2016 Fruinia to Archana - Krongrad or Bust! (ON HOLD)

uh… hi?

yes, i know there hasn’t been much activity here for a while. I haven’t been very active for a while.

So what’s happening?

Well, I’ve been stuck in a creative dam of sorts for the past couple of weeks, meaning that i have essentially left both automation and the forums - i don’t want anything i make or write to be just half-arsed.

In addition, I have exams. Oh joy. And a very messy friendship issue which is… not fun. But, rest assured that FtA will see a conclusion. Eventually.

also i kinda just can’t be bothered to do writeups or anything at the moment hhhhhh

so uh… yeah. i’ll probably try and get something out within the next week but don’t be surprised if there isn’t.

Don’t worry lol. This challenge is not a big deal, so you could do whatever you can. No need to be that stressed. Take your time.

ON HOLD IN ORDER TO PERSUE OTHER PROJECTS


UPDATE TO COME ON MAY 13th AT LATEST

So, what’s happening with this?

Well, for one, all the cars are now most likely outdated- meaning that importing them will likely break them, and require (resubs? if not i could remake them)

Two, my browser reset itself and I have no clue what website I used to set up the RNG

Three- the thread’s ancient; 5 months old at this point. Is there even any point in continuing it?

So there are a couple of options.

  1. Continue in 4.2 with some sort of explanation for the changed appearances.
  2. Start over, with a blank slate
  3. Officially close the project.

Please LMK what you feel would be best.

Given that the main changes will be with engineering rather than design, starting over would be the best bet (if you have time of course)

The cars were made in 4.1, which should be accessable in Steam (Right-click game in Steam > properties > betas > none); and given that it was a different game engine version than 4.2, it should remain accessible as a legacy version once 4.2 merges with the stable.

So as a potential 4th option, it is possible to redownload and continue running the version that the cars were first created in, if that could work for you.

(otherwise, I’d vote for option 1)

I cannot run 4.1 due to the fact that i have little to no storage space.

Taking that into consideration, restarting this from scratch in 4.2 would be the best option.

Well, my suggestion is bury this thread and learn from your mistakes. If you want to run something similar, start a completely new, fresh challenge but before you do that, do some serious thinking about if you are able to handle it, and how, this is not meant to be salty, but you promised that this would not fail like your earlier challenge had, yet it still did. Doing this time after time means that finally you will have a hard time to convince people to actually take part in your challenges. Take this advice from someone that already has done the exact same mistake as you did. I know that the work can be huge and I guess you was as overwhelmed as I was…and it won’t be easier next time if it was too hard once, unfortunately.

You can also request to have it deleted, as what I did with a few of my old ones.
