Have you ever selected a car in Re-Volt and wished you could see the car from more angles? Well, no more, as this is what this frontend aims to accomplish, the selected car will spin around so you can see details that you could normally not see from other angles, when outside of special frontend screen, the car will also be in view so you can still look at it in the main menu or in the Multiplayer Waiting Room when waiting for the race to begin.
Overall this is more a concept first and frontend after, I first made the concept of what I wanted to do and after various ideas I ended up with the Space theme to keep it simple like the Simple Frontends.
I tried to make the platform try to work with the highest amount of cars possible, but I couldn't find one size that fits all solution so some cars may slightly roll into the correct position when initially dropped from the selection.
It should have everything you'd want from a frontend, podium ceremony works too.
For more advanced users, if you'd like, you can change the speed at which the rotation happens, to do so open "custom_animations.txt" file with a Notepad program, find the line that says "Time" and change the number to change speed of the rotation, a smaller number results in faster rotation, a higher number for a slower rotation, be careful setting the number to a number that is too small or the car might be sent flying away from the platform moving too fast, set it to "19" to restore the original speed.
Thanks to Kiwi for the car box and big screen models from Simple Frontend.
Music is Arena Lobby from Crosscode EX OST, a fitting choice for a lobby environment which is linked to the space theme used in the frontend, if you want to to revert to the classic frontend music instead, go to the track folder and in the "custom" folder, delete the file "muarena.ogg".
Hoping to see this concept on new Frontends as I think it elevates the car and skin selection experience.
Update 1.0.1: Fixed rotating platform having reflections while in Shader=0 mode (Thanks bonczy for the fix). No need to update if you play with Shaders on.
Finally a new frontend with excellent ideas! This so great. 10/10
i love how all the carboxes were lined up just like the character selection screen in fighting games, also its surprising to hear one of deniz’s musics :D
It is perfect. Perfect. Down to the last minute detail.
The innovative rotating car view and the unique space background make this a must-have for any frontend collection. The tutorial for changing the rotation speed is much appreciated as well. (I would also like to add that if you scroll down to RotationAmount in custom_animations.txt and change it from -360 to 360, you can make it spin the other way like in the older Gran Turismos.)The only thing I didn’t like is the music, but I didn’t lower my rating for that as that’s something that can easily be replaced by each user according to their preferences.
I really love how FINALLY, there’s a 360 rotation to view cars! About time!
My suggestion would be, why not create more frontends using the 360 rotation? Like a…..A car showroom, akin to similar games like the PS2 version of NFS Hot Pursuit 2, Project Gotham Racing 2, Enthusia Professional Racing and so on. That’s the only suggestion I can come up with.
In any case, I really like the frontend. Nice work!
It’s an interesting idea, to be honest. Such a frontend would be quite useful for those authors who create cars or skins, so can be viewed from all angles
