[Mostly Cars] - Full Permission Racing Vehicle Kit

==[Mostly Cars] Full Permission Racing Vehicle Kit==

==========================================
Update -- Aug. 5th, 2024

Added PBR material support, included the default paint selection menu seen on many of my other cars, added the "infotext" script for handling hover text data, added the blue flag transponder system. Both of the latter utilize the Opengate lap timer system, which is now included.
==========================================

** PLEASE NOTE **

This kit is intended for people who are serious about making their own racing vehicles in SL.

While I've tried to make it in such a way that a beginner can read, study, and start to understand some aspects of vehicle scripting, this is NOT intended for someone with zero knowledge of scripting in general. Instead, this is intended as a simple (but proven) starting platform for someone who wants to script vehicles for racing purposes.

While I can answer some basic questions about the scripts and provide limited support to buyers, I don't have the time to teach someone scripting from the ground up.

With all of that out of the way...

This kit is a full permission version of the latest evolution of my work at the time of release, and includes the following.

// SCRIPTS //
--The main vehicle script
--A custom menu script for controlling vehicle options
--A collision detection script for impacts with various objects
--A pit detection script, for initiating pit stops
--A wheel animation script, for handling wheel turning and rotation
--An 'infotext' script, for handling hovertext data
--A transponder script that tracks race data and displays a blue flag for lapped cars
--A 'draft sensor' script, for detecting vehicles ahead for the purposes of slipstreaming
--A 'pit box' script, allowing you to designate a spot to make your pit stops

// VEHICLE //
--A full permission model of the IR-05, used in competition by the Indy Racing League from 2007-2011. This model was created by Mike Peters (http://petersmotorsports.com/) and converted with his permission. The vehicle includes a full set of textures, including liveries from the 2010 season.

// SOUNDS //
-- A set of engine sounds for the car

// ANIMATION //
--One driving animation

// OPENGATE LAP TIMER //
--The complete Opengate lap timing system, created by Les White, distributed as a complete package per his request. The version of the lap timer I have included has been edited to add a couple of features, including a script that communicates with my vehicles to make sure they have the correct listen channel configured.

The car is fully scripted and ready to race, right out of the box, so you have a working example of a racing vehicle to start with.

Feel free to move the scripts to another car and adapt them for your own purposes, or experiment with this one - changing the numbers around to make it perform the way you want.

This kit should be a solid starting point for any dedicated vehicle builder who wants to make something for competitive racing purposes.

As this is a full permission kit, please DO NOT redistribute with full permissions any of the following:

-The vehicle model, or its parts
-The main vehicle script

You are free to redistribute any of the other scripts, the sounds, the driving animation, and the textures as you see fit.
