Ah!  I understand that feeling. This has happened to me

That's why we don't progress. For Mr. TomVDJ: You seem to have an old computer with DOS on it(?) so the currently recommended version for you is somewhere around here:

https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4404.0

[edit] On that computer with 5.25 inch floppies you probably can't copy anything. You can't record any diskette with a new computer and all my diskettes were useless last time I tried them anyway. [/edit]

In my game changing the camera position is easy. The fist line must be edited in the car text file:

camera 0.5 0.0 0.45

For Stunts with a C program it still doesn't work and nobody can fix it.

C:\STUNTS\CAREDIT3.EXE
## Assertion failed!
## Declared and actual size of RES file differ.

Ok I give up.

I didn't understand anything. Car Blaster:

         LOADING CAR:



Filename without extension:  CARF355
    Current directory :  C:\STUNTS


*** The file st?.p3s does not exist !  ***
*** The file stda?.pvs does not exist !  ***
*** The file stdb?.pvs does not exist !  ***

I only compile C programs. Here it is but it doesn't work, I don't know why. Addresses 208 (d0), 209 (d1) and 247 (f7) store 0:

Code Select Expand

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(int argc,char *argv[]){
  int i,sf,*val;
  FILE *fin,*fout;

if(argc<3){printf("Files not declared\r\n"); exit(1);}
if(argc>3){printf("Too many parameters\r\n"); exit(1);}

if(!(val=(int *)malloc(2000*sizeof(int)))){printf("Insufficient memory\r\n"); exit(1);}

if(!(fin=fopen(argv[1],"r"))){printf("Could not open '%s'\r\n",argv[1]); exit(1);}
i=0; val[i]=fgetc(fin);
while(val[i]!=EOF){i++; val[i]=fgetc(fin);}
fclose(fin); sf=i;

printf("simd: %d, %d\r\n",val[208],val[209]);
printf("absolute: %d, %d\r\n",val[246],val[247]);
printf("Replace %d with: ",val[246]);
scanf("%d",&i);
printf("%d -> ",val[246]); val[246]=i;
printf("%d\r\n",val[246]);


if(!(fout=fopen(argv[2],"w"))){printf("Could not open '%s'\r\n",argv[2]); exit(1);}
for(i=0;i<sf;i++){fputc(val[i],fout);}
printf("File size: %d\r\n",sf);
fclose(fout);

free(val);

return 0;
}


Someone (not me) could add a C program which fixes the cars. The program should:

-receive the name of the input file (what is the extension?)
-display the current height of the car
-ask for the desired height
-rewrite the input file

It should be easy.

Really cool!  I imagine what it'd be like if Stunts could load a track this big and you could freely ride around.

There is a game that could load a track this big. Anyone interested? No? Ok...

So the cars can be fixed? That's good. All of them are wrong, including the cars in the mod with Ferari.

The cars in Stunts are too low (incorrectly), see screenshots.

I also added a video of my game with Stunts tracks, btw (latest version is above).

"Not Found"

[car]

"As mentioned on the first page, until the early 20th century streets were open to everybody, but then some rich people acquired cars and started using them to kill other people they found on those streets."

Can someone add a semi-trailer truck?

Simutrans is better.

I only played them a little ~8 years ago. Very unrealistic, you can't drive any of the vehicles and no 3D graphics. Anyway, with my game you can do a lot more than with Stunts, for which you can't change the track size or use more elements (besides the cars not moving properly), so there's no reason to create a new set of track elements for Stunts, because Stunts isn't free anyway. You can just keep the current tracks.

[...] and maybe even we could pay to have a special permission, but in the best case scenario, it'd become freeware, not free software. Good reason to make a new engine!

Actually I only need new track elements, btw. Here's a suggestion:

Because

"tracks from Stunts made in 1990 are also available but for copyright (not mine) reasons, these are not free..."

If it runs in DosBOX, Stunts uses SDL. Solved.
