Also, could you make the linkable image display the engine? ......................... vet marshal wv Posted Nov 21, 2008, 6:20 am

This is almost a perfect Darkwind sig maker. Oh. You mean like having a custom picture instead of the chassis image? That's not terribly hard to do and I was considering having multiple versions of chassis pics availible anyway (a lot of the chassis pics I have are out of date right now.) So I might do that later. I moved the armor display slightly and added the engine display in the image (something I overlooked) it also shows a link to www.dark-wind.com at the bottom right now. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 21, 2008, 9:12 am

If it would help, feel free to request data from me - as long as it's not something I consider "hidden" then I'm happy to supply it. ......................... marshal vet deathrce1 paintladder combat1 wv ped1 cont slay2013 Posted Nov 21, 2008, 9:17 am

Marrkos 88 MPH Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,711 Joined: Mar 28, 2006 The signature image created by Alo's carbuilder is very cool, so I am adding that capability to the other vehicle designer. Wasn't sure if I should make it really different, or really the same, so I went with as close as I could come to his layout. edit: now it's really close, of course, as he has provided the image background. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 21, 2008, 5:06 pm Last edited Nov 21, 2008, 8:20 pm by Marrkos

Alocalypse Advanced Race Labs Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 2,236 Joined: May 6, 2007 If you want you can use my background template from http://klickelaat.com/darkwind/carbuilder/imgheader.png I also have a photoshop version of it if you want. I'm considering trying out a more rugged and rusty design for it instead that fits with the whole DW theme better. ......................... vet deathrce1 raceL1 race1 combat1 northernsummer gateautumn elmsautumn deathrceL1 semiprocombat wv cont Posted Nov 21, 2008, 6:17 pm

I meant like a forum avatar or decal image, such as the 88 MPH Marrkos has on his mockup. Also, the Cargo icon isn't terribly intuitive, unless you already know what it is. Perhaps a little suitcase silhouette? ......................... vet wv Posted Nov 23, 2008, 9:43 am

Just to be clear, the image I posted isn't a mockup, it's the actual image output from the downloadable designer application. ......................... vet wv community Posted Nov 23, 2008, 4:49 pm
