Could you please add "Driver Coordinates Ripper"?
I can't download it under the following link: http://www.drivermadness.net/forum/v2/d ... il&df_id=3

The downloads page is messed up really bad. I will just attach it to the post...

I should make an updated one of those. I learned a bunch about the format since I made that. I could even fix the rotation issue.

Well then do it you big dummy! AND GO ON MSN! SHEESH!

So, ho's everything going? anything new? i'm getting worried lol

Don't worry sub, Jeff's working on the vertex limit patch, all is going well, just be patient. He has successfully increased it from 256 to maybe 600, but there are some problems with the vertex buffer, so he needs to figure out a way to make it so there can be more vertices without any types of problems. Oh, and I forgot that he finally fixed the co-ordinates ripper so that rotation is always dead on, I will upload the new version when I have the chance to edit the read-me.

Someone's name is Jeff?
Cool beans.

cool... then i'll wait hehe ^^

Is Jeff's last name Veasey?

I have no idea.

Driver Co-ordinates ripper V2.0A has been uploaded!

I`m just having a question about Driver Texture Editor v2.0

Seems like it doesn`t run on Win7 What I need to fix? The problem returns: Tried to replace ntdll.dll with old dll from Win98 and Win XP, but the problem still remains, as it works like a charm on Windows XP machine. Odd...

The Vertex Patch has been added!

Noticed that milkshape modeler dont import dmodels on XP in the trail version,but using it with windows seven the trailversion DOES import dmodels

Never noticed it. Also I`m using full version of it

Are you still having a problem with the DTE crashing? If you do try posting the debug file here and I'll see if I can fix it.

Well, it`s strange to me. When I`m on my XP machine, it works just perfect. But when I get on the Win7 laptop, it just doesn`t like to run. I remember that the debug file says: [insert error sound here] and freezes

I just don`t know what could be causing that problem on Windows 7. Ntdll.dll file? I tried couple of time to replace it, but hope so

Don`t worry, if that will open more work to fix it, ignore it. I`ll just use my another computer to do modding

Hmm...
About another tools, it would be useful to make tool which would let us to change wheels and lens positions...
Map editor is just dream at the moment, i think

I was thinking also about modifying... hmm... rendering engine? Driver has a ambient light source colour - changing it would give us better look of day or night

And frontend, menu are hackneyed - they could be modified...

No, it isn't wish list, just ideas for future

"About another tools, it would be useful to make tool which would let us to change wheels and lens positions...

I was hoping for that too! It may be possible someday! He already found out how the "random" civ cars are parked, so yeah...

He already beat you to it.

Awesome Can I know how to do it?

Recently I was working with ambient colours in some game's developments, and it given quite nice effects, so I would try with D1 too

yes tell us Dr. Doom !!

I don't know how to do it, someone972 did that. I haven't had contact with him in over a week.

I'm thinking of making an texture mod to begin with, dont know which car yet. (it's time that i make more then basic script files for Half Life 2). Any advice you guys can give? Or any other program needed besides DTE? (Minus GIMP/ Photoshop offcourse)

Nope, just download DTE2 and within any graphic editor made the modification.

i had that problem with driver texture editor:
it sends me that menssage:Debug file initialized
and it close

Sorry to reply so late, I didn't see it since the sticky icon doesn't change when there's a new post. Does the program open the main window briefly before it exits, or does it quit before that?

Archives fixed!
