In order to fix a glitch (as mentioned by Argammon's post) that affects game's replay control presentation, I'd to change a little bit the position of the side mirrors part on car's dashboard in order to lift the non opaque part it.

So I've modified STDAZMP4.VSH file and released a new version 1.1 of McLaren Honda MP4/4 car. (It should be OK to use in competition since no changes were made in RES file)

Hello Argammon,

I've fixed the referred glitch.
Please check the attached file You cannot view this attachment. by replacing the existing one. (it doesn't invalidate using the car in competition)

Hello pipsqueaks!

As you know, fiddling with the mechanics of the game isn't my strong point so I am here asking for your help. 
Is anyone able to fix the MCLaren before it becomes a competitive car in the coming month? 

The glitches really take away some of the fun racing with it.

Hello Argammon,

Are you referring those glitches to funcionning of rev counter in McLaren MP4/4 dashboard?

If yes, unfortunately it's a consequence of the position of de rev counter on the outside of the steering wheel...

I've got one more person who's potentially interested talking to me over PM, and it's an absolutely legendary car maker

Well, I already joined, so you must be talking to yourself again.

I bet it's zapper, 

..and then you were right Daniel3D
After some past experience on giving some hints and work in colaboration some of these steps with KyLie and Ryoma, and the invitation from Overdrijf, I'm here to participate in the following steps:

4 - Base performance
5 - Engine and gearbox
6 - Base dashboard image

For the video part I have no experience, but if necessary I hope to find someone in this community car project to make the video. I will provide screenshots and notes as a guide.

@Zapper, you sent two replays with the same time—your best time!—and ZakStunts can't deal with that

I've removed the second you posted from the scoreboard, but I'm attaching it here

Hi @dreadnaut, I was in doubt of what file I had submitted, so I'm guilt in causing confusion ZakStunts. 

I made a test and the car reaches 219 mph. The replay is attached.

I've updated car's article to stated real top speed of 219 mph
Thank you @alanrotoi

Just a reminder: real top speed of mclaren honda is not 212 mph it's about 229 mph. It needs a test.

From my tests, it reaches 218 mph (stable and almost at rev limiter) after any considerable jump.
So, 218 mph real top speed, 212 mph flat track top speed (without any preceding jump).

If you agree, I'll edit and correct this on wiki's article.

...Zapper, Heretic... ...Shorty...

Plus Argammon.

Proposed teamname: Zaptic Shortamon.
It's an electric type from gen 12.

He would lose grip on dirty for sure, because ground is super-effective on it... 😂

Unless, like Zapdos, it has flying as second type... 😏

Hello, sorry you all for my late pronounce on this subject.

I am glad for all your encouraging attempts in order to make me consider to be part of a ZakStunts competition team, but for now I wish to stick as a solo competitor, I like to learn by my self the tricks and skills to become better driver in Stunts without compromise (I already know that it's a hard challenge).

Also, like Daniel3D stated, I have some other Stunt's non-competition plans. My time in next season should be spend more on custom car projects that I previously wanted to accomplish

Hi alanrotoi,

The in-game car specs normally sticks the original (real) car or car's top speed no horizontal flat road.
I think that top speed at top gear and rev limit speed is just a indicator for specific running condition in Stunts.
If it's general consensus question "Real top speed" information could be changed in wiki car article to something like "Max speed on rev limit in top gear".

(meanwhile Caterham's wiki page and List of custom cars page is being updated)

@zapper. You know, I think, more than most of us about how the game processes the sound files. Can you lower the tone of SKI2 so that it is more of a rumble?

@Daniel3D, here you have the file (based on ADENG1.VCE you post before) with a lower tone grass skid sound.

Changes signaled below:

I'm seeing that you all have harvesting some useful information! But let me bring some information that I noted when changing "engine" sound on ADENG1.VCE bytes:

"Instrument data:

Lines (100 byte split)
1: STOP
2: STAR
3: ENGI ->
   Columns (decimal offset)
      300..339: not tested
      343: change pattern (decimal values: 15-31-47)
      344: change pattern (decimal values: 15-22-28-82)
      346: change pitch (decimal values: 3-5-7)
      352:   fadein
      356: fadeout
      358: change pattern (decimal values: 0-6)

4: BLOW
5: SKID
6: SCRA
7: BUMP
8: CRAS
"




These notes can be gathered into a wiki to describe VCE content files.

@zapper. You know, I think, more than most of us about how the game processes the sound files. Can you lower the tone of SKI2 so that it is more of a rumble?

Yes it should be possible, I'll try to achieve it in a couple of days. (im out from home) 

[Tandy also doesn't]

After stating that grass surface sound is missing on AdLib/Sound Blaster setup (Tandy also doesn't) by comparison with PC Speaker and MT-32 VCE files, I found a way to use a skid sound when driving non-tarmac (grass/mud/ice) surfaces.

I've replicated the same fix on Tandy resource file TDENG1.VCE, check attached TDENG1SK.VCE file below.

Hi,

After stating that grass surface sound is missing on AdLib/Sound Blaster setup (Tandy also doesn't) by comparison with PC Speaker and MT-32 VCE files, I found a way to use a skid sound when driving non-tarmac (grass/mud/ice) surfaces.

Initially I tried to add a resource at the end of the file ADENG1.VCE and also increasing byte nr. 5 from 8 to 9 (matching number of sound resources), but it seems dificult to get it recognized (all sounds get muted):



So my second attempt was to replace the "STOP" sound resource (as far as I know it's not heard in game), with the a new resource "SKI2" that is related for non-tarmac skid sound as you can check:


(original file content on top window)

I've tunned a little to be a lower tonned like It happens on Pc Speaker or MT-32.

The resulting file ADENG1SK.VCE is on attach, just replace the original ADENG1.VCE to try it.

@Zapper.
Are you ok with me attaching the corrupted version of your car for those who want to research this?

Hi @Daniel3D, unfortunately I replace locally the bug version with a corrected one...
I also tried to reproduce the bug, without success.

The file attached, when I post the initial mod version, had the following url:
http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=3636.0;attach=9777
...but it's now unavailable.

Do you have the zip file somewhere in browser's transfers folder?
