NFS:HS Support / Calculating normals

« on: Mar 04, 2022, 11:32 AM »

Some cars have parts wich have all colors of the rainbow (often antennes or driverarms). I used to calculate normals with fcefinish but than the whole car (HB part) looks bad. I'm able to fix a bit but not always satisfying.

How can I fix normals in Zmod?

When I try I select objects, surface, normals, calculate. But no result.

Also when importing the car.fce Zmod 1.07b crashes.

General NFS / nfs3 / nfs 4 fedata history section

« on: Mar 11, 2020, 6:49 AM »

Ever since I started playing nfs4 (after nfs3) I wondered why the history section in the fedata wasn't displayed in nfs4 like in nfs3.

NFS3 has some different options to add picture's/backgrounds to the game.

I fooled around with the nfs4 .mnu files, comparing them with the.mnu files from nfs3.

Found some things but never succeeded.

A funny fact is: 

There's a history.mnu in nfs4 data/menu, it's not used but you can activate it by creating a link.

In game there's not much but an empty menu with a logo and some buttons.

There's a droplist for your cars, all greyed out but................

When you add a hxxxx.qfs file in data/showcase/art by the name of a car (f.e. hp911.qfs) the car shows up in history menu.

But I can't get the history text visible in game.

Must be some codelink....



Anyone digged into this?

General NFS / F563.qfs in nfs4

« on: Feb 23, 2020, 1:40 AM »

Does anybody know what this file is for?

Data\FeArt\Vidwall\F563.qfs

It's not a vidwall for a car. I can't open it with nfswizard or fshtool

And I noticed the EA Porsche 911 has no Interior look in the showcase.

I play nfs4 for ages and only just recently I discovered this....funny.

General NFS / Lost nfs4 cars continued

« on: Mar 30, 2019, 10:40 AM »

Hi,

There are still nfs4 cars gone from the Web which I like to show and maybe share.

The plan is, I show pic's and wait for reactions, if there are no complaints and you want the car, send me a PM and I give you a downloadlink (readme's are mostly lost)

First car:

AM General Hummer H2 Off Road '04 by UCN Conversions & Viper

General NFS / Upgrades in singleplayer.

« on: Feb 16, 2017, 11:16 AM »

Hi,

Since there is a ''modern patch'' and some HEX editing (ghost files), has anybody ever tried to crack the career mode?

When I like the upgrades of a car, I seperate them and make it stand alone cars.

I would love see an upgrade possibility for multitexture policecars in singleplayer or pursuitmode.

I never play careermode anymore but it had such nice features like damagerepair and upgrades.

Any thoughts?

General NFS / nfs3 ''Christine''

« on: May 10, 2016, 1:09 AM »

Hi,

Since nfs3 can be updated with Veg's modern-patch, I got interested in the game again.I think the dashes in nfs3 are great.I remember back in the days I played nfs3 (1999) I didn't have dashview, my graphics card didn't support it or something.

I found NightmareNMX made a dash for the '58 Plymouth Fury by Power city tuning team.

http://nfsaddons.com/nfshp/cars/Plymouth/1766/

In the discription he said the car is availible at nfscars.net.But I can't find the nfs3 version.

Anyone?

« on: Nov 07, 2015, 7:50 AM »

Hi,

In the past few months I checked my nfs4 carcollection.In the beginning I didn't keep the readme.txt, but I always knew the author(s).I like to show you 34 nfs4 cars which I cannot find on any online source.So I'm looking for original .zip's of these cars.

So far I like to thank Remko, xj220 and MADMAN_nfs for their help.

General NFS / nfs4 mixer/carmanager

« on: Oct 17, 2014, 11:00 AM »

After a bit to many gamecrashes I need some advice:

-Running nfs4 with EP pack from JimD.
-49 cars installed
-No profile created in career (so I didn't buy cars)

When I deactivate all cars:

-and select 49 new cars I get gamecrash
-or select EA original cars I get gamecrash

I tried all this with unique serialnr.s

ps: When I activate EA or original cars, the Corvette (serialnr. 19) is not selected.

Any ideas?

General NFS / NFS HS Mixer/carmanager questions

« on: Jul 18, 2010, 11:10 AM »

Hi,

The carmanager (by Jim Diabolo) is a great tool, but there are some things I don't understand.

(I have 1300 cars installed, they are all mixer cars and I never play online.)

I have made some carmod's (hsc files) with 49 cars each and saved them with serialnr's that do not match.


-But the serialnr's are changing after a while.I still need to check them.Why?

-And when I install the original EA cars (23) I get gamecrash.

-What exactly happens when I recalculate checksums? I did it ones and all my mod's got corrupted

I hope someone can help me

General NFS / Great nfs3 car but unknown author

« on: Sep 02, 2007, 3:11 AM »

Found this great low poly Mercury Cougar on nfsstreetdogs here:

http://http://nfs.onlinewelten.com/en/downloads,id206,mercury_cougar_eliminator.html

I got a feeling that somebody named ''stacker'', made a bad conversion to nfs4 found here:

http://http://nfs.onlinewelten.com/en/downloads,id2963,1969_mercury_cougar.html

I also did a quick conversion (see pic).The car showed up in black and I couldn't change that


http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5184/mercurycougareliminatorga1.jpg


2 questions:

-Does anybody know the car or author
-How can I change the colors (it worked in nfs3, so why not in nfs4)
