Post your need for madness cars!

[dragos240]

For those of you that don't know this fantastic game, you can download it at arcadetown, problem is you will need wine and firefox running in wine to download it, it is an exe, but it extracts a java game, i am going to post a tarball containing the game, no wine is required here:
dragos240.000hosted.com/nfm.tar.gz (http://www.dragos240.000hosted.com/nfm.tar.gz)

so you can customize a lot of things, post your different custom cars here!

I can't get it to work. I've tried:


java -jar ./nfm/mad.jar

If this isn't correct, please let me know what I'm doing wrong.

EDIT: I forgot to add the error I get when I type that command. Here it is:


Invalid or corrupt jarfile mad.jar

I should tell you that need for madness has to be run via internet browser, use the nfm.html instead.

I still can't get 'er to work. It just freezes when I press up to accelerate. Any suggestions on how to force it into submission?

You can customize the cars now? Last time I played that, it was at least four years ago, and it didn't have that feature. If I remember correctly, that game has absolutely fantastic music.

The downloadable version has text files that you can edit. It's not a feature of the game, it's more like hacking.

Okay, can you use other java applets? And is your jre at it's latest version? If it isn't try to upgrade.

You can, you can edit the tracks, cars, sprites, and even reverse engineer some models! Just google need for madness hacks and you'll get quite a few youtube videos.

Sorry for the reviving a 2 year old. But that link's broke, so I've tried downloading it from elsewhere, but I can't get it to run? How would I go about doing it? Thanks in advance.
