Description

Hello, my name is Michael, in Nfscars.net "Watzel".
Thank you for the "Modern Patch" to play NFS High Stakes on Windows 10. Now i want to create an High Stakes 2021 Mod. Replace all the cars and tracks. Better textures, all car upgrades, new car sounds, real handling, damage, full career playable and more surprises. I want to use some of the best cars and tracks allready exist and some of my own cars and tracks. I hope i get all permissions. If someone has ideas or suggestions please write to me.

good luck on it

noise5 years ago

Watzel(m) ??, I see some nice cars in the screenshots, looks great.

Some other people allready made replacements for the EA HS cars, with great result. ....and what sort of surprise do you have in mind?

Michael H.5 years ago

Yes, its me :) Now im 39 years old, but me and my Friends are still NFSHS fans. I hope there are other NFSHS fans out there.

One of the surprises are other bonus cars.

Geminiyo5 years ago

Oh,... nice !I might help with any directional order. Not everything I can perform well. But I might try.

peter9185 years ago

is possible it?

Paul Spain5 years ago

Veg has prooved ANYTHING is possible if you have the know how.

I have some ideas for this 2021 mod, NFS HighgStakes lacks alot of tracks, If possible maybe convert Test Drive 5's Moscow (I have made several Russkie cop cars) and maybe do some locales not seen before in a NFS game like Bulgaria or China, NFSFan83 has done HongKong already and it looked great. The problem I tend to see is people tend to leave out many great locales and vehicles..Your mod looks promising. What Pursuit vehicles have you made?

Michael H.5 years ago

My destination is to just polish up HS in the original. I only want minimal deviations from the original.

I don't have any police vehicles yet.

If someone can build very good dashboards for all cars or if they already have existing dashboards available, I would be happy

EvoX5 years ago(edited)

Wow it's yaaaa! So surprising! Heyaaa, I saw your Elise on nfscars! I love the Elise in all games! Why don't you upload it in here) I saw AJ's name on it too. So who exactly created the Elise?) We had some holidays in my crazy country and I got a chance to play HS a little bit!) Go ahead with your project! I will try to give ideas if I have them.

Michael H.5 years ago

Maybe if i finishede the mod. But in the moment i have no time. Hey, its easy to replace the driver. Try it :)

EvoX5 years ago

Im so crappy in that I admit. Ok will try

noise5 years ago

Did you make or modify the track too?, they look great.

Michael H.5 years ago

Coole Seite

Paul Spain5 years ago

Danke.

noise5 years ago

Any progress?

Michael H.5 years ago

Yes. Right now I'm creating a clk gtr

WiLL5 years ago

Hi there MH ) wanted say thanks for using my track: in your HS fixup Mod.

Scottland Castle Ruins V-2

I worked really hard on back then, an fixed some bugs to like a moving tree :P

I wish you Success! On your Mod MH. I go my Job now soon ?...? ?️?️

AJ_Lethal5 years ago

Never seen that Atlantica edit. Is it yours?

RemkoAdmin5 years ago

I sent you a Private Message... (but I forgot to write a title )

pete95164 years ago(edited)

Why is this permission crap such a thing, why won't you just give proper credits and keep the original readme's in their respective folders? Do you really think Martin Leps is caring about his old models he's done for High Stakes more than 20 years ago? I recently played with him and Ronny nfs4 online, he hates this game now, i couldn't believe it, but he just tried to make this game look silly and ridiculous and his readmes are 20 years old so i think that he doesn't care nowadays if you use his cars in your mod, i even think most modders would feel honored from you because you use their mods for your HD mod

noise5 years ago

Nice CLK,.....So far it's a very european mod.

Michael H.5 years ago

Thanks. Yes, since I am from Germany, it is my signature that all cars have German license plates.

noise5 years ago

Oh, those credits will be hard to get, I believe Leps stopped working for nfs4 in 2005.

Mecha (F-body faction) still has running projects here on addons).

Michael H.5 years ago

I know. Mecha is still active? Do you have a current email address.

noise5 years ago

Try PM, never seen a Email adress of him.

nfsfan835 years ago(edited)

Michael, feel free to use my USA City tracks.

noise5 years ago

Great to see progress again. On the F50 screenshots you can see how the modernpatch gives this streched view (wide screen) which I don't like.

Michael H.5 years ago

Yes still in progress :). Currently I'm a one man show, so I think the mod won't be ready until 2022.

Well, better a stretched view than no NFSHS at all.

dandresden5 years ago

After NJ(XJ220) or Freak-DS didn't seen in post/comment ....

Here comes, Watzelm! :))

I'm looking forward for the project.

Michael H.5 years ago

Maybe I have to rename the mod to NFSHS 2022

Skyline Hunter5 years ago

WOOAHHH! WHAT THE!! THIS IS INCREADABLE!

This is a lot changed, (well, not so much changed as much as amped up) my only question is, how are you making the original HS engine handle all this?

Also will this still be modifiable? ( be able to add other mods to it,) if it will be, I'd say definitely do it as stock as possible. ?

Michael H.5 years ago

This is possible thanks to the modern patch. Despite the lifting of the poly limit, I try to keep the polys of the cars as low as possible.

Paul Spain5 years ago

I have gone up to 13064 polys on a copcar once, Even used it as traffic thanks to Veg Patch.

Michael H.5 years ago

I keep the polycount around 8000, but never more than 10000. Despite the modern patch and very good hardware, the game does not run smoothly with too many polys.

A5 years ago

Im really happy to see that the NFS HS community isnt dead, good luck with your mod

noise5 years ago

Great M5 dash.

Never heard if a polyheavy dash can cause gamecrash b.t.w.

Michael H.5 years ago

Thanks, i do my best.

AndreiK5 years ago

a small question, will the EA add-on cars be added to this mod as well like the 360 Modena, Aston Martin DB7 those ones ?

Michael H.5 years ago

Yes.

AndreiK5 years ago

WiLL5 years ago

So it's not done yet..? Just joking ok ???

Michael H.5 years ago

There are still some unfinished tracks

Michael H.5 years ago

Can someone give me the email address of Zpectre?

noise5 years ago

Go to his profile , the little envelop next to the little globe is Email, or send Personal Message.

Michael H.5 years ago

Thanks

EvoX4 years ago

Are you still on it buddy? Any updates?

Herms4 years ago

I'm very excited for this project. I'm a big fan of your other addons. I hope all is going well.
