Below you can find official interesting curiosities related to this model and version. Tab "curiosities" has been additionaly expaned by few segments, thanks to that you can find specific information easier. Additionally, unlike the old site, some curiosities may have pictures showcasing it.

* Curiosities for each models have been written from scratch and there are a lot more of them than on old mods.darewnoo.pl


Below this tab there is another one - a complete work process on this model. This might be actual or archival (depending on information: "Model finished", "Work in progress..."). A table with description of work done was divided into more categories. Thanks to that there is no more chaos like on old, violet mods.darewnoo.pl. Both curiosities and work progress are related to the first model from GTA IV.

> Daewoo Musso HI-DLX 1999 - curiosities

Things related to www.mods.darewnoo.pl


• It is our next model to feature a mods.darewnoo magazine as an Easter egg (No. 5, February).

Changes in content of the final folder compared to the previous models

-

Testers and authors of the screenshots


• The tester and the author of the screenshots was darewnoo.

Things that were planned, but not added

• The model was supposed to have one extra version of front bull bars,

• Initially, the model was supposed to have a 2.9 Turbo Diesel engine. Finally, it was replaced with 3.2 engine, while 2.9 was later used in our Korando.

• Behind the grille, a picture based texture was supposed to be used, not a single colour.

Things never planned, but added


• Initially, it was not planned to connect the side and rear bull bars in one object, this was done during testing (11.02, to be precise),

• The lip on the front bumper was supposed to be a not random part.

• The black frame of the headlights was not planned. Lazlow added it by himself.

Random parts

• Model has several random parts.

Costs


• Model was not co-financed by sponsors, it was fully paid by creator of darewnoo.pl.

Mistakes and bugs in model

• The lower part of the center console in the real Musso is grey, not wooden, but that mistake remained on purpose,

• Low quality of the foglight texture,

• Low quality taillights texture,

• Low quality steering wheel texture,

• Interior switches does not have a texture,

• Too large space between the glove box, radio and AC panel.

Curiosities related to the working progress of the model


• The work on this model took place from November 11 to February 14, 2016 (with breaks), and the model was released on February 22, 2014.

• In theory, this model took the longest time to finish, but that was caused by a lot of longer breaks. Without them, the car was made in nearly a month, which is a great result for a model made from scratch with such amount of details.

Information about number plates

MS on the number plate stands for MuSso. 83 is an accidental number.

Base model


• It was a base model, but no other version was made based on it.

Differences to other subversion of the simillar model

-

Original dimensions


• Model was based on original dimensions (4640 x 1730 x 1850 mm).

Parts and textures prepared by darewnoo

• number plate texture and the sticker on the doors

Other curiosities


• It is one of our few models after 2014 without the glass markings.

 

• The rear bumper is not separated (connected to the body).

 

• The brochure 3D model is downloaded from a website with free 3D models.

 

• The side indicators texture is actually... the wood texture from interior.

 

• The wood texture is taken from Tacuma, just like the orange stripes on the rear windshield, which were slightly modified.

 

• The taillights texture is actually a texture of Tagaz Road Partner, but that is the same car as Musso, so this isn’t a mistake.

 

• It is our first model to have 8 random parts – this is the maximum random part amount in GTA IV.

 

• The chassis was based on the pictures of the real Musso.

 

• The magazines and a random grid in the boot were added in the last moment.

 

• It is our second base model with polycount above 100 000 – the first one was Tacuma.

 

• It is the first Musso made for GTA, as well as the first 3D model of it publicly available.

 

• Right after Musso was finished, the work on the next model was started (Korando).

 

• People, who have me in Facebook friend list, knew about the work on this model way earlier than visitors of the old mods.darewnoo.pl. Because I had problems with running my website, the progress from January 29, to February 6, was published HERE, and the missing information on the website were published.

 

• It was our only model which was initially released on gtainside.com, and then on mods.darewnoo.pl. This was due to technical problems with the website – all models were initially released on mods.darewnoo, then on gtainside.

 

• The final textures were later corrected by me (darewnoo).

 

• It is our next model with fully working indicator lights on the dashboard.

 

• The curiosities for this model were never available on old mods.darewnoo.pl (2012-2016).
