Yes, that is right, the famous Showroom Challenge from the times of Need for Speed Underground and Underground 2 that ultimately gave two biggest giveaways in NFS fansite history, TuningChallenge and TuningChallenge2, has returned to the Showroom and is now also available for Need for Speed Carbon in the form of duels.

There are few new rules: they are only possible in the Classic categories (not just for Carbon, but for all games from Underground on) which have strict rules for entries (unedited garage or ingame screenshots); the second rule is that duels are only possible between the same car model, which basically means a Lancer can only duel other Lancers. This is to ensure that the person who modified the car best, wins.

To see the latest Carbon duels, go <a href="http://www.nfsunlimited.net/?p=sr_cat&id=18">here</a> and if you're interested in starting a duel yourself, <a href="http://www.nfsunlimited.net/?p=src_duel_start">here</a> is the direct link. You'll also find the start duel link in your profile, a little below your avatar.

This is the first step in making Showroom Challenge into what it was - the next step will of course be the real themed challenges, which went by the name SRChallenge Classic. Stay tuned.

I noticed the lay-out has changed a bit, but the 'Profile' button is linked wrong! I directs us to Bojan's profile

.

PS. I didn't know where to post it..

The finished duels are not working properly. It's still showing the arrows and if you press either one of them it gives you an error: duel not found.

I'd rather see the end result of the duel

I also discovered a bug with the end of duel email system.

I received an email saying, "Bad luck, you lost a duel" but the car it linked to was my opponent's ride...

Even more interestingly, my opponent's ride then made it into the top 3 with only a few views, no favourites and one vote.

I fixed the message bug, thanks for reporting.

For the duel rep: your entry 17414 did not receive any rep from the duel.

The only rep you got was from

(user_id / entry_id / type)

Code: Select all

another problem;

you no longer get the message next to inbox letting you know if and how many new messages. that was really helpful.

good work so far Bojan, though i see quite a lot of 'non-classic' entries

Now just gotta get me image editing software installed so I can start filling my showroom up. Apparently even if you set your game settings brightness to 100% windows still makes image impossible to view.

p.s. No Eclipses this time i hope
