[TDSD] Technical Downhill and Street Drifting

Random blog post, I just drank a "Monster Energy Drink" for the first time, and I don't see whats great about it. It tastes like a really strong sour green apple, with an aftertaste of alcohol (probably why everyone likes it). After 3/4 of a can I would definitly be sick of it for good.

Yello, today I shall announce to everyone that I am indeed making a large touge map mod. Now that I have used the Coleditor and MED, I have figured out exactly how to get a new chunk of land in the game properly, so now I just need the land. Yes, it's a pretty lame Japanese type name for the mountain that I thought of in 2.45 seconds, which will most likely change since the mountain is turning more North American that anything else. Anyways, my goal is to make a high detail, muilti-purpose mountain racing map, good for beginners, the average, and pro's. In order to do this, some things will be done:
-Scenery will be wonderfull to make players want to go back, even just to cruise in a Manana.
-No guardrails, this is for the pro's who have always wanted this
-High Speed corners, again for the pro's, the main idea is to have a fast car and make time attacks without falling off the edge.
-Normal size / a bit smaller roads than street roads, nothing a beginner can't handle, also since most beginers have poor, super slippery handlings, they will be able to take the big, high speed corners at low speeds and not crash
-Different routes, this includes a dirt road that will go as high as the normal road goes, made for rallying and offroad fun. Maybe in a second version there will be a second main route.
-Realism, This mountain wont have any weird corners or pokemon, just a simple Countryside touge.

Ok, so that's the intro, pics of current dev. stages will come sooner or later.
Help is definitly welcome to all who can make 3d models, this is meant to be a map for all so it should be made by all.

So far I have created a long straitaway with 1 big corner and 2 smaller ones after it. The straight is a valley until one side opens up and you see a big farm with a cropfield a river behind it, which leads to the dam you cross over on the third corner.

Not really, but I thought i'd share this funny little tale of what happened on 0.2X. I joined a drift server, started drifting, and I run into 2 elegies (Kassik and Revention), start drifting with them, start pwning them. Eventually it's my turn to lead the group and I immediatly start loosing them. Kassik leaves the server, and Revention continues. He leads for a while, with me right behind him, then we switch and I lead. In a few minutes he was long behind, so he just gave up, and that's when the name calling started. It's pretty pathetic that even after this many years, people still go into servers under different names, with s0beit ready and try to beat people, fail 90% of the time and resort to petty name calling that I just ignore by pressing F7. They even start confirming and joking about being undercover...

I hope a few of them read this, seeming as tho they like to stalk people so much...

Yup,sure it was, you might have noticed already that i wasn't around for ages, or you maybe didn't cause you probably don't care, but whatever.I'm not sure if i will ever go back to the SA-MP community, if i find one goddamn good reason to get back, i sure will.Lately ive been doing what i wanted ever since i joined the ''modding'' community.Modeling actual cars.Also a day ago i just joined SA-MP to see how is stuff going, i was about to spawn, when an admin changed the gravity level to zero.So obviusly i couldnt fall to the ground.After that, this happens:You have been banned for the following reason: (don't afk at the spawn place).That day i realised that most of the server admins are complete retards.Funny thing too, when i entered that server i got called a drifting noob, when the guy that called me like that, was an actual newbie in the community, most of them don't even know that there was an old 0.1b community that was TONS better than this new one on 0.2x.Things I just said were the main reasons why i probably won't be coming back for a long time.If anyone wants to have some drift session on the 0.1b for the old times, give a shout at the cb, make sure that no 0.2x retards would be involved in that meeting.Aside the SA-MP, my birthday is comeing,that will mark my third year in the gta community, hope ill get some presents, also some guys are planning to kick my ass for no reason o.O I will soon post some pics of my scratch made toyota mark 2 02' version, let me just finish the interior, this will probably be my last mod for san andreas, ill make mods for rfactor and lfs in the future and ofcourse, 3d models, you won't see anymore conversions from me, cause im just modeling from now you so you can't call me a thief lol.That wraps the stuff for me today folks, cheers!

Ok, so I've stopped being a lonely outcast a**hole of a drifter, and am becoming more and more like I used to be, getting more involved with a whole new crowd on 0.2X. Well, just after 2 days playing on a few servers, I've had people purposly follow me around, watch me drift, even record me! I stick to my code, I never brag, I never boast, I never act like top-shit, but naturally the reputation comes back. All in all I could care less about what others think of me, all I'm saying is that I think it's pretty cool how I'm gaining reputation back and making a lot of new friends, as well as drifting at what seems to be my best ever. I've made a server now, with a few custom drift area's and 1 more to come. (75.158.52.23:7777)

If anyone wants to drift with me again like old times, go ahead and join that server, or the [MMT] Server (124.176.171.207:8888). Expect more videos from me, Drift sure as hell isn't dead. I'm actually having a lot of fun, it reminds me a lot of the old drifting that was done back in late 2006, early 2007, except this time I'm the teacher, not BLOOD or Milkman.

Chow.

Hello there, it's been a while since I posted pictures of one of my cars, but here is one of the many projects I have going, that I actually completed! *shock*. I started creating this Silvia as just something to practice on, make parts for..ect. It started to look better and better so I decided to make it into the full car, and by then I wanted it in GTA. Every single part on this car is 100% scratch made by me, the main chassis (from the back of the doors up till the rear lights) was from a free 3d model, which included every exterior part from the car (bumpers, front end, hood), but I ended up having to delete everything except the rear half. Total work time is about 7 days, every texture is taken from real photo's and none were taken from other people's TXD's (because I hate stealing like every other GTA modeler). The engine modifications most noticable are as follows:
-Tomei Twin Turbo kit
-HKS Intake setup
-Porsche Cross-over exhaust
-ARC Intercooler

I plan to make several upgrades (bumpers, hoods, spoilers, ect) in the future, as I already have plans to make it look more appealing. As for now it is just a stock s13 except the front bumper, which was referenced off a real s13 bumper (do not know make at this time) and the engine.
