updates!

hi, its been a while, lel. ive been rather busy with work for past few months, + i finally got kinda burnt out i guess. also just like every summer, i rather worked on my real cars instead since weather is nice haha. but guess im back now :D

i actually made quite alot of new versions of my mods in the past week or so. as you all probably know, carx got updated to a new unity engine version. not too sure what the point was as i dont really see any benefits to it, but it sure broke ALOT of stuff, especially the mods. luckily the dudes at kino managed to fix majority of it, but pretty much anything that had textures with alphas got broken. i went and fixed everything that had broken alphas and in alot of cases while i was already there, i made a bunch of other changes and improvements :D. well get to that abit futher down this post.

next update would be that i finally switched from using onedrive to using google drive :D. when it comes to carx content, i decided to leave out old and actually obsolete versions of my mods to make it slightly less messy. that means that everything thats on my google drive haz either been updated to new unity or is working as intended still. i will be updating the links in the posts itself too, but i will make the obsolete versions no longer downloadable. sure that will probably make the older posts abit messy, but lets be real, these relase posts are kinda messy even without that so i guess its whatever at this point, lel. but from this post onwards it should be business as usual again haha

speaking of messy relases, theres another thing id like to mention. most of carx custom objects typically get relased on discord, wich fucking suck. mods all over the place in fuck know how many servers, hard to find because discord search function is hot garbage, all in all not a fun experience. we were all rather sick of it, wich led to a creation of CarX Modding Forums, CMF for short. a dedicated forum where you can find a big portion of carx relases on one place, that feels and look just like any gaming forum did back in the late 00s, so its a pretty nice throwback too if you were around those times haha, so come check us out :D. i am relasing my stuff over there first and then put it here on the blog once i have more of it at hand, so theres that too haha

when it comes to builds, i havent really made anything new since the civic. i still just mess with what i already have as per usual haha. the recent case of this being my kaido celica that i reworked quite a bit using new parts that i made recently :D. besides using different aero than before i also made a new livery, rather traditional scheme for those, wich is now silver/green instead of silver/magenta. it also got techno phantoms now. i dig how it ended up :D


and now its time for the new stuff that ive been talking about earlyer haha, so here we go:

v2 of my 180sx bundle that contains fixed chuki bumper, eastbear lips, abflug and rosebud headlights, bwave spoiler, granador mirrors and oneline taillights. v2 have been updated to the new unity so all the transparencies work as intended again, besides that i also changed the headlights color to halogen yellow and made them abit dimmer (low beam instead of high beam). i also added new front fender indicators, as the vanilla ones are light up at all times wich is weird, lel. no moving necessary.

kaido racer parts pack v2

v2 of my kaido racer parts bundle. its mostly the same as v1, but main reason for making v2 was once again a broken transparency on one part, so that fixed now. and while i was in there i also added a functional cedric 330 headlight (just one, you can copy it for the other side). theres not much use for it rn, but i have a few ideas for later where it will come handy, so i figured might aswell add it since im already here haha

42 parts in total

ae86 levin improvements v2

v2 of my ae86 levin improvements bundle, meshes itself didnt really changed at all, but it now works as intended on new unity and a big portion of it is KNPP now.

KNPP stuff includes:

- 5 bumpers (kouki and zenki with lip variants)
- new bonnet (one body line was missing and in case of coupe, the windshield sprayers were missing too)
- stock and paintable mirrors (stock ones are availible on coupe only, as hatch already haz them. they are uv mapped and are set correctly, so they should work with PS liveryes)
- new doors that come with paintable side trim (theres also a variant with paintable and fully uv mapped door handles if you wanna go wild, lel)
- oem sideskirts

KNCO stuff includes:

- nearly all zenki/kouki headlights and taillights variants (zenki hatch tails still missing sadly)
- all grilles in a bunch of variants
- headlight tapes and runfree eyeliners
- rear mudflaps, with logo and paintable

you will have to set the Y to 0.

if you were using the old versions, delete them, as this combines it all toghether and its no longer needed.

i decided to leave some of the stuff from older versions out, mainly stuff i never seen anyone use etc. if knpp lights become a thing im revisiting this anyways lel
