I'll have a look at this when I get off duty, Several Police,Trooper,and Sheriff cars I can do 😃.

Finally some NFS3 mods

Paul Spain3 years ago

Had a look at it lastnight and with a few edits to the doors it'll be perfect to make my pursuit ideas .

Meanwhile I slighty updated wheel model to more standard HD look, so now each about 200+ polys :)

Amazing work again! ...And the first time we see an old Pontiac LeMans for an old NFS game. I like the reminiscence of NFS1. :thumbsup: I would use it as a traffic car for that reason. Allthough in NFS1 it is a 1974 model this "newer"one fits even better.

Maybe you should ask Econobrick to convert some of his Carmageddon2 cars to NFS... Sadly he stopped converting his cars on his own. He made a very nice 1984 Pontiac Sunbird (NFS1) and a nice VW T3 Vanagon (NFS2) ;)

Yeah, I recall Econo's cars pretty well. Back in the day that Monza hatchback was one of my favorites for C2. And also there were some tools around, which would allow conversion for sure. Heck, I guess Toshiba-3 still have my Courcheval Manta remake which I made for Carmageddon and he converted :) If Econo still around anywhere, I guess I can ask if we can use his models for NFS.

Great to see those Carmageddon cars by Econobrick, some of them are also in nfs4. I would love to see that Citroën Ami 6.

This Pontiac (wich game does it come from?) is also very nice, I think I will reinstall nfs3 because of it.

itchyboy made Pontiac and some others with intention to be used in Emergency series, yet it seems that they fits NFS well too. Of course I made it look more NFS'ish a bit, including changes for 1.1 version, but other than that, starting polycount is good to be used in NFS. 6,5k for final result - that's even good to be used maybe even without Modern Patch.

I've contacted one of our builders about cutting body lines into the body so it can be used to do some pursuits,I converted the .FCE from 3 to HighStakes using CarCad. Buford T. Justice's car can finally be made, If FrankNFurter comes outta retirement he'll be like and might take up editing it himself.

Noise: You'll be happy to know I have a 1982 Skoda 120L VB in the works that was from Carmageddon, if I didn't loose it when my 8TB external crashed, I caught it when it was acting up and was able to copy alot over to a small stick drive but not all stuff ofcourse. Mods though are only a small bit of it, It had a ton of movies and games as well as software on it. Anyway once I do the VB you can edit it to civilian if you like.

@P.Spain: Nice,an old Skoda with no VW influence.

Paul Spain3 years ago(edited)

Well the shape is like a cross between a VW Golf and Wartburg 353 so it might have had some VW influence even back then 🤣.

....and rear engined like a Beetle. Nothing to do with a Pontiac Le Mans so end discussion.

A Can Am version of this beauty would be nice.

Skoti_nfs2 years ago

When I start the race, the game crashes. It happens with every other car made by you. Any idea why?

pete95162 years ago

Oh wow really? I've not been aware from that. So you didn't have to rename the part names?

Skoti_nfs2 years ago

No, I simply deleted the ones mentioned above, and it started working

noise1 year ago

If the car has HS partnames already, can it be converted to nfs4?

pete95161 year ago(edited)

It's also missing content beyond 2022

EDIT: But it's very good to be able to have a look at the page again

LRFAdmin1 year ago

Because it's an archived version from 2021.

Paul Spain1 year ago

Converting from 3 to 4 is super easy, Open the 3 CAR.FCE in CarCad and then save it as a NFS 4 CAR.FCE, You'll have to redo ALL the lights on it though.

pete95161 year ago

That's a really bad way of doing if you ask me. Just open up the car.fce in FCE Converter and click on "Set default", then all part names will be renamed except the popup lights:
