RASCAR: Roster Update and Paintjobs

I've updated the roster page for the following individuals: #34 Tim White #36 Steve Lane (unauthorized re-paint - see below) #67 Uwe (authorized re-paint) #97 Don Wilshe #170 Joon Li (authorized re-paint) Sometimes I get bored and pick a rascar car to repaint. I only do the ones that in my opinion lack a certain amount of Nascaricity. Sometimes, I merely change the nmumbers, but other times, I do an entire facelift. I am not trying to ridicule your abilities as a painter, I'm just interested in the cars that I see on the track look tidy, and secondarily, look like stockcars. So please don't take it the wrong way (so far I don't think anyone has), I'm just bored and thinking about the next rascar race. With that out of the way: To Uwe - I added the scottish flag, but I couldn't put it on the blue section because it ended up looing like a white "X". I put it on the leading edge of the hood, and on the back of the rear spoinler. Hope that's okay with you. To DaveFischer - I did a repaint of your car to A) make it more Nascarish in my eyes, and B) because I wanted to use the paintscheme (it's flashier and easier to identify on the track). I posted a message on racesimcentral some time back with an image, but you never responded with a yay or nay. I can post a pic on racesimcentral if you're interested. :) To Lee Ward - I did a repaint of your car too - yours wasn't bad at all, I just thought the numbers needed to be a bit different. I was surprised to find out that England had it's own flag (and I assume that's what you were going after with the white car/red stripes). I couldn't find a decent Harrod's logo on the net, so your decklid is bare. I did change the fonts all around because I didn't have one like yours and didn't really feel like looking around for it. I can post a pic on racesimcentral if you're interested.:) To Steve Lane - I repainted your car without asking you, but I did post a note about it on the racesimcentral board, and you never responded. To Greg Lyle - I started a repaint of your car, but you only showed up for (I think) one race, so I stopped working on it. I re-did the Van Halen logo on the hood and outlined the numbers in yellow to help them stand out a bit more. I also changed the "Mean Street" and "Play Fast" text to green to help it stand out better against the red. I was puzzl;ing over the best way to simulate the album cover you were using when I decided to stop. I can post a pic of what I have so far on racesimcentral if you're interested. To anyone I've done cars for (auhorized or not), the PSP files are available if you want them. -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Barbarian Diecast Collector (490+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

There are no strict paint rules, the only rules is about the numbering, John is just a bit anal about how a Nascar Cup car should be painted, so if he doesn't like the paint scheme you're running, he will redo it on his own machine so it looks the way he wants them to look And since John is a very talented car painter (I can't believe I just said that as it's not like his ego needs inflating) some people adopt his "alternative" paint jobs over their own Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/ "A man is only as old as the woman he feels" --Groucho Marx--

I don't think the painting rules are all that strict, and in fact only deals with the car numbers - They have to be large enough to be seen, have to be in three spots (both sides and the back), and be contrasty enough with the paint scheme to be seen. Beyond that, we don't need any childish crap like nudity, cuss words, or otherwise provocative text on the car. I don't that's restrictive at all. Beyond that, I *personally* believe that a stockcar should look like a stockcar - not a rally car, not a drag racer, or anything else. With all the other impurities and mistakes in the game, I want as much immersion as possible where the appearance of the cars is concerned (and I don't think that's a lot to expect, and it's certainly easy to address). Now, having said that, it's plainly obvious (to me, anyway) that several people hastily painted a car for use in RASCAR. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that, especially if it meets the painting specs mentioned in the first paragraph. Those are the cars I started with, and there's a few more I intend on re-painting (for my own use) and that I will subsequently offer to the people that drive them. If they don't want them (and it's happened a couple of times), it won't bother me it the least because I can still use my version of their car on my system. Remember, I'm not doing this to piss anyone off - I'm doing it for my own edification (usually because I'm bored) and then offering up the results to the people who drive the cars I repaint. I try to make each repaint unique while keeping the original theme (if any) and basic colors in mind. The only reason I started re-painting yours, Greg, was because I could hardly see the number. In the process, I decided to repaint the whole car but like I said, you never raced with us (or only raced once), so I lost interest. However, if you'd like the hand-made van halen logo I did, you're welcomed to it (it's a vector image in PSP format for easy modification). :) -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 RASCAR Roster http://www.paddedwall.org/rascar Barbarian Diecast Collector (490+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================
