Offroad 3D Car Scene

[ExMember001]

Hello 
Here's my first attempt to 3D programing with Aurora...
This scene is not a game, that's why i'm still calling it a scene.
You have a car and you can move across the map with it...

in the zip you get the code and the compiled exe
to compile:
1- Open the project file (Offroad.awp) with Aurora v1.0 RC1 or higher
2- Create an import library for bass.dll
3- Compile

New Improved version availlable july 13th 2007

Great work Krypt!
It's great as a first contact with 3D in Aurora!

Let's come to the negative points now 
It may be due to the mesh and other resources loaded ,but on my PC the program uses much memory. (about 40 Mo) 

Anyway,, thank you for this example.

thanx pistol.
yes, there is a lots of negative things
well,ive just trow out the best meshes ive found in... fps is also low when crossing meshes ...
still lots of tweaks to do 

[pistol350]

Yeah!
Anyway, there are also many positive points in your code and guys like me who are not very familiar with 3D may find many things to learn from it!
I am about to start to tweak your code a bit to understand it better.But the first thing that i will try to improve is the trees loading (as you stated the problem in your previous topic)
since i am sure that there is a way to use several meshes from the same file other than loading the same file several times.

Cheers!

go for it man!
if you improve it post the code please

[ExMember001]

just update the file, here's the changes made:
-Fixed car sound when movements
-Fixed Speed indicator
-kinda fixed the collisions when going backward
-Tryed to fix the fps
-Try to get the car movement more realistic...
-Added S key for cutting off engine and apply handbrake
-Added tires sound (brake and turn)
-Added sound volume controls in code
-Changed trees with other one to reduce 3ds files size

see first post for download link.

Nice update!
As i see, you fixed the redundant tree loading problem by adding several different trees.
It is a good thing.
I am trying to set the camera to a different view, why not First person view  and even better, implementing various optional views.

thanx, the camera need to follow the back of the car first
i was thinking also about a way to move the camera around the car with the mouse.
