Great to see the response so far with the template. It's one and only the basics I know, but I hope you all understand the work load that we went under for months to get to this point. Making a mod is more about just putting one simple model in the game, its the skinning, the damage models, the LOD's, the cockpits, the templates and everything else. I wanted to post this template today to show everyone just how serious we are about finishing this project ever since it started so long ago. We've surrounded ourselves with the finest in the community and we hope to be presenting you guys with a new mod for n2k3 soon! We appreciate your patience, and hopefully without anymore snags, it shouldn't be too much longer! 8-)

Thanks in advance

i believe its a file compression, winrar should open it.

.7z's are better compressed files than .rar's or .zip files. WinRAR should still be able to open 'em.

Dan is correct there. They are better compressed, and the program will open .zip and .rar files.

Just re-posting what I posted at Simodifed.com regarding the non-technical questions....
Regarding the .7z files, I believe WinRAR 6.0 and newer should open those. The reason I compress my files in .7z format is due to the added compression; which in English means a smaller file everyone has to download (and less bandwidth my site sucks up- ALWAYS a good thing!) The .rar version I tried was a 6 MB file, compared to the 4 MB file that we put up.
I'll announce right now that there won't be a carset for this first Beta. Our painting team is waiting for the other 3 makes to be imported into the game before any carset project is started. We're doing this because we want all of our efforts going into the final version to make it the best it can possibly be. I'm sure none of you will regret this decision.
Regarding paint, I do plan on eventually getting a carviewer file out soon. I didn't release an initial one with the template because I wanted to make sure I had the model just right in the game. It would have been a pain having to re-create a new .x file with every change that we had to make. But it will be out soon. Max scenes will be released as well, but not until a much later date.
I hope this clears up any initial questions regarding the mod itself. I'll try and answer any non-technical related questions the best that I can if you guys have anymore! Hope you enjoy the mod!

The beta scene for the Troyer has been released. I have included a scanline and Brazil version, and you will need 3D Studio Max 8 or newer to open the file. For those using older versions of max, a .3ds file has been included to import into your 3D program for use.
Please read the Readme that comes with the file! There is some very important information in there!
Special thanks to Mike Dewitt for use of his black & chrome rim textures, and DRT_Mike for his nerf bars.

simod has pretty nice official league conting sets. And we have an decent set over at www.outlawpaintshop.com (http://www.outlawpaintshop.com)
careful though, we've got 2 sets. 1 unarranged nice decal set, and my arranged half assed set. Make sure you get the 2048 modified conting made by sofa747. They're pretty nice stuff. he included 99% of whats on the official whelen decal layout that I used for referance when I made my own personal set.

Working on that. Having a tough time importing the mesh into ZMod though
And you guys can e-mail scenes- I don't care about that. Because its a beta, I just don't want 10,000 of these scenes out on a different site, because they will change.

At the moment, I don't want to get ahead of everything and put a date on it- but I can say that all of the modeling is done and we're down to putting it in the game. Our guy who's in charge of that had to take some time off of the project for personal reasons, but should be picking back up with everything when he's ready to go again.

I personally don't want to get into anything with iRacing. We will release the mod with the physics the current beta uses, and if anyone else wants to chance things with iRacing, we'll let them do it. Not us.

New physics can be made. But they won't be. Because it's a big "no no" A few years back there were all kinds of physics made for NR2003. But then people started getting into legal trouble over it. Nowadays All the decent mod makers are playing by the rules. No new Physics.

That's what I would like to know. If there isn't a huge FPS drop (from the Cup mod for example) then I would literally run it 24/7.
King D.A.
08-29-2007, 01:26 AM
the fps drop will be between 10-15fps (compared to PWF Cup Mod), depends on your system. So you should first turn off "on car shadows" and reflections. these tweaks brings you these missing 10-15fps.
Nextelracer
08-29-2007, 01:50 AM
what about shadows on the ground?
King D.A.
08-29-2007, 04:36 AM
Shadows on ground have not much influence on the fps, maybe 1fps but not much more.

Without jumping the gun too much, we're looking at getting together a program to do an rFactor version with proper physics. And it wouldn't be a half- :moon: deal if it happens. However, we still have this project to finish before we jump to that one.

That's great Dan ! I for 1 (and I know a TON more) want the mod for 2003 even with "the same 4 physics" .
An RFactor mod would be WAY cool . The models could look incredible , and have different physics for the cars . Would be cool . I'll keep an eye on it . :tup:

Actually, I consulted with Whelen Modified driver Donny Lia and he told me the power to weight ratio of the busch cars were the closest physics set to the modifieds.
So, I'd trust him over anyone else who thinks it should be any different.
Donny is an accomplished sim racer who has been around since the TEN days.

If you don't understand the appeal of having Whelen modifieds in NR2003, regardless of the physics used (or the legal issues) then obviously, you just don't get it. Although many sim racers are aware of an option when it comes to physics (which we don't discuss or advocate at Simodified). But everyone that has put so much time and effort into creating this mod share a passion for this type of racing with all Whelen Modified fans. That's who this mod is for and that's who will appreciate what we've done...hopefully.
I recently received a letter from Kenny Minter Jr. (who's father was tragically killed in a racing accident) expressing his heartfelt appreciation for being able to drive a replica of his father's modified race car in a video game. That one letter in itself has made this whole project worth it.
Here's a quick, low quality preview by a noobie with a puney video card. http://www.vimeo.com/293138

To the normal race fan its just another mod to the collection but to us Modified fans this mod means the world to us. It doesnt matter what physics are used. This is for the guys that grew up at places like Wall Stadium and Thompson Speedway and The "Pahk" and Bowman Gray Stadium. I know personally I have wanted a Modified game ever since I was kid when I bought Nascar 1 and now that I actually will have it is priceless!
If youve never witnessed Modified racing then you dont know what real racing is!
Thank you for doing this :D everybody at simodified a big thanks :tup: being from Maine i love the modified's alot of hard work as gone into this mod. And the cars and cockpit look perfect from that preview this will be huge for me can't wait :roxs:

Yes an open-wheeled Modified "mod" is something people have been clamoring for a long time and for a number of different games. But all we've even received in the past is promises and/or screenshots with nothing to download or we get what Infogrames or EA Sports has tried to pass off to us in console games with no real drivers or tracks. Now Tuck, Dan, and the SiModified crew are doing something that has never been done before as they are delivering a real Modified body and a full real carset to go with it. THANK YOU!

Thank you Tuck, Dan, and all the SimModified crew for doing this mod, the beta was great! Although low on frames, It was a good substitute for the final version which I know will NOT disappoint! Cant wait for this.

Looks like it's a tad too late to make a suggestion, but why not try pta physics? That's what the OWR mod used. The modifieds are lightweight and fast, so it would make sense.

The six gears thing is strange though. And They've had real drivers try all the physics and they (for the most part) agree that, GNS + more grip = most realistic ride posssible in NR2003

Check the Real Racing forum, someone just posted that info a day or so ago.

Took the mod for a spin around Stafford last night - loved it!
Not to be an ingrate or anything, but when are the rest of the templates coming out? I'd really like to paint up a Mustang mod... :tup:

The templates will come out when Tuck is done putting finishing touches on them. He and Charli were at Martinsville last night, taking shots to make sure that the templates look as accurate as possible.
