Nfs4 Windows Xp Patch
“Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit” is the first 3D game of my life. When I've seen the game first time, I was extremely amazed because I'd never seen 3D games before. It was in 2000. I can't count hours which I've spent in the Split Screen mode with my cousin.
And the music. It's so awesome, so I'd recorded it on an audio cassette, and listened it hundreds of times.And now, years later, I had tried to play this game. But the game refused to run on modern hardware. So, I had tried to investigate how to fix it.
I had a little carried away by this. As the result I've created an impressive patch. 25000+ lines of assembly code, 150+ days of reverse-engineering and coding, 40 sheets of A4 paper were covered with writing during development, a huge list of changes.Hometown in widescreen resolution Key Features. Full widescreen and HD resolutions support.
You can easily use resolutions like 1920×1200. Now the game supports all aspect ratios from the 5:4 to 16:9, inclusive 4:3 and 16:10.
HUD will be adopted automatically for every aspect ratio. Improved graphics. No more cars with non-rotating wheels, better textures and models for other's cars (original game reduces size of textures even on maximum graphics settings), better graphics in the rear view, etc.
New graphics settings: Rear View Detail (High/Medium/Low), Rear View Camera From (In Car Camera/Active Camera, it decreases the blind spot), Fog (On/Off, like in the NFS4), Wide View Angle setting (useful for the widescreen resolutions). Fog effect and light beams support in DirectX 6/7 (they were exclusive effects for the 3dfx Voodoo). Portability. All system settings are loaded from the ini file. No more registry!. Compatibility. Most problems with modern Windows were fixed.
Full support of multi-core processors. Original game can work properly only on one core. This change dramatically improves performance of the nGlide and the dgVoodoo. Alt+Tab support. You can safely minimize the game when nGlide or dgVoodoo driver is used. Built-in screenshoter.
Just press Print Screen key, and a screenshot will be saved into the screenshots subdirectory in the JPG/PNG/BMP format. Improved keyboard support in the menu. Now it is much more consistent. You can also use the Tab and Shift+Tab to switch between elements. Better modding abilities. The game doesn't crash when high-poly cars are used.
Also it possible to use huge textures up to 2048×2048 (original limit was 256×256). Optimizations. 10 times faster gameplay loading on modern systems. To skip loading animation just press any key.

Find other NFS3 fans for the network games in our Telegram group chat!If you are a server, ports 1030 and 9803 have to be accessible from the network, so you have to add the appropriate permit rule in your firewall for the nfs3.exe and configure a port forwarding properly. If you're a client, port forwarding isn't required. If you wish to find someone who wants to play NFS3 with you, join.
PlansDonated:.Status: suspended.Planned features:. Done Sharp fonts and other elements in menus on D3D renderers, just like when Glide renderers are used. Done The problem with visible black polygons (e.g.
Near the Old Church) on the DX7 renderer will be solved. Done Movies support for the DX8 renderer. Done 32bpp rendering for movies. Menu will also work in 32bpp video mode and it will look better. Now it works in 16bpp. Simple windowed mode for the DX6/DX7/DX8 renderers. It will be possible to enable it using ini file.

Investigation about how to add an ability to restore minimized game when it works in fullscreen mode. Separate “Frame Size” and “Frame Cropping” graphics settings instead of the current combined one.
Rewriting of the code which uses the mouse cursor in the exclusive mode. The game will use the default system behavior of the mouse cursor. It will solve many small problems with the mouse cursor in this game. For example, your cursor will be able to leave the window of the game (when it works in a window) without pressing any keys. Also it will solve problems with mouse lagging on some computers. Solving of the problems with loading of ghost and replay files from other players (when the other player has a little bit different set of cars in his game). An optional ability to change structure of the game directories using the ini file.
It may be useful for modding. It will be more flexible than the install.win from the original versions. For example, you will be able to move all save files to some separate directory (e.g. 'savedata').
An optional ability to load a thrash driver from the root directory, as it was in the original version of the game.These features are planned for the v1.6.1, v1.6.2 and v1.6.3. A beta version is. 2019/05/24 at 01:36Hello, I am (was very fond of nfs3 and was happy to stumble upon your great effort!I have immediately tried, but no matter what 'trashdriver' I set in nfs3.ini, intereaction with menus is perfect all resolution seem to be available, but when I try to start a race, the red bar shown in the bottom of the race loading screen goes from left to right almost fully, but just when it is close to finishing and the interactive game environment should be displayed, the bar and the loading screen freeze totally, and I have to close the application with the task manager.
Where am I wrong????I am trying on a windows 10 modern PC, and I have tried to run the game as is and in compatibility modes (win98, vista, etc), but the problem is always there. Before loosing all hopes, do you have any hint or suggestion?Thanks again. 2019/07/25 at 07:16Lolita, but it is like the 3D model of the Diablo SV was created. Probably, it looks like this because the camera looks on the car from a bit high point?You know, some other cars have much worse 3D models in the game. It is a game from 90's, just don't forget about it.
It was hard to create a perfect 3D model of a car back in the days.BTW, in the NFS4 the Diablo SV 3D model is squeezed much more. I don't know why developers did it, but it is the way the models were created. 2019/07/25 at 16:53Okay, you say it's the way how the 3D model is created.
But why not improve that? We know the original 3D model is not perfect, so let's make it perfect with this patch. This is very important and a major thing to improve for me, because I'm always looking at the car's rear when I drive and it doesn't feel like a real car. Look, I stretched the original screenshot from 1280x720 to 1440x720 and now the back lights are round and the proportions are more like a real Diablo SV. This is how it should look like on 1280x720 or any other resolution.When you don't agree, at least stretching the original picture to 1360x720 instead to 1440x720 would be definitely more realistic than the original picture.

2019/07/29 at 01:03Patching means to correct things. And this is something that needs a correction. I'm now playing with thrash driver 'dgvoodoo' and set a custom resolution 3240x2160 which is a 1:1,5 aspect ratio. Closer on 4:3 than on 16:9, but:+ Anti-Aliasing+ Full cockpit view (no cuts on the bottom)+ High res cars in main menu+ Wider cars, but not too wideAll that is not available in 'nglide'. The only benefit of nglide is corrected widescreen FOV Hor+For both I disabled fog (it makes Hometown too bright) and I set the nglide gamma from 5 to 3 (this was also too bright).I love both modes, but dgvoodoo has some great benefits over nglide.The fans of my RTX 2070 get loud on NFS 3.
2019/09/05 at 04:05I started also a project of making all cars more acuarate, started with both lambos, because those had the worse proportioned models. I have the three main class B, the Diablo, and to be honest I abandoned the project till yesterday. I had a brand new Warrior PTO E/2 from original TNFS finishing details.By the way, veg, is there any chance that you could get a version of the patch that loads directories from an.ini file? I know that you suspended your work on this thing, but perhaps just the directories stuff wouldn't be too much of a hassle to get working (speaking from total ignorance).
2019/09/08 at 21:54Mato556, it is not clear what is your issue. Do you mean that the menus don't work at 1920×1080? 1920×1080 will work during gameplay only. All the menus are hardcoded to be 640×480. If 1920×1080 does not work during gameplay, how it looks like? Can you choose this resolution in the game settings?
Have you tried to select different thrash drivers in the nfs3.ini?Walter, unfortunately, some other significant changes in my life are happening now, so no time for the project. It is in backlog. One day I'll definitely do it, the question is 'when' =). 2019/09/08 at 22:40I found an issue in the dgVoodoo thrash driver.
You added the Napalm Glide3.dll and this one will cause light flickering at night. So I replaced it with the standard Glide3.dll from the latest version and it works. So for the next release you should fix the Napalm dll or revert the standard dll back.For dgVoodoo you should set in game resolution to 640x480 and use the dgVoodoo config tool to set the resolution you want to play.For nGlide you have to set resolution in game.@beterhansThanks, the Diablo model of your patch is more accurate, but has less visual quality than the original from the game. And I don't want to have all cars and tracks unlocked by default - this is for what I want to play the career mode. Your mod is nice to have as a mod, but I would not have it as a default feature.
2019/09/15 at 21:38Here, you can have my better Diablo to try it too. It uses the default texture, it just has higher detail and corrected shape (it's modeled to match forza's diablo, and those cars were 3D scanned so you can't get more accuarate than that). Police version comes with multiple skins selectable from VIV file (so you have to open it with any VIV manager), including a stealth/template, redrock ridge and PSX interceptor.Medium and Low qualities were taken from original High and Medium, respectively, and the shapes were also modified to match better the proportions of the car.
