Merry Christmas !12/16/99
Sorry Christmas is almost at our door and this is keeping me busy, i mean from my work too. But stay tuned, i still keep some secrets feature that will come in DMC as soon as i can. If you are a Driver Site owner, i would invite you to Join the Driver Fan Web Ring... The more we are the funniest it is ! I have also put up a poll , these questions will change from times to times and will have more 'on purpose' question. If you have two seconds left, just vote. Have fun !12/8/99
I have change the layout of the DMC Forum, i was even confused myself as the subjects where classified in ascending order, now they are easier to follow.
I have also added a couple of tips in the How To section of the Online Manuals.
You will find a mission called twowheel in the Missions Sections. This one is intended for those who want to try driving on two wheel, the mission start in San Francisco, all you have to do is try to stay the longer you can on two wheel after you take the jump from the Sand bump (straight ahead). Someone on the GTI Forum told me he was able to do it 8 seconds. For my part, i can't do it more than 3 seconds. Can you beat us ?12/5/99
Now with DMC 3.08. Added 26 new commands for DMC. Take a look at the ModelBonus commands, you get the list of all models in a levels. It was also kind of fun to hit tables and get time credited. Hope this will give you some idea for future missions :). The chopper is also added, anyway this time you've got a lot of new interesting commands . Enjoy ! Look the puppy dog :)12/1/99
I was not able to send the NewsLetter for DMC 3.07 , the server was down. I apologize for the inconvenient.11/30/99
DMC 3.07 comes with 12 new commands out of the 80 Scripts commands added lately in the Online Manual. There are more to come, Stay tuned. It also contains the Updated Help Manual and a couple of bugs correction.11/25/99
I have noticed some strange effect when viewing this page and the Online Manual with Netscape, i have made some correction, for now only the Tree menu in the Online Manual still does not open or close.
11/21/99
More than 80 Scripts commands have been added in the 'Scripts commands Manual'. You might want to take a look at the online manuals. DMC will be adjusted for those new commands in the next release. In the meantime, you can edit all of those commands with the F3 Key (Edit as Text) in the Advanced editor.11/19/99
A new mission has been added. Take a look in the Missions section.11/16/99
I have added a 'How To' Chapter in the Online Manual, it is a kind of FAQ, so look to it from times to times.11/14/99
I have change the layout a bit as you may have noticed, everything is still there, use the menu on the right to go to other section.11/13/99
The DMC Manual is now OnLine, click the 'OnLine Manuals' link in the Index Menu. The interface for the OnLine manuals will be reworkded on a later date to provide a better interface, but for now, i thinks it is not so bad, have fun.11/13/99
The Help manual is finally done, so here its is : DMC V3.06. There are still some commands missing, they will be joined to DMC and the Manual in the next release. But for now, you got all the commands that are recognized by DMC, plus a couples of mores if you look carefully. If you find any syntaxical error, please leave me an e-mail, i will correct them.
11/13/99
If like me you were too busy, maybe you haven't seen that Driver HQ as re-open this 10 th, it is a must see.
11/10/99
The Help manual is going faster than i had thinking, expect a new release of DMC before this week-end.
11/8/99
Here is a preview of the help manual comming soon. Enjoy ![IMAGE REMOVED, SEE THE ON-LINE MANUAL INSTEAD]
11/6/99
I have added a new template "Second_Chance". It show you using the Label and Goto Command, how to get back the Felony rating to 0, after having escaped a pursuit from cops. There is also a new mission "Taxi Driver" in the Mission Share section. For those who don't know how to play it, simply download the mission, load it in DMC, then save it as mission95. Then Start Driver and play the Driving Game, Pursuit, Miami. Et Voila ! When you're done with it, simply select misison95 from the "Mission" menu, Mission Selection, then Select "Restore to default".
11/2/99
There is not so much thing new on this version, but i prefered to put it on the web anyway because i think it may interest some guys out there. There is of course still more to come, i am currently compiling a list of all commands on HTML format that will be the help document for DMC.
10/23/99
Finally, here it is, V3.04. The Mission Tree Editor enable you to change the order,delete, add missions of the Undercover mission, you can for sample remove the Interview (Test Car in parking), and of course you can put a full new bunch of missions. There is still lot of work to do, Help files will probably the next thing to do, I am also thinking of a simple way to quickly install new missions or a new set of missions. See whats new in the 'Whats New' section.
I'm sorry for the mailing List, at the time i published this the Mail server was down.
10/17/99
Sorry , i was not able to put DMC 3.04 on the web this week-end, i had an inflammation on my right Shoulder, and i was not able to do anything for 3 days now. I probably got that inflammatin when closing the top of my car, (i have probably done a bad movement with my arm) I should be back on the track in a couple of days. V3.04 is almost finished (begun before my infortunate adventure), it will allow you to remove then train (car park) test in the beginning of the Undercover missions.
10/13/99
You can Enable or disable all the cheats in Driver from the Tools Menu. Those cheats Enable you to bypass the Interview : when in the game Cheats Menu, select 'Skip the interview'. See the what 's new section.
10/8/99
V3.02 add a FlyBy Editor, it is not complete, however, you can edit or create new FlyBy. FlyBy's are the Camera movement (or Zooming) that occurs when a mission starts. If you tried to modify a missions with a map that did not fit into the camera positions you have surely seen the effect (car floating 15 feets over the road). If you want to remove this effect you can remove the Flyby on the FlyBy menu or edit it to give good positionning. As i said, the FlyBy editor will be completed later, for now, it will be a little tricky !
Those who downloaded V3.01 have surely noticed the 4 new buttons on the advanced editor and have surely noticed that they were doing nothing ! I'm sorry, but those were work in progress for V3.02. I have simply forgot to hide them before sending 3.01.
I was not able to identify the first missions (Parking Car TestDrive) in the Undercover missions, If someone know which mission it is, please let me know.
10/6/99
Per request, i have added a Mailing List for those who want to stay in touch with upcoming new release.
10/6/99
Some people have reported the message "You need the registered version of Driver" when running DMC. Please make sure you have the registered version of Driver. If you have the Driver Demo and want to take a look at DMC , please use DMC 2.07 which is available in the 'Previous Release' section.
Also new sounds and 1 mission have been added, take a look the mission share section and sounds Share section.
Thanks, and have fun !

DMC 3.00 is out ! There is so much work to do, and i got plenty of idea, expect other release to come soon. There is a lot of change in version 3.00. Take a look at the 'What's New section'. You can now start DMC with the Advanced Editor, just go in the preference menu and make your choice. The 'Simple Editor' is still there as it provide an easy way to do a mission quickly and need less knowledeg than the advanced Editor. I would suggest you begin by editing the mission95 which is the mission available in the menu "Driving Game " / "Pursuit" / "Miami 1". Other missions need other ajustement which are not yet provided in DMC 3.00 (but they will !). So for now, let's say you want to edit another mission (mission112 for sample), load mission112 then save it as mission95, Et Voila, You're all set ! . To play it, just start the mission "Driving Game / Pursuit / Miami 1 from Driver.
DMC 3.00 is for the registered version of Driver and therefore you will need the registered version of Driver, if you did not purchase it yet, i suggest you to do it right now.
Have Fun !
10/4/99
DMC 3.00 is almost finished, it is not yet on the web because there is still some point that i do not clearly understand in the Registered version . It should be out in a couple of days.

9/19/99
Version 2.05 is finally out and believe me , it was a lot of work ! There is still some changes to really complete the Advanced Editor and they will come out with future releases. But for now, i believe it is strong enough to put on the web for you to enjoy. You Can now save Multi-part missions from DMC, nothing will be lost. You may notice some difference betwen Saving from the first screen and the Advanced Editor, i will work on that. You can save from the Advanced Editor if you don't want this to happen.
How does it works ?
Simply Double-click on a line to change its property, or select an object from the list and drop it on the page.

Multi-Parts mission are not supported right now with DMC. So if you load a multi-part missions right now, when you will save them you will lose somes of the missions parts. This will be solved in future releases.
9/9/99

9/6/99
For those who unfortunatly did not see any changes applyed when modifying a mission, please make sure you have selected the mission661 from the mission menu. Hope it will help.
9/4/99
Some people have reported error when trying version 2.0 with the older Demo of Driver (The unnoficial), You should try with the latest Demo (The official) because V2.0 uses commands that where not available in the unnoficial demo. If you can't get the latest demo, get the version 1.10 in Previous Release section
9/4/99
A more detailed installation page have been added. I Hope it will help you. Also a new section have been added 'Mission Share' : if you got a mission that you think we might be interrested to play with, send it in for others to enjoy. Have fun !9/4/99
