Will be at a gunshow over the weekend, with any luck I'll find myself a nice 91/30.
Also, I've heard mixed accounts on the TF2 ragdolls... some say they work fine, some say they can't fingerpose them at all. I've seen pictures with fingerposed TF2 ragdolls in the thread people were using to bitch about it, so I'm really not sure. I haven't actually made any TF2 poses so I wouldn't have a clue.
Yeah, I'm too lazy to go nocolliding. It was just a quicky.Quote:

Smartwelding is fun. But I suck at placing props for contraptions.

My first big contraption. Not finished, better pics coming up, but it's something imo. It's got sexy wire turrets though :)
But I've got random gaps in, and they're not all aligned properly. Would the stacker tool help for that?
I can fingerpose them... but if I try to do anything with faceposing, hilarity ensues.Quote:

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:
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:
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:
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:
This is just some random stuff I felt like adding.
That's it. The maps I used are:
gm_mobenix_v01
gm_mobenix_v2
gm_megastruct_final
gm_towerofterror*
*TowerOfTerror is a remake of the Tower of Terror ride at the Walt Disney World Resort. It's originally for GMod9, but works perfectly with GMod 10.
I really like that thoverboard thingo. :O
If you wanna make one, save this under garrysmod\data\expressiongate as graphicstabletturning.txtCode:N@Graphics Tablet Turning
I@GraphicX GraphicY OnScrn
O@TurnR TurnL Up Down
GraphicX > 0.3 & OnScrn == 1 -> TurnR = 1;
GraphicX < -0.3 & OnScrn == 1 -> TurnL = 1;
GraphicX > -0.3 & GraphicX < 0.3 & OnScrn == 1 -> TurnR = 0, TurnL = 0;
GraphicX > -0.3 -> TurnL = 0;
GraphicX < 0.3 -> TurnR = 0;
OnScrn == 0 -> TurnR = 0, TurnL = 0;
GraphicY > 0.4 & OnScrn == 1 -> Up = 1;
GraphicY < -0.2 & OnScrn == 1 -> Down = 1;
GraphicY > -0.2 & GraphicY < 0.4 & OnScrn == 1 -> Up = 0, Down = 0;
GraphicY > -0.2 -> Down = 0;
GraphicY < 0.4 -> Up = 0;
OnScrn == 0 -> Up = 0, Down = 0;
The wiring is really simple.
beware the fail cannon:

PHX props. Also, PHX bombs with thrusters attached. Also, no.Quote:

Phx, a great addon for GMod. There's a lot of geometric shapes in it as well as wheels, explosives, etc.Quote:

Basically, all you need is a barrel, a base and a way to force the prop out.Quote:

Learn to use the prop spawner. :iia:Quote:

Plus, it'd turn it into a mingelwerfer.
There is a cannon model that comes with PHX fyi.
ALSO, I DIDNT GET MY AIRBOAT SEAT WITH WIRE/PHX DAMNIT
Hey guys, I was thinking of making a series of videos to teach people the "basics" in garrysmod.
y/n
n, been done. However maybe if you where to do it just for us, go for it.Quote:

As you said, most of that stuff is coverd really well at trickystutorials.com.
Define cool contraptions. Also, wire tutorials are always welcome.
Portal fighters.
We should really play while I'm off Uni for the midsemester break so I can adv dupe your Portal fighter :3
No.
Large pics below
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 >.>'
How'd you make the suspension?
Well I used a tutorial off of stage6 which is now dead.
Give me a hour and ill have a picture tut using his suspention.
brb
Lots of pictures, be ready.
Ready?
Setting up :
Stacking, the hard part.
The wtf-where-is-that-rope-going part
Placing your elastic shocks
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.
Flyingstone
And ill teach you in a server, and ill use a microphone so i don't have to type constantly.
EDIT CREDITS:
.
Um, you know how you line them up on the wall to line them up? Why not just use shift+e to do the adjustments by 45 degrees. I need to make some more cool things. Or maybe I'll play prop hunt.
Because my shift key was broke and because i like to do things the hard way.
:3
lol, maybe i'll take you up on that. If I ever stop being mad at gmod for failing at addons.
what? you can do that? >_>Quote:

Don't feel embarased, it was like a month before I learnt that myself. :v:Quote:

Also, add that you can scroll with the W and S if you hold the Shift key. It's a more secure scroll. Honestly I'm too lazy to go to the other thread because my internet keeps bugging up 'cos of torrents downloading.
Aside from scrolling, you can rotate the prop with A and D(I believe, you can do something with them).
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)
/show off
What do you use to make them fly?
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

I am now in love with advanced pod controllers :3
It has 5 FFAR pods on top, jump jets, and boosters (which also help to control jumps) and all of it is controlled with the mouse and keyboard :awesome:
And I put a laser on there that does 0 damage as a targeting system
I still have no clue how to use Wire for anything else :(
I needa get Gmod.
an old concept ship of mine:
Another ship that worked pretty well but point blank refused to leave atmospheres under it's own power >:S
A promising helicopter drone that never wanted to work (all the parts worked separately but as a whole they just died :( ) :
The SS brick: my first proper decent sized boat (and the first contraption I've seen through in a loooong time) :
The first (and by far the simplest) space ship I've finished in a loong, looooong time (AND IT'S MY FIRST WORKING HOVERBALL FREE SHIP :aaaaa: ) :
and a few random pics:
I'm liking that ship in pictures 6 - 8 n00b1n8r. I always have problem making boats, I can never make them properly sit partially under the water.
I was using the buoyancy tool, though you can achieve the same effect with physical properties (wood or paper work well) and altering the weight (takes a lot more effort though).
Working on a new toy, I'll be posting regular updates (hopefully this will kick some life into the section too).
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).
Crit? (yes the bridge is pretty ugly so I'm open to suggestions on that).
Started work on some aircraft to go along with the aircraft carrier (seems kinda pointless otherwise). Got my first ever helicopter working :awesome:
SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE MY BEDIC
I like the hele, but try using less phx props make it a challenge you lazy bas.
I intend to. That helicopter was just a concept, the next one will be much better.
Those helicopters need moaarrr fins!
But fins are a royal pain in the ass, and hardly any servers support it D:
Maybe in Australia, but here in Canada and America, almost every server has them. :\
Also, wheels need like 100,000 torque to spin helicopter blades well.
But I'm not using wheels :confused2:
k :3
Since the forums were down all weekend, I actually put some effort into making a presentible contraption and seeing it through to completion. :aaaaa:

knew I forgot something. :(
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.)
Why are you using Gmod7???Quote:
