So Donut Mod is apparently coming out this Saturday. It'd probably make an interesting blind race. Anyone want to do this sometime over the weekend or early next week?

I would be up for this. Am I right in thinking these mods only need you to use the mod launcher and not actually modify the game files themselves?

I would love to, just need to know how to install the mod.

PieTurtle, head here: http://beta.donutteam.com/downloads You'll need to download Lucas' Mod Launcher (as well as donut mod itself, which will turn up on that page, presumably). You might need to make an account on the site too.

Only thing to note: There are two versions of the Hit & Run exe, and the mod launcher only works with one of them. It didn't work with mine, so I had to download another one (just the .exe) to replace it. I'm not sure why this is, but I've not had any trouble with it once I got it set up.

I actually use the FairLight EXE for mine (just for No-CD use), and I can confirm that one works for the mod launcher. You can find it on GameCopyWorld if you need it.

I actually use the mod launcher when normally running the game, obviously unticking the "mod" box first. I do this because it fixes the windowed mode and automatically makes the game run on 1 core so the loads actually work correctly.

There's several EXEs for this game actually, far more than two. Lucas has to hack these separately to support them, but here's the list of which ones are supported: The Original English .exe The Cracked English .exe The Vivendi Best Seller Series .exe The Original French .exe The Cracked French .exe The Cracked German .exe The Cracked Spanish .exe The Demo .exe

We don't have the uncracked German or Spanish release which is why they're not supported, but everything else (even the obscure demo release that only supports 3 missions) should be.

Semi-related question: is it possible to still source the demo version from anywhere? I've always been curious about that "version", but haven't had any luck in finding it.

EDIT: By which I mean the full demo of course, not just the EXE.

I only have the .exe, I'm not sure where to find the entire thing.

i would definitely be up for doing thiis. Most times should work for me.

So I can't do Sunday night. I'm good Monday or Tuesday nights though. In general I can't stream until about 10.45 GMT ish, but I'm happy to start earlier and just local record (or start a bit later or whatever)

What exactly does this mod do? i'm down to race it

Monday or Tuesday any time works for me.

OK, I managed to get the mod working. How to we organise things such as times and skype? We will have to take into account different time zones.

I just tested the mod as well and it's super easy to get working and such, so no one should really have any issues, although I can help them if need be.

Seems like Monday is a good date for everyone here, we'll have to figure out a time we can all do. For me, any time is good as long as it's not too late (UK time of course).

The new mod launcher also includes some really interesting hacks; I'm gonna make another thread on that though.

Ok, I suggest we aim to start at 10.45pm GMT, Monday night. If that's too late for you Zoton, we'll move earlier (though bear in mind only the first two levels of the mod are done, so we'll presumably be fairly quick).

Saiyanz, the mod just changes up a bunch of things. The missions will be somewhat different, they've altered textures, moved cards and wasps (and maybe boxes), and probably fiddled with car stats and things.

Yeah I could probably do it then, seeing as it's not gonna take hours (hopefully).

I suppose if you guys are doing this soon I'll try and get the patch out that fixes a few issues before then.

I should be all good for that time and date.

I'm excited to see this guys! I just released a new patch for the mod that you might want to snag before you all get started on this. You can find it at the Donut Mod website.

Donut Mod Wesbite

Thanks for releasing that update just for us. Kappa

In regards to the multi-twitch thing, do you mean all streams on one stream? If so no, we'll all just be streaming the game separately, but you could something like http://speedrun.tv/ to view us all at once when we actually do the race.

To the others: are we gonna do a Skype call for this? I hope so.

By the way, if you guys want somewhere to talk on the SpeedRunsLive IRC, I own the #simpsons channel. Could make things like this a bit easier if you just want to talk without having to post a thread.
