Driver Madness

Can anyone who has the PC version of the game look out for images from the Monaco police car and the Asym(s), you know, those images that appear in the garage when you select a car. I don't seem to have images from these cars, but maybe the PC version does.

I've been thinking about this for a long time, myself.

Can you check? And if you find them, can you send them maybe?

I would, but what would I use to extract them? Texmod? Or this one tool I forgot the name of that could extract the dngvehicles.sp textures?

I have no idea, I think that's a Windows thing :/

But look: I can replace any car in the garage with another, but when I replace a random car with the Asym or Dodge Monaco, no image appears. I thought this was because they were never meant to be selectable from the garage, so there simply was no images for them. Ironically, when I would try to swap a car with one that isn't featured in the final game, the images would appear:





So I did some research in the files, and it seems like they were meant to be selectable (The Asym and Monaco), but the links to the images don't work, so instead, just a lock appears as if the car was still locked. I can't change the links to the images (it's done automatically) so I thought either the images have been moved / renamed and they didn't bother fixing or replacing this as they made them not drivable anyway, or perhaps they're simply missing on the Mac version. The Asym Desanne taxi is featured on PC for example (I remember someone had posted textures I think), but on the Mac version there's nothing left of that car at all sadly

Oh and BTW: Those cars in the pics above are NOT drivable! It only swaps the images for these. That's all that's left I suppose!

Also, do you have such a folder?

C:\Users\Reflections Interactive\Game Development\Driver San Francisco\Trash\Unused_Features\


Someone posted this on Ubi forums, this is what's in there:

- the trams,
- the stopping traffic at red lights,
- the driving off the streets,
- the real junction design
- the car-mirrors…

I don't have any folders called like that. It would suck if the tram was there but only turned off and I don't have it Because basically they made the tram, but they removed it from traffic for more cars.

Are there trollies in the game?
Sadly, no. We did have them early in development (you can still see the tram lines) but took the decision to remove them and spend the memory on an additional type of car driving around the streets to give that touch more variety in the choice of vehicles you see and can shift into, which I think most players will prefer.

Image we could just turn on the cable cars again? Ok I know I'm dreaming BUT IMAGINE !!!!!!

Edit: And now IMAGINE what kind of variety we would have if the trams were active

LOL, blatant lie. What bullsh**.

Really? Check again maybe it's somewhere else? I mean it would be crazy.

Dude, why in the world would Reflections install an "unused_features" folder? That's gotta be the most retarded claim I've ever heard.

Here's the original thread BTW: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php/25 ... AMS-Forums

I think he meant something else, perhaps he was saying that this "path" is one of Reflections' computers. That would make more sense now

I was first thinking that it's just stuff that was put by side in a folder called "unused features" and finally forgotten to be removed or something. You could ask the same thing about the pics I posted above, why the hell did they leave pics of the Audi A8 and the Bentley Mulsanne? That's got to be the most retarded thing they've ever done

I think you're missing the point of his post. He was mocking Reflections by saying they threw the unused features into the "trash" and wasn't being serious. It was just dry humor.

Translation: "It's where all of the other missing features are [insert list] - in the trash can. Gone forever."

No such car images in PC version either.

Yeah I thought so, I'm not so familiar with Windows paths

Such a shame, imagine the tram was there but just disabled or something.

And sucks about the car images Thanks for checking however.
