Does anyone know where I can find Australian cars and tracks for the free car simulation "Racer". I found it at this site. http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/
Apparently it is easy to convert cars to its format from games such as SCGT and GPL. Is anyone going to convert Holdens and Fords so they can be played in Racer? Its turning out to be a very good game as each new version is released.
Thanks
Leon

Man I had that game ages ago and I know they have updated it since.

I was thinking of converting cars for that game but if I went to the effort of finding out who would download them??

But if your interested maybe we could find out from the creator of the game how to and convert NFS cars etc.

Because it's a good game (oh and maybe make a Bathurst track if they dont already have one because they had a Surfers Paradise one before)

Hi
They have conversion guides on their site and encourage you to build extra cars and tracks. On the site they have a conversion guide for SCGT. I don't have SCGT but I think you can get Bathurst for it. If Bathurst is on SCGT then I would be great if you could convert it to Racer along with alot of the SCGT cars that Aussie Muscle made.
Thanks

What you really meant to ask is would we be prepared to convert our HS Aussie cars and tracks to Racer.

I can't speak for everyone else (naturally) but to my way of thinking if we spent our editing time on converting what we have already made for HS then we will end up with nothing new for HS for quite some time .....and then later nothing to convert.

Sorry, I am well and truly over-booked to volunteer for anything else, especially non NFS or V8 Challenge related.

l agree with rob on this, l reckon its ok for 1 or 2 ppl to convert cars(say bossracing) but asoon as u get all of us converting there be no time too make cars.

l know thats one reason kev has got other ppl to convert his cars, cause he just doesn't have time to make cars and convert them.

on the other hand, Boss-racing has spread the Australian car editing community by converting cars to GhG, so thanks Boss-andy:beer:

hey guys
i am really honoured to be able to convert your cars to other games ie GHG
i take great pleasure in converting because it spreads the aussie flag that little bit further than what would normally be known if there is a way to convert tracks from the current format to other games then i would do tha too

anyways my first priority is to my aussie mates who's cars i have converted i don't convert nothing at all without permission
ie robs bathurst set,aussiemuscles stable of v8's
etc
i love my country and its the only place i would rather be
if it don't got a v8 then i don't wanna know about it

so guys i take this opportunity to thankyou for making aussie cars it give me the chance to do something

btw rob i was messin' around in max and i was trying to add poly's to fix a coupla holes on a car and this is what happened

I agree but it wouldnt be bad to see some aussie cars converted to the game.

I still wouldnt mind converting cop cars over for something fun to drive.

Ps - I am not doing too many NFS cars that's why I would like to do my cop cars

I have 3D Studio Max on a CD somewhere. I never got the gist of it so I just threw it in the drawer. I could plug the holes in the XC if I would just land on the right verts. Dang thing made me so frustrated I made tiny pinholes into creaters by mistake. DOH!!

I will get back onto that when I have finished this track. BTW it ("Maximum Overdrive") is coming along better than the version I lost when my HD collapsed.
