------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a reworked version of the HPDC V8 2005 mod. Then it was
merged with the MMM V8 Supercars 2006 mod.

This mod represents the HPDC V8 Supercar 2005 championship and the
2002,2003,2005,2006 V8 Supercars seasons.

Many cars are missing but this is because Codemasters games featured
at most only 21 cars on track.

The mod contains a bonus car #328 which was contained in an
hidden folder. Probably the Australian version of TRD3 starts the
career mode using that car instead of a DTM car.

---About v1.0:
When I started this mod (years ago), I had many troubles with the
Ford Falcon AU. Recently the EEC member stimpy found the trick to
bypass the problem (renaming the hdc file).

So I restarted the conversion and the result was the v1.0 of this mod.

At the beginning I thought that two cars were identical to the ones in
the MMM V8 SC 2006 mod so I copied them. So I converted only two new
cars: Ford Falcon AU and Holden Commodore VX.

Later Alexmezza fixed some errors on the Ford Falcon AU in v1.0.
Thank you alex!

---About v2.0:
Recently the V8 Supercars fever has "infected" me and v2.0 has started
its progress.

The 2002-2003 cars have been converted from the files provided by
nospheratez, while the 2005 cars come from a skinpack released at
nogrip by simza88.

The Ford Falcon AU from TRD1 showed in game as Ford Falcon AU 2000.
This car was very low poly and it was a big mess when I extracted it.
Luckily I managed to convert the skins in later versions.

Finally I understood the small differences between Holden Commodore VY
and Holden Commodore VZ. Editing here and there, pasting this and that
from the original TRD3 files, we got a VY from the MMMV8's VZ.

Since Falcon AU, Commodore VX and Commodore VY are older models than
Falcon BA and Commodore VZ, I decreased the power of their engines
by 10 hp (5 hp for VY).

As last I fixed some errors here and there, and I merged the
MMM V8 Supercars mod and the HPDC V8 2005 mod.
I've edited the classes and now here is the final result.

Then I perceive that HPDC V8 2005 was a wrong name for this mod.
"V8 Supercars 2000s" mod was the right name because we have every car
for the 2000-2007 years.

---About v2.60:
An update was needed for this mod, so I started to work slowly on a new
version and with the help of the people listed in the above credits,
I have been able to complete it.

-What remains to do? What can be done?:
1) Painting the last skins for 2002 (I have few photos, PM me)
2) Painting any missing car from 2005, 2006 V8 supercars (if any)
3) Painting any car from HPDC, V8 super2, Dunlop Series or whatever
  name has the privateers championship...
4) Paint the seasons 2003 and 2004 or any special round livery
(2003 season is WIP at the moment of this release)
5) Painting 2007-2008 Ford Falcon BF (is the almost the same car)
6) Waiting for the AMSMA team's mod(they are working on a 1992-2002 mod)

YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CONVERT THIS MOD TO ASSETTO CORSA TO MAKE MONEY.
DISTRIBUTE IT FREELY LIKE ME ;-)

Feel free to update/upload/use parts of this mod.
Feel free to do what you want with this car. Any improvement is welcome.
You can post the link to the cars and/or release them everywhere.

"""DELETE ANY OLDER VERSION OF THIS MOD BEFORE INSTALLING IT"""

------------------------------------------------------------------------
GDB INFO:

The filter for every car in this mod is V8SC_HPDC2005, V8SC_02,
V8SC_03, V8SC_05 or V8SC_06 (it depends from the real championship
of the car).

------------------------------------------------------------------------
SKINS INFO:
The cars are not painter-friendly but there are templates for those who
have enough passion to try to paint something.
There is a genstring help at the top of each .cas file.
Despite the templates have a large resolution (2048x2048), I strongly
recommend to resize your DDS to 512x512. Believe me, is enough!
These are the textures:

BODY1   -  CAR PARTS [DXT1]
BODY2   -  CAR PARTS [DXT1]
WINDOWS -  WINDOWS [DXT5]
CPIT01  -  CAR PARTS [DXT1]
CPIT02  -  CAR PARTS [DXT1]
CPIT03  -  front lights glass [DXT5]

MANUFACTURERS = FALCON_AU, HOLDENVX, Ford_Falcon_BA, Holden_VY, Holden_VZ

If you select a ford falcon au, it will have flat shading and black windows but if you select a commodore vx, it works normally. There must be a wrong texture or material setting in the ford falcon au. I don't understand what is causing the flat shading.

Well, the material parameters was a big mess !!!

Here is the car now with new setting, 3D and textures updated :

I also fixed some little issues on physics...

Excellent job alex. Can you please share the link?

Yes it was a mess for two reasons, it was one of my first conversions and I don't remember the 50% of things that I knew when I was an active modder (3 years ago). It's hard to remember how I did….

Fix and improve whatever you like. The mod isn't perfect and this is what I want.

thanks a lot for the mod

New version!

Thanks alexmezza

Thank you ...that's a massive improvement !

Thank you Giovanni, it's nice to see those older V8 in GTR2 and thanks to Alex too for the update.

Thanks! Happy New Year!

Thanks for sharing!
Though i am facing a small problem with the motecs in both FORDs... while driving in Cockpitview they are "flashing", means appearing and disappearing.. anybody else? Is there an easy to do fix for it? Thanks in advance!

I have just thrown together a rough template for the AU Falcon

No mesh layer and basic details.

For me, Motec works properly in both cars, so I don't know exactly what's your problem...

The only time I had the Motec vanish was because of the seating position being to far back
