Knight Rider Project for NFS

Post by KARR_Knight » Fri Apr 08, 2005 6:13 pm

Hi, i just registered today & im glad to see others that are into Knight Rider to this day as i am. Why i posted is to show that i am working on a mod for NFS4 that will convert it to a true Knight Rider game because i am terribly disappointed with the Daxilex games. There is still much work to be done but i have the base models & textures done because that is my strong point. If anybody doesnt have NFS4 or cant find it i have a working copy of it that can be sent to you along with the models if you would like to drive around as KITT or KARR to test the cars out when they are finished later tonight. I going to make all versions of KITT & KARR including season 1,2,3 & 4 KITT with convertible & KARR with solid black & a black & grey paint scheme. All dash boards will be accurate with functions. I also have a bunch of video & pics if anyone is interested. Here are some pics of the base model for KITT & KARR is just needs to be put back together, the textures are finished though, I will post ingame pics later on tonight. I would like to see this website host this mod.

Welcome to the board. :) That's some fine modeling there. As for the game, I'm not sure but wouldn't you have to get a license from Universal to distribute it?

What ray tracer to you use? Or is Zanoza modeler it? I have POVRay and Simply 3D 3 on my system. I don't do much computer 3D stuff though.

I'd say you got a good start. I think one other person was modeling KITT in some program as well.

Why would i need a license to make a mod for game. I make mods for Star Wars games as do a million others & you dont need a license for that & thier availible for download on a bunch of mod websites, so i dont think Universal would mind at all or even care. Im also adding the Knight 4000 also.

I was thinking of installing nfs 4 on my new pc to test my new 356mb geforce card and i know theres a website with like 20 kitt models for nfs games.I can't find it but I would love to see your version of kitt for the game.A mini level to test the game out would be great for me.I also want to know ever think of converting the car for grand theft auto vice city?

Here is a teaser pic of KARR during testing his scanner sound is awesome, And Knight Racer that site you are refering to has been hacked, plus those models were dated.

Can you make a version that has the scanner off and the modulator in kitts dahs blank.Call it the Knight 2000 off.I kind of liked to think that kitt was cool even if it didnt have a personality or maybe kitt was shut down and beeing brought back to the foundation for reprograming.I know it sounds weird but I always thought of kitt as very cool.But always thought what would hapen if the car never had a personality.

Well, if KITT didn't have his personality, he just wouldn't be KITT. That is what made him KITT was his personality. :)

KARR_Knight that is a cool model! I see you went with season 1. I loved the 3rd Season KARR best myself. You did great on the interior on this, btw. Very nicely detailed!

Some pics of KARR cruising at night. This is season 3 KARR FuzzieDice. Pics of season 1 & 2 KITT coming next. Did KITT have 4 or 6 fog lights during the beginning of season 2? Because i know he had 4 towards the the middle of it.

Now that were talking about adding kitt into our favorite car games.I found this 2004 firebird but when you make it black theres no shine.Maybe someone can add a scanner change the license plate,add a season 4 dash?I would love that.

Ill take all the pics you have, Thanks. I have a working version of nfs4 thats only 142MB i can send it to you with one of my KR cars over msn messenger to test them out if you like.
