RASCAR: Get Ready

Arrangements are being made, but we still need to iron some stuff out. A lot of the new (and tentative) info is posted here: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58001 The biggest deal is that we need to find another server. My advice is to go read *all* the stuff, especially about the roster and sierra ID's.

Interesting, specially the noon (ET), 6 pm (CET) start time. That means that I can hopefully take part a lot more than I have. 10 pm, as the old start time was usually meant social life. Are there any N2003 templates and car viewing programs around so I can paint my car before I get the game sometime in mid/late february ? -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Brian Simpson has posted his NR2K3 templates on the Team Lightspeed web site. http://www.sportplanet.com/team-lightspeed/b_simpson/nr2003 _templates.shtml There is no car viewer yet, but one is being worked on, and the guy writing the app said it may be ready in the next couple of days.

John, You know me, I'm not choosey. I love the black cars. My own 'race' car is black and my uniform is black. A black primary color to me is cool. Of course, no car to date is as cool as Dale Sr. Goodwrench Chevy. Now that was just a great looking car.

Great news. But then I thought of something, is it possible to make the .car-file with the viewer or do I need the game to do that ? -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Given all the effort some have put into their cars and numbering, I don't know that this is a good idea...

Ok, I'm in... Sierra account has been created as: L_Bles_RAS. I will be keeping the #98 Car. Car name will be RAS_98_L_Bles.cup.car For a while the car will either be one I copy over from the game, or a plain car with wood numbers nailed up on the sides. I have no time for painting right now. I wish Papy would have created a car paint converter as it seems to waste everyone's hard painting work just because the game changed slightly :( See you at the track! Larry

You're in Larry. BTW, the car templates are only slightly different. I converted four cars in one day (two of them for both hi-res and standard-res) when the templates first came out. I have to re-do Mitch's car when Brian Simpson re-releases the dodge template with the new nose treatment...

Actually John I don't care that its a Dodge. If it's easier to make a chevy then go for it. "John Simmons" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Is it just a "Stretch & Smooth" deal, or are there major placement problems ? Larry

No, you actually have to transfer the old paintjob a piece at a time. It's much simpler to do if you have the layered PSP/PSD file from the NR2K2 paintjob. Transferring from a tga would be more difficult, but only because you pretty much have to start from scratch, but at least you'd have an example to work from.
