Online-Resources of classic NFS titles

I got a neat piece of news: you can use the Ruffle browser extension to render STD-Design's site functional.

Came across this russian site with old nfs3 cars. I didn't see it  in the list. Download links seem to be working.

Update. 

- www.ds-servers.com added
- www.fangio.de (risen from the ashes) added
- nfs3expansionpack.webs.com, moved to Webarchive section - Interestingly the dropbox file seems to have been archived by the Wayback machine!

- www.nfscars.net, seems the site ultimately departed Cyberspace in June 2024
   Fortunately at least, in 2021 someone crawled a backup of the whole site, as mentioned by Offroader_x in the "What happened to all those NFS modding websites?"-thread.
- www.lespittet.com, all NFS files got wiped
- www.nfs2003.msk.ru, home of the (never finished) "High Stakes 2008" mod is down - abondoned URL nfssupf.narod.ru still accessible, though
- www.nfscheats.com, is down
- 2Torcs Labs, down but preserved at archive.org 
- www.halfmoon2.com, is down
- Zorro's Webpage, is down
- The Evil Realm by PumaY2K, down too
- John Kahler's site, is down
- Memphis' site, gone too
- needforspeed3.racing, is down

Thanks AJ for mentioning the Ruffle Plugin, gotten to know this and using that a lot ever since.

Christian Pittet's old site is still up, it can be accessed here: https://www.lespittet.com/legacy/internal/index.htm

Oh wow, thanks AJ
Seems the files got moved, haven't noticed the "Héritage"-button.

Putting www.lespittet.com right back into the list with updated link!

Has anyone downloaded the entire NFS Cars 2021 archive yet? I'll have it soon as my net reset to it's annual 200GB limit late last night and the archive was 90% done when I burned my limit last time so I started it before I went to bed last night, it'll likely be finished by the time I get off duty..Looking at it it looks to be ALOT of YouTube vids,pics,and forum posts, I have yet to find the actual files, After it's done I'll open it up and try to separate files from the other stuff, As is though it's a jumbled mess  .

[MADMAN_nfs]

I downloaded the 2021 crawl.
All the files are in numbered subfolders inside the "nfscars-assets" folder. The files are not sorted by game, there are also a lot of empty folders. The assets folder contains 15.802 files in 18.480 folders and is 44.5 GB in extracted size.
So yes, the majority of that 160GB archive is actually showroom pictures - they are in the "media" subfolder inside "www.nfscars.net" folder and sum to roundabout 121GB of extracted size.

The good news is, the "www.nfscars.net" folder has index files that are sorted by game. Inside these folders you find the numbers that correspond to the "assets" Folder (at "%game-id%\files\view\%mod-id%" subfolders).

The index files are html text versions of the download page and contain info about the mod - game, category, name etc.
So in Theory it should be possible to sort all files by game, by separating corresponding Folder numbers accordingly.

I attached a listing of that file structure.

for large numbers of VIV archives, I run analytics via Python script.

download: https://github.com/bfut/fcecodec/releases/download/1.11/fcecodec111_scripts.zip

check the  utils/bfut_PyScripts/bfut_VivFceAnalyze subfolder...
gives you all you need to know about VIV archives, FCE files and, if available, FEDATA

According to last screenshot,Bcam and B911 have 12 upgrades???

[bfut]

the upgrade property is a 4-bit value. vanilla bonus cars have 0xC = 12 which was not specifically implemented at screenshot-time. it is not the number of upgrades
