Lukas. I'd very much appreciate a copy of your Harley Davidson. My remake is based on the Harley Davidson Fatboy 2003, whose original name was recorded by Learnout and Hospy or something, and which, when I remade it, was recorded using dec-talk.
Valiant, your top speed site is down, no longer working, non-functional, etc. Corey, having custom cars in multiplayer creates a huge problem, as people could design custom cars to go with custom tracks that would make them unbeatable, to paraphrase the developers themselves. Also, many of the custom cars I've run across would become hot stuff, with people manipulating numbers to get the perfect car, rather than playing each car with its specific limitations. Perhaps there could be two types of multiplayer, one with custom enabled, one with custom disabled. I don't know how the multiplayer code works, but it may be that every client has to have any vehicle used, in which case you'd have to prepare the people you're playing with, or set it up so that a check is run to make sure that every file is the same, so that you're not running with two different cars under the same name, which might cause problems. Hope this helps.
