The GTA2 carmanager pisses me off. No, really. Of the thirteen new cars I find in there, only four are reviewable. The rest are either poor ingame conversions, so bad you could spit, or worst of all, just other people cars. I've seen Robert Tuovinens tank in there more than once and the "author" can't even be bothered to change the readme. Hell, if he at least did that, I'd be a bit more impressed. Now, the GTA1 page? Glorious. I can always scroll though the carmanager and find new delights to review, stuff that gets me frothing at the mouth in jealousy. Stuff I wish I could do. Inspiring stuff. You get the idea.

So, I want to remedy the situation with a compo. At best, I'll get a few nice GTA2 cars to review, at worst, nobody will care. It's a fair idea as far as I'm concerned though, so here we go with the rules:

- Must be GTA2 or Dope style. Yes, I know this will be a kicker to some people, but there's the rub. I know a lot of you are great point sourced shaders. I had to make it difficult somehow didn't I?

- Use your imaginations. Yep, I want you to make the cars from scratch. No real lifers. You can base the shapes on a real life car if you like, but generally, I want to see a diverse range. Not just generic sports cars, but mundanes, trucks, limos, vans, that kind of thing. Go wild, have fun.

- I know the palette system is a bastard to use. I've not had the pleasure of using Delfis Sty editor yet, but if it helps, fair enough. If not, I don't mind custom palettes in the slightest. Remaps are not compulsory.

- If you win, you get... Er. I dunno. Ah, that's right, you get joy in the knowledge that you're better than everyone else! Haha, what could be better than that?

Yup, thems the rules. Simple innit? So, get started!

That's freaking brilliant! Seriously. eek 

If I were to advise anything, it would be to make the detail around the grille a bit lighter, but you know what you're doing better than I do...

Anyone else?

I could maybe make a car. But I have certain demands. I can't get bother to install Gta2.
If someone could get a car from the game with deltas and a good palette file I would be happy  yes 

Btw, can you import palette files into Adobe Photoshop? rolleyes

A work in progress. It's inspired by diffirent types of Pontiac Firebirds.
It's the first Gta2 car I make in Photoshop. I just have to figure out how to get this cars palette to mach palette #189.
I don't want to do it by hand as people used to do. It takes too much time. I wish Gta2 used the same type of palette handling as Gta1 did. Much smarter then having to import/export palettes and make sure they hueshift right between the in-game palettes. uhoh

Doesn't delfi's import system have a way of using the gta1 type palettes in gta2?

Also, if anyone can tell me how to get rid of blurry lines when drawing in photoshop then I will have a go - I don't have psp7 anymore :-/ and it was the only one I really knew how to make the things in.

Yes, maybe you can do sometihng in delfi's crazy program, I am unsure about it, ask him :) Failing that, you can add a limited number of new pallettes with styed.

If you use your own pallete you cannot remap your car.

Smashing stuff Fox, I've  just reviewed it over at GTAzz. Thought you might like to know.

On a sort-of-slightly-related note, there hasn't been a Two award for god knows how long. Well past two years surely? Perhaps that could be the prize. The first Two Award for god knows how long?
