Brief Description:
==================

It's me, it's me, it's erm, Azz. Yes I'm back again, with another car. I
don't intend to make a habit of this (though I do have another two in 
development, but judging by public reaction I doubt they'll make release).

So what is it this time? Well it's the Syncope, like it says up there.
This car was designed specifically for use in GTA London, but don't fret
if you're among those lacking good judgment and you don't own the best 
game in the GTA series, as there are GTA and GTA2 versions included.

It's a sports car, think of it as the road version of a LeMans racer and
you'll get the idea. Sort of a GT40 and a P917 rolled into one, with a 
little AR flair of course. This is my first real attempt at a gull wing
car as well (the doors go up, like a DeLorean), and I think they're quite
successful.

The shading style is nothing like my usual one, but I really do like it.
It's very easy to do and looks amazing in game (I'm not one to brag, but
it does honest). It's a mix of Ray Larabie's GTA London shading style and
my own softened version. I basically made a car my normal way, but with
sharper highlights, then hit it with the unsharpen mask and it ended up
like this.

You have downloaded the GTA2 only version, if you want GTA or GTA London
versions as well then check out the GTA/GTA London user cars section of
my site, or the Azz pages of the InHouse section of my site.

Oh yeah, and the name means a temporary loss of consciousness due to lack
of blood, but I actually took it from the musical term syncopation, which
means displacement of the beats or accents in a passage so strong beats 
become weak and vice versa. So now you know ;-)

Credits:
========
First of all big credits to Ray for his awesome and inspirational GTA London
art work, shame Larabiefonts has to close, but I know you'll do just as well
with your next project.
Also thanks to those who provided useful feedback via my message board. And
thanks to those who just made gurgling sounds as well. 
Oh and ta to Phoenix who convinced me to make some more destructive deltas,
I think they turned out pretty well.


Details:
========

This time around the GTA2 conversion is much more successful (though
it wasn't any quicker to do, damn mirroring headlights). Uses ingame
palettes so you can set your own remaps. I've been using remap numbers

5
16
0
3
25

But you should experiment. Set the palette number to 172 and you'll get 
a decent starting colour.

Other Stuff:
============

That's probably all. I hope you like it. Even if you don't, I do and I 
had fun making it, which is all that really counts :-)

Cheers,
Azz
