Quote from: alanrotoi on November 26, 2024, 12:22:02 PMExactly. The difference is the horizon but the track is exactly the same.
Thanks for clarifying. Not sure why they lost the variety of horizons going from 1.0 to 1.1.

Quote from: alanrotoi on November 26, 2024, 12:22:02 PMBTW @rallyfiend when we'll see you in the scoreboards of ZakStunts or Race for Kicks?  :) or a Live Race event maybe?
Not sure; aside from needing to blow off thirty years of cobwebs, I'm flat-chat over the this new year's break, which is when I'd normally get back into gaming.

You're welcome.

Quote from: rallyfiend on November 15, 2024, 12:15:42 AMThe zip I have found was made in 1999 from STUNTS 1.0 diskettes

Attaching the zip. HIG files not included, presumably because they were modified from the originals.

Quote from: alanrotoi on November 15, 2024, 04:45:03 PMAlso there are two versions of Skids

Do you mean differing other than the horizon setting? I haven't been able to find any other difference between versions where the source is original/reliable.

Thanks. It's cool to discover folks are still interested in an almost 35 year-old game. That said, was probably my most played in the early '90s; even made a terrain editor (just found out about the Shift+F1 option!)

Quote from: Duplode on November 15, 2024, 01:30:45 AMDid you post your reply with the "quick reply" box at the bottom of the page
Yes, that was it. Here's the BERNIES 1.0 track and comparison:

Interesting topic; I had recently found a old archive of Stunts 1.0 disks made in the late '90s (probably around the time I retired last PC with floppy drives) and got it going again under DOSBox-X. I'd never seen the later versions and only just found this site. Did some comparisons and have noticed there are also other track changes from 1.0 to 1.1, and I haven't found the 1.0 ones elsewhere.

TrackVariation
BERNIESIn 1.0 the first few turns are different
CHERRISIn 1.0 this track is called CHERRY.TRK, but is same
DEFAULTIn 1.0 the horizon is City (03), not Tropical (01)
HELENSNot in 1.0*
JOESPer this topic
SKIDSIn 1.0 the horizon is Alpine (02), not Tropical (01)

Given these slight variations, it should be possible for tools like Bliss to correctly identify the different versions; right now, 1.1 tracks are reported as 1.0 by DSI, and 1.0 versions I have are reported as 1.1 tracks by Anonymous.

I was going to attach the tracks and a comparison image for BERNIES, but I don't seem to be able to do that, probably due to being a first-time poster.

* The zip I have found was made in 1999 from STUNTS 1.0 diskettes, and the tracks retain their original October 1990 dates, so I would be confident they're unmolested. I'm pretty sure I didn't delete any, so the missing HELENS.TRK is likely to be missing from the source (and there's no corresponding .HIG file, either).
