Need For Speed: SHIFT & SHIFT 2 Unleashed

[banger]

-8-
for me the menus are a pain with the steering wheel. has it keeps flipping if the wheel is moved,and the cursor keeps scrolling around,try it on the replay section.move wheel all the way left/right and watch the annoying cursor flip between options and is it really necessary for the silly clicking sound?

apart from that pet-peeve,all is okay,there some guys looking into the ai.
i wouldn't know about such things i still working on newbie level. hehe

Anach, just wanted to say thanks for all your mods - along with the Real Mod 2.0b, they've made Shift enjoyable for me. One request re: the campaign mod - as you already alluded to - the double laps let you rack up points even faster, which seems like it'll make you level up twice as fast. Once you get that sorted, this mod'll be absolutely perfect.

 

[Greg Pugliese]

If I've unpacked, I can't use Injector-fed mods?

Is that correct? If so, seems like modders ought to agree on how they want to release their mods, because already it seems we're having to choose between "unpacked-required" and "packed-required" mods, e.g. I've got the track objects removal mod installed (which requires unpacking) but now it seems I can't install Anach's No Starting Lights mod, as it requires packed files.

Mod request: less head movement?

First off, thank you, modders, for all the excellent mods that have patched Shift up to a more respectable state.

One of the last big things bothering me is the seemingly excessive head movement while in cockpit view; it becomes distracting to me, having the car bounce around my line of sight quite so much. If the head bouncing could be dropped by say, half, that would seem much more reasonable.

So, any enterprising modder wanna try to tackle this one? Please?

 

[Greg Pugliese]

Just to add another data point to the discussion - I bound a key on my Xbox360 wheel to handbrake and pressing it on starting a race lets me skip the intro sequence.

 

[Anach]

Oh yes i have noticed that effect. I'll look for it when I'm next playing with the files.

Great mod! But I wish to have new cam in replay? How it to make?

 

[Anach]

I was playing with the point allocation last night, and have simply doubled the requirement for each level at this stage to make sure it works ok. When I get home this evening, ill average up the races and see what I end up with at the end of each tier, as currently I have no real idea of how many points an average player will end up with at the end of each tier. If i'm happy with the numbers, ill upload it tonight.

OMG! Great job, japamd!

May I ask you: can we expect in a future (near or far) universal toolbox with all your tools, like TDU Modding Tools or something?

Thanks!

I can't tell about that because I never heard about TDU modding tools... I've created those tools in my spare time so if I got enough time maybe I can think about something more organized.

Good news about the installer/uninstaller, got it working on two mods, my own campaign mod and AsBest's Wipeout mod, the installer is installing (duh) and reverting all changes made by itself!

BTW, great job on Wipeout mod, your efforts on changing thousands of files are very impressive!

Some screenshots

Installation done!

Files created by the installer for uninstall

Running the installer when the mod is already installed gave us this

Uninstall sucess!

theres too many variables greg, best bet is to unpack the game and tweak it yourself, its really easy once you get to know where things are.

theres a cameraconfig.xml in the cameras folder right under the root of the installed folder. you basically edit it with a word editor like notepad, and you got lines like

<prop name="HeadPhysicsScale" data="2;1;2" />

you just basically decrease those numbers to decrease the head movement and youll end up with a setting to your liking.

Here's some testing, installed Wipeout mod from Arachnus using the new installer, played a bit, then uninstalled the mod using the installer restoring the game to the previous state.

And this is my own campaign mod (more laps per race)
First career mode race (from 2 to 6 laps)

I'll be re-releasing that mod in unpacked state, which will allow people to choose to use it unpacked, or use it in an injector. Id forgot about that mod, until you reminded me just now.

Unfortunately I was having issues with injector based mods, and my campaign mod causes nasty issues when used with the latest injector, so I reverted back to unpacked state for now.

It's only early days yet, and the tools are all new and still being developed, so i'm sure as time goes on, we will settle into a standard format, which will most likely be the packed version, as its easier to manage.

*edit* the new file has been uploaded. It can be used unpacked (i recommend the generic mod installer), or you can package it yourself to use with an injector.

Anach's No On-screen Starting lights 1.1 has been updated!

Yes, the best keyboard setting is buying a steeringwheel
