For anyone interested in the Ford Falcon XB MOD for Pacific Drive, the progress thus far.
I think I managed to fix the pathing entering or exiting from the right-sided driver door (without being given a concussion each time)
Converting the game's station wagon into a, more capable, Ford Falcon XB.
The game allows the player to upgrade any part of the car, some of which will be modeled following the fictional custom parts.
Been weighing 2 potential avenues with regards to the V8 engine upgrade in the falcon mod and what to do with various hoods available as upgrades.
OPTION A - Smoke and mirrors
No openings at all, on any of the 7 hood variants.
An imposter mesh mimics the opening in the hood, but the illusion is broken when the hood is opened.
Perfect if you don't have the V8 engine with blower yet and keep the entire selection of hood panels open to the player, regardless of the engine used.
OPTION B - Physical
A physical opening on 1 or 2 of the hood upgrades, leaving it to the player to decide on a hood panel that matches their current engine choice.
Drawback being that you are limited in you hood upgrade choices and some hoods will look silly when used without the V8.
What's everyone's preference?
Don't pay too much attention to the engine modeling. It's not finished.
Projected load-out:
- 2 doors, 2 rear windows (un-openable doors)
- Right-Hand driving
- 2 roof racks
- 2 side racks
- 2 seat racks
- Open back with direct access to storage and crafting
- A free can of Dinki-Di
