Live For Speed Hot Pursuit Mod

[-YR-BDINGU]

Hello everybody, I would like to announce the start of development on a mod called LFS Hot Pursuit ( yes it is bassically a nock off of NFS HP, but. its going to be much better) A mod putting Police Officers against Cuvilians and Suspects on freshly textured levels and vehicles.
But, we need help.

We Need

1.Coders
2.Modelers
3.Texture artists
4.Audio editors

Please anyone who can do any of these 4 we would really apreciate your help!

If we do not get any of those 4, the only changes will probably be textures, because i am a texture artist.

[Hyperactive]

The only thing you can do is change the skins and code some kind of an insim app. But you can't really change that much...And modeling and sound editing...:x

I can already hear tristan typing positive things about NFS - LFS relations :)

[joeynuggetz]

Gotta be a joke. All you need is to clone Scawen and you'll be all set.

[Gunn]

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Truth.

[XCNuse]

lol what do you plan on 'trying' to edit? ..besides textures...

[Takumi_Project.d]

lol what do you plan on 'trying' to edit? ..besides textures...

that is a good question :scratchch :scratchch :scratchch

[Vendetta]

I cant hold this in much longer.......




HAHAHAHAH :D

[kwijibo]

Poor guy.. he just had a dream is all :)

would be good if it was possible

[axus]

Classic... wow. :pillepall :Looking_a :scratchch

[sgt.flippy]

I can already hear tristan typing positive things about NFS - LFS relations :)

I'm gonna beat him to it! Wouldn't it be great to have the physics of LFS, with the sensation of police chases and real exotics, it would be a blast!!

Thing I've always dreamed of: LFS physics in GTA... driving a car with a real feel to it, in a nicely layed out city... aaaaah:trampolin

[MonkOnHotTinRoof]

LFS MMORPG !! Free-way driving with LFS Physics on real world roads (at least you don't need license for those :D).

Ahhh, good old Test Drive 3 - waiting for train to pass by, running over chicken on road, driving into stable of stupid looking cows, heavy snowing, police cars chasing you when you pass signs with 40 mph...

Well, as long LFS stays on racing tracks, police chases would look kind of stupid tbh. :shy:

[Evoluti0n_II]

:lfs: is a RACING Simulator, not a driveinacityandandbeacoporsomethinglikethat Sim... :thumb:

So basically, you are looking for people to do it for you :D

Well, don't count on me, sorry. Apart from using the InSim/OutSim
data, i don't see how that is possible right now anyways.

Good luck!

[-YR-BDINGU]

Thanks for the replys, i guess. The reason i need coders is for the flashing lights really, i need sound artists for... sound, modelers for light bars (witch we dont need), i can code for myself if i need 2, it will just take 2 years because i dont know where the code is ( comon im 14 years old here). And thats about it. :schwitz:

[AndroidXP]

Haha, yea ok. :rolleyes:

[sgt.flippy]

Let me try to explain it plain and simple here... it.. is.. not.. possible
Especially not the lightbars you're talking about, you can't add models to LFS, you can't even change them. You know what game you need? Racer, make your own model for it, make your city, wait for online to be setup (or new AI) and you're off for a good start.

How come I'm starting to sound like a racer fanatic/advertiser while I haven't played it for over a year... And frankly I don't even miss it that much, too much hassle for controls and settings :D I'm a lazy guy :shy:

[XCNuse]

because you've heard all of us say it about 500 times already lol

[-YR-BDINGU]

ok, so modeling isnt possible, how about making head lights brake lights and indecator lights flash in a emergency vehicle pattern?

[XCNuse]

thats a texture; yes, but they will ONLY work if the turning signals and headlights and stuff are where they are ingame, just remove the texture/make it white to see which areas are for the headlight and which are for the turning signals

[Evoluti0n_II]

you just have to edit the .dds files.

[-YR-BDINGU]

i mean the coding so it flashs diffrently. :shrug:

[AndroidXP]

Nope, isn't possible.

The only thing you can change in LFS are textures and sounds (to some extent). This game isn't yet open for modding, and it probably won't be open for the next few years.

You could try rFactor, though, if you aren't bothered by ISI physics. This sim would be ideal for your modding needs (it was bulit for modding, or so they say).

[VorTeX3k]

I think this is the typical point. In his posting with "we" he means himself ;)

He just had an "great" idea but cannot find anybody who realises his idea. So he's just searching someone who does his job under his leadership and to improve the chances of finding such an idiot he's writing it, that we should think he already has a "mod-team", a "we".... lol

for the german speaking people here: there's also such guy who thinks he'll find some idiot that does all his work and he can get the credits:

I do have a mod team, but..... its only 3 people.

[Sternendaal]

You can't mod LFS now,and I hope you can't mod LFS ever. It should stay as the developers creating it.

For the rest: LOL! This seriously made me laugh. Or cry.

Do you try anytime to program anything on a computer ? only a little stupid visual basic calculator ? ... i am sure that you don't have at least the minimal idea that how a computers works.

I don't know WHY a lot of people thinks that develop software is like play with the lego.. ¬¬' . for this short mind a description is like a Rubrick cube but no 3x3 , a 9x9 size Rubrick cube.

to do this at this stage you need to do a lot of Reverse Enginering(sorry if i type this incorrectly), and is a verya heavy work to do, second if you arrive to do , and you can make a car builder for lfs (only valid until next patch), i sure you will be banned from Lfs community, at least by the developers.

sorry i am too acid... but from mi view of computer student and love of programming i am too tired of people that things are easy.

and to start a project o search some people to join with you first show any that can they believe in you, and don't think you are a crazy guy with crazy nfs ideas ..

nfs is for boys , and lfs is for mens , and NO , I DON'T WANT TO SEE MERGE OF TWO.

[dEiCidE]

Forget LFS, just not possible.

Look for rFactor, is much more modable.

[trackah123]

i think its possible.. if you are a superduperultramegahackcrackingdebuggingdecrypting disassemblingcompiling coder :D:pillepall

[Becky Rose]

If you are a good texture artists there is no reason why your game could not be made, just maybe not in the way you think it will (as an LFS mod). There are programmers and modellers amongst this board - some of them veterans of the independant games development circuit, i'm one of them.

With all indi's though you'll have to wait your turn before your own project comes to fruition - serving your apprenticeship on other peoples projects and all that. It's all down to the team you join, and how much talent you have.

[Phill]

god dammit, is this guy totally illeterate? :scratchch

ITS NOT POSSIBLE!... man.. its his 3rd post asking the same question..

[Stevo11811]

seriously this pissed me off enough to post, this guy has a good idea, you guys could tell him its gonna be hard, but theres like 50 posts of you assholes bashing his post, seriously your laughing at this guy?, you guys are the ones that make it just that much harder for any modder..... if your gonna bash a post, just dont even ****ing post

[sgt.flippy]

I don't think you get it mate. They are bashing him, because he still thinks it's possible, while it just isn't. At the start they said him it wasn't possible, he keeps holding up he can do it, so why is it so weird people bash him eventually?

It's just not possible to do coding for this game, or modeling. He can do the texturing bit, and for a certain extent, he can mod the sound. But that's it! And these two things have been done before, so there will be no mod for this. Just download the cop skins, and the police sirens, and you're done with it, end of story.

[Stevo11811]

They were bashing him from the first post.. lol

seriously, thats why i dont even bother posting on these forums, if you ask one question, it always ends up like this, look at almost every post..

[sgt.flippy]

As far as I'm concerned, when you begin modding a game, you first check if it's possible, by seeing if any other mods are already been made, or there is a hint that it's possible. But you'll more likely find more threads about the source not being open, so not moddable. If you don't take time to look at other peoples work, or questions, you probably don't put real effort in the mod either. If you're really interested in modding a game, you don't go on a forum saying: I need people to do this, and that, I don't wonder if it's possible or not, I'm gonna start it anyways.

And for people bashing everyone around here for asking questions, it really depends on the question. Look at GTA forums, when someone comes in and says: I'm gonna make a mod, and I need people to do the modeling, the texturing, the coding. You'll be flamed and burned down instantly. Another example, almost every person that I have seen on the racer forum talking about creating a big city/mod for racer, gets told it will not work. I do have to admit, at this moment, there is a great joint venture project going on for a city that looks like it's coming together pretty nicely. But in racer it's possible, not in LFS :D

[blaze-WrX]

i can hear Tristans Fingers pounding the Keys...

[Hankstar]

No, that's him grinding his teeth :D

[Phill]

intresting keyboard/fingers he has then... :smileypul :tilt: *:pillepall me*

[Theafro]

I just laughed so hard i shit myself.:D

Funniest post of the year so far.

[Batterypark]

It really pisses me off though that all games with cars in them don't use the LFS physics engine and controls. Games like the 18 Wheels of Steel series and the GTA series would be so much better :)

Just how cool it would be to drive a 18-wheeler on a highway with the LFS physics model :D

[sgt.flippy]

Don't know if LFS supports 18 wheels and a trailer. But I have thought about GTA a lot of times with LFS physics!

I just wished these kind of games on playstation worked with my dfp, I would love to drive around New York in driver with my wheel. But there is no way to make it work, unless there exists a usb to playstation converter :shrug:

[Hatemaker]

I know that the Playstation2™ has USB ports on it already. Look under the controller ports at that blue-colored area. But, if you're talking about Driver™ for the origional Playstation™, then I guess my post is pretty pointless. As for this city mod. I think it'd definately be fun to have these physics in a game like that, but at the same time, as everyone has already stated, LFS cannot be modded that way.

[nath2004uk]

Its his dream i think its an ace idea but he not asking for people to do it for him.. he is asking for people to help HIM do it.:shrug:

[MAGGOT]

Dont bump old topics please, unless you have something important to add to the conversation.

I'll make the thread a tad more usefull than. I know my playstation has USB ports, but the game driver (3 or parallell lines) doesn't support the DFP, so that's why it doesn't work.

Okay, it is a useless thread, could somebody please lead it to the door?

Let's play house, you'll be the door and I'll shut ya

[nath2004uk]

how am i "bumping" im not doing anything... ok everyone else is bumping

Not entirely sure about the Soapy Frog thing, that may be illegal in some areas of Canada if you are under 16.

Ah, so true...

[Tweaker]

Bumping is for a good cause.

To support this project, I'll add one more nominee:

1.Coders
2.Modelers
3.Texture artists
4.Audio editors
5.Lots of luck
6.Chuck Norris
7. A bucket of soapy Frogs.
8. A wet suit with the arse cut out.
9. A "Blockbuster" rental card, as I think this game exists already.
10. A couple of Chux - those soapy Frogs can be messy.\
11. Al Gore (he invents everything)

You'd be very hardpressed without such a clever guy :tilt:

[MAGGOT]

Lots of great things in that list (the wet suit and the bucket of soapy frogs are especially helpful) but do you think they'll be able to work as a team and get it done? Somehow I think Al Gore will try to steal the glory and the project would fall apart...

[sgt.flippy]

Get Schumacher and then he and Gore can battle it out between them, Schumacher always tries to keep everything to himself. So we first get Gore's ideas, then we get Schumacher to take him out.

[XCNuse]

get dick cheney too, he will bring the guns ;)

[vanirl]

Why the heck would we want an arcade type mod to a racing simulator.
If ya want to play - play a game
If you want to race - drive LFS

It's as simple as that

[Wix]

Are you Serious ?? Why would you want to mod a full fledged Sim into a kiddy arcade game ..

This should get you the deathpenalty.

go play NFS but you better keep your hands of the real racer.

[nfsjunkie91]

I should never have pressed quick reply...

Guess what! If this was possible, he'd be making more cars for LFS, more tracks, and more texture modification, all on the LIVE FOR SPEED PHYSICS MODEL!

!!

You shouldn't be sitting here flaming him just because he has an idea, did he even say that he wants to mod the physics? No! So stop beating him just for that idea!

However, flaming because he just can't do it and still thinks he can is a bit better in my mind, but you shouldn't think he wants to corrupt your precious racing simulator, that's not what he's attempting to do.

[nath2004uk]

OK i dont know how 2 stop bumping im not good at forums and the only button i can press is post reply to post to a topic ):

[Sternendaal]

OK i dont know how 2 stop bumping im not good at forums and the only button i can press is post reply to post to a topic ):

lol nice spam.

Nobody can edit LFS,its a question if it ever will,so he can't do it. Next topic...

on a scale of 1 to 10 how retarded are you?

396

[Phill]

who the hell bumped it this time?! it wasn't the '396 retard'...

[micha1980de]

not sure if it could be counted as "edit" but when i tried to "see" the bf1 i downloaded the u version at a freinds place and couldn't use the full version "locked".
At the time i had no i-net at home, so i just copied the model from thw bf1 to my full 0.5Q version and voila, i could see the bf1 and drive it with the F08 physics...

regards

[nath2004uk]

STFU

Im just an unlucky person i never get anyrespect!

your the *****g retard flamin people for ideas im sure you had an idea and wouldnt like it wud ya retarded mother

[nath2004uk]

your the spammer in know more bout everything than you!

I wanna no

and you can edit lfs

i can edit:
dds files (textures)
Lang files(text)
pic files(menu screens etc)
skins (car skins)
ogg files(songs)



U cant flame people for modding lfs

the creators made it copyright but they made their forum and put their add on and mod section why?

If they wont let u edit it?

edit-
stop saying im bumpin the forums if you post on a topic then it moves to the top of the list of topics so people know theirs been a new post

Duh
lol nice spam.

Nobody can edit LFS,its a question if it ever will,so he can't do it. Next topic...

[MAGGOT]

You have not been shown respect because you have bumped several threads for no reason, and thus far, you have not had anything intelligent to say on these forums. It has nothing to do with luck, and that post certainly will not gain you any respect.


[EDIT] This thread is not about skins or language files or the various other things we CAN edit. The creator wanted to edit models and code. That is NOT possible ATM. Speaking of edit, use it. That is at least the second time you have double-posted. Stop bumping, stop double posting, start using proper grammar, and add something intelligent to the conversation and you will earn respect.

[Jakg]

and you can edit lfs

i can edit:
dds files (textures)
Lang files(text)
pic files(menu screens etc)
skins (car skins)
ogg files(songs)oh dear, aim your post at somebody! And you can edit CERTAIN things about LFS, but the fendamental changes he is propesing just arent possible.in know more bout everything than you!ROFL. Methinks notim sure you had an idea and wouldnt like it wud ya retarded motherROFL. Thats to classic not to quote.
1. I have had an idea, and i did like it (one of my best ideas was buying S2!)
2. I am not actually a retarded mother...

[al heeley]

Oh dear, descended into trading personal insults. Here comes the padlock again.
The thing is, it's not much of an idea. He posts saying he's going to do all this stuff yet wants everyone to do all the stuff for him as he doesn't really know how to. That to me is a waste of breath. Either learn from others how to do stuff, then contribute what you can do, or keep your views constructive and positive and try to add to other people's ideas. Or, go and fill up other forums with half baked daftness :thumb:
I think the soapy frogs was the best thing to come out of this thread, tbh.

[nath2004uk]

ook, It it possable to edit lfs including the cars.... BECAUSE IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

because the makers do scripting in the exe then get the scripting and edit it etc lol

[Jakg]

ook, It it possable to edit lfs including the cars.... BECAUSE IMPOSSIBLE IS NOTHING

because the makers do scripting in the exe then get the scripting and edit it etc lolok, it IS impossible unless your name is Scawen. You dont know too much about LFS so stop pretending you know it all and ignoring everybody else

[XCNuse]

get it into your mind that impossible does exist.. hence hte fact its in the dictionary

for example.. i will use a simple impossible demonstration.. it is impossible for the human body to drop 3 stories up, without breaking a single bone

[mrodgers]

Ha, got ya XCNuse. It is possible. You failed to say what the said human body was dropping onto from 3 stories up. Stuntmen do it all the time for movies. They drop from 3 or more stories onto an airbag. Again, it is possible :nana: .

[Spudster]

ok lemme have ago:

1. it is impossible for little kids not to be scared of michael jackson

2. it is impossible for george bush to string together an intelligable sentence

3. it is impossible winston churchill and adolf hitler to be reincarneted, get married, have seven children, adolf eats the sun, and then they both die (again) from eating my toenails.

[MAGGOT]

ok, 1 and 2, you are completely right. But on point number 3 - That is completely plausible. :)

[XCNuse]

1. it is impossible for little kids not to be scared of michael jackson
2. it is impossible for george bush to string together an intelligable sentence

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA *10^10000000000000 :D

this proves my point http://www.killsometime.com/Video/video.asp?ID=430

you have to watch this, before anyone decides to remove the link just watch it an you'll see the funniest thing ever!!!!!!!

i wonder if i am the first person to quote myself on this forum....

[Gunn]

It is impossible for this topic to continue this way.

Just for the record:
LFS 3D Models have their own native format which is not compatible with convential 3D authoring software and can not be edited by such. The 3D renders you see in the community are made possible by converting from CMX meshes (which were made available by the devs) to a popular format such as may be used in 3D Studio Max etc. CMX is not the native format used in LFS it is just a format that we can use to view the cars in the CMX Viewer (http://www.liveforspeed.net/?page=addons) (a utility to aid skin-making which allows you to view your skins on the cars without launching the entire game).
There is a very good reason why we can't edit 3D models and inject them back into LFS: The Developers don't want us to. When LFS is completed there may be a chance that custom content like this can be added, but I wouldn't bet my house on it.

The types of mods that are currently accepted and approved meet certain criteria that is acceptable to the devs. The devs do not want cars or tracks to be edited or replaced or custom public content like that to be used, and certainly not while LFS isn't even a completed project yet.

They do not accept any mods that might allow a form of online cheating or unfair advantage to occur. This affects hotlapping replays too. In any serious racing sim or game fairness and equity is imperitive or else there's no confidence in the product at all.

To keep it all very simple, you can't edit current cars or track models and you can not inject new car and track models into this simulator software. You can not use mods that allow cars to perform outside of their default limits in the online environment nor in hotlapping mode. Such mods as LFS Tweak (allowing you to experiment with performance limits) are currently tolerated (not officially supported) but there is no certainty that mods like this will be allowed indefinitely.

The developers obviously don't want Live For Speed to be modded six ways from Sunday when they haven't yet finished developing and implementing their own content. Quite understandable and I think we can all respect that.

Please understand though that the developers DO recognise the popularity of game modding and DO recognise the value of some types of mods for increasing the shelf life of a given game title. They know that customisation adds appeal and value for many gamers these days. They aren't anti-modding, they're just focusing on making an online racing simulator like no other before it.

There are perhaps three main reasons why modding is popular.
- Some people are hungry for more or new content.
- Some people like to make their own mark by creating or customising content.
- Additional features may be useful or desirable to some people.

Currently we can't really add more content or features (except for some offline mods) but each major patch or version update we recieve contains more of the good stuff from the devs anyway. In many ways it is good that LFS is still being developed.
We can make our own mark on LFS by customising skins and many other textures.
The devs listen to suggestions and ideas from our community and from racing professionals and look to the real world to decide what features are possible and relevant for a race sim.

Whatever shape LFS takes in regards to modding in the future, I think it is safe to say that the fundamental and most important things about a race sim are being taken care of and the type of customisation that the devs are likely to support will not be detrimental to the LFS that they envision.

[XCNuse]

oh.. and to add onto spudster's list.. Lance Armstrong will never understand french lol

after the tour last year "viva la tour.. er.. whatever.."

[nath2004uk]

2. is possible

george bush can just learn for 10 years then when he can do it...

well he can do it

This thread diverted off topic long ago. Please REFRAIN from adding any more posts of a political/antagonistic/spam nature.
Thanks:thumb:

[Lible]

What a nice idea, i wonder why nobody ever taught about that....

That reminds me a thread from Oblivion forums, where a guy was talking about some secret dragon riding, if you delete all your save games, and then jump off a cliff (then a dragon will catch you), others said, YES, it exists and you can even get cool powers, when done that, the first guy tried, and...

[al heeley]

No I'm sorry, that counts as useless O/T Spam. Well done.
