Thomas, You could make the car specifications customizable like what has been done with designing levels in lone woolf. My vote is for avoiding copyright issues so leave realism in terms of names up to the gamer. Pranav --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the

Hi Thomas, When I listen to NASCAR on TV the more play by play the better, and they do do a pretty good job of it. However when I used to drive I very much disliked a back seat driver telling me what was going on around me. Other than when asked for that is. Guess that is why I used sounds

Hi Dark, HWhile I had hoped to avoid using Sapi support in Raceway it does make sense under the circumstances. As I see it what you are suggesting is that I save the games data in a text or xml file that can be edited by hand in notepad. When loaded all of the driver, car, and track

Hi William, Smile. I'm well aware of that. What I was thinking, as has been suggested, is some way of adding on this stuff after the game is purchased/downloaded. That way the game itself can't be touched on the additional content. So assuming I used Dark's Sapi idea I could provide an xml

Hi Jim, Smile. Definitely couldn't forget any of them. Mark Martin has had a very kick butt season so far, and Jimmie Johnson is right behind him in the stats for this week. That's the kind of racing I get into, and why I hope to make Raceway as much like pro racing as possible. One of the

Hi Gary, Yeah, good point. One easy way to accomplish what you suggest is simply to use the drivers' last name such as Gordon, Johnson, Stewart, Martin, whatever. Any Nascar fan worth his sault will pretty much know who and what I mean, but it is technically not in violation of copyright law.

Hi Charles, As far as fictitious names goes I think going with last names would work for two reasons. First, most first names have alternative spellings and nicknames attached. A name like Shaun can be spelled like Shaun, Shawn, or Sean, and a name like Richard can be nicknamed Rich, Rick,

Hi Milos, Yeah, that looks like what I'm going to do given the feedback on this subject. In truth it is sort of fun being able to play with character and team names making up your own game so to speak. I've done it often enough in Jim's Baseball game, and I have had some pretty funny games

My two cents worth. I think this is a good idea, and I would have the program generate xml files of the names, so folks could share them easily. this would make it super easy to get around any copyright crap, as a third party could create a realistic .xml for each season and share it with
