WoW ! You`re so cool, SOAP! It`s look like that advanced modifying tools are possible. Well, the this is the first ever modification on driver`s car body. Well Done, Sir!

[someone972]

Good job deciphering my code, it can be pretty bad in some spots . Especially the model loader, that was almost a direct port from the asm in the disassembled exe. I should get in touch with you sometime over pm or something, I got some stuff I can tell you .

Good to see Modifications with the PC Driver, to bad there can be nothing done with the Driver 2 files (Yet) .

I would love to see SOAP on the Driver Modding Team.

First need to do something with the PSX version of Driver 1. The PSX version's formats is simplified (due PSX RAM size, 2 MB maximum)
The Driver 1 PSX LEV files is most recent, and modified loader may be used with D2 LEV files (Because Driver 1 PC - Is a fork of PSX alpha version's code)

The actual beta (PSX alpha?) car found in NC_01, and unused in other levels

Gotta search for the beta yellow buick GSX model! SOAP, you rock, dude!

Holy F**K ....Awesome.

Now that i think of it .
Hey SOAP, there is a hidden File on the D2 Disc called MISC. Can you do something with it ?

[Fireboyd78]

I never knew there was a picture of the beta car being driven...nice!

And a hidden file called MISC? I never knew that...

That is the PS1 skylark body, you can see it in the training level on the PS1 cuz of the flat back. The final verson has a rounded back, looks like a simple vertex edit.

Yes, it's an old skylark that can be seen on veeery early screenshots of PSX version. It's a first and default car in alpha/beta versions. The 3-rd generation of this model was a Buick GSX (yellow-black), and 4-st was final version of PSX game

Final version of PC is ugly.

Some comparsion?

[Highster11]

Some comparsion?

Well, at first they look very similar, but:
- at first the rear window is horizontally rotated;
- the PSX model is slightly different and more bright;
- the shadow is different;
- the sky is different and there aren`t the beta cops chasing you ;
...and are you sure that this is the correct location? The right building looks similar as well, but...

[Lost Account #3408]

Thats the exact location.

[Fireboyd78]

Holy sh*t, it IS possible! And all you did was write a 10KB program! NICE!





I was finally able to see my custom made BetaBuickMK2 in action! THANKS SOAP!

I didn't saw and forgot, sorry.

I have no file with name MISC in D2 Disc 2 (or I not found it?). In what folder?

Just in the Driver 2 Folder, but it is hidden, and i don't know what kinda program you'll need, but it is there.
