I found it on harddrive. Somehow i have never installed it before the Today.

...Its not only allows to set the colors to prevented .fce's, but many other things that is relative .FCE files (damged fce's, count of polygons, the car parts names, driver movement...)

Yes i know the prog. Especially useful for color editing since you can independetly set the opacity of a color. Tiny and simple to use. It is running without installation too (just dat and exe file). The author is Rocket.
Still downloadable at nfscars.net -> http://www.nfscars.net/need-for-speed-high-stakes/2/files/view/5231/

FCE Converter is standard tool in every author's kit, haha. :D It's also important for setting rotateable vertices in the driver.

However, I prefer to set the base color in FCE Colors by Klaus Heyne and only after that fine tune it in FCE Converter.

I never used that program to convert files to HighStakes from NFS 3, I simply opened them in CarCad and then saved as NFS4 FCE.
NFS HighStakes is the best

Indeed, http://crud.toshiba-3.com is completely offline. So Econobrick's NFS and Carmageddon files are no longer available.

I will also remove Ferarri Man's site http://fmhsmod.wordpress.com, since it is missing the key aspect of this thread now. His dropbox account was suspended due to exceeding traffic limits, so the only remaining and working links there point to external sites like nfscars.net. To change that it would require him to actively reupload the affected files and update his blog which is, quite likely, not going to happen.

Finally Veg's site found a way on the list. Not because i forgot about it all the time... i simply wasn't sure where to place it :)
In my opinion the modern patch changed everything from top to bottom. So i even thought about making a new section for it or integrating the sitelink in the description somewhere...

Howsoever, just hoping this list provides a somewhat consolidated overview of available sites and is useful in one way or another.

- http://crud.toshiba-3.com/nfs4cars.shtml offline
- http://fmhsmod.wordpress.com hosted files offline (dropbox)

- http://veg.by/en/ added

I tried http://crud.toshiba-3.com/nfs4cars.shtml just now, and it seems to be up again... it loads slow, but if you give it a minute, it loads (and the links work). So I'm guessing its downtime was temporary, whew.

Thanks for keeping the list updated, tho.

Oh thats great, Econobricks site is back online again.

So hopefully it was just a temporary issue...

wow, seems like there are still a few who like the classics? thought I was the only one.

Its been some time since I hit the forums, but I have a PC with working titles of NFS SE all the way to NFS Rivals. This includes Motor City Offline and NFS World Offline.

Im an old timer in the NFS series, so ask me any questions about them.

Also I am up for racing in any of the series, though that can be a challenge for some of the games at this point.

I also wonder, is anyone else crazy enough like me to have all the NFS games running on their PC? Is there interest in having a PC that could run all the NFS games?

List updated.

- www.dippold.org added
- www.drivingpassion.net got suspended

Official statement from Driving Passion at their facebook page:
"Server has expired, may not be renewed."

When someone asked if this is the final goodbye they replied "the mods are safe and sound", though.
So this is not clear to me. Someone knows any details?

We forgot to pay for the hosting, lol.

Nik did back up the site contents, so there's a possibility of going back online although IDK when.

Thanks AJ for clearing things up.  :)
Hope it will be possible to keep the site alive... btw do you know how many GB of space are neccessary to run the website?
