The LM002 and the Countach are available to see in the Lamborghini Museum in the region of Bologna, Italy.

I was there in my last vacation and seeing the LM002 was a surprise, I didn't expected at all. IRL is a nice car, completely opposite to the game.

They have also a 20 EUR Lambo simulator, that they should have put Stunts instead.

Great time for 962.

I've lost everything in a hard disk crash circa 1998... when I was a child my Stunts install even hit the track limit. I used to play the game every single day.

I do remember having sub 1:10.00 times in default. Very good memories.

When I took a month vacation in BUE I learned also that Pato is a very common nickname in Argentina. So yeah. Clicked easily.

Hello, it seems that email messages aren't being delivered when sent through the forum.

I've messed with my password manager and need to reset the password, however the email never arrives. I've also tried adding email notification to some threads, and the notification also never arrived.

The video speaks for itself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZNGdzGi2BI

Details are on GitHub.

Feedback is appreciated.

Have fun.

PS: I'm an idiot and posted the other two software releases in the wrong subforum, if anyone could move to here: skidpack and skidset.

I'd like to try the Roland Sound Canvas driver. Is it available already? Your repo `skidsc55` seems private.

The secret was found too fast.

We will see...

This is a reverse engineered SETUP.EXE implementation in C that is a drop-in replacement for the original SETUP.EXE program, with expandability in mind.

Details are on GitHub.

Feedback is appreciated.

Have fun.

PS: This release came a little late, I've planned to drop it around the same time of `skidpack` but I had a power outage today due to the weather here in Brazil. Hope it still counts as a Wednesday release.

The (un)packer is in C and from my testing it seems to run everywhere we gonna probably need.

Details are on GitHub.

Feedback is appreciated.

Hi @viniciusferrao ! You can change the theme by going to the Look and Layout settings of your profile, "Current Theme" option.

How did I missed that? Thanks!!! My eyes are more comfortable now.

It seems that Stunts 1.0 (BB) release is busted.

The CGA.COD file is damaged, ALPINE.PVS is missing and HELENS.TRK is also missing.

I've found curious that the files were dated from the release date, that was fabricated or they are untouched for the original floppies?

Thanks.

I'm an idiot. Where is the dark theme? I've look everywhere.

Speaking of drivers, it's worth mentioning that with the Restunts builds you can choose the sound driver with command line switches when launching the executable: /spc, /ssb, /sad and /smt for PC speaker, Sound Blaster, AdLib and MT-32 respectively.

That was a reason for me to include a new setup program and stunts executable similar to the original of the game in the new original package.

Yes, the whole point of the new `setup.exe` program is to regenerate `stunts.bat`, which is cleaver since it will replicate the old functionally, but if I understood correctly that piece of software is closed source and not part of the restunts project.

So in the end, where can Restunts be found now? 

For the moment it's still available on dreadnaut his Bitbucket ,

And on Xor2003 his GitHub

I have a few copies locally as well. And now also added to the STUNTS resources (globe icon)
So don't worry. It's safe and available..

May I ask for the modified versions? For example 1.1.1 made by that you guys made? Are those opensource?

The mods for the Ferrari version and coloured needles are on dreadnaut his bitbucket.
As for the new original, that is merely rebuild executables. No new code.
Also, all new code is also detailed in the modifications topic.

Yes sure, but do we have a git repo that I can just clone and generate the 1.1.1 version with the disabled copy protection, new setup.exe and the new banner on the options stating the version 1.1.1?

I just asking that because it's simpler to keep the updates and it lowers the bar for newcomers.

Thanks.

I've hosted the images at my university: www.if.ufrj.br/~ferrao/stunts

Hope China does not block this.

[What a deception!]

Sorry to start this *FLAME* thread. But it was necessary. And the old one is older than 120 days, so I'm opening a new one.

I've seen that thread and all the hype about the Otto track. So I got an Windows just to run the FM Towns emulator, got the 4D Driving ISO and everything else. A lot of work to put all running, since I'm run Mac OS X and actually I was emulating the emulation: Mac OS X to a Virtual Machine Running Windows XP to UNZ (FM Towns Emulator).

What a deception!

First of all EA Games has taken over in DSi/Broderbound work. It's everything ridiculous. Sorry, but even the music and all the "4D Driving song faggotry" that everybody here liked. The cool car driving in the DSi diskette was replaced to a fixed screen of EA Games Canada with the narrator speaking: 4D DRIVING IS BOUGHT TO YOU BY EA GAMES.

The next 'skid up' is the Otto Track. Really... this shit is NOT the original Otto Track, take a look:


Seriously? This is made by a junior employee to "finish" the game. A shitty track made by a shitty company (EA Games).

After seeing this I just realized that Otto Track is nothing else than DEFAULT.TRK. Why? It's simple. In a untouched Stunts installation we got all tracks with high scores on it. Bernie has it own high score on Bernie's track, Joe, Cherri, Helen and Skid too. And Otto is on the DEFAULT Track. Which lead me to conclude: Default is the Otto Track.

Why it's not named OTTO.TRK? Simply: because the stunts engine need some default files to load up. They are: DEFAULT.TRK and DEFAULT.RPL; this is why "Otto Track" is named default.

Check it out:


Another drawback in the FM Towns version is: if the HERROTTO.TRK is real, it should be named OTTO.TRK and not HERROTTO.TRK.

And talking about default files, let's watch the DEFAULT.RPL and realize that the track on the replay is not on the game. When we load it up and just leave the replay and go to track selection screen we got a "hidden" track: VANCOUVR. Clearly a mention to Vancouver City. Hometown of Distinctive Software, in Canada.



No record as expected, but this appears to be a genuine track. Look at the finishing, it's well made, and not shitty made like HERROTTO.TRK in the FM Towns Version.

And to finish up my conspiracy theory it's perfect to have seven tracks (including VANCOUVR.TRK and DEFAULT.TRK) due design choices in Stunts. Look at the track selection menu, it fits perfectly seven tracks:



So just face it. Otto track was the most played track of history. People never realized that Otto track is the default one.

And the third 'skid up' from FM Towns version is the tournament mode. WTF is this? Someone made up some poor made tracks and put in the game. They don't even have a name! It's TRACK_00.TRK to TRACK_25.TRK.

Seriously, EA Games destroyed our game. And just to put more fire on it: they should have the source code, at least the fucked up version from FM Towns. But they will never, ever, release it. Because this is will not make them profit. And EA Games is *ALL* about profits.
