It's very easy to install it. unless you actually want it to be a opponent. The new cars can be found in the garage from the start and doesn't need any editing to be seen in there. It's just to extract the car into the ..\assets\cars in your TDR folder and your set to go. No need for a install program.

It's a good thing for C2, because it needs editing to get the cars to work. But even TDR could use one. So the TXT files would be edited and the cars show up as opponents during the game!

Hm, I could perhaps be wrong about it too. Free ride or the main game?

I think I've never met a car in the main game. Unless I'd edited the 2 txt's. I think they could popup in Free Ride, but I'm not so sure. I must test it first.

hmm. thats weird but like i said i think some games are different, i have tryed to edit the .TXT file but i have never accomplished it. so i dont have any cars put into the game that way, some people say that when you beat the game they start to show up, have you beat the game yet?

I forgot about that. But that could be the reason. After finishing it, all cars are unlocked, and so the addons. So all of them can be raced against. But before that they can't be met at all.

addAi :wink:

And yes, I've beaten the game, with various methods. I usually start a new and finish the last race so it will be a fresh save. Then I test whatever I was supposed to test. The hardest difficult without use of addons was frustrating at times!

Every single car is randomized upon selection no matter which way it has been added (addon or orig(not including cops/supressor).

If it's the same Car Installer program Beroc used to send with his cars, you can unzip the car wherever you want, click on the installer and then you're set to go. No need to edit the stuff either

the sdk car exporter only works on max3.1

Incidently i do remember that someone was talking about getting it working/recoding to work on others, but im afraid my drunken brain has stopped working for the mean time. Or i could have just imagined that whole thing :s

Dark Angel:

I think I recall that Beroc said he probably could do it, but didn't want to as he already had 3.1 at the time and it worked fine for him, so.. he never did anything. Perhaps another person had thought about it too, which is the one you're thinking of. Perhaps.

Blacksunshine:

As for 3D Studio Max 4 and TDR. You can do pretty much Everything in that version of Max, But, you need someone who then have 3.1 and the plugin to export the whole deal. I work in 4.2 and make pretty much everything, as I said, besides some final touches in the setup after I've tried the car in-game.
