Some wip projects

I'm not people, but I could imagine that many would generally like to see the revivol of other European, over-seas, or South African series
We once had STW, Belcar, Italian Super Cup... they are still out there, but of course not working with the current version of the mod.

Didn't plan to do it, but suddenly I did it anyway: Silverstone track got some different textures to resemble the 90's a little bit more. Not going to change all sponsors, but a few.

I have started far too many projects now, so looking forward to finish the tracks, release the new UI and send the GTR2 updates. For some reason I love starting these kind of projects, but it always gets too much.
The idea is always to try to enjoy the game after the latest mod is released, but then I start something new instead

That's pretty much the same for me too many ideas, too less time here as well!

Status update:

* Updating super touring track pack. - almost finished now

* Super Touring and BTC-T UI. Almost complete, needs some final touches and podium pages tweaking. - almost finished now

* Also working on a Tinytweak update to GTR2 ai physics to be included in next anniversary patch - Finished

* STCC 2003 (and ETCC 2002)
Project is proceeding nice and slowly. Will add collision feelers. Since there are some shared car models I might make it one combined mod, so I don't have to include many files twice.
Always prefer to only make updates to one file in one place. And that is the reason for the chosen file structure in Super Touring Seasons and BTC-T reloaded. - I have to complete this mod soon, not very much left

* Test track from Toca2. Works in game now, but much left to do.

* Fiesta cup 1998 (Toca 2). Exterior is about 90% done. No interior or physics yet, might have to install Toca2 to check for car specs and setup.

* GT3 Huracan - some exterior details left, then it is time for interior(s) and physics.

* STCC2 tinytweak. Already made, just have to pack it and see that everything is there.

* AL Supercars will get collision feelers.

Not a lot of new things to show, continuing the work on STCC 2003.
I probably have to tweak the default setup to fit the quite small and twisty Swedish tracks.

 

[AndreasFSC]

If I ever run out of things to do, this car would be cool:

If I ever run out of things to do

We'll be in hovercars before that happens.

We'll be in hovercars before that happens.

Probably, and that car has a lot of time consuming small details, so I think I should stay away from it

Yes don't spread yourself to thin mate

The Honda Accord model didn't look so good in the test conversion to GTR2, so I resculpted the front just a little bit and tweaked the normals. Of course the updates are added to the original mod too.

 

[AndreasFSC]

Did some more shape and normals corrections on the super touring cars,
The stcc 2003 / etcc 2002 mod is proceeding slowly.
I would like to finish it soon, but I need more inspiration first.

So I did some just-for-fun modeling and normals tweaking on an old need for speed 4 model.
No plan to use it, just therapy modeling

Newly released:

* Super Touring seasons - fixed some minor shape imperfections

Adding some sponsors and details to the car liveries. Not my favorite thing to do
Soon the liveries will be "good enough".
I have to paint some driver suits also.
Then I need to update physics/setups.
Don't know what to do about car ID's, there are no more left. All are taken by Simbin or by me

Yes we are reaching that stage, some serious pruning is called for.

I'm growing out of this game

My list is probably not complete (your ETCC mod is not included yet) nor does it consider your private mods (obviously), so at least I do have 25 free ID's here
However, I would suggest as a compromise to use ID's of the GT cars or others that don't fall in the same category (usually they are not used together anyway).

It has always been a mystery to me why they changed the original behavior that allowed so much more flexibility - of course they were not expecting to have more than 255 car models or classes, but the platform has ever been modable and at least that could have been considered
Still I'm curious if it could be possible to make the game fallback to the old method (having class and categories again), but have no time to try that

I've reduced my GTR2 to vanilla content and had taken some out of Race 07 but I think I'm going to get rid of the rest and keep it for the official content and Super Touring. I had added the GTL mod but P & G covers that so I should be able to have the id's for Andrea's mods.
I did fancy some of the older TCR content but maybe just stick to the modern version in RaceRoom.
