General NFS, High Stakes

It's been known for a few days, but because it's pretty important news for the NFS Editing scene, I thought it best to mention it here as soon as I had the opportunity to: earlier this week, on Monday 21st, Arushan released OIFTool, a program that lets you convert the 3d format that is being used in NFS HP2 (.o files) into .oif files, that are editable via a Zmodeler plugin. This means that conversions from HP2 to NFS4 are now possible (a few of those have already been released), and it also opens the door for importing scratch-made cars into NFS HP2. Who knows what this means for a game that was ignored by a large part of the editing community? :)
You can download the program and read more information on the Official OEdit Site.

...well, I thought it was pretty special news. :p
Seriously, this may make me want to play NFS HP2 again after not touching it for months. Plus HP2 offers a lot more possibilities for realistic performance files than High Stakes.
The editor Viper_GTS has already released the first scratch-made car for NFS HP2, a Honda CRX Del Sol (I haven't tried it out myself)

There's only one real problem. If you want to import a car, it has to replace one that is already in the game. You can't add cars at all.

Yeah that Sound's like a Bummer 62_Impala_SS, i hope they can make a Hack for that some day,that will allow More Scratch maid Add on Car's in Nfs6Hp2. Hope so?. I havent Played the game in Month's also. ? :}

the game was ignored ( by me anyway ) for the lack of real physics, wide open tracks, and a better plot to the game, not explosions from chopper's.

I'm sure this is going to boost the game's moral. If this never happened, the game wouldn't be worth anything to me. I'll do a section devoted to BMW's on my site - yeah man ;)

I hope you add a NFS6 section here soon because I converted my new Mazda 787B (I will release the NFS4 version here soon) to NFS6. I already uploaded to NFS Cars so it is only a matter of time for it to be avalible. :)

First muscle car for NFS6 is already available; a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A by Ground Shaker; I've yet to try it, but the images look promising.
A pity that you have to overwrite existing cars though (and I want a proper replay mode, dang it!)
