Dodge Viper GTS-R

http://www.bmwsport.net/nfsg/11.jpg

it's based on eric arroyo's viper, isnt' it?

Yep, it's in the readme.

Fetchfido did not claim to make this car though. It was converted from NFS3.

i never said that Fetchitfido claimed to have done it, i just asked if it was based on Eric's car.

As far as i can tell this has the exact same performance stats as the real Viper GTS-R and unlike the others it looks like a viper and not a box on wheels. I figured i wasnt the only one who wanted a Viper GTS-R that looked right so i converted it from eric arroyo's nfs3 one to high stakes.

Oh and Thanks to BMWSport for the picture

I have the need for speed high stakes and i have dowloaded this car but it wont show up on my game. Do i have to dowload something else to use them in the game, if so please tell me. My email is drkfish24@aol.com

There isnt anything else to download. Maby the serial #'s are the same as a diffrent car.I know thats a problem in the carrer mode. does it just show a faint outline of the car thats colored a pinkish-purple? if it is then something wrong with the texture file

do I have to download the .zip file

yes you need to download the .zip file. if you cant extract it then you need the latest version of winzip or winace. winzip can be found at www.winzip.com ,click on 'download evaluation version' or winace at www.winace.com

does it cost money

winzip is free forever enventhough it says evaluation version and winaceis also free but i didnt keep it long enough to find out how long. winzip didnt do a good job of makeing ppl pay for it, all it will do is tell you that the evaulation period is gone but you still get all the features.

Which winace version do i download

Im not sure it matters, I did the latest version just to be safe.I geuss thats version 2.11

what folder do u put it in

The car or winace? If your talking about the car then you need to create a folder in your nfs hs directory in the folder marked cars. If your talking about winace then it just needs to be a folder where you can remember it, most people reccomend the desktop or my documents. You also need to install the game with full or typical installation.

To get this car up to 224 mph you need to do single race and go to car tuning and tune it for high speed and low grip, with racing tires. Other wise your lucky if it goes above 200 mph

how do i make my own cars

You need to find someone like JokienDesign or any other high quality car creater that. I only converted this car from nfs 3 to nfs 4 and somehow i got lucky with this one because its the only one thats worked correctly after conversion.

I hope the admins dont mind my saying so but if you got to nfscars.com you can probly find a car that you want already made. If i cant find a car i want here i can 80% of the time find it there.

i cant get cars to show up why

What happens? does it close the game with some type of error or does the car name show up in the list but just a faint outline in the window where you can customise the car? If its the second one I'll do some experimenting and try to figure it out. If its the first question then you probly need nfs wizard to change the serial #'s.

the game is ok its just the car name and car is not on my list

Hmmmm. If you havent got NFSWizard then get it and open the car.viv file and then the fedata.eng file. Make sure that in the Data tab its got a name, something like Viper GTS-R and you may need to change the serial # in the Genral tab. I've got it set to 48.

If that doesnt work then you could try to get JokienDesign or Martin Leps to help you. I dont know if they help people or not but they know a lot more about they way NFSHS works then I do and would know better how to help.

how do i get the wizard thing

At Link
click on the 'download' button for "NFS Wizard 0.5.0.79" not "NFS Wizard Launcher"

gonna have to copy and paste it to your address bar.

then should it work

I just thought of a really simple question. When you installed NFSHS which installition type did you choose? only 'full' or 'typical' will work with addon cars. Also, if you have gotten the latest 2-3 online patches from EA then you need to download V4.43 because it forces the game to read the cars off the CD like the installition 'minimum' does.

OPPS :) V4.43 lets the game read from the file in you computer and the latest 2-3 patches forces the game to read off the CD.

were do i get 4.43

At Link
copy + paste to address bar, file is called 'Official Patch v4.43'

then what

download it and install and then the car(s) should work you download it by clicking on the 'download' button and choose 'open' on the pop up window you could choose save but it may be too confusing for you because you'd have to remember where it saved to

it dont work. what version of .zip do in need and where can i find it

Didnt we already go through this? get the NEWEST VERSION (8.1) of winzip at WWW.WINZIP.COM

it still dont work

Did you make a new folder in your C:/Program Files/Need for speed high stakes/data/cars" folder? Need to extract the car.viv file to that folder.

i hope this is fixed now...over a year later, hope you got it installed.
