You may have heard about the GT-mod, a supercars mod for NFS4, that has been in the works for more than 2 years now. This is a full mod that will replace all cars with scratch-made supercars by some of the most renowed editors in the NFS community, new tracks, new menu graphics, etc.
This week, it was announced that the Demo version of this mod will be released on Friday, January 17. It will feature the Lamborghini Murci?lago and the Dauer Bugatti EB110 Evolution, and the track Alpine Rally by Fangio, all made exclusively for the GT mod. The Demo will be a standalone game (meaning it will not affect your regular game if you have NFS4 installed), and will be around 19 MB in size.
The demo is said to be released in a couple of hours. To get the Demo, and read and see more of the GT Mod, including many preview screens of the featured cars, please check:

THAT MOD DOESNT RUN UNDER WIN XP/2000. so it haves lots of work to put it workin under those windows versions.

Just finished playin it. It's pretty sweet. Can't wait until the full version comes out. It will work in XP, I think, but you just have to the compatablitity thing for the program.

took around a min or 2 to dl but as i thought i remembered that that nfshs demo wouldnt run on my comp but the full game dose so i yanked the 2 cars and 1 track a over wrote what was in the full game and it works so for any one with the xp problem pull the data folder that gtmod installs and drop in into your full game data folder should run fine

Got it in about an hour and installed it, but it starts to load and then quits and an error message comes up. Wonder what my problem is? I have windows 98 so it should work.
RemkoAdmin24 years ago
It works under XP: just use Win98 compatibility on the GTmod_demo.exe file.
Tip: If the installation seems to 'hang' (no response), press control+alt+delete and go to 'Processes'. Now search for data*.* (there should only be 1 name containing 'data') and End this process.
The setup will close without destroying the made data, and installation ends successfully.

BTW, I too, got an error while starting the demo, even after running 3Dsetup. I solved this by installing the SPoT-patch from Link
This installs a d3da.dll from PU or MCO, that will increase NFS4 performance with Nvidia & ATi cards. I have it installed on my full NFS4 game, and it helped me run the GTmod demo too. ;)

it didnt work on GT mod. but it worked in NFS4 (SPoT-patch)

and i have Windows XP Corporate edition.
RemkoAdmin24 years ago
Hm, I can't really explain that... are you sure you installed the patch according to the instructions? (corrrect folder, run regedit, run 3 device setup...)
I can'think of anything else but to try and re-install the whole thing again.

Ground Shaker tm24 years ago
its just that they used NFS4 Demo's exe at base of GT mods exe. thats why it doesnt run under XP.
even normal nfs4 demo doesnt work in XP.


but. GT Mods final version baseds NFS4 full versions exe. so it will run under XP/2000.
RemkoAdmin24 years ago
Well, all I can say is that I have XP too, and I CAN run the GT Demo fine... so I have no idea, sorry.

SOTD is in good memory for Zofran - It's sad that we lost him, and what his family went through - that hurts when you lose a member of the NFS Community. :(

RemkoAdmin24 years ago
I expect the Australian NFS4 fans would certainly appreciate a HSV GTO...

ARTNFS: you new Menu and Vidwall pack has been added to the 'Files' section.
BMWsport24 years ago
I would definitely love to see a Holden HSV that races in the Australian Touring Car Championship - those cars kick all kinds of ass.
