NFS III HOT Pursuit Reloaded, Now Hot Pursuit Revival

[Dohc-WP]

Ok so I have been quiet lately and a lotta schitte has been going on in my life so in order to destress i decided to fall back and bury myself in my NFS Mod ! I have started from scratch again so hopefully it will be completed this time

Originally i wanted to recreate nfs 3 using the Unreal engine but just learning the basics of that engine will probably take a year. The mod is being developed simultaneously for NFS III and IV (The nfs IV engine is essentially the nfs 3 engine on steriods)

the engines have their differences however, NFS III features seperate texture files for hardware, software renderers which means that in hardware mode the game uses high colour textures which looks good on the other hand NFS IV supports psuedo bloom and fogging effects but it only supports a single texture pack which means it only support 8 bit textures in order to also run with a software renderer

The mod features :
High Poly Cars
Reimagined Tracks (original tracks but edited, High Res Textures which i made myself and new track objects, crowds air balloons etc.)
New Loading Screens
New Audio Effects

My title screens which incorporates the new style nfs font and Logo

NFS III

NFS IV

A Screenshot of how rocky pass looked originally

My initial take on Rocky Pass (this was done a while ago and features even more object and better textures

NFSIII is also one of my favorites. I love Lost Canyons. Best track ever. Wouldn't mind racing that in a Veyron

Godspeed to you, mate.

Finally some Updates, This old engine is a B**** to work with, any texture bigger than a certain size the game crashes, if the overall texture file gets too big it crashes, if you add to much geometry to a certain block it crashes (streaming was a futuristic word in 1998 apparently) alot of my planned ideas are being canned due to the limitations of the engine (If ea made the source available it would be a whole different story)

Mappy. The original Base model was ripped from NFS undercover and i reduced the polycount from 20000 to around 6000 to get the model to load in the old nfs 3 engine. still some minor texture issues to be sorted then its done !

I think Carbon was one of the goodies too..
