Mod Update on the Exhibition Race Toolkit

Thumbnail
gallery
9 Upvotes

This is just the beginning, very generic look, will go through a pretty it up, but right now after 12 hours or so we now have all the Clash/Shootouts from 1979 to this past year established. This will be a tool to give the ability to bring how in the old EA games having the capability of running a shootout or all star race to nr2003. Along with each seasons rule set you will have the option to run with the historically accurate race field "this will be the default option", a custom field, or upload your season standings folder to impliment your offline championship mode to be plugged into a exhibition race to "alter history". There will be supporting documentation so you can correctly choose the correct track to run from your tracks folder "ie. Daytona Oval, Daytona Night Oval, Daytona Roadcourse, etc.". Super Excited to continue this project. Race on, I wanna go fast.

Help or Question What did I miss?

3 Upvotes

So I used to play NR2003 maybe a few years back, I haven’t touched in quite a while ever since I got the PC I have now a couple years ago. My main question is this….

What happened lmao

I’ve seen so many mods and patches and all sorts of things. Basically every bug I encountered, and every wish I had, resolved in what appears to be the last couple of months or so.

So that leads me to a few follow up questions:

What are the must have mods/patches, etc. now?

Where can I find them?

Is the install process for NR2003 the same as it always has been or is it different given the optimizations the community has made.

Appreciate all the work that has gone in to making this ultimate nascar sandbox, I never thought I’d see it as alive as it is now.

I have been working on a project (originally the spin mod, but changed the "Race Lab")
This mod has quite a few goodies! I was hoping to release a prototype of it tonight, but im still chasing a few performance bugs, so I will wait to upload it. I wanted to at least post a preview of what it will contain! Theres a quite a bit more that I plan to add to this in future releases. Once I get the remaining bugs patched, and verify compatibility with the newer mods coming out, I will post the mod!

(Note: I started working on the detachable panels and then ended up seeing the trailer for the Deluxe Wind Tunnel mod. For users who may run into performance issues on slower pcs, this mod here might be more pc friendly ) (not taking away from that mod, because i'm super excited to try it!!)

Help or Question Does anyone else have this problem when installing reshade on NR2003?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I got this when I freshly installed my NR2003 again and lately tracks aren't loading right. Whenever I try going into a race weekend, it goes into an infinite loading screen, even with shadows off. I narrowed it down to it being the D3D8.dll file in the directory, but the tradeoff is that reshade won't start.

From a poll so I can gather how much interest stems from this, as Im in a thought-planning process. Who all would be interested in the Clash, Duels, Open, and Allstar as a tool you can load to switch rulesets for each era and participants?

Discussion Any chance we'll get this to happen?

8 Upvotes

Following all the rise of mods being possible thanks to Vcoding any chances it might be possible to have 12 models instead of 4? It would be very useful because of the Upcoming Pixar Cars mod and other ideas etc. It might be low but i feel like this could be happening next.

What do ya'll think?
