Is the Darkside model replacing Thumper? As in Thumper's speed/armor/special? Or does it have its own stats? - either way that a huge step - I remember posters talking about getting darkside and pitviper as well as implementing tm1 levels in tm2 back on the old TMA website.
As of now it only replaces the model. So it still has the same stats as Thumper. Some time I'll look into changing the stats. I might actually have it replace Shadow.

Delete all Twisted Metal 2 registry entries.
Also, if you can, and if your model editor supports it and such. Is it possible to look at full levels, if not, will it soon?
I tried looking at levels but they're much more complicated than the cars. It can render the outline of the the map made out of points on the screen but it can't render them with polygons and textures. I don't know how long it would take for me to get the program to render them.
Also thanks for the registry fix.
As for the Darkside mod, I finished the low detail model so it won't turn into Thumper's model when it's far away. I'm still trying to get the damage model to work correctly. I should be able to have Darkside appear in the vehicle selection screen as well. After I finish porting Darkside I should be able to port some other TM1 cars.
I tried out Crimson Fury and so far it's basically the same process as porting Darkside.
I still need to fix the transparency issue. Are there any texture modders still around?
