:v

Fully working suspension, and easily controllable with the numpad.
Hydraulic canopy, winch ramp at the back, with a second segment on a slider with another winch, which unspools at the same rate as the first, allowing the whole thing to extend and lower in unison. All hydraulics are activated with one button, and carefully timed so that the hydraulic that opens the front moves faster, getting the front glass up before its anchor is lifted up on the foremost wing.

EDIT: The back now has four extra seats, for your peeps to chill in.

I should have got PHX triangles MUCH sooner O_o
also, noclip the 2 pieces of the back plate together so they can overlap inside each other instead of how you've got it now. how fast is it btw? that'd be a cool thing to upload to garrysmod.org tbh.

anyways, I'll post all my crap into this thread later, going back ingame :D

February 8th, 2008, 12:52 AM
how fast is it btw?Um, I set the torque on the wheels to 50,000, so it's fast. The wheels actually move too fast for my taste, actually. They wobble off the ground a bit, and if it goes too fast, like, 200mph, the parts that don't have nocollide for reasons you would understand if you built it start colliding with each other :v

Also, I haven't gone to bed yet. Why the hell?

HAY GUYZ GMOD ADDICT INCOMING

anyways, these are always the list of addons I recommend to anyone just getting gmod:
Pheonix Model pack (otherwise known as PHX) (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=30329), Wire (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=26675), Hover board (:awesome:) (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29768), smartsnap (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29276), nocolide multi (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=27180), stargate. (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=29340)

PHX is an extremely usefull modelpack if your building. it has all sorts of usefull props. Wire gives gmod a fuck load of new features and lets you do heaps. stargate is just fun (and several servers support it so why not get it), the hoverboard is awesome too (the servers I play on all support it, and it's fun to just play with in SP) and the rest are usefull building tools.

if you wanted to play spacebuild, I'd recomend you get this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=14058), this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=9191), and possibly this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=24916).

oh, and this is probably the best turorials site on the net. (http://www.trickystutorials.com/) if you want to find something cool to make, or find out how somebody did something (odds are they stole their invention from a tut here), then check this place out.

if you wanted to play spacebuild, I'd recomend you get this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=14058), this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=9191), and possibly this (http://garrysmod.org/downloads/?a=view&id=24916).

I added you on steam and xfail so if you need help, you know where to ask ;)

if your ever planning on playing online, or want to do some neat stuff, then you really need to atleast get wire and PHX.

Don't forget the Stacker and weight tool. You can make awesome things with the stacker!

Long post is looooong.

Ok, starting off, we have my idiotic hiding spot in prop hunt. AND NO HUNTARDS FOUND ME :S
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/cs_office0000.jpg

Then it's a game of guess the silhouette! (answer at the end of the post)
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_construct0003.jpg

And now we have the main attraction, WIP's of my new Enterprise class capitol ship. I'm hoping to use this as a way to show off my limited skills to the building faction at the trickys tutorials space build server, and hopefully join it and learn to fail less.
These are just pics of the bottom level (hanger bay). antlion guard for size reference.
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20010.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20011.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20012.jpg

And there is labelled wire buttons to open and close the doors!
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20014.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20013.jpg
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20015.jpg
All up, 8 props not counting the wire buttons and indicators. The props I'm using are from the space build model pack, and are very light, so weight won't be an issue. This is just the bottom level. I'll probably have about 4 levels when I'm done (the top level will be my personal flight deck and will be able to detach from the main ship if the shit hits the fan).

Oh, and I was bored and made a ball out of 3 portal props :D

finished the mail hull of my enterprise class transport ship :D

first, a few high reference shots of the main hanger, then we get onto the pain ship :D

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/gm_ps_hugeflatconstruct_v20023.jpg

now the main ship (mr strider has kindly agreed to stand around for height reference) :awesome

and now some pics in my favourate spacebuild map, gooniverse, for hight references against the planets (and some screenies to show off :3).

On earth:

veiw from the left viewing room:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/sb_gooniverse0033.jpg

and my portal fighter fits very comfortably in the hanger:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/sb_gooniverse0034.jpg

and scale reference between the 2 ships:
http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l183/n00b1n8R/sb_gooniverse0035.jpg

on the to do list (not in any order)
weld and no-collide everything to everything (gota find smart constraint..)
get the gravlift system working
get life support working
set up all the control rooms
get escape shuttle (the top level) detaching and autoflying.
set up teleporters to major locations (must make sure the co-ordinates don't get me teleporting into anything important such as the ground)
get some kind of defence system (probably some kind of automated turrets)
get it flying

so yeah, this should keep me busy for the next week atleast :D

How'd you get it to fly? Do you have to rebuild it every time you make a new map, or did you save it somehow? And does it work using WSAD, or the numpad?

1. By either using thrusters or something from life support.
2. He saved it by using a tool called Advanced Duplicator. Very useful.
3. That can be set by the thrusters as well.

I'm going to post my manned rocket (with parachute (and by that I mean balloon) action!) in a sec.

For now, though, a minigun for you:

http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/gmodminigun.jpg (http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee6/TheExAm/gmodminigun.jpg)

Yes, the barrels spin. Fast. The wheel that drives it is linked to the fire key for an invisible turret welded to the base, not the barrels, so that it doesn't rotate with them, but appears to be firing from the barrels instead. There's also a large muzzle flash emitter in the same location, as well as one for sparks. All of this stuff has a weight value of 1, except for the base and drive wheel, and has its gravity turned off. The gun below it is a cannon, with another invisible turret and some emitters, but it's less exciting than the minigun :v

For some reason, Advanced Duplicator likes to change the values on the turrets around and flip my emitters the other way. Why? I have no idea.

Oh, Emmzee, you've got some competition in hunter slaying:

UukFomaKaiU

Here's some video of the guns alone:

m0xutF1dEwg

Here's my rocket. It has a seat, with some dynamite attached. This detonates the rocket, leaving only the seat and whoever is sitting in it. A balloon is attached to the seat to help it float slowly down, and is on a long string to prevent it from being 'sploded by the rocket blowing up. There's also a camera attached, so you can look back and determine the right height to detonate the rocket. You can also just keep the thrusters going and have the rocket blow up on impact. You'll live :v

f506c0BU3D0

The balloon konked me on the head at the end, taking off 10 HP :awesome:

I originally got the idea from wanting a simple device to quickly get me across the map if I died and had work in another spot. The original idea was to have the rocket blow up on impact, which you can still do.

Oh, and it's tagged as the "Strangelove-O-Matic 3000" :downs:

as in saved through advanced duplicator? there's a folder manager button on the menu, or you can go into the actual dupe files with explorer. (can't remember the directory, I'll check once I've done my homework).

or if it's saved games, delete them from your saved games folder at garrysmod/garrysmod.

E: adv dupes are saved at garrysmod/garrysmod/data/adv_duplicator as .txt's

I gave it some wheels, non-flippability, a couple balloons (for awesomeness), thrusters (For turning and making it fly sorta), and a seat with a camera angle that DOESN'T GIVE YOU ANY HELP SEEING WHATSOEVER! YAY!

Can't remember, but the Lambda Shuttle took like 5 hours to make at which point the server could have crashed at any moment. When it was finally time to fly it, the Shuttle imploded and spazzed and was unrecoverable. The Snowspeeder worked very well however. It's too bad the Shuttle failed it's test flight because I had working wings and a hatch in the back for people to come along with me.

Double Post, etc. I know, this is my GMod contraptions.

First off, a car design that I did a while ago. It's huge, but I think it looks nice for a 10 minute job. It's not finished:
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/3835/gmmobenixv010001fj4.jpg

Next is an airboat transport truck I made earlier. It took me about 10-15 minutes to make, and I'm not sure if I want to add anything to it. It barely pulls the trailer up a 20deg plane:
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/356/gmmobenixv010006bu3.jpg
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/9292/gmmobenixv010008wq8.jpg

This is how I designed the link. It's 2 PhX-Tri pieces Ballsocketed together. The rear piece is welded to most of the front of the trailer, while the front piece is welded only to the airboat(since it's the only thing to weld to on the front:
http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/4280/gmmobenixv010013jn3.jpg


Next is a hover-board that a friend showed me. It uses Wire generally, 6 thrusters(2-front, 2-rear, 1-each side), a wire Graphics Tablet(under Wire I/O) and an expression chip. Aside from that, it uses a board to put everything on, an Airboat seat and 4 hoverballs:

* The arrows were roped together.


And here's something I was just messing around with on a server and had a lot of fun with. It's a jeep, but a transport truck style. Plus, it has a follower-RT camera that I designed for a pretty 3rd person view:
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/9195/gmmobenixv010033oz0.jpg
http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/4294/gmmobenixv010036ot0.jpg

The Follower-Cam is designed to revolve around the vehicle, for a nice third-person view. It's simple, and special. I rigid roped the front corners of the base to one point on the jeep, and the front of the camera to the same point, then made the base weigh 200, and gave it the ice phys property(super ice makes it spin too much).
It can watch you go over jumps from the side and it looks amazing!

Phx, a great addon for GMod. There's a lot of geometric shapes in it as well as wheels, explosives, etc.
There's also a new addon that works just as well as PhX called the Tiled Props Pack. You might want to check them both out.


Also how do you guys make cannons that shoot stuff D:

All I ever do is make huge bases then set up zombie spawn platforms everywhere or make retarded poses D:

Basically, all you need is a barrel, a base and a way to force the prop out.
I use a Wire forcer to push the prop, and a wire explosive with no dmg for the sound/effects.

Its suppose to be a tank but due to the fact i can't make tracks its more like a heavily armed APC thing. Not close to being done, the only thing that i have considered done is the turret. Rotates on thrusters for now. I am planning to make it turn on gears. The suspension is semi done its still to hard but because i haven't added armor i want to leave it as is.

And yes, i did try and make tracks and they failed miserably. I must have tried at least 15 times, changing physical properties, using ball and sockets, and rope. I can make them stay on, the problem is that they don't help the tank in anyway. In fact it slows it down a great amount and kill my FPS.
Meh.

EDIT:
Pictures aren't big i guess its only when you click them >.>'

Lots of pictures, be ready.
Ready?

Setting up :

Spawn these props to begin with:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-05-32-15.png

Next set them up on a wall like so:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-30-17.png

Get your weld easy tool:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-04-57.png

Now click right in the middle of the the prop:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-06-39-67.png

Then bring it over to the regtangle thing and click about there and click twice, click once and it will allow you to turn the prop on a axis. Its why you throw them up aganist the wall so they are already straight. For the most part. Fiddle around with it you will get the idea.
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-07-03-62.png

Repete the the other side and you should have it looking like this. Both sqaure peices on opisite sides:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-07-30-15.png

Stacking, the hard part.

Get your stacker tool out and change the values to these:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-09-30-04.png

Now go on the on one of the sides, till you see the prop look like this. (Should be the right side if you are looking straight at it)
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-09-35-51.png

Click once and the prop will be frozen, not welded so don't unfreeze anything.

Now change the stacker properties to this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-11-45-45.png

And go on to the other side:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-11-47-26.png
Pull out your remover tool and remove the 2 square props you welded on earlier:

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-08-35.png
It should look like this when you are done:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-22-98.pngDont unfreeze!


The wtf-where-is-that-rope-going part

Go to the rope tool and copy the setting. MAKE SURE RIDGID IS SELECTED.
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-12-43-87.png

Now click the outside corner and go to the otherside of the square phx prop and click at the coner for the back end. Click in this area for the corner towards the front:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/lol2.png

When you do this to both the front and rear it will look like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-14-47-14.png

Now you have to make a X going from the back corner to where i circled the red. Like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-15-07-48.png

Do the same thing to the top:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-16-02-76.png

And then to the other side and you should have something that looks like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-18-11-95.png

Just keep in mind you want the rope to have a |X|shape. The | | two ropes should go from one side the next, the X should go from one corner of the square phx prop to the rectangular corner at a angle so it makes a X shape when you do both sides.
Yeah...what did i just say? Make it look like this |X| Top and bottom. Both sides.



Placing your elastic shocks

Click your elastic tool and copy the settings:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-18-56-64.png

Click where that red dot is and go from that side to the other:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-22-39.png

It will come out like this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-28-81.png

All it does is make sure they don't bend outwards only up and down, i think. Don't take my word on that. I have always done it, maybe try to do without it see what happens. >.> Continuing on....

Now edit the elastic settings to this:
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-19-50-32.png

And then go from the corner of the square prop to the top of the rectangle phx prop. So they make this shape | | no X
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-20-24-89.png

http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff18/Flyingstone/hl22008-04-0913-20-43-82.png

And do the same thing to the other side.


That took longer than what i wanted it to. Anyway that's a basic, not tuned suspension. Fool around with the settings on the elastics. That's independent suspension, i know there are other ways to make a suspension i just enjoy using this one the most.

If you are still having trouble or just don't understand whats going on drop me a message on steam.

And ill teach you in a server, and ill use a microphone so i don't have to type constantly.

Building a new ship.
The design is blatantly stolen from a ship I saw on garrysmod.org with a few minor personalisation's (to reduce props and my own aesthetics). This baby is just to get to grips with the new SBMP parts as well as try out some new building techniques I've heard good reports on. I'll post my results (hopefully with a video) when I'm done.

It's actually about the same size as my Enterprise class Mega-Freighter I made back in January (haven't really done much with it since then either :X), Though not nearly as bulky and IMO much better (I'll go back and re-do the Enterprise some other time and make use of the awesome new SBMP pieces that weren't around back then)

What do you use to make them fly?

n00b1n8R
April 19th, 2008, 05:18 PM
Usually, I would weld everything to everything, throw on copious amounts of hoverballs (but not more than 10 because of most server's restrictions), a few max power'd thrusters and that would do me. The issue with that is sometimes it fucks around (spazz's out even when their all no-colided) and is really slow.

On this one, I'll get one prop that will be my master block (probably a cube), set it's weight to a fuck load, weld everything to that block only and as I understand it, that will make the whole ship more stable (welds are weird in garrysmod). Then I apply all my thrusters and hoverballs to it (and I increase the weight of the thrusters, because I understand that actually makes them exert more force), make gravity not effect it (so it's not too heavy for my hoverballs to hold) and that should work. Fingers crossed. :X

In case you didn't guess, I'm making an aircraft carrier. :v:
That also means I'll have to make some aircraft for it (hoverball free, naturally). That should be fun (though I probably wont start till the holidays).

The ships designed for Gcombat so all the props are pretty heavy (each piece of the deck is 2000 kg). I'll make some AA and ship to ship guns to put on it (it's totally vulnerable to subs though :X).

I found a way to make Garry's mod 10 addons work in Garry's mod 7,(Figures, once I have the money my parents won't let me buy Gmod 10.) it's actualy pretty simple if you aren't retarded.(I don't want to make a huge post that won't help anyone, so I won't post how to do so unless somone wants to know.)
