Car mods for Distance

[Alex Chosen]

Since Distance now has a workshop i was thinking. do you think they should allow modded cars for this awesome sequel? say for you wanna play as your favorite car in reallity or from another game say for F-Zero, Mario Kart, Sonic all stars racing, and/or Hotwheels cars. that would fit for the tracks that are with anti-gravity, loops and corkscrews, and speed related part of the levels.


PS i am not a model maker. this is only a suggestion discussion for refract

They said that they are going to have mod support for Distance but since it is in alpha that feature is yet to come.

It'd be cool if they packed in a micro-version of Rush inside Distance once they released it. They could include the track parts, cars, and obstacles all as DLC.
I'd buy it.

They don't own the rights to any of the content from NR, Digipen does. They can't use anything from NR without direct permission from Digipen (and maybe even a fee for the rights).

As for mods, yeah, I think mods would be great BUT I don't think any modded items should be allowed to have access to any leaderboards (i.e. if you put your own car in, it shouldn't be allowed to be used for online leaderboards on whichever track you're using it on, for obvious reasons)

And per the idea of various vehicles, it has already been discussed on the forums as to how new vehicles should handle and how the online leaderboards could work with various vehicles: http://survivethedistance.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=701 (basically have a filter on the leaderboards where you could toggle which vehicles you want to appear)

Do I smell acceleracers cars here? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

If it's just a re-skin of the Refractor, I don't see any problem with this. I agree that it would be cool

I'm going to have the biggest erection ever if someone makes Acceleracers car mods.

I know this is an old thread, but since it was bumped...Mario Kart cars in Distance would be very stupid looking. I think the OP pretty much defeated his own argument with that suggestion.

[AegisWolf]

hmm. custom content... acceleracer cars and tracks...
i will have patience if they plan add an update to have that ability.

[ApeOfMazor]

New cars would be cool so long as they fit in the game world. No Mario Kart or Sonic crap. At least I wouldn't sub to any of that, but cars with different stats would be awesome.

[Alex Chosen]

@The Sandwich King yeab but this would only count for the car's body so no weight or attribute or ability changes

[mrdezzz]

would it be possible to upload 3d models of cars, made by the community? cars that look different, but handle the same as the original game car?

[Alex Chosen]

@mrdezzz as I said in the discussion. I'm not a model maker. I'm just bringing this up as a suggestion for refract to think. Because I know that there are a lot of other individuals out there that would program Body Mods for the distance car and tires. Nothing changing the attributes or abilities but only the design and if it's possible to be on Workshop then people could subscribe to a car body and when they play online they could see other people's cars if they are subscribed to it.

Tron bikes that's what I'd like to see they would fit in perfectly

[eh dab]

Am I the only one who would download a stupidly oversized mario kart model?

If we're talking about vehicle mods, that would be highly unlikely. Assuming the Distance developers are going to a TrackMania style of modding, all car mods would perform identically, no matter their mass or things of that nature.

I honestly hope they do that since car mods would be pretty cool in multiplayer; brings so much more diversity.
