I use both of them. Sometimes I may lose a car and then download it again from nfscars/nfsaddons. Nfscars has some cool early nfs mods, too.

it was amazing circa 2000-2002, but so was NFSGarage. it's too bad EA stopped allowing mods out of the box after High Stakes.

based on the ancient history lodged in my brain, NFSCars and NFSAddons have unique mods to either site. so one doesn't really have the advantage over the other. the mismanagement of NFSCars in the post-2011 dark ages has shifted the balance more this way I guess, given this site actually functions as it should.

both NFSCars and NFSAddons hate me for all the wrong reasons. I have no intentions of uploading new car projects until these are resolved.

I'm a little late to the party, I was never able to get any of the D3D modes to work for mine so I was stuck with nGlide. I'm intrigued the NFS2 opengl3 worked, and in 1024x768@32 bit. it totally reset my HUD, I have to fix that. antialiasing wouldn't come up in nGlide screenshots, so I'm hoping this fixes that.

I have a Condition also.
An I hope you can Do more on your Great Projects bro mecha have a great day! To. Stay warmer 😶‍🌫️🤟😊😎

winter in Texas is fairly decent. I do one way wish I could move back to Illinois though. I had to come here for work.

I have a psychological evaluation from 20 years ago (the last time I did it) that confirms me having OCD.

I don't know where the time went, but the super official variant of mecha & Azrael known as F-body Faction is 20 years old.

some trivia about the name I don't think I ever shared...

Azrael and I's earliest projects were released under the mecha & Azrael name. but as the college semester progressed, my input in projects diminished, and then Azrael started posting cars under Azrael & mecha and eventually just Azrael. the group name was born out of my OCD, because I wanted all our cars to be accessible under a unified name through that 'all projects by author' thing at NFSCars back in the day.

the fun period was short lived when Viper Jay 5 was appointed administrator of the site. 2003 was simultaneously an awesome and truly awful period of my life.

well, what happens if I do though?

Can't we all just get along.

old server: blow whole thing up
new server: just ban mecha and talk about him ad nauseum to where he can't respond to anything you're saying

they sound like winners with great strategy

I suppose I should clear a few things up.

1) I did not shut down the other discord, nor do I know entirely what happened. I was asleep and woke up to a bunch of messages and the old Discord being shut down.

2) It is a coincidence that the font in the NFSAddons logo is the same as the F-body Faction logo. It's a nice font, what can I say. I didn't know until ~6 months later when Mecha pointed it out. As far as I know, it was not created by Mecha. It's called Planet Kosmos and is free to use.

3) I don't take any of this as disrespect to NFSAddons. That being said, I created the site as a place for people to share their work and passion for the NFS series. If I recall correctly, it was the first NFS site to allow people to upload their own work. I understand there are people that love the classic games and hate the newer ones. And there are people that love the newer ones and have never played the classic ones. All are welcome here. I respect all modders and appreciate everything they do. Whether it's creating cars, vinyls, tracks (none of which I've ever figured out how to do) or even just taking screenshots for the SOTD. They are taking time out of their lives to make NFS more enjoyable for the rest of us.

4) What I do not want for NFSAddons to turn into is what was happening in the previous Discord channel. It wasn't just one person, so I am not blaming anybody. The language (I have no problem with swearing, but other language that was being used is not something I want associated with NFSAddons), negativity, fighting etc. There are other discord servers for that.

This is a place for people to ask questions without being judged, create whatever mods they want to create and share them with other fans, and discuss NFS and cars in general. That's why we are all here.

it's the mecha font! 

as for everyone else, it's just jokes. I'm sorry you interpreted it seriously like I'm some kind of large scale threat to your well being. this isn't a war and should not be treated as such.

I don't know how many of my messages were transferred to your server via screenshots, but anyone that's been around since 2002 knows I've always supported modders, in fact so much that I placed a heavy bias favoring them over anyone else. I don't read other channels on Discord besides #general, so I don't see anyone's projects. I don't know who makes what be it cars, vinyls, vidwalls, showrooms, or whatever else. so I am also sorry if it was conveyed that I wasn't supportive of anyone else's efforts.

@AJ_Lethal new releases will emerge someday. I think a large chunk of the modeling/texturing is done, it's just a matter of merging all those parts together. I liked your Bonus Camaro, that prompted me to make the 1993 Pace Car a couple years ago. I was never able to tell you this previously because you hate me by default for whatever reason and wouldn't talk to me.

@CEOs turn all your sounds off on Discord like I do. I don't care about 10 of you pinging me all the time.

the NFSAddons Discord was sabotaged on May 23, 2020 by some unknown users. all users of the server were apparently removed and all channels were deleted and was renamed to "Mecha Ruins Everything" in what I perceive to be some kind of attempt to blame me for it. just stating facts here, I was only aware of Mike Henderson (owner of NFSAddons), possibly Remko, and LRF Modding holding Administrator roles, whereas I was only a Moderator. I am a little uncertain as to how LRF is admin and I'm a mod when I've been an admin on the www.nfsaddons.com site since 2006. but whatever.

I can only surmise that this effort was brought about because I made a joking comment to AndreiK that vinyls didn't require as much skill to make as a whole car (which Azrael and I have been doing together going back to 2002 with other collaborators in F-body Faction). I made it a point of emphasis that, since a majority of the user base weren't even alive when Underground came out, that the only mods that were available for the game then were vinyls. until of course Arushan eventually cracked the file formats for Underground, Underground 2, and Most Wanted. I was no longer interested in arguing the authenticity of vinyl mods, their purpose, the skill required to make them, or to satiate the Gen Z collective's interests in such mods and I left Discord. I slept for approximately 6 hours, woke up, and was greeted to NFSAddons Discord being gone, replaced with an empty Mecha Ruined Everything server that I didn't find the least bit amusing and subsequently just left.

Awesome and I created a new server, while LRF and the CEO of ___ characters created their own. judging by how each server represents entire different portions of the current NFS community with ours having old and theirs having new, I take great issue with this splintering of the base. I have been banned from their new server, which I'm assuming means they're passionate enough about vinyls to disrespect me, disrespect Mike Henderson and Remko, and disrespect NFSAddons as a whole. I didn't possess administrative credentials to execute removal of every user, delete channels, or rename the server to try and frame me for doing it. I want the person that did this to own up to what they did, and I want to merge the servers into one official entity.

I've contributed much to the NFS community for near 20 years. my font is literally in the NFSAddons banner. NFSAddons/AddonsNetwork was something Mike Henderson and I jointly associated to produce. you will stop questioning how many cars I've created and what I've done. I've done far more than any of you will ever be capable of doing because the remnants of your community have been on life support for 10 years and you will never have the chance.

oh hey, NFSCars is back to full operation.

heh

I can't believe I haven't posted in this thread in almost 5 years. I decided to start tinkering with Zmod and PSP again. I had posted in the upcoming projects on the main site a couple years ago, but due to various life events I suspended all work on cars. so here's what to expect soon:

Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Concept (LT1)
Chevrolet Camaro Z28 1993 Pace Car (LT1)
Chevrolet Camaro ZL-1 (572 ci)
30th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am WS6

Pontiac Banshee Concept

the old cars from 2006-2007 will all be re-released eventually as they had various glitches I overlooked then and new improvements.

many of you may not be culturally aware of how much of a hero that man was in his time. lol

the forums have been deactivated because the server software is out of date. there are no protections against spam bots at all. to run forums, not only do they get immediately overrun by fake accounts, but it slows the site to a crawl. if they just updated it would be good again. (theoretically)

as for why the site is still operational, it has ads. I never noticed, I have been using adblockers for years now.

half of an NFSCars is still better than no NFSCars I guess.
