Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

[willow herald]

this is the stock career mode cobalt, any ideas what can I do to fix this?

[vernal ermine]

You can use USD Composer to set the car color

[willow herald]

Damn, so that what was done to get the results on Yt video.
I've gotten the Omniverse USD Composer, but how do I connect it to speed.exe?

Also, amazing work, thank You so much, You're a legend

[vernal ermine]

Drag the mod.usda into the layers and then drag a capture in

Sorry MW is kinda on the backburner, so it's not cooked very well.

[willow herald]

I'd say it's near perfect if cars get figured out and the random sun from the ground

which mod.usda and into layers where? 😄

NFSMW.usd into where?

[vernal ermine]

Oh I have the usd in there?

[vernal ermine]

Just open that up in OV and add a capture to it

[willow herald]

when game is running?

and I'd have to create a local nucleus first, right?

[vernal ermine]

Nope no need to have the game running. No need for nucleus ether

[willow herald]

amazing, thank You

been waiting a few minutes on this lol

[vernal ermine]

I've had it hang on that step. I forget what I ended up doing

[willow herald]

just wait till its done

finished now

but I think the main issue could be the paths issue

and something wrong with car.dds perhaps? I'm using rtx-remix 0.3.0

so maybe its too new and causing issues

[vernal ermine]

You can remove any reference to that, it's unused

mat_DE14B914E3B3477E is the car mat

Line 6749 in mod.usda

Can set the RGB values directly there

        {
            over "Shader"
            {
                color3f inputs:diffuse_color_constant = (0.99607843, 0.57254905, 0.13725491) (

                        float3 default = (0.2, 0.2, 0.2)
                        dictionary range = {
                            float3 max = (1, 1, 1)
                            float3 min = (0, 0, 0)
                        }
                    }
                    displayGroup = "Diffuse"
                    displayName = "Albedo Base Color"
                    doc = """The base albedo color to use if no texture is specified"""
                    hidden = false
                    renderType = "color"
                )
                asset inputs:diffuse_texture = @@ (
                    doc = """The texture specifying the albedo value and the optional opacity value to use in the alpha channel"""
                    hidden = false
                    renderType = "texture_2d"
                )
                float inputs:metallic_constant = 0.19 (
                    doc = """Metallic Material"""
                    hidden = false
                )
                float inputs:reflection_roughness_constant = 0.049999997 (
                    doc = """Higher roughness values lead to more blurry reflections"""
                    hidden = false
                )
            }
        }```

[willow herald]

got it, is there some way to set it as the default cobalt color?

as I imagine having the right colors set automatically is not currently possible?

[vernal ermine]

You can try removing the color section and see if it sticks to what the car has

So it'd be:

        {
            over "Shader"
            {
                asset inputs:diffuse_texture = @@ (
                    doc = """The texture specifying the albedo value and the optional opacity value to use in the alpha channel"""
                    hidden = false
                    renderType = "texture_2d"
                )
                float inputs:metallic_constant = 0.19 (
                    doc = """Metallic Material"""
                    hidden = false
                )
                float inputs:reflection_roughness_constant = 0.049999997 (
                    doc = """Higher roughness values lead to more blurry reflections"""
                    hidden = false
                )
            }
        }

[vernal ermine]

Ah yea it doesn't keep the color :/

[willow herald]

when I go freeroam and back inside then I get this

but i think its because of the error, so it goes into rasterization of car instead

hence the fullbright kind of effect

[vernal ermine]

Oh that's from the hash changing on the car paint

Try going in and out of the garage, sometimes it fixes it

[willow herald]

in garage

still black

[vernal ermine]

You can always do a capture and just add the color. The car textures get baked at times which causes them to become different

[willow herald]

maybe we could then disable texture baking for cars?

[vernal ermine]

Or hover over the car's texture, and change the mat hash for the car paint to it

[willow herald]

I saw some option like this in the guis

but it was disable baking of all things of some kind, not per texture

[willow herald]

I can't quite select the material nor find the same hash

rear windshield mesh is also kind of all over the place

[vernal ermine]

You got it selected there

[willow herald]

and I think the sun from the ground is coming from the light sources such as top of the comms tower at police station, being at the wrong location

[vernal ermine]

The sun source isn’t tied to the actual games sun source

[willow herald]

I cant find material with id of mat_DE14B914E3B3477E

But I know what You meant by replacing the RGB values

[vernal ermine]

Welp as long as you write the material props ya want to the car you’re using, I’d say you’ve got it correct. There’s not a nice way to make car paint work tbh.

[willow herald]

I'd love to fix it properly but I've got no idea how

I just wrote 1 for r, 1 for g and 9 for blue

But I guess to get it working properly, we'd have to import all of the game car paint materials into rtx remix somehow?

or even convert them?

as I see that yes, now the material aligns with the mod, which is expected i guess

https://github.com/adamplayer/MostWantedRTX/issues/2

I've added my results to the issue on github, despite git lfs pull, but I suppose its a known bug then

That's what I get when editing the material of DE14B9..77E

So I guess the hash-generated paint color is just not implemented yet, hence WIP

Thank You so much Sir for Your help and Your work, along with helping me understand it all a bit more

[lunar schooner]

This is a problem that's been there as long as remix

No support for textures that bake on runtime

[woeful wagon]

Anyone else getting freezing and crashing on recent build?

[cedar plover]

Hello friends. Sorry if it seems like a noob question but... how to install this mod?

[paper rover]

download zip from github page:
https://github.com/adamplayer/MostWantedRTX
and unpack it into nfs mw folder

[cedar plover]

Really? That's all?

[paper rover]

on this site you have anticulling

but firts you need to download rtx-remix and remix-bridge and unpack it to nfs mw folder

first**

[cedar plover]

👍

I tried it and got a black screen with the rtx info on top left

[paper rover]

before install try to get lowest possible graphical settings

in the game

[vernal ermine]

You need git lfs

[paper rover]

cause rtx remix dont like high settings

[vernal ermine]

Don’t just download the repo and throw it into the game folder. There won’t be any textures

[paper rover]

maybe im wrong but for me this way it worked

i mean after bit of tinkering

but im not that much experienced in git so pardon me

[willow herald]

Now the MostWantedRTX repository of AdamPlayer is gone from github, which is very sad 😢

I was hoping that one day nvidia brings the rtx remix textures runtime baking and MostWantedRTX would be like cyberpunk

If it helps, I'd gladly write some simple .bat script which will pull the repo and lfs files also, so there wont be people asking the same thing over and over again

[vernal ermine]

I couldn’t keep the repo up without paying $5 a month

[willow herald]

oh damn

mega.co.nz or mediafire is an option

I think windows should have wget or curl by default built-in

I have both, not sure if its default

I could try to do something like this on my own, so I'd upload most of the heavy files to mediafire, then make a bat script that would pull from git and then download files to mediafire, to current dir

so the script would be copied into game dir and from there it would set it up

does it sound like a good idea, that could potentially might make You revisit this project? 🙂

I'd gladly use Your own repository, instead of having to make a fork of mine

I would just reupload large files elsewhere and pull them with a script, after having downloaded the core repo files

[hallow silo]

I'm already paying for hosting on github for U2 and Hitman 2, which is oversized for the projects atm. If you guys would like, I can host MW on my acct too

[vernal ermine]

I plan on doing so here eventually 👍

[nova heron]

Can someone send a link to the mod zip file pls i want to try it if possible! Thx for every body hard work!

[nova heron]

no link in pin ? and the github one is dead

[vernal ermine]

It’s on the todo list to get it uploaded 🫠

[nova heron]

ok thank i will wait 👍

[vale python]

just bought a physical copy of MW2005 on pc

i look forward to try this as well !

[vale python]

Link's dead.

Is this one good ? Doesn't look like a fork, yet adamplayer is still behind the commits

[vocal dome]

does remix support the black edition version of MW?

[vocal dome]

@vernal ermine is this how your assets should look?

[dark umbra]

Assets missing there, as far as i know you can't download his asset's now.

[vocal dome]

ok babe, thx ❤️

[dark umbra]

but here is link to the latest Adam stuff that i saved https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Cgkh-k9BqAiMAFmdiPqP0aJ73nznzljT/view?usp=drive_link

[vernal ermine]

All cars are orange cause I set them to be I forget which mat it is but it's the only one with a color declaration.

[vocal dome]

thanks man

i mean babe

almost all txtures are resolved but the cars are still owange

[vocal dome]

my game looks more similar to this sexy man's preset

[dark umbra]

Did you tried new shiny TOOLKIT? Does it solves nfs car paints problem, or you still need to do workaround like hemry with GTASARTX?

[lunar schooner]

The toolkit doesn't solve any problems with the runtine

[dark umbra]

And for Ray Reconstruction we need to wait for HL2rtx release right?

[lunar schooner]

probably

[willow herald]

As in nvidia didn't fix anything related to textures runtime baking?

[lunar schooner]

Yes

[gritty vector]

download

[vocal dome]

??

[gritty vector]

nah bro deleted his message
coward

[chilly kindle]

May be pin it?

[ornate meteor]

Hi! So I manage to install Remix but the game keeps crashing fer me each time I start the race. E.g. in the video. What am I doing wrong?

[dark umbra]

There is no remix there, you install it wrong

[ornate meteor]

Oh, my bad. I didn't set d3d9.shaderModel to 0. Now I have all cars Orange. How can I change that?

[dark umbra]

You can't. But actually you can, just open game folder \ rtx-remix \ mods \ gameReadyAssets and somewhere there find in .usda file parameter for car colour, delete it or replace with your own.

As alternative solution would be this. In that menu you can also just disable PBR for car paint.
#1106549860393553961 message

[ornate meteor]

Ok. Will check. Many thanks!

[drowsy bay]

how i can try this i have downloaded it but when i run game rtx remix doesnt launch with it like in ug 2

[dark umbra]

Use old version of widescreen fix under 2017 will work

[drowsy bay]

updating runtime to latest fixed it

[warped turtle]

hello guys i just wanted to know how to install this mod for mw if i can receive help that be amazing

[dark umbra]

Get clean game first (0 mods)
Install widescreenfix for nfs mw
Install remix
Put mod inside game #1106549860393553961 message

[warped turtle]

thank you i have to install some dvk file right cause that is what i was told

what version of mw because i have black edition idk if that matters but i install the game 0 mods put the rtx remix folder inside the game folder and nothing

[dark umbra]

Game version doesn't matter.
Install widescreenfix - for full screen resolution
Install remix: 1. Download bridge put inside game folder 2. Download dxvk pu inside .trex folder
Than put mod that was in previous massage

[warped turtle]

okay got it i got widescreen and the game done i just need the bridge and dxk file is all sorry if i am bothering you just need to make sure i got everything

[warped turtle]

cause i gave the rtx remix but i dont have the .trex, bridge or dxvk

[dark umbra]

If you have bridge and dxvk are rtx remix, but if you already putted rtx remix into game it should be fine

[warped turtle]

it does not show up the menu like u2 tho look

[dark umbra]

show game folder

[dark umbra]

you shoud have this files man like this

you didnt install remix righ way

[warped turtle]

nope dont have that

[warped turtle]

thank you so much for your time and help!

[warped turtle]

@dark umbra youre the man it works flawlessly thank you so much for your help and time. it means alot to me ❤️

[dark umbra]

good, does game looksl like this right?

[warped turtle]

yes it does very beautiful 🙂

[dark umbra]

now we need to wait for BigBoy guy to finish his stuff, he did a lot of textures already but will release it only when its ready, so soon this game will really shine just like nfsu2rtx

[warped turtle]

i am sure it will be amazing i am sure of it i cant wait till its done im a fan of nfs mw as well as high stakes

[inland frost]

mine isn't like that 😦

[dark umbra]

Use that
#1106549860393553961 message

[inland frost]

I just added it, but the textures seem to be bugged

[dark umbra]

Do you use: world level of detail and car geometry set to ultra in in game settings?

[inland frost]

I will check this

continues in the same way

[dark umbra]

Man put game on ultra settings, get in out of garage, should work

[drowsy bay]

tunnels arent working good thing there is a map to guide

[inland frost]

same way

[warped turtle]

i wanted to talk about something so with rtx 0.4.1 out now does that mean we replace the .trex in u2 just to update the files or keep it as is?

[warped turtle]

i need help most wanted rtx keeps crashing dont know which dxvk to download if anyone has the time to walk me through step by step on how to download this i would be happy cause i need to know the exact files.

[vale python]

link's dead, mate

[warped turtle]

@vale python wait im not suppose to put that rtx in the folder?

[vale python]

what ?

rtx.conf should go in the same folder where .trex is

[warped turtle]

because you said the link is dead but i manage to download that file

[vale python]

and rtx-remix as well

[vale python]

please share

mate

[warped turtle]

is there a way i can share my screen instead?

[vale python]

ehm... i mean

you can

but could you send the rtx.conf file you downloaded, please ?

[vale python]

mate

🙏

[warped turtle]

this one

[vale python]

God bless you

What-

WHAT

f- you discord 😭

trash CDN bullcrap

[warped turtle]

but the issue i am having is the game does not open in full screen and when open the rtx menu it just crashes

[vale python]

it happens for me too i alt-tab out then inside the game again and it works

also

put this in the same folder as rtx.conf

it's pre-configured, it works for me.

[warped turtle]

okay here is my next question so is there a version of mw that i am suppose to have because the thing is installed widescreen fix and my game is not even in full screen then when i have access to the menu it force closes

[vale python]

that's weird, i have the same patch as you, it should work

was it in fullscreen with the patch and without rtx-remix ?

[warped turtle]

i can still access the menu i wish we can just be in vc id show you better cause i cant screen shot it

unless you have the wide screen patch yourself because i have need for speed most wanted black edition

[vale python]

ah...

i have the regular edition

😭

patch 1.3 tho

my CD freshly acquired came with that patch OOB that's funny

[warped turtle]

nvm i got it to work i had to reowrk things but is there any reason why i cant see my nitros when i use it idk if thats just me

or what setting in rtx to put on

[warped turtle]

but if someone can help me with my widescreen issue than id be happy because the game is half a screen and when i try clicking on the menu it tabs me out of the game if anyone has a widescreen fix or can help me thats all i need,

[warped turtle]

if anyone would like to help me with my issues in mw please i would really appreciate it

[dark umbra]

Go to game folder / scripts, there you will have configuration file for widescreenfix - put there your resolution, and set windowed mode to 4-5

[warped turtle]

can you screenshot your script if possible @dark umbra and will this fix my problem with double mouse?

[dark umbra]

use this settings, get in out of garage to make them apply

just use windowed mode 5, mouse thing can be fixed - you need to use default setting 0, but every time when you go into a game you gonna need to go in game settings to change resolution so game will be fullscreen

[warped turtle]

thank you do you know how to solve the double clicking cause i cant acces my remix and the orange car is there a fix? @dark umbra

cause for some reason the game is dark idk why thats the case

[dark umbra]

Also have double clicking when applying numbers in remix, but my rtx remix menu work's fine, maybe ask in general channel how to fix that.

[pure quarry]

what is the stasus of this project? is anyone keep working on it?

[vernal ermine]

I shelved it if you’re asking about my efforts. I believe someone else is still working on it though

[pure quarry]

i see

[woeful wagon]

I'm working on it slowly but surely. It's a solo project and I'm also trying to balance working on it with school so it's certainly moving slower than other projects. I'm trying at least keep people up to date with the project whenever I can. You can see my post in #1191547320915988610 so see the progress so far

[drowsy bay]

how to make it look like this ? my game is somehow dark and car doesnt have reflections in open world

[dark umbra]

Re download rtx.cfg and dxvk.cfg#1106549860393553961 message

If it won't work send pic of how game looks

[dark umbra]

you can change time of day here, by moving this 3 parameters. Also you can change game appearance by changing global exposure to whatever parameters you like.

[unborn sentinel]

wow thxx

[drowsy bay]

now it works tx

[heady schooner]

in witch folder do i find
d3d9.shaderModel ?

[heady schooner]

I found these are these all folders i need to put in most wanted folder to get it run in RTX Remix ?

[dark umbra]

Just download all of that #1106549860393553961 message
And put inside game folder.
Don't forget about download remix #remix-beginners-guide message also put inside game folder

[heady schooner]

@dark umbrai tryd with only the things came with remix first then went here to look. so ill put the data from the pricture and then then check the other things tomorow. do you know whats that with d3d9.shaderModel ?

[dark umbra]

The stuff on github is broken and can't be downloaded, things i send is exactly latest stuff that was there before.
d3d9.shaderModel - is required to change in dxvk.cfg to make rtx remix work with nfsmw. Again configured dxvk.cfg is also in previous message.

[tough schooner]

hi i am new here what is the exact steps to make my game on rtx please ?

[dark umbra]

#1106549860393553961 message

[tough schooner]

i did everything and the game is exactly the same

[dark umbra]

Send picture of game folder

[dark umbra]

Delete all that crap, you didn't install rtx remix at all.
So first get clean game with only widescreenfix installed
Than pu rtx remix inside
Than thoose files tha where send in previous massage

[tough schooner]

oh so this have to be a clean game ?

[dark umbra]

It better to be clean, you cna try with your copy, but something can go wrong

[tough schooner]

ok i will see if i can get the setup of these game and i will try and tell you

where should rtx.remix folder should go ?

[dark umbra]

The ULTIMATE guide of nfsmwrtx install

1. Get clean game with 0 mods
2. Install widescreenfix (open NFSMostWanted.WidescreenFix.ini - use WindowedMode = 5 ) https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3327
3. Install RTX REMIX:
   -step one put this inside game folder https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/bridge-remix/actions/workflows/build.yml
   -step two put this inside .trex folder https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/dxvk-remix/actions/workflows/build.yml
4. Install AdamPlayer RTX mod:
   -step one put this inside game folder https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/1Cgkh-k9BqAiMAFmdiPqP0aJ73nznzljT/view?usp=drive_link
   -step two put files attached (rtx.conf, dxvk.conf) inside game folder
5. Use this graphics settings: #1106549860393553961 message (to make settings apply you need get in / out of garage)

[tough schooner]

where speed.exe?

[dark umbra]

idk you should have it

[tough schooner]

i think i got it but there is something missing

first the game is not on full screen always the nvidia layout is there but its like just like that

this is a clean version btw

[dark umbra]

#1106549860393553961 message
4. -step two put files rtx.conf dxv.conf

[tough schooner]

rtx.cfg this is not the same as rtx,conf?

where is that file i cant even find it

[dark umbra]

Fixed, now it's properly named
Use files attached (rtx dxvk) #1106549860393553961 message
Put them inside game folder

[tough schooner]

if so

i already did

[dark umbra]

Show game folder again...

[tough schooner]

ok

[dark umbra]

It's mess, you have github folders there for some reason, parts of dxvk.
If you want to olay with mods first get rtx remix working.
Just create separate folder and do CLEAN game install with rtx remix
#1106549860393553961 message

But pls use CLEAN game no mods (you can find it like game pc .iso, or just copy iso from your original game licence disc)

Do everything carefully step by step, every one get it to work so you can too

[tough schooner]

i did this was a clean one when i add the folders u told me its like that so i dont know really

its the first time i am doing this so i dont know really

[dark umbra]

No you did not look here #1106549860393553961 message

There shouldn't be such.mess with files

Only rtx-remix and .trex + scripts should be new files in clean install game

[tough schooner]

oh my bad

this game should not have all of these files i have right?

[dark umbra]

Just delete everything start from scratch, it's easiest way to fix all problems

[tough schooner]

ok i will try

i am sorry for that bro i just didnt know how to install

now these is a clean one i should just add what u told me about right ?@dark umbra

[dark umbra]

Yea do everything slowly step by step

[tough schooner]

look now i add those put in game nothing

i dont know i fell like something is missing but i dont know what is it

[dark umbra]

Widescreenfix installed?

[tough schooner]

yea

and with window mode on 5

[dark umbra]

Good than try run it

[tough schooner]

why is it still like that ?

i didnt miss a step

even the graphics

[dark umbra]

Usually this happens when dxvk isn't installed, but you have it, can you show your .trex folder

[tough schooner]

maybe its here

[dark umbra]

Open game folder and delete firewall.dll and gameux.dll, i think they causing problems

[tough schooner]

and i try ?

no way

i didnt work

so i am not playing it on rtx

nice

[dark umbra]

Ok now I don't understand at all

Do you have newest drivers, and RTX gpu?

[tough schooner]

i have 4060

and latest driver

every game is working good

i dont know

[dark umbra]

Any other RTX REMIX games working fine?

[tough schooner]

never tried

i like this game whan i have my gpu i just wanted to try that

i did see something in here wait

[tough schooner]

this one look at nvremixluncher32.pdb

and mine is larger by a bit

dose this change anything

[dark umbra]

Nah it's just newer versions, it shouldn't do anything, wait i will try download newest, maybe that one is broken or something

[tough schooner]

i mean maybe yea

i will try couple of diffrent things maybe this is gonna work

looking for older version maybe

[dark umbra]

Nope it works

My guess is game version problem

[tough schooner]

um

maybe

do u have a link for another game version ?

[dark umbra]

we cant send links to pirate games, but you can google nfs mw iso pc (click on archive...)

[tough schooner]

i just dont know maybe i download another version with proplems

i will see

[dark umbra]

if i rember correctly i used that one

[tough schooner]

do even know any website name i can search for ?

so i get the game from

ok i will see

[dark umbra]

i just tried that my self full clean install - everything working

[tough schooner]

ok ok so it is the game version it has to be

this is one of those i think its so easy to be solved but i dont know the issue

what about the settings of rtx remix ingame ?

is there is something should be done ?

[dark umbra]

Thats the only setting, but its only disables materials, not RT

[tough schooner]

yea

this is not working but i am downloading a version now

i will try it

[vale python]

mods should pin this

[heady schooner]

2. Install widescreenfix (open NFSMostWanted.WidescreenFix.ini - use WindowedMode = 5 ) https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3327 i changed these in the folder of widescreen fix. after that i need to put the data in Game folder right?

@dark umbra

[dark umbra]

Yes

Or you can put thoose files inside game folder, and change parameter there, it's doesn't really matter.
Main point is to put widescreenfix inside nfsmw game folder

[heady schooner]

it says dinput8.dll is still there should i use the one that is there or the one from mod?

the modded one has 2,10 mb the other 2,02 MB

[dark umbra]

Ohh gosh... Look at 1. Get the clean game, no mods.
Anyway yes, replace it, maybe you gonna get lucky and everything will work as intended

[heady schooner]

I could start the game and got to these setting what to do with rain effect and the 2 points under it?

[dark umbra]

Car geometry and world level of detail are only important settings, rest is does nothing

[heady schooner]

ok then ill try to start in remix after safing ingame

that are all datas which are no inside the forlder. of the game. it runs if i start it direct via its exe but if i try via remix tool start it does nothing

[dark umbra]

you just start game as you did before - through speed.exe

[heady schooner]

and then when I am in ?

[dark umbra]

What you in, game has rtx

That's it

[heady schooner]

it looks like these at the momant but I cant get into any special menu

to mod the game

[dark umbra]

Bro delete that whole crap, get clean copy of game from licence disc, not some modded crap.
Than follow everything slowly step by step.
You have mess in your game folder, you can try mod nfsmwrtx, but first you need to make game run with rtx, and only then experiment with mods.

[heady schooner]

the version on my disc

[heady schooner]

@dark umbra

[dark umbra]

Than install it to PC

[heady schooner]

Ill try reinstall the game

[heady schooner]

now it doesnt want to install from disc. ... and yes it is an original mw 2005 dics

[heady schooner]

if someone knows where i could get a clean running version ? -> dm me
my dvd doesnt like to run atm

[fluid star]

where is the donwload link inside of it

[fluid star]

my brain stops when it doesnt see at least a ´ì donwload sign or smthng

nvm had to log in

[dark umbra]

Click on latest stuff, than on the button you will have smth.release - that thing you click on - download

[fluid star]

where do i put those

[fluid star]

br

main folder or the conf folde

[tough schooner]

@dark umbra dvxk remix and bridge remix i feel like i have proplem with those two files

bec i did alot of version now it doesnt work still

[tough schooner]

this is actually working now finally

but all of the cars are orange

what is the solution for that ?

[vernal ermine]

You can change it to whatever color ya want

Just tweak the mod usda

[tough schooner]

its fine now thanks

[hoary pilot]

Why does my Game look like this? I did everything as in the guide and it doesnt looks like it should be

[dark umbra]

Get in / out of garage than graphics settings will apply

[hoary pilot]

i tried several times nothing happens but in the garage the textures were loaded

[dark umbra]

Did you use proper settings from screenshot (high lods, and car geometry)?

[hoary pilot]

Yeah sure

[dark umbra]

Try load game again, make sure while you're in menu that you are using needed settings, then go open world to see if it works

[hoary pilot]

Doesnt work

[dark umbra]

You didn't install mod itself, delete if you have rtx-remix folder, and use link from guide 4. Smth #1106549860393553961 message

[hoary pilot]

nvmd i dropped the files from the rtx-remix folder in the main directory, my bad

but thx

[tough schooner]

this rtx remix is looking amazing guys thanks for the help to install it

[wide warren]

dam

[heady schooner]

I got the game runing with rtx remix bit there where no cars. 😆 But i think i forget widescreen fix. There where only shadows

[kind hill]

Happened to me first try, look up in this chat and find the rtx.conf and dxvk.conf and drag those into the root folder with the rest of the rtx remix files

[heady schooner]

Ill Check later

[heady schooner]

can s.o. tell me in which folder i can find the User data ( where MW saves the data for career save) ?

[heady schooner]

in main menue everything looks ok but when i go to career an start playing and drive threw first tunnel it gets black on black only minimap to coordinate where i go. Still no cars when I drive,

[willow herald]

Anybody tried yet with the rtx remix 0.4.1? I have this mod setup, wondering if its fine if I just copy the new release of the binary runtime to game dir

Yea works fine

[tough schooner]

@willow herald do u see any diffrence by doing that ?

[willow herald]

not much but I guess they did fix the doubled cursor issue as per changelogs

as I didnt get that really annoying bug with rtx menus now

[tough schooner]

and the orange cars it fixed ?

[willow herald]

no

as u see the gtr is one color blue

which is my orange so the cobalt looks good

[tough schooner]

um i mean blue is better tbh

but i am tring to six this orange cars proplem and i cant really

[willow herald]

definitely better than orange yea

[tough schooner]

fix

[willow herald]

nobody can, runtime texture baking is broken

nvidia has to fix this in rtx remix

[tough schooner]

yea maybe

[willow herald]

Which is why I think adamplays has stopped the project for now

[tough schooner]

there is one way but i dont think its like an good way to fix this

if i uncheck enchanced material it works

nut i dont have the ground reflections

[willow herald]

yea but then no rtx, no better textures or lights from car

[tough schooner]

yea exactly

[willow herald]

its just disabling most of the rtx remix

so game pretty much runs as it is with some things removed

[tough schooner]

yea

[willow herald]

been there done that 😛

[tough schooner]

uh this is so annoying

[willow herald]

yea car body is mostly one texture being colored by the game based on car and car paint and decals

coloring of it by the game is what rtx remix cant do

[tough schooner]

but when i am in game the other cars are colored

thats why i have been woundering

[visual sparrow]

hey all I installed all the files after doing a clean install of the game but I cant get my game to start

i just get a black screen and then the game crashes

[dark umbra]

Probably widescreenfix fault, usu the one linked with tutorial

[visual sparrow]

i did. still crashed 😦 do i need to manually input the resolution in the x and y fields?

[dark umbra]

Nah you don't need to touch it, maybe for experiment try delete widescreenfix, and run game without it.
(I had same problem, only latest version of widescreen, or version before 2017 was working with remix together, otherwise game starts and crashes)

[willow herald]

reinstall original game or remove the modded files and install the mods one by one, testing at each install

https://tenor.com/view/fall-out-boy-crystal-ball-crystal-sphere-gif-16380909

nobody's got one of these in here as far as I'm aware

if so please DM me, could use some knowledge rofl

[wide warren]

looks amazing

[tough schooner]

some how i dont know i was playing the game normaly then my car is colored by it self i didnt even do anything

[wary slate]

does it stay forever like that

or when you exit the garage it goes back to orange?

[tough schooner]

I dont know i will try maybe

[tough schooner]

Oh when i exit garage no

But i didnt try to exit the game

Bec maybe its not gonna stay like that

[crimson depot]

Hey, I need a bit of help running this. The textures are off and I tried going in and out of the garage to see if it made any chances but it didn't. I also included pictures of all the files in my direxctory so that it'll be easier for you guys to guide me. Thank you again for helping everyone!

[vernal ermine]

D3d9.dll should be d3d9.asi

[crimson depot]

what should I do?

[vernal ermine]

Right click, rename the file

[crimson depot]

gotcha

done

anything else?

Still a bit off but better

[vernal ermine]

Nope that’s all

[crimson depot]

What should I do to make it like the one's you have/

[vernal ermine]

Prob fix your resolution. It’s set in the scripts folder. Should be a txt file with widescreen fix

[crimson depot]

On it, but will be keeping the hud this way because I need to stream it at 16:9'

Definately better, and is this normal/

[dark umbra]

Did you install widescreenfix? Install it, it should work perfectly

[crimson depot]

It is there

[dark umbra]

Use 0 on resx and y, windowed mode 4

[crimson depot]

Currently, will fix the hud later

Looks right, but is this what it should look like?

[dark umbra]

I hope you are using this settings #1106549860393553961 message

[polar zenith]

where is the .trex folder?

[dark umbra]

After you put bridge inside game folder you will have .trex folder there

[leaden lava]

What is there to fix? It looks fine, unless there's something in the top left that I forgot about...

The lighting also looks nice so far

[crimson depot]

I wasn’t. Thank you

[crimson depot]

Aspect ratio

[leaden lava]

Looked fixed already to me, they're perfect circles... As far as position, that's more of a subjective preference than objective fix

[polar zenith]

i ran the build all.bat but cant find where it put anything

i can not find any trex file anywhere

i may be dumb

im gonna try a fresh install

would there be any issue in using black edition?

i edited the d3d9.shaderModel removed the # and nothing

do i need anything else?

[near sapphire]

You can use this script
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/638

[leaden lava]

... they already have it fixed and adjusted, look at the last screenshot

[near sapphire]

Not really. The last picture shows the hud in 16:9 mode. Hud adapter moves it closer to the edges of the screen.

[leaden lava]

That is subjective

[versed wigeon]

can someone tell me if this is a cpu or gpu bottleneck?(stats top left) ~20fps (12700h rtx3060 laptop) could it be because the game is on HDD?

https://youtu.be/U7miRpPvWJQ here same video

[wary slate]

is this the only rtx remix game having this performance?

[versed wigeon]

actually the first one i tried :/

[wary slate]

Yeah path-tracing needs very good hardware to run properly

you arent bottlenecking

[versed wigeon]

yeah probably that. Thanks!

[heady schooner]

Would be better if on ssd like recommended on remix Website. And a 3060 is very low grafikcard for Remix too as the rtx 4070 is the recommended one. Which Version of 3060 has your Laptop?

[versed wigeon]

Full wattage 140w

[heady schooner]

Vram capacity?

[versed wigeon]

6gb :/

[heady schooner]

Thats bad. I wonder that remix even works

[versed wigeon]

Well i played through whole portal rtx pretty smoothly on dlss ultra performance. But this is much harder on my system

[heady schooner]

How much normal ram ?

[versed wigeon]

16gb

[heady schooner]

Ok for me mw looks even better with only active hd Mod on my 4070 oc. Without activate Remix. Ok i have 32 gb RAM and 12 GB vram. That could be a Point that helps

[versed wigeon]

Yeah my gpu is like the minimum that can run rtx remix. Yours is pretty good

[heady schooner]

I tryed mw with Remix but it crashed but could be that i mixed some of the data. 😆

Ill try again when i have better Network and a nother (cleaner) version of mw.

When i drove in the first tunnel all went black exc the minimap. And the cars where shaddows on the streets only.

[versed wigeon]

Nice i used black edition

[versed wigeon]

okay i fixed the problem and the problem was in fact that the game was on an HDD -.- just copied it to the nvme and it works as expected

https://youtu.be/QSNCPYYyUKs

[proven nacelle]

How did you do this? This looks awesome lol

Great way to see what PT is actually doing

[proven nacelle]

Do I need 1.2 for this? Cant get it to work with 1.3

I dont get it lol. Im not trying to install this version but I want to try to make my own mod. I installed rtx remix from Omniverse, copied the contents from the runtime folder into the nfs mw root folder, started the game. It says the rtx remix thingie and I can click alt x to bring up the menu and stuff but it looks like this and capturing a scene doesnt do anything

ah I think the pinned message also applied to me

[dark umbra]

Just go through this #1106549860393553961 message
Simply don't install mod itself, after that it should work
(Still dxvk file required, it's attached to massage)

[proven nacelle]

@dark umbra I did, the garage looks like this

when I capture this, it loads into remix, but it seems like a lot of stuff is missing (walls etc)

[vale python]

both of your cases happened to me... uhmmmm

what i did is...

Set my settings to this: #1106549860393553961 message

Then the windowed mode to 5 for the widescreen patch: #1106549860393553961 message

And here are my files.

also for the drive, put the rtx-remix folder next to the EXE

TL;DR: Follow This #1106549860393553961 message

With a clean install

[proven nacelle]

is the resolution important?

its set to 2160p

[vale python]

If it works on a Linux with Proton and a funky radeon driver, then it should work everywhere

[vale python]

it shouldn't be

put your native res and you're good to go

[proven nacelle]

did yours capture the walls in the menu garage?

[vale python]

mine looks like that

hold on

[proven nacelle]

but in the capture in remix I mena

mean*

[vale python]

i'm unsure what you mean by that

[proven nacelle]

did you just download the mod to play it or to mod it with remix?

[vale python]

i downloaded the mod and rtx remix if that answers your question

[proven nacelle]

progress lol

I just cant get it to work in game. I dont see any new stuff ive done here

[wanton portal]

Is shading the cars in particular challenging or its just not had enough development?

[proven nacelle]

@wanton portal the bmw looks fine in my image I think. But maybe its different when driving in game, idk. I can see it causes issues when you select a matte paint in the game. Like how should the renderer know you selected a matte paint

[wanton portal]

Hmmm. True

[formal badger]

None of the vents are the proper color

[proven nacelle]

I know, I just meant the shading of the car, as in roughness and metallic and stuff

Didnt pay attention to the smaller things yet

[heady schooner]

Maybe try to remix the world with the remix tool and after that when it run and Looks like you want use a car desing mod to put your design on the car. Only an idea, because the cars dont have textures that are pictures wrapped around them.

[vernal ermine]

Try renaming or deleting the RTX-remix in the game folder. You probably have multiple edits conflicting with each other.

[proven nacelle]

i just reinstalled nfs and im reinstalling rtx remix now, then im trying again

[vernal ermine]

Gotcha. Don’t install any additional RTX remix mod as they’ll likely end up conflicting

[proven nacelle]

aight

ill just copy the stuff over into the directory, start the game, capture, edit, save and start the game

now the game crashes whenever i start it lol

i dont get it anymore

[vernal ermine]

Did you setup the dxvk conf and the widescreen fix mods?

[proven nacelle]

Widescreen yes, dxvk not sure

[vernal ermine]

You have to set the shadermodel to 0 in dxvk.conf

[proven nacelle]

yea i have that

@vernal ermine so I did all the reinstallations and stuff and still nothing

can you maybe do a teamviewer thing and try it for me? I dont know anymore

when I follow the install instructions to get this mod working, then the mod works, why does my own thing not work then??

[vernal ermine]

You can just follow the mod instructions and just not put the RTX-remix folder into the game folder and it should work

Then once you do an in game capture it’ll create a new RTX-remix folder

[proven nacelle]

but it doesnt work

xD

I upload a video: https://streamable.com/ojgxzv

is this the way the project folder should look?

can you look at the streamable? Im really frustrated

[vernal ermine]

Can you embed it here? Way easier for me

[proven nacelle]

I thought I needed nitro for that my bad

[vernal ermine]

Desktop might be write protected

You want to use something that isn’t write protected an external drive or make a new folder on the root of the drive

You’ll just wanna delete the deps symlink from the mods folder and create a new project in the toolkit

[proven nacelle]

but the sample is also on the desktop and that works fine

[vernal ermine]

Doesn’t matter, toolkit won’t be able to write it if it’s in a protected folder

[proven nacelle]

so i should put it at C/nfsmw or something?

that doesnt work either

[vernal ermine]

What’s the contents of mod.usda after you make the changes?

[proven nacelle]

`#usda 1.0
(
customLayerData = {
lightspeed_game_name =
string lightspeed_layer_type = "replacement"
}
timeCodesPerSecond = 24
upAxis = "Y"
)

over "RootNode"
{
over "Looks"
{
over "mat_CBC26D3A7F5DE0F0"
{
over "Shader"
{
bool inputs:enable_emission = 1 (
customData = {
bool default = 0
}
displayGroup = "Emission"
displayName = "Enable Emission"
doc = """Enables the emission of light from the material

"""
hidden = false
)
}
}
}
}

`

[vernal ermine]

Just enabling the emission won’t do much. Try doing something like making the floor have a roughness of 0.

[proven nacelle]

still nothing

I added roughess 0 and metallic 1 to the floor and the car

cant send the mod.usda cuz its too long

[vernal ermine]

Did you enable enhancements in the remix dev menu?

[vernal ermine]

Well that’s a problem

[proven nacelle]

I know but why is it doing that

[vernal ermine]

Dunno. Is your modusda not in that subfolder of RTX-remix ?

[proven nacelle]

its in rtx-remix/mods/nfs4/mod.usda

together with the nfs4.usda

and .thumbs and deps folders

[vernal ermine]

Try renaming nfs4 to gamereadyassests

[proven nacelle]

just the folder?

[vernal ermine]

Ya

[proven nacelle]

okay

but the nfs4 folder is a symbolic folder

symbolic link

[vernal ermine]

Oh. Welp

Can just create a new folder in remix called mods and a subfloder in that called gamereadyassets. Then toss the mod usda in there

[proven nacelle]

like this

[vernal ermine]

Yea I think that’s the structure it follows

[proven nacelle]

nothing

it also doesnt remember the always developer mode option

[vernal ermine]

Where is the game installed

[proven nacelle]

i tried everywhere at this point lol

right now at the desktop but I also had it on the c drive as we discussed before, on my other ssd too

[vernal ermine]

Don’t know at this point. Do you have some strong user account setting, folder control access, or antivirus thing?

I know folder control access can cause problems

[proven nacelle]

not that i know of

but the thing is, when I download the rtx-remix mod listed above here somewhere, that one does have big visual changes

so that one works

[vernal ermine]

I got nothing left to try. Something with how your folders are setup is causing problems

[proven nacelle]

if I send you the game, can you try and see if it works for you?

[vernal ermine]

[proven nacelle]

didnt you have any of these issues when you worked on your mod?

[vernal ermine]

Nope. I installed it to an external drive and didn’t use the toolkit tho

[proven nacelle]

@vernal ermine I got it to work I think

I compared the mod.usda files of the working one vs mine and I noticed the beginning was different

the working one had

#usda 1.0 ( metersPerUnit = 1 subLayers = [ @./subusd/ignoredrawcalls.usda@, @./subusd/lights.usda@, @./subusd/materials.usda@ ] upAxis = "y" )

mine has

#usda 1.0 ( customLayerData = { lightspeed_game_name = string lightspeed_layer_type = "replacement" } timeCodesPerSecond = 24 upAxis = "Z" )

whenever I remove

customLayerData = { lightspeed_game_name = string lightspeed_layer_type = "replacement" }

it works

you know what this might be and why this is?

[vernal ermine]

Something with the toolkit

[proven nacelle]

shall I ask in general? maybe one of the nvidia devs know

[tough schooner]

@vernal ermine what is the solution for my cars being orange ?

[vernal ermine]

Change it in the mod usda

[tough schooner]

How in game or from the game file ?

Is it the file inside game ready assets ?

[tough schooner]

oh i dont know how but when i change in the bmw m3 vinyl file the mod is working without the orange color this is actually working

[dark umbra]

Try read this stuff (I don't remember how to do that, but here's old explanation from adam) #1106549860393553961 message

[tough schooner]

um i have a very good idea

[tough schooner]

i did it by tex ed

[wary slate]

what did you do

[proven nacelle]

this is getting pretty cool! 😄

[wide warren]

looks nice

[proven nacelle]

thanks man! Lots of trail and error haha

[wary slate]

It looks very good. Only missing the windshields

[proven nacelle]

yea i have no idea how to do that

[exotic fractal]

how you do that?

[proven nacelle]

@uncut citrus are you asking me?

tried to mimic the original main menu colors better, this is awesome

[leaden lava]

I will not play an RTX Remix mod if it don't got piss filter 🗣️ 💕

[proven nacelle]

Is mine pissy enough? :p

[leaden lava]

Hmmmmm...

Almost but not quite ;P

Had to turn off my blue light filter just to make sure

[proven nacelle]

Yea does it need to be more yellow?

Or what color is it

White ish?

[leaden lava]

Yellooooww

You could ask a modder what the exact colour of the visual treatment is for reference

I think it's a colour value in the post processing

[proven nacelle]

Yeah but i dont know if that color value would necessarily translate well to a path traced version

But it might, who knows

[exotic fractal]

how did you solve the orange textures error?

[proven nacelle]

@exotic fractal what orange textures error?

You mean the car being orange?

[exotic fractal]

yes

[proven nacelle]

I am making my own mod so I'm not using their files

So I'm afraid I can't help with that

[exotic fractal]

oh i see, sorry, my bad

[proven nacelle]

That's alright

[leaden lava]

Even if it won't, it's good to use as a basis and slightly adjust from there

[proven nacelle]

True

[proven nacelle]

@tough schooner what did you do to fix the textures on the cars?

[tough schooner]

Well actually i dont know how but when u change the bmw m3 vinyl from the nfs mw files it is fixed

[proven nacelle]

@tough schooner sorry im not sure I get what you mean. Can you show me?

[wide warren]

we def getting somewhere

the mw atmosphere really needs to not be eliminated

but look at xbox 360 mw

or that 360 stuff mod

its a combo of yellow and slight green tint

industrial shit

dirty poluted af xD ny experience

[proven nacelle]

Yeah hhaa, Ill tweak it more

[willow herald]

If it says rtx remix thingy, You can open the menu, then You have successfuly injected rtx remix into the game, congrats.

changing options in the menus and further manipultating its files and configs is part of creating the rtx remix for a specific game, everybody starts from a clean rtx remix that doesnt affect the game much

including converting game textures into a format that the rtx remix can consume and work with, most of which adamplayer has already done

Also in terms of get capture - it does work if You enter a filename it should save to. Then You can open this capture in USD Composer and browse the scene freely, outside of the game

The reason it doesnt work properly and adamplayer stopped his project, is that nvidia rtx remix does not support changing texture color on the fly by the game

[proven nacelle]

Whoah don't worry man

[willow herald]

Sometimes it does work, just because the rtx remix texture modification didnt really apply, this can be easily noticed by the fact that the car texture looks completely matte, no shadows or shininess. Tends to randomly change when entering garage screen

[proven nacelle]

I got it working already haha

As you can see in the messages above these :p

[willow herald]

fingers crossed, just putting out the knowledge there, so it could help

[proven nacelle]

Yeah true!

[willow herald]

oh damn, interesting!

so You did manage to get rtx remix to replace textures

and still keep the upgraded, shiny textures while keeping colors of the cars changeable? 😮

Feel free to drop the mod as is, I'll gladly test

as the last few screenshots You posted do indeed look very promising

I think the textures remain unchanged, but still would be quite nice to see

[proven nacelle]

nah the color isnt changeble

no idea how to fix it

[wary slate]

XD

the true iconic car

[woeful wagon]

Are you asking about the car colors or the decal?

[proven nacelle]

they both arent changable now

[woeful wagon]

I'll try and have my mod released by the end of March and upload a tutorial on how to get everything working

[proven nacelle]

oh thats cool! Do you have decals and paint working?

[woeful wagon]

Paint yes but I honestly haven't even touched decals

I've gotten a good chunk of the world of the world at a stage where I think it's an improvement over base game and the goal for release is having a version 1 of the world where a lot of AI is used but with a lot of manual effort in on it too. I'd like to start integrating new original textures and I had no interest in going out and sourcing my own textures during the winter lol

[proven nacelle]

haha thats nice man

did you add your own distant light as a sun?

[woeful wagon]

I've got a light using remix but I haven't tried anything with the toolkit yet because it's just not working well for me at all. I think the issues I'm having they have fixed but I need to wait for an update at some point

[proven nacelle]

damn

impressive

[woeful wagon]

They said it was fixed a while ago so I'm assuming it will be released soon I hope

[proven nacelle]

im just trying stuff and if it works it works haha

[woeful wagon]

Yeah that's been remix in a nutshell lmao

[proven nacelle]

honestly, i think this looks pretty sick (and a little faithful to the original)

[woeful wagon]

Yeah that looks great

[proven nacelle]

thanks 🙂 can you like capture the entire map at once or do you have to make multiple captures?

[woeful wagon]

Multiple captures

It'd be dope if remix could auto stitch captures together with the toolkit

[proven nacelle]

yeah

but changes carry over right? so you dont have to add a distant light every time and make sure the settings are the same etc

[woeful wagon]

Maybe I'm not for sure

[proven nacelle]

alright

well see haha

[wanton portal]

Is there a screenshot with the low quiality piss filter but rtx?

[wanton portal]

this doesnt look smered enough

just curious

[polar zenith]

did it work?

rtx, menu shows and stuff, but cant see much difference..

[proven nacelle]

i dont think it worked

@polar zenith did you install the dvxk thingie? or whatever its called

[polar zenith]

let me double check

ah, i didnt change the number from 3 to 0 oopsies

welp something happned

tried a race, it works, but very glitchy.

may need to fiddle with the settings abit

[proven nacelle]

@polar zenith yes this is good

that one works

thats what I had first too

@woeful wagon do you maybe know why the game switches constantly between a matte color and the decal for me? one time its like this

and the other like this

[polar zenith]

how did you get it lit up?

[proven nacelle]

you can tag the sky as sky texture

the sky is basically blocking the sun so there is no light

if that makes sense

[polar zenith]

thanks a lot mate! it workjs!

[polar zenith]

hMM, have you found a way to use controller with it?
i lost all my xbox buttons setup

[proven nacelle]

No sorry

[polar zenith]

ah! i got it xd

Paint fix #1103377328530276403 message
(Obv doesn't work as drag and drop, but way how to fix is obvious - long and boring signing each car colour paint hash one by one...)
Or ask Hemry for his script #1103377328530276403 message

[grand crag]

I haven't tried NFSMW, but I'm curious if the game generates random texture hashes like NFSU2 does?

[grand crag]

Currently, I've created a script for NFSU2 that applies a more realistic car paint texture to a series of texture hashes specifically assigned to car body textures. The reason for doing this is because some car bodies share the same texture hash. I'm trying to find the limit of texture hashes by collecting enough textures that can be exclusively applied to car paint. Additionally, I'm using a similar approach to create a global car wheel PBR texture that can be applied to all car wheels (NPC cars have "random" car wheel texture hashes).

[proven nacelle]

@grand crag do you think it works the same way? Just install it like there and it works?

[dark umbra]

Probably yes.
When i just try lazy way of drag and drop your .usda, cars didn't get effected, but some of the world textures became glossy.
So if you properly apply your script to MW, it should find all texture hashes just like U2.

[grand crag]

The script requires manually capturing all the scenes to obtain the texture hashes of all the world objects, and then manually selecting the car's body textures to exclude them from the list. I either copy the car's body textures to a specific folder or add their texture hashes to a text file. It is a time-consuming process, but if you're willing to put in the effort, I can still publish it.

[proven nacelle]

So with textures you mean the decals right?

[grand crag]

For everything else, if you want the texture to have a shiny appearance, make sure to use the rough_only.usda file which applies materials/textures with a rough look.

[grand crag]

They are not using the same texture hash, so it definitely won't work for other games. You'll need to generate a new texture hash specific to each game.

[dark umbra]

Is there a way to copy texture hash directly from game (running rtx remix), or it's only achievable through toolkit.
Because if would do that through rtx-remix, just copy paste into rough-only.usda that would be quite fast way of doing things.

[grand crag]

You can use Alt + X toggle remix menu > Game setup Tab > Step 1: Categorize Textures > point to the mesh you want to obtain the texture hash for. This way, you can easily copy the texture hash directly.

I am rewriting my code to make it more readable for people who are not familiar with coding.

[grand crag]

To get started, simply place the script inside the game folder.
For a detailed, step-by-step demonstration, I recommend watching the following video:
https://youtu.be/EywA7nKUMdw

[wide warren]

wow...

we have reached the future...

it looks so good wth

insane

[grand crag]

I need to clarify that the demo video was created in NFSU2, not NFSMW.

[willow herald]

I've gotta agree 100%, this looks like the proper NFSU2 remaster that everybody is waiting for to come from EA

[grand crag]

Added a demo showcasing the usage of the "include_list.txt" file. This file enables manual addition of a few texture hashes to the "rough_only.usda" file without the need to capture the entire scene.
https://youtu.be/1Tht0gLZ3iw

[wide warren]

wow i like how u can modify individual stuff in the area

this tool is def powerful

[proven nacelle]

@grand crag doesnt work for me somehow

and tbh, im not sure I understand what file is responsible for what

also I dont get what you did in the first video, what is the difference between the beginning and the end?

[proven nacelle]

@woeful wagon @willow herald I fixed it! 😮 Now everything is customizable again!

[sinful seal]

nice

[wary slate]

Can you show how it looks like when racing/in race

[proven nacelle]

terrible lol

outside has not been done yet

[sinful seal]

🤯

[willow herald]

Holy fuck man good job!

[proven nacelle]

Thanks!

[willow herald]

managed to generate all textures with henrys script?

[proven nacelle]

No

Idk why, it suddenly worked

[proven nacelle]

As shown here

[willow herald]

Damn, would be nice if we could reproduce this

also for testing I recommend from main menu:

• go into career garage
• back out
• go to quick races
• keep randomizing the cars

then the car paint color/decals and parts are auto-generated which does help testing this a lot

meanwhile going in/out of career does switch the display somehow

in my case going in/out of career did sometimes completely disable the texture improvement and then reenable it again (making car paint and decals all matte and LQ)

this bug could've been the rtx remix itself bug though

[proven nacelle]

@willow herald i believe the default bmw texture was assigned or attached to the normal paint if you know what i mean. I had to edit the mod.usda to remove that manually. Maybe that helps

[proven nacelle]

Ill try this when Im back on my pc and think about it lol

[grand crag]

It seems like you did not input the correct relative path of the script file.

[proven nacelle]

Wouldnt that be automatically done if its in the root directory?

[grand crag]

I will be releasing an updated with UI version tomorrow. Are you using the Remix Toolkit to create the mod as well?

The reason you need to manually input the path is that my original script file does not have the "modfolder" path filled in.
It's already 6 am and it's too late for me now. My brain isn't functioning properly for coding at the moment.
The reason I need to input the path is that my script file is not placed in the game's root folder. If it were placed in the game folder, I could have made the script work without the need for any manual path input. I will fix it tomorrow.

[proven nacelle]

Aight cool, no rush

[willow herald]

Kevin all You gotta do is replace the paths Henry shown with Your own and then run this

the script is hardcoded to henrys paths of nfsu2 that he used in his own pc, You gotta replace them with Yours on Your own PC

he mentioned more permanent solutions which is creating a GUI app, so You might have to wait a longer while

or edit the script with Your own paths and have it run alread

[drowsy bay]

Havent checked for long time is there any update regarding this mod ?

it looks terrible

guess that person just took the remix files from here and made a video on it without trying to make it compatible/ fix the orange car issues

[dull goblet]

Do you miss the filter?

[wary slate]

i like what Kevin is doing rn

[dull goblet]

Yea because he is putting actual effort

[wary slate]

piss filter? No but that video replaced the piss filter from original with blue filter in rtx remix

[dull goblet]

Blue filter? I think its just the sky

[wary slate]

you dont need piss filter. Just make it moody with the natural coloring like that video in #offtopic

[dull goblet]

Yea, I don't miss it either. Tho seems like a lot of the people in the comments do, or they don't know what they actually want.

[wary slate]

i showed Kevin's screenshots to people who like the piss filter and they loved it

https://youtu.be/bf-x7Pxfjug?si=mfCkGC6WIiss-GsT

this pre-render is sorta of the looks that would be insane to see

[proven nacelle]

I haven't tried editing the world itself yet, that still looks terrible

final version I think

maybe I should change the material of the curtains too but im not sure what to change it to

[wide warren]

it lacks that garage baked lighting

or whaever it had previously

[proven nacelle]

@wide warren yeah I removed it. Do you think it needs to come back? This is more 'accurate'

[wide warren]

yea

the garages should look beautiful i mean

idk how vanilla non remix MW is but u clearly see more effects in the garage

or at least some additional stuff during ur current weather

idk how to explain

hope u understand

both look good tho but there surely is room for improvement

[wide warren]

but this one just looked criminal

i wonder how the lil MW filter would go on

[proven nacelle]

the only thing i changed was adding those lights in the lamps left and right

[frail ermine]

So when you tag it, you cant Select it

[proven nacelle]

yea

in rtx remix

you can?

[sturdy rivet]

Hello, does anyone have a link to download the game?

[proven nacelle]

I can do that tomorrow, it's pretty late now, thanks for that

[frail ermine]

yeah, its 0:18 here too

[proven nacelle]

Yea whoops

[frail ermine]

haha im always up that late

[proven nacelle]

If you could answer your dm thatd be awesome 😄

[frail ermine]

i try to figure out how to say that XD

[proven nacelle]

Haha alright!

[heady schooner]

That sounds good. Do we get some pictures on how it looks ingame then?

Btw. The car decals are pictures wrapped around the cars. No paintings on the cars. There are mods with that you could edit or replace them but be sure to use the excact Layout of the specific car else it looks Bad. Dont know if editing cars with remix works.

[willow herald]

Holy shit man, that's EXACTLY what I meant, I still can't believe we already have proper colors working

But that video proves it a 1000 times lol

[willow herald]

1 also, the 2nd photo makes background in the center of attention and car invisible.

It already looks wonderful, I'm hyped to try it out

But I do agree with MadHunter, we need the garage special effects back, it looks so clean now that I didn't even think for a moment that's garage

For sure there's smoke almost everywhere around, some sparks, bit of fog, cracked ground and also some kinda water or spillage on the ground

Made the garage feel real, cozy and most wanted kinda thing where everybody is running from police

[willow herald]

While this is gorgeous and I haven't seen MW look this good, but was dreaming about it

It looks more like some car dealer showroom that sells brand new unmodified cars, or like forza horizon screenshot xD

I'd say, if possible then keep all of the original effects, potentially make a variant with/without the yellow hue filter, I agree with that being not always desired

[proven nacelle]

@willow herald i see what you mean, the thing is, the particles effects look really bad with RT. And in the workshop there werent many effects actually. Only a glow from the skylight but that looks really bad in the toolkit so i removed it

Wet floor can probably be done, but im not sure how yet, im not very experienced haha

[willow herald]

I don't mean adding anything new, just keeping the original.
Perhaps then variants:
keeps all original,
improved with yellow OG filter,
Improved with the changed approach

Not sure if You'd bother to do 3 variants, but I guess once it's going to be released, it's gonna blow up

Giving 3 options would let people choose and also understand the bugs and consequences of keeping all original effects

Who knows? Maybe with some more rtx remix updates, the all original with RT but a bit broken, could eventually become perfect, without You doing any changes

Just my ideas and suggestions, rtx remix is new to everybody, it's Your project now, so You decide how it will be.

But thank You so so much for working on this, Your progress is mind-blowing

[proven nacelle]

I get it. But some things may not be done as you think. For example, water is actually not water in the original. The entire scène is copied and placed upside down and the ground basically has transparency in parts of the texture, so you see through the ground. I just replaced the texture with a nice pbr texture I found on the internet, but that doesnt have gaps so you cant see through. To do it correctly I have to make a good pbr material with reflections and stuff and im not sure how to do that yet. I just want to figure everything out first and later pay attention to all the details if you get what I mean 🙂 3 options is indeed nice, but I will focus on just getting something that looks alright for now, while learning how it all works :p

[willow herald]

oh fuck, You're 100% correct, I missed the important detail, that its 2005 game and a lot of things are actually kind of hacked around to make it look good, where the hardware was unable to do what the devs wanted to do visually

Is there even an actual sun object or are lights from lamps on the road and the red/white barrels at least actual light sources?

I mean like does the game have any actual sky/sun light source?

[proven nacelle]

When I capture it, I dont get a light source I think

So im not sure how that works

In the main menu scène, when I first captured it, it was entirely black, as there is a big sphere around the world with a cloud texture, so the inside is pitch black because no distant light source can get through lol

[willow herald]

ohh, maybe that's some kind of another hack to get a color filter or this "smoke" effect I was talking about

[proven nacelle]

So I had to change the alpha of the sphere to let light shine through, which in turn changed the color of the texture. All that stuff is annoying lol

[proven nacelle]

I was thinking of getting some nice volumetrics in that workshop scène, but you can (I believe) only set the volumetrics for the entire game, not per capture individually

And smoke is a 2d texture with transparency, and RTX remix or RT doesnt like transparancy, as it will look very grainy or flickery, so I removed some smoke which looked bad

[willow herald]

Maybe a good idea would be just to have a look in the OG game where the smoke is coming from, as I recall it was only coming out statically out of a few places, not random

and then (if its even possible), adding a similar smoke effect from kind of the same area

as I think it wont be possible to find the exact location and angle, as the smoke does indeed seem to be coming from this big sphere

just a theory, I could be completely wrong

[proven nacelle]

You cant add a smoke effect as far as I know, you can only add models and textures. So if id replace the smoke, it would be with another 2d texture

[willow herald]

Thanks, unfortunately I wasnt of much help it seems, but reading Your valuable answers, I already feel to understand more about it

[proven nacelle]

Haha Yeah Id love to add al that stuff like water and smoke and stuff, its a big part of the atmosphere, but i dont think its possible right now, or at least i dont know how yet

[frail ermine]

Well, for underground 2 I also used a 2d texture, but the outcome was good

[proven nacelle]

Well sometimes the smoke looks good. In the career garage it looks alright, so I kept it there. But I dont have a screenshot of that now

[frail ermine]

On the left you see it

[proven nacelle]

Yea that looks nice

Replaced it or is it the original?

[frail ermine]

Replaced

[willow herald]

That looks really good! What about the Nitrous Purge nozzles smoke?

[proven nacelle]

Yea i didnt even try to replace em yet haha

Im focusing on the bigger picture first

[frail ermine]

Yeah

[proven nacelle]

Its a bit of a time waste if I spend a lot of time on the tiniest details but fail to make the actual game look nice haha

[frail ermine]

Can you send me your remix folder and rtx conf in DM? So I can Start right away after work with the new sky?

[proven nacelle]

Im at work still too, I will when I get home

Hey im your neighbour then 😉

@willow herald but calm down, its nowhere near release ready haha

I used assets from quixel, so I probably have to replace all materials when I actually want to release it anyway lol

[frail ermine]

Quixel doesnt use any CC0 licences.

And they dont allow distributing

Private use only

[proven nacelle]

Exactly

So that wasnt the smartest idea probably lol

[frail ermine]

As I already mentioned. I can help with that. Im quite familiar with creating materials #1207430508011724810

[proven nacelle]

I know, thanks for that 🙂

But Im already asking enough here lol

[lime fiber]

you guys need anything pinned?

[lime fiber]

if you download Quixel Mixer, the assets included with it are actually free to use

[proven nacelle]

Yea but thats not a lot, definetely not the ones I like most

[lime fiber]

i found it to be a good variety. i added more from ambientcg to use with it, and it's been enough so far

i've switched to InstaMAT now though and am using the procedural materials included with it along with making my own

[proven nacelle]

Maybe Ill give it a go

I only recently found the asset link channel here xD

[frail ermine]

AmbientCG is quite good.

[lime fiber]

some of their older materials are hit or miss, but any past 2020 have been great

[proven nacelle]

@willow herald here's a screenshot of the career garage, the smoke looks alright here but do you get what I mean when you look to the right?

and for fun, this is the main menu scene I talked about earlier :p

[grand crag]

I've updated the lazy roughness generator to version 0.2. The latest update includes a user-friendly GUI, making it easier to assign materials or add roughness materials. This enhancement will greatly improve the workflow and make the overall process much smoother. Give it a try and let me know what you think!
https://youtu.be/dVQgJkJEG14

[grand crag]

Update for Lazy Roughness Generator v0.3! This latest version introduces a new feature that allows you to quickly add a rough material to a single texture hash without the need to capture the entire scene.

In addition, the "Add car paint" and "Add car Wheel" options have been included to ensure compatibility with my upcoming script update. These options will facilitate the swift assignment of PBR textures specifically for car paint and car wheel textures. It's important to note that you still need to create your own PBR textures for these elements beforehand.

Please be aware that every time you press the "Save & Refresh" button, Remix will reload the mod. Therefore, it is crucial to assign all texture hashes to their respective textures before clicking the button, as Remix may take some time to reload the mod. Ensuring proper assignment beforehand will help avoid any delays or issues.

[vernal ermine]

Man ya got a UI and everything

[tough schooner]

hold on what is this

[grand crag]

This feature is designed to assist mod creators in swiftly assigning texture hashes to specific materials without the need to capture the entire scene or manually assign materials using Remix Toolkit/USD Composer. Its primary focus is to streamline the process of assigning materials for cars.

[tough schooner]

um i see

how it looks in game ?

[grand crag]

Main objective was to create a simple user interface (UI) that enables easy material assignment without the need for manual code editing. While UI design is not my strong suit, I aimed to keep it straightforward and user-friendly. The primary focus was on functionality and ensuring a seamless experience for the user.😉

[grand crag]

#1106549860393553961 message

[tough schooner]

is this only for nfs underground or for most wanted too ?

[vernal ermine]

It’s for anything you want

[tough schooner]

ok all of that sound good the most important part is how to install it but i can see that ur using visual studio

[grand crag]

When copying the texture hash in Remix, the assign material window should automatically pop up. However, there are instances where it may not function as expected, requiring you to manually switch to the app by pressing alt+Tab in order to assign the material.

[grand crag]

This is a Python script, so in order to run it, you will need to have Python installed on your system. I recommend using Visual Studio, as I have designed it to be launched from there. However, if you choose to run the script standalone, please be aware that there may be instances where the material doesn't save properly.

[tough schooner]

i do have it

so if i do exactly what ur doing in the video i am good ??

[grand crag]

Yes

[tough schooner]

ok i will try this

i see the video is for nfs undercover

is it the same steps for nfs mw

[grand crag]

Absolutely! Simply paste the script into your game folder, and the rest of the steps will be straightforward. Just follow along with the instructions in the video, and you'll be good to go.

[tough schooner]

look like its just simple steps thanks

[grand crag]

You're welcome! If you have any ideas or suggestions regarding the script, UI, or additional functions you'd like to see incorporated, please feel free to discuss them with me. I'm always open to feedback and eager to make improvements that enhance the modding experience in Remix.

[tough schooner]

is it should be like that ?

i like the shining car but where is the rest of the world

[grand crag]

If you find yourself having to assign a large number of texture hashes, capturing the scene is a more efficient solution. The script will load the captured texture folder and automatically assign the scene objects to a rough material. As a result, the scene will no longer have a shiny appearance. This method saves time and ensures consistent material assignment throughout the scene.
