Since there are so many bikes on maps as decorative articles, I thought I'd make one that you can actually use. There are already mods like this out there on the less trustworthy mod sites, my plan is to make one for release on the modhub.
It's a vintage style bike, steel frame and chrome mudguards. I want to add tension belts to the luggage rack, and also want to add a small trailer that can be attached to the bike.
Work on this project is on hold till the end of june. The model is ready and textured, only ingaming is left to do.
Found half an hour time to do some modding today, result is I got the bike kind of working. Sounds will be changed of course, and all the details still need to be done.
Put some work into making the dirt map. Still a lot to do, but I started working on the places where dirt would build up in real life.
Also perfected some details, and got the lights working how I want them to. Physics are also getting better, the biggest problem right now is that you start swinging side to side after crashing into something or going over a big bump. Already reduced this a lot but I want to get it perfect. Apart from that, the XML is basicly ready. Only major thing to add are custom sounds.
How the bike going? I can’t wait till it is ready.
It is nearly ready. Physics are all done, texturing almost (just need to add dirt to the tyres, and I've already prepped it for an update I will do. That update will contain a special trailer to pull behind it. Not sure if that would be useful, but thought it might be fun. The only thing that is slowing down progress atm is an issue I have with making the brake cables look realistic when the front wheel turns (when you steer). This proved more tricky than I anticipated.
I don't anticipate it being released this month (certification with Giants also takes up some time), but I hope to have it out for you to download in september!
Here's maybe something to expand on for future development of your concept when it comes to cargo bikes. I'm sure that some will find in-game bikes useful.
