Zpectre's projects thread

[monkey.wesley]

Dude, don't you pay attention, Hes been Converting MW cars for ages!

sry lol... not my fault i don't download many addon cars. i hardly even look at the author actually. but its good to have people like zpectre to convert cars for mw... they look good ^^

Forgive me, almighty lord of the BMWs, for I have sinned...



It's nearly done. Also, you'll enjoy driving this car - it's heavy and soft, like the real thing. The short gearing of the 7-speed transmission (which is a 6-speed in NFS4 since I haven't figured out how to make 7 gears work without problems) ensures surprisingly fast acceleration off the line, although top speed is on the lower side.

will this car be available for NFS3?  If I have asked before, please bear with me...I was at my dad's retirement party tonight and I'm half in the bag.

Ahhhhh! When's the XKR and CLK coming out for HP2?

patience man... There's only so much a person can do at a time, even someone as god-like as Zpectre... :p

I'm not godlike (LOL :p), but you're right about the time. If I could work 24/7 on these you'd be seeing 2 releases a day.

Furthermore, I trusted HSVrules the task of converting the cars to NFS6, and NFS3 converting can be done by everyone, it's just a matter of renaming dummies and flipping the texture.

When will XK be released for NFS4?

Once I decide which sound fits it better. I don't have Carbon for reasons already mentioned, and no MW sound reminds me of the Jaguar sound in Carbon...

I may end up using the XK8 sound from NFS3 if I don't come up with anything...

[Lotec]

I have carbon, i could send you sounds for the XK and all your future carbon projects.  I dont which files they are though

I don't extract them directly from the files, I keep the car at a steady RPM range then record a video with Fraps. I then open the video file in GoldWave and save it as a sound file.

If you have an analog controller you can leave the car at neutral then slowly tilt the stick until you reach the desired RPM range and keep the car at it while you record the video. It's easier said than done, though, especially if you have a shaky hand... but that was how I recorded the NFS5 and the GTR sounds (in MW and NFSU2 I use other, more inventive techniques ).

Hahahha. It's the damn high quality of the cars... I think I won't download them. I'd probably get scolded by my mum.

[Zpectre]

Remember this?







Don't be fooled by the pics. This is a completely new car. I've used the "b" LOD of the MW mesh this time, which allowed me to save nearly 4,000 polies compared to the old versions. Normals are infinitely better, as are the wheels. The rear brakelights use new dummies and the sound has been slightly modified (it has a higher pitch).

I'm thinking about making the Lancer my next car just to compete with it... We need more 4WD cars in NFS4.

BTW, the tracks are Norwegen 1.0, Dolphin Valley and Raceway 2006; this last one didn't have a night file when I downloaded it so I made my own.

Did you retexture the STi Zpectre? It looks more detailed now than it did before.

I'm using MW textures this time, but I took the liberty of fixing a few minor things like the lettering of the "Subaru Tecnica International" signs since the resizing process made the original texture nearly unreadable.

Very nice. Will you use MW textures on future conversion updates?
