Quote from: dreadnaut on May 29, 2025, 07:38:24 PMThat is quite impressive, given the size of the city. I'm comparing with Italy, where maybe football culture is different, but a 24k city would have the resources for a team, but not the pool of people to get a good set of players 😅

Was football already a big thing there, as in "let's get kids to play in school, let's have little local tournaments" ?

Hungary is a smaller country than Italy, we have only about 9.5-10M inhabitants. After the capital, the second largest city, Debrecen has just over 200.000 inhabitants. Kazincbarcika is the 48th largest city/town (however, we were in the top30 around 1990) in the country.

The fun fact is Kazincbarcika will be far from being the smallest town with a top division football club. 10 cities/towns will have a top division football club, and three is smaller than Kazincbarcika: Paks (19.000), Kisvárda (16.000) and Felcsút (1.700, Viktor Orbán's home village).

I don't think football is especially popular in the town nowadays. In the 80s and 90s it would have been less surprise to see our football team in the top division, when our junior team played in the highest tier, producing players for the Hungarian national team, and the town (with much more inhabitants than today) was crazy about football. But we lost the promotion playoff both in 1982 and 1990 (against famous Hungarian clubs MTK Budapest and Budapest Honvéd). The team wasn't intended to earn promotion before the start of the season. Several players came from Debrecen who were neglected there, including two former national player teams as well. They (Bódi and Varga) become the leaders of our team. When we kept on being in the 1st/2nd place of the table, the club checked for its financial support and after having success, decided to go for the promotion. Even before the last round it seemed surrealistic, but still, by now it has become reality.

By the way the most successful sport here is volleyball: we have five national championship titles and three national cup victories. The team also played in international cups and in the central European league. This season we earned the bronze medal in the national championships. But in Hungary, volleyball is much less popular than in other parts of the world, our men's national team is very far from being a big gun internationally.

No prob!  Actually, it'd be very good if they'd approach us more, like by changing the official distribution  8)

I've long been thinking of rewriting CarWorks and one thing I should do then is make sure it can be compiled for DOS. I've done that for Bliss, but was lazy with CarWorks. It also has a number of bugs I never fixed. Hopefully sometime I can work on that. It'd help a lot with matters like these.

Wonderful to finally see the complete map!  Makes me want to have started a similar project at the beginning of my Stunts... uh... career?  Ha, ha. Very good!

(by the way, the words "career" and "race" are both translated as "carrera" in Spanish)

Something I forgot to mention: Also for historical reasons, Car Blaster assumes simd is the first resource in the RES file, which isn't the case for some of the custom cars. To avoid any issues with that, you can use one of the newer editors, like CarEdit3.
