Hey, had the problem on AJ's site again... once you click the link you get immediately redirected to a malware/adware site - seems to occur occasionally though (which doesnt make it less annoying)It might be your PC, since Blogger does not do that kind of stuff.
...might be my pc is infected but thats the only website i experience this.
Hello, sorry for late reply.Found out that widget had ads, got rid of it promptly.
Im pretty sure its a advertisement at "Compartir/Share" thats causing this, like i assumed in one of my previous posts. Had the opportunity to test it on a friend's pc (different browser, recent AVP from Kaspersky Labs) with the same result. :o
If i abort loading the page before the add shows up everything is fine. Only thing remarkable that it only happens sometimes (infected advertisement?).
Greetings
PS: just telling facts, i know its not your intention to spread malware ;)
...sry Reight for the Grabbers out there.. :/
Atleast i name Original Authors name: give Credit [...]
i know people,need too Respect others,Work. like cars more...
but i think Tracks are Different from cars Rule?
hi mates.does someone know the admin of that that site? www.nfscardownload.com
i sent him an e-mail but nothing happened.there is a car made by me but titled as another author :/
Well, I think permissions are a difficult topic.
Of course its not ok to take other peoples work, modify it and reupload without giving credit.
No matter if its a menu sound, car, track or whatever.
If the author is still active (even if not) or have a mail adress you must try to contact him for permission.
On the other hand in some cases it will be difficult (or impossible) to contact the author and ask for permission. Some might say, you cannot upload it then. Yes, true in a strict sense. But if i think of cars for example, a lot of modelers didnt ask the manufacturer in the first place. So cars have ferarri or porsche logo or other copyrighted emblems and brands. Car shapes are the product of months-long work of engineers and designers... so aren't we applying double standards here? (just something to think about :) ) Imo it isnt always black'n'white. Dont get me wrong, I have huge respect for the skilled car modelers and I know how much work it is to shape stuff into polygons!
As I said its a difficult topic.
All i want to say is, most of us moving in a grey zone when uploading modifications and we should not judge too hard because everyone here is doing this in freetime without making any profit. Imo it is more important to credit the original author thoroughly than to have permissions. Or to put it straight in a age-old game cite: 'Respect is everything.'
And you really think Ferrari needs external publicity? Do you?
I mean, I find it rather awkward that a famous car manufacturer would even care about what happens in games, but the argument 'it's free publicity' for them doesn't hold. Do you really think that even a single Ferrari or other car was ever sold because someone saw it as a free add-on for a game?
Back to using some else's work, IMO credits should be sufficient, though I have always asked for permission myself if the original author said so in the readme.
I didn't say they need it to exist, but why do you think it is appropriate to sue a modeler for making free publicity? What harm did it cause them then?
Btw, does anyone have a file from this link?
http://cid-fe00b20b7e44f0f3.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/P%C3%BAblico/rk-cars.rar (http://cid-fe00b20b7e44f0f3.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/P%C3%BAblico/rk-cars.rar)
It's a rar file containing a large number of Ryuji Kainoh's NFS4 cars (many of them are hard to find). I think the link was posted by AJ_Lethal in this thread: www.nfsaddons.com/forums//index.php?topic=1065.msg27364#msg27364 (http://www.nfsaddons.com/forums//index.php?topic=1065.msg27364#msg27364)

NFSBolide was facing charges by Ferrari. They forced him to stop building and remove his Ferraris for NFS4 off his website. That story could be read up somewhere, I don't remember where.
However, when I read that, I contacted the main manufacturer I build cars of - Porsche - and guess what? I got a permission to build their cars. That was back when the first Cayman appeared, mainly because I was trying to get blueprints of it, which they won't send. Porsche is cool about noncommercial projects, because it's free publicity for them. As far as I know, Ferrari is the only manufacturer so far, that tried to sue a modder of a racing game for making free publicity for them, which is idiotic. Car manufacturers profit of such things as racing game addons.
The point about permissions, and why Will's tracks for example, which were clearly made without permissions of the original authors are still online, is simply because everyone here tries to keep the NFS4 scene alive. I have thougt a lot about the permission and credits stuff in the past weeks, because Will pokes me all the time about it, and I figured that by strictly enforcing what is right, the scene is harmed more than it benefits from that. Since it's a personal concern for me to keep NFS 4 alive, I wouldn't want to do things that harm the scene.
- www.gigafront.de down.
With Gigafront down, we lose a lot of nfs4 files.Glad I downloaded a lot there the past year.Happily Streetdogs isn't down yet.
Geez, after watching this topic, I'm starting to feel extremely disappointed now. The classic NFS series is dying.
Now the Gigafront site becomes www.toplist-100.de (an online gaming clan site), what a letdown. We've lost so many NFS4 stuffs.
NFSCars site also becomes extremely difficult to navigate now. Its search function and file filtering system are butchered now.
What should we do now? I'm clueless now. :'(

I'm in the process of collecting as much NFSCars stuff as I can, the worthwhile stuff at least not the dozens of tuned NFS4 EA M5s. The problem is that it takes really long because I haven't found a way of mass downloading and the server probably wouldn't like it either. So it's difficult to get cars like Ryuji Kainoh's and NUH Creations' (Christian Xaver made a lot of unique cars you'll never see in modern games). And that's only for NFS4. NFS5 has a lot of new stuff that came out recently, NFS6 has many legacy conversions, and NFS3 has some vintage stuff.
Commenting is propably the most inefficient way to ask an author for permission, specially when they made as many cars as Christian Xaver (NUH). He disappeared from the surface years ago, I used to chat with him on ICQ but he simply didn't come back online at some point, neither respond to emails. No idea if he is still alive either.
http://www.nfs.gen.tr/category/nfs-high-stakes/
Hi fellas :)
Here is another site to dl various nfshs cars.it's in turkish language tho.nvm to me ehehe ;)
Wishing everyone happy holidays ;)
Wow..I found some rare stuff on that indeed. Almost amazes me no one tried to make pursuit versions on some of the cars.
I came across this place by accident, the D/L categories are listed on the right of the page. It seems all pursuit/emergency related, so there may be overlap with other Pursuit focused sites such as Nfs Police HQ, I'm not sure. Oh, and you can only download if you sign in as a member. But anyway:
http://www.emergency-planet.com/files/category/52-need-for-speed-high-stakes-and-hot-pursuit-2-files/
Oh, and this site doesn't really offer any downloads, but I just liked it because it's a long list of tips and tricks for NFS3 and the author is just so enthusiastic. ;) Somewhat typical of how NFS fansites for NFS used to be some 15 years ago...
http://rajazone.tripod.com/docs/nfs/nfscheat.html
Interesting. I tried to register on the site (www.emergency-planet.com), but i do not get any confirmation e-mails. Contacting an admin also failed so far.
Do you have an account on that site? Can you confirm that the displayed downloads are actually working?

For the other site:
I think there is quite an amount of sites like this, where just the webpage can be viewed. I could make a new section, like "Memories" or "Nostalgia" where we could list them. Im just worried it will bloat the topic unnecessarily...
What you guys thinking? Remko, how about you making a new topic for this kind of sites? :)
Tried to register on emergency-planet. But what does Xfire mean?Xfire (I had to look it up) is a freeware instant messenger that was used a lot for connecting online gamers. It also had voice chat at one point, but it was shut down last year.
Like I said earlier, I have no explanation why the registration just won't work, for me it was a matter of seconds. Maybe I was just lucky. Once you sign in, each item gets a blue "Download" button at the right of the screen. But then you get another Disclaimer screen you have to OK before you actually get your file.
It works, but there's a lot of hoops they make you jump through.
I agree that kind of stuff would probably be fine for a separate, dedicated thread, call it the NFS Wayback Machine perhaps? Maybe not very original. ;) And I agree it could also include Internet Archive links, as long as the archived sites aren't too broken.
Possibly some earlier versions of the official Needforspeed sites, the official Porsche Unleashed page was preserved pretty well: https://web.archive.org/web/20010203061900/http://www.needforspeed.com/porsche/pc/index.html
Concerning gtrcars.net I found this:
http://drivingpassion.net/archive/downloads.php?do=cat&id=19
Is there much activity about nfs4 on facebook anyway?About NFS4, not that much that I know of, aside from the authors themselves (like Freak-DS or AJ) posting screenshots from their releases or WIP. Even the official NfsAddons page does little more than post the SOTD each day.
I have no account, so....
The F40 is availible (download works) here on nfsaddons, it's actually 6069 polies b.t.w.
The Lambo has broken link on nfscars.net.But I can send you the car if you like.
Drivingpassion.net is nearly up and running, if you had an old account with gtrcars.net, you may continue to use your old username, however the passwords were not transferred so use the forgot password to reclaim your account. The forums are not yet open, last minute tweaking needs to be finished first.
Hey guys, I've been just checking out some of my external-HDD archives with all kind of stuff and recently found some really interesting models for High Stakes. Like '69 Riviera in civilian and police variants, '38 Corsair and '69 Daytona from Ground Shaker; '63 Avanti from Wingnut and '62 Bel Air from BigBlock. Looks like complete zips fortunately.
But it appears that now I can't find them anywhere online. Is anybody aware that there are still some running resources where I can find other cars from these authors, if there were some?
Can you put those up for download? I love 1960's-1970's police cars.
Hi, Welcome Rider66, and thanks for wanting to contribute to the collection. I appreciate that you're trying to do the right thing by getting the original author's OK. But yeah, most of the time such email accounts aren't valid anymore, and the 'exclusive to a site' factor alo doesn't really hold anymore I think, if that particular site stopped existing long ago.Thanks, well, I'll start to upload them one-by-one. As for GroundShaker's files, yes, I remember that I saw him here some time ago. Can't say for sure how to handle such situation. Anyway, I guess either we can keep officially for preservation purpose, or just keep them somewhere in attachments/outside, being available only by request.
If you've got the original ZIP archives, readme's and all, then I'm not stopping you from uploading them here. (If only because I'm a fan of vintage American cars myself ;)) If you're unsure if a zip is original, then I can look in my own archives and see what I can find.
The 55 T-bird by MH is already here, though: http://www.nfsaddons.com/nfshs/cars/Ford/211/
Only ones I'm not sure of is GroundShaker/JokinenDesign's stuff, because he DID have his stuff hosted here in the past, but then after a few years he asked me to remove it all. So I did, although he never gave me a reason why.
I admit I'm not too sure what the 'right' thing to do is in this case...
Hey Paul Spain,
do you talk about www.std-design.narod.ru by Sergi and Alex? That site is already listed at the Author websites.
Greetings
Found Zacabeb's old NFS site with a couple of mods in it:
http://home.swipnet.se/zacabeb/
Also, the 4lower's download link is broken
WTF is up with NFS Home? Seems alot of these sites close cause people get bored with it and stop having them open, Like was the case with old ND4SPDWORLD I once spoke to Texnolith (I think that's how you spell it) to see if he'd release any of his cop vehicle or other files, Says he got bored and gave it up so he could go into what people call "ricering" cars and I have saw pics of them before. Still though even if it was never updated could have atleast kept the links working I think.
I think I have the perfect solution to keep from loosing these treasures, We ALL band together and form a unique NFs modder's club, See HotMail lets everyone share files and it's FREE no website costs, Only have to worry about paying your ISP's bill to keep your net. We'd have our own secret thing going, We could mention our selves and what not and if people wanna join up with it they have to pass a short exam to make sure they're trust worthy, Then they can join in too. Easy huh :).
WTF is up with NFS Home? Seems alot of these sites close cause people get bored with it and stop having them open, Like was the case with old ND4SPDWORLD I once spoke to Texnolith (I think that's how you spell it) to see if he'd release any of his cop vehicle or other files, Says he got bored and gave it up so he could go into what people call "ricering" cars and I have saw pics of them before. Still though even if it was never updated could have atleast kept the links working I think.

Agreed. Moreover, when it comes to some community-based projects, it's time to think about some subversion systems. Bitbucket, probably, or similar source. Won't be too hard to proceed with any updates for any project that way. As for the things that's going offline - the question is more about copyright issues with original authors.
what's happen of Econobrick's website...even rr2000.toshiba3..........
both of that author, 404 not found what i got......
List updated.
- www.dippold.org (http://www.dippold.org/) added
- www.drivingpassion.net (http://www.drivingpassion.net) got suspended
Official statement from Driving Passion at their facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/drivingpassion.net/):
"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?
The purpose of this thread is to collect valid links to sites that are STILL hosting files (mods, patches, demos, etc.)
of classic Need for Speed games (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Need_for_Speed_video_games) and their special editions (NFS1 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Need_for_Speed), NFS2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed_II), NFS3 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed_III:_Hot_Pursuit), NFS4 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_High_Stakes), NFS5 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Porsche_Unleashed), NFS6 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Hot_Pursuit_2)).

Big Websites and archives are starting at the top, the bottom section lists webpages of authors and other interesting sites. I also added a brief description of what you can expect to find there.
You are free to post whatever you think fits in here ;)
Just don't link webarchives (like web.archive.org) please.
Comments/Suggestions are welcome.
Regards MADMAN
If a link is not working properly, please send me a private message.
I will try to keep this first post up-to-date, i.e. I will add new links to the list and remove dead ones.
Instead of crossing them out, please provide a link to the internet archive version of those sites.I'll check your suggestion. The thing is, the goal of the service web.archive.org mainly is preserving website-texts.
[...]
Would be a good idea for madman to visit those sites every once in a while and try to preserve files. That will make it much easier for people in the future to retrieve files they want. Otherwise, they would have to find someone like us to give them lost files. I know I had to find someone to retrieve long-lost game mods for a game that doesn't exist anywhere in the interweb, and it was a pain.Well, gathering old apps and files for old games is a pain and will always be a pain. I do check the links when updating the list. But sometimes mistakes can happen.
The message exceeds the maximum allowed length (20000 characters).

Hey Remko,
this site is listed in the other thread (Old NFS Websites - Nostalgia & History (https://www.nfsaddons.com/forums/index.php/topic,1966.msg36145.html#msg36145)) at "RS Network" in the list. Because, like you noticed, no files can be downloaded anymore. I linked to archive.org, but indeed the site is still online and it will be easier to navigate the site with a direct link. Going to update the link.
Well, that does give me nostalgia. You could go into edited cars and see screenshot of cars.
While most NFS related things are in the "pub/ea/" path, beware that some files have been stored in different locations.Do you know where to find NFS 5 updates? I need the official one, mainly 3.5.
(for example the Voodoo3 patch for NFS3 is at
Have you checked that, does it already contain a crack?As I said, I checked all that I could find on internet.
Additionally the file dates display August 2000... when the patch actually has been released...?
Hello bfut,didn't know there was an updated version of that track, all I had was the 2000 version of it
that track was made by AccadaccA (& Nite) and hosted exclusively on totalnfs.net -> Link (https://web.archive.org/web/20070923022859/http://www.totalnfs.net/nfs4/tracks/index.html)
Unfortunately web.archive.org did not save this file from that page.
At lonebullet.org (https://www.lonebullet.com/maps/download-bathurst-need-for-speed-high-stakes-map-level-free-28030.htm) and gamefront.online (https://www.gamefront.com/games/need-for-speed-high-stakes/file/bathurst) you will find the Bathurst track for download, however this is the original release from 1999 - there was an updated version too.
Can't find any links to the updated version, but i sure can upload that for you from my backups -> Google Drive (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jz0fkdC9L0pkwj2vZhGDzaUJN1jIUKX7)

I'm happy to report that RP-Design is back online: http://rp-design.lintu.dyndns.org/That is awesome! I wonder if nappe1 would mind if we archive the rest of his stuff here?
Nappe1 contacted me earlier this evening and shared that he revived his more than 20-year old site containing NFS3 and NFS4 cars, tracks and tools, as well as his more recent GT Legends mods (although the links for the latter files don't work at the time of writing). Bringing the site back online at an anniversary is a tradition of sorts. ;)
Another tradition is a 'wayback-machine' page of the site as it was in 1999: http://rp-design.lintu.dyndns.org/way-back-machine/ (links to the Volvo and Jaguar are dead, but they work in the current site above)
