Holey Cowboy SOMEONE972.. you are now my hero from the stars.. with your titillating work

that took me 10 minutes to come up with

[someone972]

Pour n'importe quelle lecture française ceci du Driver Dimension, je ferai une version française.

Excusez-moi si ma traduction est incorrecte.

[Nikusakken]

As far I've understand, there'll be a french version someone?

[someone972]

Ouais.

[someone972]

Great news everyone! While developing the GUI I finally solved my palette order problem . Now I can properly display images using the correct palettes as defined in the d3d files!

Right now the March 30th release date stands.

[Driver of DOOM]

Haazar!

[someone972]

I've got a semi-complete program now. It still is missing a bunch of stuff like paletted saving, but it is working.

[bb_42001]

Crazy DUDE!

[Slick]

Thats well gd!!! when can we try it out??

[someone972]

I'll have it released March 30 if all goes well. Just 4 more days.

[Driver of DOOM]

Thats when Amazon say Driver 4 will be out, silly fools!

[Fireboyd78]

Amazon has their heads stuck up their asses. I mean come on, really, if Driver 4 was to be released on March 30, then Driver-4.com would be exploding with news and Ubisoft would be giving us some updates on whats going on, GameSpot & IGN would have had news a month prior, too.

So F*** Amazon

[Nikusakken]

It's not only Amazon who's doing it. Many other sites (specially British ones) claims that they know the release date of the next Driver.

[madness]

I just figured out how to read the first part of data. Expect much quicker progress, but don't expect it to be done soon.

The driver programmers would probably be laughing at me. All this is so simple once I figure it out that I wonder why I didn't before.

Laughing, I think not.
Out of everyone who has the PC release only you have successfully modified the textures within the game. Unless, your a professional who knows so much about this kind of stuff, I guess it's slightly laughable. But it seems you have done an amazing job. I haven't had an opportunity to try your application yet, but I plan to in the future.

Hey just a question, if it does get completed, will it be GUI based or command based?

I can do whatever you guys want. I'll probably go the gui route with basic commands. The most important part of the GUI would be the ability to see what you are editing, and have the ability to import and export the images.

GUI sounds great, there is nothing more frustrating to new modifiers than command line based tools and particularly with textures it's nice to see what your exporting.

Now I'm up-to Page 9

[Fireboyd78]

I want to make some quick notes -


• *.TSD support will not be featured in 0.9B, will be included in a later version

• Palette saving may or may not be included in 0.9B (ex. Civ Cars, buildings, etc.)

[someone972]

Sorry guys, I'm going to have to push the release date back to April 1st (if then) . Something came up on Saterday and I wasn't able to work for most of that day. It will have paletted saving by the way, it just might be difficult for multi-paletted images.

[Nikusakken]

Oh... Well, no problem. I don't care how many time it will take until the full program is released.

[bb_42001]

We love you man

[someone972]

Sorry for the delay, I've been swamped with work. The first release will be by the end of this weekend.

Another delay???? GODDAMMIT!

[someone972]

EDIT: The links have been fixed now. See the new post below.

[Nikusakken]

I see you recreated the modding section in the Driver article in Wikipedia someone.

Nice (and confusing) interface!

[Fireboyd78]

EDIT: He fixed it. YAY!

[someone972]

EDIT: These links are now outdated and will eventually stop working. Instead go to the project's homepage over at SourceForge.

Alright, I've got the first release out (It actually works now), version 0.9b. You can get it here. Make sure to read the readme. Don't expect anything amazing, I've just been trying to get it out.

There is also the (ugly) source available here.

If you have any immeadiate problems I will be intermitently on this IRC chat for a little bit.

Oh, and Nick: you may want to redownload it.

[PostalDude]

Tried replacing the final GSX textures with the beta ones and got this:








To the dickhole @ reflections who left the beta tex's unfinished: GO DIE.

[someone972]

Driv3rownz: It looks like the beta textures aren't in the same spots as the old textures. Move the peices around until they are in the same place as the originals.

[PostalDude]

I can barely draw a friggin' straight line on paint,how do you expect me to move texture pieces around without f***ing it up even more?

[Fireboyd78]

Sorry, you need photoshop. However, I took the time and did it myself -




Try to save it as a 24-bit Bitmap in Paint.


In-game for me -
