NSGP F1 - THE FORUM FAN-TASY MOD

DOWNLOAD LINK AT BOTTOM OF PAGE

- V1.0 Contains all files and installation instructions (see README)
- Auto-installer not present, due to technical problems.

So, this is it, the countdown to release! First of all I have a confession to make, when I set out to do this mod I had no idea it would be so time-consuming and so damn difficult; had I known, I probably wouldn't have started. However, now I'm looking at the finished product I'm glad I did, I'm jolly proud of what I've managed to do with this, and I'm sure you guys will have as much fun playing it as I will.

First of all a few thanks; appologies if I missed anyone here, believe me your contributions have not been forgotten, but if I were to thank each of you individually It would take a good week or so!
First of all, Si Read; if this comparitively little project has reduced me to ridiculous states of frustration then it's a sign of how much effort is needed to program an entire game! Bazik, for helping me develop my pixel-art skills and providing me with some excelent resources. Paranhos for extensive help on tracks, bugs and the installer!

Don't despair, this isn't the last of the NSGP related releases, there will be more tracks, more teams and season updates.

So i'll see you for those, happy driving!

Rob.

ah yes, the installation wizard; it all went a bit wrong, so for this issue, I havn't included it, you just install it manually as set out in the readme.txt file:

OR AS IN EARLY ISSUES IF THE INSTALLER IS NOT PRESENT.

Sorry buddy, but glad you like it! Check out round 13 as well!

SUGGESTION: new backrounds, you can now do it on the backrounds folder, check my v1.1 of my 2009 mod if you need

[bazik]

Also.. you messed up the DOBs, all drivers have very weird DOBs now

i told you what to put on mine, if you need some help with the DOB let me know...

hmm, that's quite a good idea, you mean as in main menu backgrounds? I'm not very good with photoshop stuff though...

And yes, the DOB's are messed up, most of the drivers don't have them as thet were not submitted, so it defaults to something. Stig doesn't have one, because were still are'nt sure if he was born at all!

maybe i can help, but you can "nick" some great images of the internets

btw... the pictures of the tracks are not working, the only reason i think its the wrong dpi... its 72 on the original, its 71 on yours :S but it shouldn't matter, i'' look into that

Yes, but it's much funnier if we pretend we don't know!

[bazik]

Have you been "cleaning" the turns tiles? it seem that the apex of the turns doesn't have the friction it used to be...
