NEW: Known Bugs:
A few known bugs already, sorry guys:
-A few hills on Mount Everest are too tall for cars like the Citreon, and you're pretty much stuck until I pull out the old T3ED.
-The Lotus Elise by XJ220: driver movements are totally messed up, it's my fault... I must have done something while creating damage

@ XJ220: Can you help me with the Elise? I'll PM you the file if you want.

@ everyone who is in the author list: About permissions - see, I have a limited amount of time already and I can't go around emailing everyone for permission using cars that they probably don't even have on their own HD's anymore... at least, yet. If someone would not like their car in this mod, please tell me and I'll sadly remove it (all these cars are great).

Anyway, more about permissions. I always include the original readme file, and as you can see, I give credit to the authors of these mods (I DID NOT CREATE ANY ONE OF THEM MYSELF). I do edit these mods, but I'm not ricing and re-uploading them under my name. i'm doing what the authors of the cars would do themselves if they had the time: adding upgrades, damage, accurate prices, accurate Car Compare graphs, etc.

On the happier note: I'M FINISHED!! 1 AND 1/2 MONTHS OF WORK AND IT'S GONNA PAY OFF FINALLY!!!

Now that I got that out of my system...

Have fun everyone and I'm sorry for 111MB file size And this is an auto-installer which even imports cars/tracks for you. Also there's a shortcut made on desktop that will automatically load cars/ load tracks/ launch NFS.

Enjoy,
-FerrariMan

Hey dude! You should have permission. Else, you will really land in big big trouble. :nono:

[abyss]

I try to get permission from everyone I can in my mod. Exceptions are for cars from people like Pomfrit and Ryuji Kainoh where you can't really get a hold of them. I still haven't gotten a reply from Sniper, Bloom or Memphis. With no permission from Bloom it's not too bad as there is a different Viper I can use but the other two have certain cars like Snipers Bel Air Hotrod with upgrades which makes a great equivilant of the Bomber BFS and Memphis has a great Ferrari 550 with a very good polycount.

[FerrariMan]

I understand your concern for permission, and I've tried emailing many of the authors but haven't got replies, and XJ220 already has accepted the use of his cars a while ago. However, I don't know the e-mails of many of these authors or the e-mails don't work anymore. See, a lot of these cars are extra old and the people who made them might not even HAVE them anymore much less care. But yes, I'll try to get permission.

Known bugs (more, sorry):
No driver in the Porsche 911 Turbo (1978)... Abyss could you help me add one?
Upgrades in Z4 Roaster kinda mess up rear fenders (been that way for a while)
3RD upgrade in the Porsche 911 Turbo '78 has weird headlights...

I'll start emailing around more soon, thanks for your concern

[abyss]

I can do an interior but not the driver.

[Roadstar]

I can do the driver if you want. But I dont have High Stakes to test it out. Also, the car will not appeared centered. So I will also have to download NFS FCE Car Centerer.

[FerrariMan]

Thanks RS
here's the link to the CAR through CAR3 .FCE, and CAR00-300.TGA files for the 930

PS: You don't have HS? You can buy it on Amazon... it's not an expensive game . But oh well, I'll be happy  enough to test it for you, I'm already glad to have someone who can do this B)

Good luck?
PS: anyone can correct driver movements on Lotus Elise? I'll post link... the drivers body swivels around when you turn

[XJ220]

[...]PS: anyone can correct driver movements on Lotus Elise? I'll post link... the drivers body swivels around when you turn

Select the :OD's vertices you don't want to spin, open the FCE custom settings in ZMod and uncheck the checkbox "rotateable". That should do the trick.

Edit: P.S.: What does the modified Pursuit CVPI look like?

[FerrariMan]

@ NJ: Hi XJ220 . Thanks for the help.

1) Lotus Elise: I'm sorry, in ZModeler, my Custom FCE Settings do not work even when I check to "enable" these settings. Unfortunately I must have messed up the driver while creating damage for the Elise, so I had to re-download the original file from NFSCars and do the damage over again . But hey, one more download for you! ... now I just need to fix the roof - I accidentally damaged the NORMAL roof, not the DAMAGED one. So now when you start the race your roof is crushed and when you filp - oops! You're roof's fixed again! lol.

2) Modified Pursuit CVPI: To your standards, quite crappy . I just took the Australian skin and changed the Police lettering, and made the license plate background white instead of yellow - not great, but looks like a standard police scheme. I should have based it off of the UK.TGA though now that I think about it, because that has more texture space :squint:.

Thanks! I'm learning to work with ZModeler more now and I like it a lot . Do you use ZModeler v1.07b? That's what I use now .

@ all: Thank you so much for the comments, guys! Enjoy

P.S.: If you have a slow-ish Internet, it'd be smarter if you didn't download this now and waited for Update 1  which will fix various small bugs/glitches.

[Roadstar]

You didnt gave the download link

Also, i m not good at making driver movements. But I can try .

[XJ220]

@ FerrariMan: LOL @ the roof. That's easy to fix, though. Load the FCE file in ZMod - be sure to click yes when prompted whether damaged parts should be loaded or not. You'll find a part named :OT[D] and one named :OT. Swap their names and you're set
As for the CVPI, all the skins have the very same texture-space, HS doesn't allow different mapping or even models for different countries so it does basically not matter which texture you base your new skin off. But I'd have expected you to have done a classic b/w scheme. In that case, the GERM.TGA would have been an excellent base.

[FerrariMan]

Yes, my point was that I do not know how to properly remap textures, so I had to use the police-scheme space I had. For AUS.TGA, the POLICE logos on the side are kind of small. I meant to say: UK.TGA will have more texture space mapped on the side of the car, or something.

EDIT: Oh, yes thanks for the help with the Lotus Elise, I'll do that

P.S.: LOL @ 101 posts

[FerrariMan]

Note to everyone: The Update 1 has been released!
Now, you're free to download it! Just the minor bugfixes (Lotus Elise, colors on GT3, etc.)...

Before, I said it would be rather a waste to download when the update is coming out in a few days, well, I was true to my word.

So go ahead and download it now!
