New DD mod out now from another modder, with its own car model.

Alright.
Played it a lot now since your last update a month ago and I'm now able to make a nice feedback.
First, thanks a lot for letting us play with such a nostalgic vibe.
Like I said before, I haven't switched off this mod since I installed it this summer.

For the new addition, I think the new DD2 cars (Master, Pro, Chief and Rivit) are odd when compared to the others.
It's just their artwork that doesn't match the overall spirit of car designs.
I once tried to make fake artworks of how their car would look in a DD1 fashion. If you are interested I might share them.
The colour of their roof doesn't help to make them "DD1esque"

Now, I really like the AI of Master and Pro.
But I think you overpowered Chief (and Rivit) a bit too much.
In my mind, Master and Pro are very good contestant to the Skum in power of speed and skill. And although I appreciate the Chief very much, he is way too fast in comparison of the others.

For the additional cars (Alien, Blue Rinse and Vampire), it's really nice to see them in game. Although in my mind, Alien was like a second L-Driver, a bit better but slow paced as his begginer car would suggest.


Also, what do you think about the idea of having the 4 DD2 cars with new (but faithful) graphics and with the purple roof colour that was used in early version of the game (and seen in old screeshots) ?

Again, thanks a lot for what you did.

Haha Great mod. I managed to record the voices from destruction derby recently. Here's a taste: "stay off my back!" https://drive.google.com/file/d/1U22JGpWyz5_PKjgbJ4DZBgMgQhce_qDa/view?usp=share_link

"Watch those barriers, they'll only slow you down"

Oh and 2 player split screen of course

And the sayings of course, by the narrator and the drivers! “You’ve blown your radiator”
“You’ll regret that!” Lol

Me too, if only we had the 90s techno music and the flat narrow tracks to go with it.

This brings back Childhood Memories
Great Mod my Dude <3

Updated:
Added Alien, Blue Rinse and Vampire to be used by player and AI

I will try that tomorrow =)
Thanks for being so reactive.

Thanks I found them, yeh i didn’t know about them, I will add them to my to do list.
Hope you enjoy the new 24 car Ai set

https://destructionderby.fandom.com/wiki/Alien
https://destructionderby.fandom.com/wiki/Vampire
https://destructionderby.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Rinse

Vampire, Alien and Blue Rinse were player 2 cars on PSX when played by cable
They were Alternate designs on DOS.

Updated:

Ai characters are now even more true to the original game with the fast guys racing clean and the wreckers ramming more often.
Added the 4 new drivers from DD2 to be used by player and AI and created a new AI set for a full grid of 24 including these new drivers.

Thanks

I have added master, pro, chief and rivit to the car set, also I have created an “extra Ai” Ai set which can have 23 Ai including them, the new DD2 drivers are also selectable by the player.
I’ll look into adding the link cable 2 player cars at a later date as it would take time.

Ahh I found them
They were liveries for player 2 only when using link cable multiplayer modes, I can put them in.

I could make a DD1 vs DD2 mod and assign every player car and Ai car from both games into one set, so players can use any car with less chance of seeing the same car driven by Ai.
Again a lot of work but would Be cool

I also want to make smashed rear lights for the damaged livery, so that when the rear gets hit the lights look smashed, it’ll take some time but it’s on my to do list for both DD1 and DD2 mods

Thanks I’m glad you’re enjoying it, it’s my child hood too.
Yes I can do that, it’s very easy for me to add those cars from my DD2 mod into DD1 and create a seperate Ai set called “extra opponents” or something.

I don’t remember vampire, blue rinse etc, I use to have it on PlayStation 1.

I was actually about to update this with edits to the Ai behaviour, making the fast guys race clean and the wreckers ram more for even more nostalgia. I’ve finished the edits but I’ll hold the update back until I’ve finished the new Ai set including the DD2 characters you mentioned.

Thanks

Amazing mod.
So amazing that I can't take it off and only play with it now (powered with the reminiscence of my youth and the hours spent on DD1).


Yet it's near perfect.
What would make it perfect ?
Well... It still misses the 3 alternate deliveries (Vampire, Blue Rinse and Alien)


And as they can be 24 cars in Wreckfest.
Do you think we can put the new DD2 drivers in this pack with awesome new designs made for DD1 ?
I'm quite serious and willing to edit graphically them (Master, the Pro, the Chief and Rivit) if it can help (I already have ideas in my mind).

Anyway, thanks a lot for creating this mod.

Thank you very much I’m glad you enjoy it.
I will be improving both DD mods soon, as I have fixed racefest mod I can apply clean racing and even more aggressive behaviour to each character, making it even more true to the original games.
I’m just finishing rallycross mod and I’ll be onto it next.

trying to get rid of a phantom comment.
Love this mod, by the way.

Grazie :)

ottimo

Tell him they must be easy because they are flat and short tracks and we need them for DD1 mod :D

Sorry track link is in DD2 mod, so click the link above for DD2 and in that description you’ll find the tracks link

No sorry it’s only a car pack, it has all the Ai characters with different driving styles like the original game and player cars with different power levels.
Also the official 19 car Ai set.
There are a few DD2 tracks in the very track pack that is linked in description above, but no DD1 tracks, I have asked him, get over there and nag him lol
Thanks
