April fools # I Killed Replay Handling !! And this is why it was not easy.

[Daniel3D]

Alright,, Some things have been happening lately.
First off, I have been busy lately. Mostly private things. So most of my projects are on hold. But when I have some time but no computer at hand, then I like to read the disassembled stunts code a bit. I try to get a grip on the game structure and how it works..
I (Daniel) was talking to Daniel (Argammon) the other day about the FM towns version and the differences between that version and the DOS version 1.1. 
One of the differences he noticed was the limitation in Replay Handling. Where the DOS version gives warning after rewinding a replay but lets you continue, the FM Towns version does not let you continue unless you are at the very end of the replay.

I remembered where that message is located in the code, and after researching the FM Towns game files, I thought I had figured it out. I was not sure how to continue from there, though, so I contacted Daniel (Duplode) about it. With his help, I found the best way to do this.

First: Remove "Continue Driving" from the game completely.
Second: Change the game to make the version unique and incompatible with others.

This was not easy. It took several weeks of hard work, several failed attempt and a lot of testing. With the Restunts repository and work in the tool made by Daniel (Dstien) known as stressed we have finally done it. A NoRH version of stunts!!

I just need to finish off some details. And then it's ready to publish.
I still have to make the option disappear..
It doesn't work any more, i swear, but you can still see it...

Great work, 4 Daniels!

So the replays from this version are incompatible with other game version, presumably, so someone can't just hand in a 1.1 lap (with maybe a few flags changed).

Does that mean the physics are different?

Yeah, I compared differences in the code between stunts and the FM towns version.
The replays can be exchanged between the two, but the cars behave differently.
I used some of that in the new version.
The replays are unique to this version now.

Are people riding in left-corners faster? Or only line speed?

I will not go into details about what I changed. Because I don't want others to replicate it in a RH version..

This is a fantastic project helmed by Daniel, and it's a privilege to be able to play even a small role in it

Congratulations!  Also love the "4Daniel's Sports Driving" name, ha, ha

Of course it was April 1st yesterday.
So this was my sort of spontaneous April fools joke.
Although I am very into innovation of the game for the future.
I would never take credit like this.

Although I do like the idea of
"Daniel's stunts initiative"

I love the matching "Daniel" profiles. Really completes the setting. 

P.S. Unlike in my last post, here the first letter of each word doesn't spell anything.

@Overdrijf LOL!
