Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

[grand crag]

Are you currently using Remix 0.4?

[tough schooner]

yea

[grand crag]

Are you still experiencing issues with flashing red materials even when the "Highlight Legacy Materials" option is not enabled?

[tough schooner]

Yea

I dont konw like the road is not shining but the buildings is shining

I captured the scene what should i do next ?

[grand crag]

Press "Save & Refresh" button.

[tough schooner]

Tbh i dont know i think i didnt do anything right 😂😂 this is not easy as i thought

[grand crag]

Could you please provide a video demonstrating the issue? I would like to determine if the material is flashing red or if it simply displays a red color. If it only shows a red material, it indicates that the albedo texture is missing. However, I have not made any changes to the albedo texture in the script. The occurrence of red materials typically happened prior to Remix 0.4. In Remix 0.4, the ability to load textures from memory instead of relying on local drive loading has been implemented.

[tough schooner]

Wait ok i will capture this and show you what i did from the start

I think like that will be easier for u to know

[grand crag]

Have you added "rough_only,usda" at the end of the line in your mod.usda file? I have implemented an automatic addition of this line in the script. If it doesn't appear in your mod.usda file, there might be a bug in the script that I need to fix.

[tough schooner]

i will see

this should be in the very end ?

[grand crag]

Yes

[tough schooner]

i didnt add that

[grand crag]

mod.usda file

[tough schooner]

nothing in the end

[grand crag]

Please make sure that you select the mod folder, rather than the rtx-remix folder.

[tough schooner]

this is the end of it for me

maybe bec ur using underground rtx files

i think this is diffrent than this one

[grand crag]

It seems that you selected the wrong folder, specifically "game folder\rtx-remix\mods\gamereadyAssets". As a result, the sub-layer was not assigned to the mod.usda file. I will address this issue in the next version and provide a fix. In the meantime, a simple solution would be to change the folder in the UI, which will easily resolve the problem.

[tough schooner]

um i got it

[grand crag]

In the next update, I will implement an automatic search for the mod.usda file, eliminating the need for manual assignment.

[tough schooner]

yea way better

then i think i will just bring every thing to normal until this moment

[grand crag]

Is the script functioning correctly now?

[tough schooner]

the rtx remix is working propaply but when i change the roughness in the rtx menu

the game become so shine

are u still testing ur mod ?

its not like a final version right ?

[vernal ermine]

Just turn down the roughness?

[tough schooner]

i did

now it is normal again as before

[grand crag]

This is not the final version of the script. I have plans to add more functions in the next major update, including the ability to create PBR textures on the fly. However, before releasing that update, I need to delve into the remix render API. Once it's released, you will have the capability to create PBR textures for car paint or car wheel materials directly. However, please note that you will still need to install additional software, such as ChaiNNer, to accomplish this.

[tough schooner]

Yea np i am just looking forward to make the game look better

But yea i do believe this game is gonna be so realistic in the end

I just thinking can u make it a day cycle in game ?

[grand crag]

I haven't modded NFSMW, but I'm curious if the game includes a sky mesh. If there is a sky present, it might be possible to write a script that makes it spin around, creating a day cycle effect.

[vernal ermine]

No, not really.

[tough schooner]

um yea tbh i tried that on another version just for fun i didnt work

[vernal ermine]

There’s a sky mesh yes

The sky is wonky from what I remember tho. It’s made of two meshes per tradition with nfs games

[tough schooner]

what is expected more from mod like that ?

anymore to add?

[vernal ermine]

What mod

[tough schooner]

rtx remix mod

[vernal ermine]

[tough schooner]

tbh its good enough u did a great job

but i was just woundering

[leaden lava]

asset replacement and lighting, mainly

[tough schooner]

Guys i saw that in youtube

Its rtx remix with night

I wonder how 🤔

[woeful wagon]

What are you wondering about?

My video/project btw

couple higher quality screenshots here from my #1191547320915988610 post

It's just very little light coming from sky. + some lights added to streetlights and headlight on some cars

[dark umbra]

Looks really nice, with bright headlights and bright enough sky - you can see everything, without making it unrealistic.
But my suggestion would be adding emissive lights to traffic cars, as nfsu2 without traffic headlights it's impossible to see traffic cars in some situations. About proper traffic headlights I don't really think it's possible to fix problems wich nfsu2 has (headlights popping, + stucking in air), but maybe with MW LODs system it will be less obvious.

Does nfs mw finally works with day night system, or it's still impossible, so it's gonna need some work arounds?

Thanks for your hard work, hope you will release it!

[woeful wagon]

Oh yeah I really didn't put a whole lot of effort into it. It was meant to see how interested people were in a night mod for the game. My efforts are mostly for the regular day mod.

I did have an issue with things getting stuck in air(brake lights were the big one) when I attached lights to them. Making them emissive "fixed" the issue, but they don't really give off light the way they should I think. Could be my fault, I'm not sure. Like I said it was just quickly done to see what it would look like and if anyone would be interested in it.

Day/night system I have no clue how you would even do that lol. It's not natively in a game feature so I don't know how possible it is through modding or wizard remix work.

I plan on releasing my early work between end of March and middle of April. Few disclaimers 1)It was all done by me and I have no experience with game dev, modding, or anything even remotely close to this 2)A lot of this is AI. For a solo learner, this was the easiest way for me to work on the project. My plan is start with AI and replace with new materials that I get myself. I do think my workflow has resulted in better than average AI results or that people would expect(I mean I really think the road looks fantastic)

[wide warren]

wow this is amazing

better than plak

[leaden lava]

it'd be really interesting if they added a time cycle feature with a separate running 'clock' that you could change the speed of and make multiple contained lighting setups for Remix to interpolate between... that's the only way I can imagine this tool having multiple ToDs in one mod

[frail ermine]

looks awesome man

[tough schooner]

Can you please tell me how to do that ?

And btw this was the video of your i saw in yt

[uneven ledge]

Damn this looks nice

[winter totem]

Hi guys. Has anyone had success, will modifications be published so that others can try it?

[leaden lava]

scroll up for 3 seconds

[winter totem]

please show me if it's not difficult.

[leaden lava]

None of the Remix mods here are finished but pretty much it should be as simple as plopping the files in over an existing game installation

[tough schooner]

I wanted to do a project by my self but i couldnt get how to do it tbh i have been trying for long especially that night mod cycle idea that i have

[proven nacelle]

Yes but it will look terrible if you just do that

[leaden lava]

Well yeah cuz the mod isn't finished yet

You're stating the obvious

[proven nacelle]

i thought you meant dragging and dropping the rtx remix files from GitHub in there

With no modifications

[dull goblet]

Most games need some sort of setup process.

to loop ok

[proven nacelle]

Yes

But nfsmw needs a lot of work

[leaden lava]

For the NFS games I only distinctly know about having to manually set the res in widescreenfix that's about it

[agile urchin]

Hey, where can I download the preset?

[dark umbra]

#1106549860393553961 message

[agile urchin]

Ah ty 🙂

[median gale]

can you guys help me i did everything said but my game isnt opening

[leaden lava]

... gonna need more details than just "isn't opening"

[median gale]

when im opening the game this happens

[dark umbra]

With Ray Reconstruction we get super stable shadows! (ALL screenshots are in motion) To use Ray Reconsturuction in NFS:MW You need .trex folder from portal rtx, and bridge from github, only this way it works

[tough schooner]

nice

i should get the latest update ?

[dark umbra]

Hey your scrip works, but unfortunately not the "Add ignore Hash" button I selected it click on Save & Refresh button, restarted game. But textures selected to be ignored where still glossy. What do you think I'm doing wrong?

I used both ways for ignore folder just captures/textures, and cptures/textures/car texture, neither helped.

Mod folder im using rtx-remix/mods/gameReadyAssets/subusd

[grand crag]

Ok, let me check

The "Add Ignore Hash" function is utilized to prevent apply any roughness value to the material. Only affect by the material using the Legacy Material setting or texture replacement. The "Add Car Paint" and "Add Car Wheel" in a similar manner. The only distinction is that the "Add Rough Hash" function creates a rough material with a roughness value of 0.7.

The reason for having three types of "Ignore texture" is because I have another script that applies different types of car paint to the car body. Additionally, for the "Add Car Wheel" function, I use a global PBR texture set consisting of roughness, metallic, normal, and height maps for the wheel texture.

In order to use the new version while retaining the previous settings, please delete the old version file named "lazy_rough_only_material_v0.x.py". Then, rename the file lazy_roughess.conf to lazy_material.conf.

[dark umbra]

Unfortunately when apply suggested in tutorial rtx remix settings everything becomes glossy, neither of parameters have effect on game for some reason (ignore/rough), after save and restart of game

[dark umbra]

wait i need to use this file and rename lazy_roughess.conf to lazy_material.conf inside downloaded file right?

[grand crag]

You don't need to restart the game for it to work. Simply press "Save and Refresh", Remix will automatically updated without the need for a game restart.

[grand crag]

yes

[grand crag]

I have also fixed some bugs, including the issue where the roughness setting did not have any effect in the previous version.

[dark umbra]

no effect, i think I'm doing something wrong. Im coping texture hash in remix, i see that hash in script I click Add rough Hash > save refresh - nothing changes. Look picture 3 inside rough only after click ignore texture therese only empty thing. (I tried one more time with paint and rough - only empty rough_only.usda)

The scrip creates rough_only.usda but it's always "empty" - doesnt save any parameters

[grand crag]

The "Ignore Folder" option should not be set to the capture folder. I have a separate folder specifically designated for storing all the car body textures that need to be ignored. If you don't have a dedicated folder for tracking the ignored textures, you can simply browse to any empty folder without any textures inside.

[dark umbra]

Worked, gonna drive fix whole map now! BIG THANK YOU MAN!

[grand crag]

I plan to create a new version that allows for easy assignment of different material, expanding beyond just applying roughness. It will be similar to a "semi-interactive" material library, offering more versatility in material apply.

[maiden osprey]

what's the point of storing all car textures? it looks like it's rendering car textures on top of the vinyls just like when I'm importing textures from ps2 emulator

[grand crag]

For internal research purposes and as a reference for texture creation.

[maiden osprey]

use nfs texed to extract textures or binary tool

[grand crag]

I also need the texture hash. Why should I use an additional tool when Remix can already capture the texture for me?

[maiden osprey]

because the texture you have is broken and not reusable

[grand crag]

Alright, I understand that you may not be fully aware of the situation. In Remix, we are unable to recreate the albedo texture due to the random texture hash associated with the car. As a workaround, I have utilized a combined decal body texture to create the roughness, metallic, and normal map textures. However, I require an actual complete texture instead of a unique texture for different parts. Do you have any suggestions on how I can improve the efficiency of my approach?

[frail ermine]

someone wants skydome?

preconfigured for 1 of 3 or 4 skies, so you still have to capture the others and apply it to them

also usable as real HDRI

[lime fiber]

your screenshots are all very washed out. are they HDR?

[frail ermine]

yeah

[frail ermine]

the remix hdri function is aweful

[opaque junco]

What you stuck on? I've done a fair bit with it

[frail ermine]

sky is always overbright

[opaque junco]

Yea same issue, darken it a lot in Photoshop using exposure and gamma

[frail ermine]

with raw filter? or with standart tools?

[opaque junco]

Image>adjustments>exposure

[frail ermine]

ok

[dark umbra]

@grand crag Hey, if I remember correctly you did "fix" day night system in GTASA, so do you have any idea how can be done similar things in NFSMW? Here is pic 1 just normal use of distant lights which are fully static. Pic 2 Sun does effects shadows placement (It "works accurate"), but fist sun colour temperature isn't customisable, and second look pic 3 - sun lighting "jumps" with movement of the car.

[grand crag]

I am using a script to add an object in the game and attach it to the camera position. The object's position is calculated based on the game time. If NFS doesn't provide game time, you can simply rotate the object slightly on each frame. After replacing this object in Remix, you can add a sphere sky and place a real sun sphere object, Additionally, you can include a moon and a sphere light to cast light. Ensure that you position them far away from the origin.

[wide warren]

ah..soo pisss...amazing

https://tenor.com/view/bathroom-boy-men-gross-kid-gif-16174716

[frail ermine]

U could use VltED or OGVI for changing suncolors

[dark umbra]

i mean i love it - piss filter forever

[wide warren]

Yes

best

it slightly reminds me of E3

but for when its nearly finished and we ( i mean y'all ) get to the polishing phase, the filter wasnt only yellow but a slight dark green tint too

[dark umbra]

I mean main problem with build in sun is that when car moves it flickers whole world, so the only way is to do what Hemry said.

[dark umbra]

Im not doing anything, the only guy working spesificly on MW right now is BigBoy. But thanks to Hemry script as you can see BMW and any other vehicle finally has working paint! So game is pretty much playable, only annoying thing is weather (Sun, rain, skybox, and no effect of rain on roads - thoose things need smart guy which knows what to do)

But man Ray Reconstruction is doing some magic stuff - it looks real life some times

[wide warren]

looks so good

[leaden lava]

WOAG

[wide warren]

wang

[grand crag]

For the upcoming script update, you can utilize a custom material similar to the one shown in my screenshot. Since all my scripts are hardcoded to assign only three materials, I will modify them to be compatible with a "material.usda" or any other custom name that allows for the application of different material types.

[leaden lava]

pretty

The ULTIMATE guide of AdamPlayer NFS MW RTX - ⁠Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005)

1. Get clean game with 0 mods (use your own CD drive version or search for .iso version). [Note- If you have download it from somewhere which has no mods, otherwise you will have weird issues]
2. Install AdamPlayer RTX extract into game folder.
3. Use graphics settings shown on screenshot - highest World Level Of Detail and Car Geometry, rest doesn't matter. To apply settings get in out of garage.
4. (Optional) HUD Fix
   If you have HUD Fix issues where everything is looking like blocks then you can use this fix.
5. (Optional) AntiCull Mod Optional
   If you use Anti-Culling Lights in RTX-Remix and are satisfied with that, do not apply this. This will decrease performance at the cost of removing any culling in front of the player's camera.
   Make sure to make a backup of speed2.exe!
   Use LunarIPS or IPStool to apply the IPS patch to your speed.exe. In ROM section put your speed.exe, in IPS section put speedMW-AntiCull.ips, then download Result, rename downloaded file to speed.exe and put it inside game folder (with replace)

RTX REMIX SETTINGS
press Alt+X to open RTX REMIX menu
• remove yellow filter - Rendering > Post-Processing > Tonemapping - set all Color Balance values to 1 .
• time of day - Game Setup > Step 2: Parameter Tuning > Fallback Light - change values of Fallback Light Direction to change position of the sun, u can also fully disable sun by setting Fallback Light Mode to Never. To change sky brightness go too - Game Setup > Step 2: Parameter Tuning > Fallback Light > Sky Tunnig - change Sky brightness value.

[grand crag]

Wait, did you manage to capture the entire scene within just one day?😱

[dark umbra]

~12 hours, im not sure XD
Actually it was easy - before i was marking shadow maps, it was before rtx remix update that you could select texture with mouse, so i drive 10 meters and then scroll through whole list of textures to find shadow map there, it was pain.
This selecting process was way easier with RED colour flashing what should be selected and comfortable mouse click selection.

[uncut citrus]

sounds like we need up to date conf

[dark umbra]

It is inside - Adam mod now

[storm cobalt]

might be best to pin this for now to just make questions a lot less often

[uncut citrus]

Guessing it's Adam's mod that makes every car orange?

Tried loading a capture w/ the existing mod files and I get the wackiest thing

[opal trail]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oq4F_SHc_tI

[heady schooner]

@opal trail if i would Remake it. I would put the clouds away from the sky. ( there are enough clouds in the sky in reallive, we didnt need them ingame too.) And reduce the Sun intensity a bit. The sun is blinding a bit too much in the video. And i saw a Screenshot from mw how it would look without coulds and active HD textures. It was nice.

[wheat maple]

do we have to build bridge & dxvk ourselves?

[lime fiber]

use the downloader in #remix-beginners-guide

[wheat maple]

Thank's, im downloading it

[storm cobalt]

anyone have issues of a sun showing through geometry?

also looking for Textures

[uncut citrus]

Yeah the sun goes throug the floor and walls

[dark umbra]

As far as I know it can't be removed, so download nfsmw extra options, enable time of day change, when you will be in game go to video settings, instead of resolution slider you will see time slider, put it in the middle

[proven nacelle]

I am too, sometimes

[frail ermine]

Just so you know, i am still working on sky replacements

[dark umbra]

Underground 2 has sky replacements, but they are switching very rapidly, not smooth as original game did, do you think you can do it properly in mw?

[frail ermine]

In ug2 we only use 1 sky

[frail ermine]

Well, only when used 1 sky, if 1 get to make 3 like cloudy, sunny (clean) and partly clouded it could also have that effect

[dark umbra]

So what is that then? Anyway, I already seen MW doesn't switch skybox at all right now, does your game does that? (especially with ur own skybox'es).

[leaden lava]

woag

[frail ermine]

you have selected the skys as sky, but since we replaced the skybox completely so its wrong to select it as sky

you could try this:

and it wont happen anymore

[neat moth]

Hey guys 🙂
Can someone help me to setup nfs most wanted with rtx remix?

[sinful seal]

😮

[proven nacelle]

Nice!

[frail ermine]

Yeah, i just have to figure out hdri in remix

[stuck radish]

How do I save a message because I NEED to play this later xD

[dark umbra]

Copy this:

#1106549860393553961 message

Or just ask in this channel

[dark umbra]

Game still switches sky boxes (starts position changes slightly for 1 frame, sky itself stays same blue colour - doesn't go black), but it is not noticeable, if you aren't looking for it. So yea it fixed thanks.

[inland frost]

Guys, is it possible to export this map from this video here and put it in the original MW?

[frail ermine]

Only on airfield?

[dark umbra]

Also remember it happening on mountain roads, but yeah with your conf is not a big deal (it's not noticeable in normal race).

[drowsy bay]

for some reason it dont want to download remix with downloader

when i press enter it just close

[magic saddle]

does anyone lknow if u can install the hd vinyls mod with remix?

trying now anyways

wow u actually can sick

okay nevermind, it works but as soon as you click on career mode the car models bug the fuck out

kinda jarring having path tracing with the low poly vinyls

[lunar schooner]

In what way?

[magic saddle]

umm try it man i genuinly cant even explain the model is so fucked

beyond explanation

@lunar schooner

[lunar schooner]

Interesting

[vale python]

Piss for life

🗿

Wait that sounds off

You got what i meant

[leaden lava]

I mean that's what you do

[vale python]

You ain't wrong 🤔

[tough schooner]

let me guss finally an update

[tough schooner]

this is amazing thanks for the update @dark umbra

[heady schooner]

Is there s.th. New about when rtx remix mod for most wanted will be Release?

[dark umbra]

No, mostly just wait and hope at Big Boy, it could be today, one month, or even later. Only he knows.

[heady schooner]

Ok then we could only wait for him.

[silver dagger]

Tried these steps THe game didn't launch for me after dooing all of these.

Also step 2 is not the same as explained this file does not exist after getting the wide screen fix from the site linked

[dark umbra]

Hope you didn't install game at C: drive.

It should be there, you need to download that file from link, open it and click on nfsmwwidescreen something, than that file you put into the game.

[silver dagger]

Nope It not on my WIndows Boot drive. Installed on a secondard SSD (D Drive)

[silver dagger]

these were the only files it gave me . nothing in the scripts folder said you instructed

[dark umbra]

man

[dark umbra]

Do what guide says slowly step by step

[silver dagger]

That Widescreen fix site sends me to this git repository

https://github.com/ThirteenAG/WidescreenFixesPack

[dark umbra]

Can you just try to use provided links?

[silver dagger]

this link came from the link you provided

[dark umbra]

Click on my link > download section

[silver dagger]

cool got the files now.

Your is not specific enough bro. I was clicking on the source links.

unistalled the game and gonna restart now from step 1

[dark umbra]

Considering how hard is that for you: step 4. You need to register in github in order to download rtx remix, if you are to lazy for that you can download it from here without registration https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/releases

[silver dagger]

Like I said its not hard I've got the RTX remix files already this was easier than step 2

[silver dagger]

how do I do this?

[gritty vector]

Yes

[dark umbra]

Show me your nfs mw install folder. (Game shouldn't be black)

[versed wigeon]

@dark umbra i saw that you managed to make ray reconstruction work. Can you tell me which files do i need because when i copy the .trex folder from portal rtx the game doesnt start?

[versed wigeon]

i managed to get ray reconstrucion working. I copied these files from portal rtx .trex folder to .trex folder in nfs mw : d3d9.dll , nvngx_dlss.dll , nvngx_dlssd.dll , nvngx_dlssg.dll. The differences are really big especially because i have to play on ultra performance dlss and the shadows are know super crisp instead of being like i blob on the road!

[wild tiger]

can someone give a link to download AdamPlayerRTX mod for most wanted? this file have been deleted from github...

[dark umbra]

Original adam player file: https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/1Cgkh-k9BqAiMAFmdiPqP0aJ73nznzljT/view?usp=drive_link

The one with properly working car reflections: #1106549860393553961 message

[wild tiger]

thanks

[ionic saffron]

is this normal? only the Mirror, Sky & UI render...

[ionic saffron]

i installed this one btw

[dark umbra]

Nah, you install it wrong, do it again slowly, follow all step's correctly.

[ionic saffron]

reinstalled it, still same problem

unless this doesn't work with MWO, i don't see the problem

[dark umbra]

Wich part of "0 mods" you don't understand...

Get clean game, follow guide, after getting working RTX, try mods, not the other way around.

[real meteor]

You know, usually I'm not the one to complain but step 4 imo is unintuitive when reading the steps' description. "Put this inside game folder <then there goes the link to supposedly the mysterious "THIS">, and while I see the link ends with 'build.yml' and I deduce how "THIS" might be the file 'build.yml' that I would have to put inside game folder... but after clicking on said link it takes me to a huge list with different threads (e.g. 'Merge branch X into main' etc. etc.), and now I'm not so sure I follow it correctly because there's no 'build'yml' file seen anywhere near. Ofc when I click the word 'build.yml' there (which is btw written in blue) it takes me to the code page with a teeny-tiny download button to the right of it, but again I'm not sure whether this 'build.yml' file is actually "THIS" (to put inside game folder) from the guide, or not. Tip for the future guides guys: please write down what exact things to put, if you may. Like, "Put the file put_me_there.please inside X, download it from Y." Thank you in advance. tl;dr: step4's instructions unclear, pls advise.

[real meteor]

Ok I tried putting bridge-remix's build.yml into game folder, and dxvk-remix's build.yml into .trex folder, put AdamPlayer RTX mod there, and the game told me the GPU lacks the support, and will then exit. What can I say, as I expected what a load of carp it is. Don't get me wrong I respect the work of modders, it's just I absolutely hate how RTX Remix doesn't support at least Pascals (and I own a GTX1070) because it's a GPU capable of ray tracing which is proven by the fact the games like CONTROL (or Quake 2 RTX. Or even OFFICIAL (!!!) Nvidia RTX demos (like RTX Attick demo) run RTX just fine on it. Yes, the perf is bad, but Pascals. can. run. RTX. Period. It's just devs & Nvidia engineers decided to stop optimizing RTX for older GPUs (Pascals included), so they artificially made those obsolete. And that's what I call a load of carp. (I honestly don't remember if Discord blocks obscene words by default, or server filter might kick in.)

[tranquil storm]

GTX cards don't support DLSS. And for RTX Remix mods, ESPECIALLY on a Low End RTX-GPU (like 3050), You NEED to be able to use DLSS, otherwise you would have a Powerpoint Slideshow with less than a frame per second because of how RTX-Remix running in Native Resolution is Resource hungry (in terms of VRam, you would need at least 16GB and Maybe then you wouldn't have to use it, but the performance on That GPU would still be Bad af). Yes, This GTX can do some RT, but it doesn't matter if it doesn't support Other Features that Nvidia wants you to have on your GPU, Just so you would be able to play on at least 30fps. If Nvidia would (somehow with fooken magic) unlock running RTXRemix on this GPU, then people would bombard them with bad Feedback because of Extremly low framerates in 2010 games, Only because they're too dumb to understand that this is Resource hungry, And requires GPU Supporting DLSS. But - No one's blocking you to modify RTX Remix to get it running on a Non-RTX GPU in it's code because it's OpenSource and Compile your own version of it, but like i said - Without DLSS you won't get far (it might even be another blockade, because it is on by Default).

tl;dr: Without DLSS, you need better pc lolk.

[real meteor]

thx for detailed explanation! No, really - thank you! I actually tried DLSS unlocker in some games, and it did wonders in, say, WRC Generations or Lords of the Fallen (2023). So, uh, yeah it sounds interesting - if only I could code, haha. But I assume it's no rocket science to modify it to run on a non-rtx gpu, so I might have a look some day. Just out of curiosity :))))) But again thanks for pointing that out!

[tranquil storm]

Oh, i forgot about that one. Well, RTX Remix Doesn't support at all AMD's FSR, but maybe by file replacement you might be able to at least use DLAA? Maybe it's worth a shot, but like i said - Perf. will still be bad, and Nowadays when we (almost) have access to Ray Reconstruction in RTX Remix we can even solve some issues (like Ghosting in some cases) and make Game's look even better so you would still have a Bad Experience, lacking required Hardware as Nvidia stated (And i'll repeat again - they have Reasons not to support older GPUs here). Anyway - No one's blocking you to modify the code just so you can try it (and chatGPT is always here to help, or maybe even some people on #general-remix , i guess).

[real meteor]

Got it, thanks again 🙂

[lime fiber]

@long epoch this is the proper thread for it

[long epoch]

thanks

[lime fiber]

hopefully whoever is running the mod can walk you through it 🙂

[long epoch]

btw wait we know us @lime fiber you were on my server years ago I remember 😄 glad to see you again

[long epoch]

thanks 🙂

[lime fiber]

yep, long since moved on from ReShade stuff after certain events

Thanks, hope you enjoyed them

welcome here

Thx

[vague mesa]

Please show a video lesson on how to assemble the RTX REMIX within the game. Thanks!

[vague mesa]

Thanks!

Is there a way to put maximum performance in bonus cars in NFSMW2005?

[lunar schooner]

No idea

Honestly, I thought I was in the underground 2 channel

[proven nacelle]

Is this mod dead? I personally havent worked on it for a long time but i have been busy lol

[fluid star]

a 2060 is bether than a 3050 i think 💀

i will have a paint 3d animation

[stable fern]

Hey there, just saw a video of the mod and it looks incredible, what the fuck, really good job!

Is there any tutorial on how to install this?

[stable fern]

This is the latest guide, right?

[dark umbra]

Yes

[stable fern]

Oh lol, thanks ❤️

[stable fern]

wow, just tried it, gpu very bad, hahahaha

i'm using a 3060ti and yup it's not nearly enough, getting around 35 fps

[graceful crane]

try dlss ultra perfomance

[round sage]

got the centering f*ed for some reason, any help? followed linked tutorial

nvm, changed windowed mode in widescreenfix ini to borderless, works like a charm now

[full bloom]

Can anyone help me out a bit? I followed the instructions step by step and do have the game running but it just looks kinda shit

[dark umbra]

Show picture of game running AND game folder

[dark umbra]

Seems fine, just make sure that world level of detail and car geometry are on the highest setting (game likes to reset them).

Also press alt+x and use dlss quality or native for better image quality

[mighty wind]

@dark umbra Thank you very much for this guide. RTX works pretty good. (RTX 4090 & 5800X3D)

[full bloom]

I don't think one screenshot says enough.... textures are like ps2 level.... world lod and car geometry are on the highest settings, dlss is on quality and I can't find a native option.

[full bloom]

its probably something simple but I don't know shit about graphics mods since I never use them so I'm sorry for bothering you. This is the first one I ever installed since I just recently built a new PC with a 4070

[dark umbra]

disable dlss - native resolution. Anyway its current state of mod, we are waiting for Big Boy to release his stuff (he upscaled every texture properly), when it happen only he knows.

[full bloom]

oh.... makes sense

[woeful wagon]

Update on that. School has been super insanely a lot of work recently (randomly assigned group projects are the worst thing on this planet btw) so I'm behind on where I wanted to be by now. I've got 2 more weeks of classes including finals and that's much more important at the moment. Also, admittedly I haven't felt very motivated to work on the project and I really don't want this to come out really half assed or turn out garbage. The toolkit turned out very underwhelming for my workflow and just isn't the speed boost for me I thought it would be, unfortunately.

I think I said this month I'd have something out, but it's more likely going to be next month and probably not as finished as I had hoped it would be.

[leaden tinsel]

installed mw rtx remix, trying to launch it and I'm getting this error. How to fix?

[storm cobalt]

Hmm should I help yall with models or textures if I have time?

[storm cobalt]

it would be great overall for the progress of the mod

[dusty crater]

sup dude, i just saw a video and im trying to put this. Alread have everything installed, but a little bit confused about which version of mod files should i install. Can you link me the gdrive to download this files?

[mighty wind]

@dusty crater hey mate, i just followed this tutorial which already have all the dl links. #1106549860393553961 message
Try to repeat these steps and it should work.

[dusty crater]

thanks, just send you the message and found it haha, but we have to install in a clean nfsmw right? Redux Mod doesnt work?

[wheat ingot]

does anyone have .conf file ? It's so painful to navigate in the rtx menu, mouse is not synced with cursor

also u guys use specific dxvk and bridge builds for mw 2005 ? or just going iwth latest ? I donwloaded latest builds, but seeing some weird stuff happening

[fervent stirrup]

I actually do, and I was thinking to share it with you guys, I somehow managed to make it playable from 40 to 60 fps and still have most of the shaders active, let me know if it works for you. I played this with an RTX 3060

paste it in your root folder, I hope it works for you

[weary ether]

hello how can i get full screeen? pls

[frail ermine]

by using the correct widescreenmode

[crimson atlas]

Responding to the dxvk, I'm actually using the one from the Runtime https://github.com/Kim2091/RTX-Remix-Downloader/releases/latest/download/RTX.Remix.Downloader.exe

Those files plus the adam rtx remix https://drive.google.com/file/u/1/d/1Cgkh-k9BqAiMAFmdiPqP0aJ73nznzljT/view?usp=drive_link

[nimble viper]

hi can someone help, i tried the widescreenfix but idk if i did it right and my game looks kinda shit

[wheat ingot]

make sure u have windowedmode set to 1 or 4 to have proper fullscreen

[wheat ingot]

for some reason my game doesn't start with your version, although the one from websites works fine, only mouse cursor is duplicated into two when im in rtx menu 😅

[wheat ingot]

did you rename d3d9.dll to d3d9.asi ? that should work if not, or maybe wrong dll from different build mixed up with dxvk and bridge

[nimble viper]

thx, its fullscreen now

but do you know how i can fix these graphics

[wheat ingot]

actualy im not really sure, I couldn't even edit my own capture in the remix toolkit

it doesn't let me to edit any material, only select, but seeing no info

[nimble viper]

u mean this?

[wheat ingot]

thats for capturing scene, which works if you disable enhanced assets, but after opening the capture in rtx remix toolkit, can't make any changes

i think we have to recreate rough_only.usdathat ppl made for NFSU2, so theres no shiny / reflective stuff everywhere and only car stays so etc

looks different on my side though

[dark umbra]

Use suggested in game graphics settings (highest level of detail and car geometry)
#1106549860393553961 message

[dark umbra]

You clearly have newest confing, but older mod (without roughness map), delete old rtx-remix folder download new one #1106549860393553961 message (5. Link)

[nimble viper]

I did, but it looks weird

[dark umbra]

Apply settings, get in out of garage (nfsmw applies settings only after loading in out of places)

[nimble viper]

all the other settings turned down or low, right?

[dark umbra]

Doesn't matter, but yeah better low to avoid any issues

[nimble viper]

ok, I did it but

it looks the same

[dark umbra]

Did you get in out of garage, if yes then you might not installed latest version of mod,.use this #1106549860393553961 message

[nimble viper]

actually i did install from your guide, i will try again

[dark umbra]

I think you did wrong step 5.
Just redo that one specifically, put files from zip into game folder with replacement that's it

[nimble viper]

now it looks like this

but i have about 30-40 fps and the game feels kinda slowmo

is a 4070 super not enough?

[nova heron]

men my rtx 4090 have a bad time running it

i can't use native ... it,s like 10 fps

[obtuse saddle]

who is doing hq buildings and assets for this mod

[storm cobalt]

I can do the cars n shit (e.g hq bumpers and stuff). Never tried making building assets cause I suck at it haha

Mainly really a character artist (2d and 3d) but I can do cars, various weapon stuff, etc... but buildings scare me

I do guess I should learn to branch out and challenge myelf tho

[nimble viper]

Damn

[dark umbra]

Use this:

[dark umbra]

You can decrease ray tracing settings, and play with dlss settings

[nimble viper]

Yes, I will try

Thx for the help

[high escarp]

hello how can i make it look like in the youtube video ?

[dark umbra]

Follow this guide #1106549860393553961 message

[leaden tinsel]

do you have one that works?
it could be the case with mine

[high escarp]

my monitor is 2k. what should i do ?

[graceful crane]

wdym by 2k

like perfomance?

[high escarp]

resolution

[high escarp]

i did but it crashed.

[dark umbra]

Try again slowly step by step

[leaden tinsel]

somehow it still doesn't work

i'll send the d3d9 log rq

[wheat ingot]

try maybe download the build from this someone posted before , the downloader of bridge and dxvk#1106549860393553961 message

[leaden tinsel]

doesn't work

it's just like ug2 remix all over again

[wheat ingot]

what gpu u got ?

[leaden tinsel]

3050 laptop

[wheat ingot]

do you have switchatble graphics ?

[leaden tinsel]

yes

[wheat ingot]

maybe u gotta set process for the rtx one ?

[leaden tinsel]

how to do that

[wheat ingot]

whats the integrated gpu ? intel ?

hd graphics or amd

[leaden tinsel]

intel

[wheat ingot]

should have the control panel if u right click desktop

[leaden tinsel]

no wait, amd

[wheat ingot]

there u can like find the switchable settings and find the exe of game

[wheat ingot]

should be same for both tbh

should be something like this, haven't see the UI for years maybe looks different

[leaden tinsel]

sadly i don't have that

[wheat ingot]

maybe its in nvidia control panel or something

[leaden tinsel]

they removed it since the adrenalin 2020 build

[wheat ingot]

im not sure how rtx laptops behave in this

try to go graphics settings in win

[leaden tinsel]

for some reason the game shows up as nfs underground

it did in radeon software too

[wheat ingot]

then when u add process to that u can choose gpu i think

its probably cause its both speed.exe

[leaden tinsel]

not true

i have another copy of mw and it shows up normally

[wheat ingot]

ah you keep og and then have copy with rtx mods ?

think that should still work though

[leaden tinsel]

except that copy is modded

heavily

[wheat ingot]

well thats most likely the reason i think

people suggest to go vannila install then install rtx mod only with widescreenfix

[leaden tinsel]

i downloaded a repack to have a second, clean copy, to install the remix into

so that I wouldn't potentially ruin my main modded copy

[wheat ingot]

try clean no mods version make third copy, and try only remix and widescreen on that

[leaden tinsel]

now I see that, for some unfathomable reason, it shows up as nfs underground

[wheat ingot]

probably some of mods could cause or idk

[leaden tinsel]

no, I downloaded it from a link in r/abandonware

and all it had was widescreen fix

[wheat ingot]

its most likely the gpu issue then, doesn't load with rtx or something messed up in files

[leaden tinsel]

i'll try reinstalling my main copy, 100% clean, with only widescreen fix

[wheat ingot]

what if u try add bridge.exe process to that instead

and set gpu to rtx one

[uncut hatch]

would my 6950xt run it decently?

[graceful crane]

try and see

[leaden tinsel]

after reinstalling a clean copy and installing rtx remix according to instructions, I have concluded it still doesn't goddamn work

[lunar schooner]

Interesting analysis

[dark umbra]

Does portal rtx works?

[leaden tinsel]

i don't play portal

but ug2 remix is known by me to not work, no matter what I throw at it

which is strange, especially because my laptop does have an rtx gpu

[lunar schooner]

Disable the igpu and try again

[leaden tinsel]

it worked

but it's very laggy

and the m3 is orange

[lunar schooner]

Press alt+x and change graphics settings

idk about the orange cars

[leaden tinsel]

i can't comprehend the menu

[lunar schooner]

There should be a button called graphics settings menu at the top

Click that

[leaden tinsel]

got it

no matter how low I set the settings to, it's still laggy

and the vram usage is at 67% minimum

[wheat ingot]

u have wrong version then of adams rtx-remix folder

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HrHRZdYUa4vwlNKvwsbd_uYaxTnoKnhe/view?usp=sharing

[storm cobalt]

how do i download this game?

[leaden bramble]

why are roads and buildings reflective for me

is there something wrong with my settings?

this is the problem

[leaden bramble]

is it because i have black edition?

[paper rover]

seems like yours roughness map is not loaded properly

you can always go to materials options

and move roughness option

slider

[leaden bramble]

alr lemme try

[leaden bramble]

its fixed but the shadows are really blurry

look at the shadows

[lunar schooner]

USe ray reconstruction

[leaden bramble]

how?

[lunar schooner]

Very carefully

[leaden bramble]

is it in the menu?

[leaden bramble]

dude how?💀

[graceful crane]

press alt+x and click the ray reconstruction

[leaden bramble]

can you send a photo of it in the menu?

[wispy marsh]

How install this mod on nfs mw2005?

[dark umbra]

#1106549860393553961 message
Use second method of rtx remix install to get latest build of rtx remix with Ray Reconstruction (improves shadows and other stuff)

[vale python]

big time in the discord

[leaden bramble]

yea it fixed the shadows but the game still looks like crap

[lunar schooner]

[leaden bramble]

can someone give me their rtx config file?

in which it works perfectly

[dark umbra]

Get RTX6090superXSMAXultraEDITION run it in 8k - it will fix problem

Seriously tho - we waiting for Big Boy to finish his mod, it will have pretty much all textures upscaled/reworked so it will look amazing, until then we have this. When it going to happen? > #1106549860393553961 message

[leaden bramble]

damnn never thought about that🤯

[wispy marsh]

Is there a video guide on how to install this mod for NFS MW 2005?

[graceful crane]

you can check the pins

[leaden bramble]

guys is it possible to texture mods with this?

for roads and buildingss

[dark umbra]

No, only if you manually replace textures through rtx remix

[leaden bramble]

okk

[grave carbon]

how do i put the bridge and dxvk files in the game folder? idk how to download them

can someone jsut send me them oiver discord

[desert basin]

carefully

[grave carbon]

wdym carefully

idk how to download it

[desert basin]

very carefully

[grave carbon]

pls explain

[sage vortex]

💀 why does it looks like that

also there are two cursors

[exotic fractal]

check your graphics settings, like this photo (its on the pin)

[sage vortex]

where is d3d9.shaderModel

[dark umbra]

You looking for wrong pins, use latest pinned massage it has that shader model

[sage vortex]

thanks

somehow it looks worse

[leaden bramble]

can you show me your game folder?

i had this problem too

now its fixed

[leaden bramble]

what gpu?

try this

[sage vortex]

4050 mobile

[leaden bramble]

set dlss setting as you wish

[leaden bramble]

alr

paste it your game folder

then try

[sage vortex]

thanks

it does look better

but

there are very less details on the car

[leaden bramble]

can you show how it looks like

[sage vortex]

i am uploading the image

why is it so slow here for a 3.5 mb image

[leaden bramble]

like this?

did you change dlss to quality?

[leaden bramble]

or try turning it off

[sage vortex]

even after changing it, no effect on car

[leaden bramble]

i have a 3050 laptop so yk

[leaden bramble]

but it doesnt look like this?

[sage vortex]

nope

there are no details on the car

[leaden bramble]

hmm

[sage vortex]

I'll try a different car

[leaden bramble]

yea i was gonna say that

try m3

is it better?

[sage vortex]

yup it does look better

[leaden bramble]

also if you want to get rid of two cursors

[sage vortex]

thanks

[leaden bramble]

you have to sacrifice 10 seconds of your gameplay

[sage vortex]

ahh

like the opening?

can I make the game look sharper? the details are more like.. curvy

[leaden bramble]

try turning off ray reconstruction

[sage vortex]

very grainy now

[leaden bramble]

ok soo

go to denoising

and turn on reference mode

and denoising aswell

[leaden bramble]

i had some problems with these

so i turned on ray reconstruction

but im satisfied

i mean its good

if you have any other problems dm me

[flat hearth]

hello
i have a problem using rtx remix on need for speed most wanted 2005
the problem is the brightness flickers
i have a rtx 4060ti pc
i get fps drops with the default settings too (is it normal ?)
also my cursor doesnt line up for some "widescreenfix" reason (i did change WindowedMode = 5 , SimRate = 0)
can some one help :) ?

[flat hearth]

also i get this weird effect although i use the video settings as said in the screenshot

[dark umbra]

You can disable sun > dowload and.install nfsmw extra options > open ini file in script folder > enable feature - change time of day in vide settings (I don't remember particularly what name was). > When in game go to video settings, instead of resolution slider you will see time of day slider > put it somewhere in the middle

[dark umbra]

disable tonemapping

[flat hearth]

thanks for the respone ❤️
btw is it normal that im having fps drops on 4060 ti ?
is there a lower setting config file that i can download ?

[leaden tinsel]

your exhaust shoots flames the brightness of the fokin sun because racecar

[wide gull]

Hi, is it possible to mix this mod with redux 3.0?

[dark umbra]

No, RTX REMIX replaces all in game lighting with PATH TRACING meaning - ITS INCOMPATIBLE WITH ANY GRAPHICS MODS. (Unless you replaced in ge files itself, like replaced textures inside of nfsmw (not through texmod))

[rustic torrent]

i think i fix the events sign using this options

and i discovered if you have the DLSS Frame Generation active may can cause a little rare dephasing effect in the HUD

sorry if my English is bad, i cant speak it well

[blissful sleet]

guy can i get help setting it up

[blissful sleet]

the game looks sick man

i wish they release remastered version of the game

[manic steeple]

installed rtx remix mod

why it is darker

textures are didn't load properly

[leaden bramble]

can you show your game folder?

[leaden bramble]

install new version of rtx remix

extract to game folder

and paste this in game folder

it should fix the problem

@manic steeple

[manic steeple]

now texture is blurry

[leaden bramble]

turn of dlss

[leaden bramble]

looks good to me

[leaden bramble]

which one?

its supposed to look like this @manic steeple

just set your dlss setting and its all good

or try the orignal rtx config that comes with the mod itself

guys should i turn off tonemapping or should i keep it on?

[dark umbra]

If exposure change doesn't annoy you - don't touch it.

But you always can just experiment with settings - to make it look as you like.

[manic steeple]

when turn off dlss

i get below 30fps

[vernal ermine]

I don't know what you expected.

[manic steeple]

may be my gpu is weak

[formal badger]

I don’t know what he expected either

[leaden bramble]

bruh cmon

[leaden bramble]

is it possible to have night time with this?

yk cause most of the lights work

[dark umbra]

yea, apply these settings (sky brightness - minimum, fallback light mode - none)

[leaden bramble]

ohh okk

damnnn its good bro

[blissful sleet]

dude where you got those high quality textures from

mind sharing it

[dark umbra]

It same thing as here #1106549860393553961 message

[frail ermine]

PLAK creators trying to say that remix is a 1:1 copy
btw, this is PLAK

[lime fiber]

lmao

all they need to do is download the freely available files

[frail ermine]

btw, PLAK is a paid mod XD

Remix is all free

[graceful crane]

how much is plak?

[obtuse saddle]

idk but I would never pay for a mod

these guys are out of their mind

[ionic barn]

no path tracing = L

[frail ermine]

😂

[ionic barn]

Having tiers is pretty wild

[frail ermine]

yeah and still, poeple keep paying for it...

[graceful crane]

making paid mods looks very controversial to me

[lime fiber]

if it's all your own work, honestly i don't see that much of an issue with it. people need money to live

but given that it's usually reliant on others work (aka people who made the mod loaders, file unpackers, etc.) it's not so okay

and accusing someone else of stealing it with absolutely no proof is ridiculous

[rose totem]

i think theyre upset because this mod is going to be free and theyre suckers for paying money for a product that will soon be inferior to this one

[sacred axle]

i don’t understand one thing, why are they trying to create a dispute?

for what?

[lunar schooner]

Typical NFS modding community

You all have 0 idea how bad this shit is

[frail ermine]

Yeah

[wide warren]

osdever is a braindead person

[wide warren]

it is and should be taken down by companies who own the game

like Take Two did

some time ago

[frail ermine]

The best example is GTA V with the paid enb mods...

[wide warren]

NVE, QuantV yeah

Razed milked patreon so much

he bought a new house

likely may have supercar money left to spend too xD

u can get them for free with a lil bit of search but anyway

QuantV was busted because he put some viruses into it

now some controversy happened with quant again xD

they had beef with ENB creator recently now

Mods should be made as a passion towards a game, something anyone can use, not making a living from it

im completely against paid mods when theres been so many older projects that many consisted in total conversions and they are all free

[frail ermine]

NVE is fine cause it doesnt use enbs anymore

[wide warren]

They had a conflict with ENB because razed told the enb creator that his thing eats up too many fps

and "is fine" but like 4 years have gone by since then lol

4 yrs of a lot of money making

it is something

and hell nah, aint fine, when u advertise "eaRlY aCceSs" should be soon to be completed, the problem is that it is heavily advertised as that, when it isnt. Perhaps it was indeed in Early Access back then a few yrs ago, but not now.

and thats a weird trend that started to appear, like selling reshade presets ☠️

[frail ermine]

GAMETEST ☠️💀

[wide warren]

Yeah, came to mind too.

theres gta versions of that too xD

[wary slate]

This is why i have issue with paid mods

They always turn out to be low effort scam while the large scale mods that have been worked on for years end up free

Its always the talented people putting out their stuff for free and the scammers out there doing it for a quick buck

[sacred axle]

paid modpacks.. fucking bullshit

[wanton portal]

PLAK graphics looks poorly textured and in general ruins the feel of the game.

Check out CoreX Most wanted, its a unity remake, its pretty decent

It is still in development

[storm cobalt]

We feel like the lighting in plak is also really OTTP

[wanton portal]

OTTP?

over the top?

[storm cobalt]

yeah

Sometimes it feels a bit harsh

[frail ermine]

I only tried the free trial ones. Didnt liked it

I can do better for free with remix

[dark umbra]

"i can beat raster with path tracing"

[frail ermine]

Haha 🤣😂

[graceful meadow]

is that even legal?

[frail ermine]

I think its a grayzone

As long as they dont provide the original gamefiles like textures etc, theyll be fine

But: if they would provide for example the xbox360 textures with it, then yes it would be illegal

[wide warren]

well

theres one way to find out

im sure someone has plak access

[dark umbra]

Omg omg
https://youtu.be/2tdCDcoxIKw

[frail ermine]

all i hear is shittalking

[lime fiber]

2kliksphilip is the only large(ish) youtuber i've seen try to be reasonable about Remix other than dedicated tech-y channels

unfortunately i'm not surprised

[dark umbra]

But that's opinion of average Joe, sooner or later it will be positive as for any other finished RTX mods (like q2, portal, hl2).

But one thing annoys me is that he used non Ray Reconstruction remix, wich made game look a lot worse.

[vale python]

free AND opensource

the second part is prolly the best

[lunar schooner]

I think one of the things that I regret about my project the most is releasing it publicly

[lime fiber]

yeah... if people were even slightly understanding or open minded things would be a lot better

but of course that's not the case

[lunar schooner]

This is from a server that I have never ever interacted with

It was nfs related so I thought I'd look up rtx

They're talking about the IGN video

(IGN guy didn't do that good of a job with the video either)

People don't realize that it's literally as early as it gets

[sacred axle]

bro, wtf wrong with these people?

[lunar schooner]

I don't think it's their fault

They're looking at something that's like 2 years from being done

And calling it finished

[dark umbra]

I mean even if mod had properly reworked cars, they would still complain about "ruined" atmosphere.

Guys with no hardware to run path tracing will always complain about anything they can.

[lunar schooner]

They don't know any better

[sacred axle]

i think, they don't know that you can bring atmosphere again, just playing with color correction, skybox, lamps and lighting

[frail ermine]

also, theyre "athmosphere" how they call it are just memorys of the good old days when they were kids and played it after a long schoolday

[dark umbra]

Thoose guys are just like DLSS3 haters, they hated LATENCY impact, non real frames until...

until amd released FSR3 wich is objectively worse, but it works on their shitboxes, so all problems just gone. (Saw people doing 30>60 and saying latence OK - oh gosh)

So yeah no point listening to people like that, only criticism with ideas of improvement makes sense to listen too.

[sacred axle]

but not only do they not want to join the development and help with the return of that ATMOSPHERE, which they praise so much as if it was created from gold, they will throw litter at your project as if this project doesn't deserve to exist

[sacred axle]

bare minimum effort? doesn't wip mean anything?

[leaden bramble]

i just tried night time and damnnn its amazing

[frail ermine]

The M3 should get a remodel

like Rachels 350Z

[leaden bramble]

350z got a remodel??

also does anti culling lights work in this?

i tried it but no difference

is there anyone with a worse gpu than me?💀 (mine is rtx 3050 laptop)

[dark umbra]

In default config (wich is provided with mod) - is enabled by default.
It worked on my machine.

Can you send screenshot with aniti-culling lights enabled (i wonder maybe you missed option or smth)

[frail ermine]

it currently gets an overhaul yes

[vernal ermine]

||If they think they can do it better they can try. It’s not like we lock away the tooling to mod the games as invite only or behind a paywall. ||

[manic moth]

eyo

is this the place for tracing paths?

[vernal ermine]

Correct

[manic moth]

i have 2 months of free time and a butt-ton of nfs knowledge

let's cook some paths

[storm cobalt]

Thinking about it

[storm cobalt]

Yeah I am on it rn.

Y'all want me to remodel the M3?

My 350z model could have come out better (not finished) but i did not really go through as much planning at first trying to work within black boxs crazy uv coordinates

They really are something i will tell u yhat

[formal badger]

Good to see you still around haven’t seen you in the usual NFS Discords in a while

[vernal ermine]

But can you find the right paths to trace?

[dark umbra]

Could we finally fix that 😳

[storm cobalt]

So what was the rationale between having a sunflare mirrored with the sky texture?

[leaden bramble]

if it makes the m3 better then hell yeah

[storm cobalt]

Yah I can do that. I will be trying to remodel as many assets as possible

Working on the 350z atm though, but when I can I will work on that in tandem

[leaden bramble]

im one of those who is just enjoying these mods

[leaden bramble]

ohh alright

[storm cobalt]

Razors mustang def has to be done too

Well the first ones i am focusing on are the hero cars

[leaden bramble]

can you show the difference between orignal and remodel 350z

[dark umbra]

You can find progress in u2 channel > #1103377328530276403 message

[wary slate]

Is Adam dead? He said he would post his latest work with the improved roads and textures at end of March but we are already May

[wary slate]

"Atmosphere and charm" bro thats the graphics all games had back in the day. That was not intentional. Its simply how hardware limited devs were

[leaden bramble]

that sound🤤

[wary slate]

People thinking its intentional art style is so funny, trying to protect their nostalgia

[dark umbra]

It wasn't Adam, it was Big Boy #1106549860393553961 message

[wary slate]

Yes

[frail ermine]

Deleting the texture would result in game not booting. You would have to replace it with an alpha texture. But we arent allowed to provide gamefiles so that would not work. One thing we could do is mod the game files and upload the modded one to a modsite like nfsmods or nfsaddons as a RTX Remix sunflare fix

[blissful sleet]

guys i am unable to figure this out yet

i tried it but it doesnt work properly

[dark umbra]

Elaborate what you do, what doesn't work etc.
No one will help you, if you don't explain your problem properly

[blissful sleet]

yea wait ill send the a screenshot

yea so sometimes the game doesnt launch

it pops up and then closes instantly

but restarting my laptop fixes it

this is what it looks like

[blissful sleet]

and i want it to look like this 😭

also tried the game

this is what it looks like 💀

also do you know how can i coincide my cursor

because i get two cursors in game

and both work differently from same mouse

[frail ermine]

It will look like this

[blissful sleet]

yes please

its better than that horseshit

far better

idk did i do something wrong

this is what my directory looks like

i have made backups and i am willing to do some procedures all over again

[blissful sleet]

can you tell how to get it to look like that

[frail ermine]

Im not the creator of the mod, so no, i cant. Maybe theres a version an ModDB

[blissful sleet]

sad

i bet the version you got installed looks far better than mine

[frail ermine]

Its not my picture

Its from the creator itself

[blissful sleet]

:/

[manic steeple]

For me also

[manic steeple]

Put this in game folder

[dark umbra]

Delete it, install from scratch, make sure to use game without mods.
#1106549860393553961 message

[blissful sleet]

alr ill do this

[manic moth]

we can also provide a simple .asi mod

it's not a game file, it's just another mod innit

we can edit time of day lighting runtime or even just remove the sun texture entirely and draw our own in the game world

creating a sun flare is suppppppppper simple

[tidal plaza]

guys how to open this menu

ive downloaded the mod and everything seems to work but the fps is low

heard some of the guys talking about dlss

how to enable it

any help would be apreciatedd

[leaden bramble]

press alt + x

[tidal plaza]

thanks

night time is DARK lmao (the map seems to glitched out too)

any fixes?

and the smoke effects have this weird thing going on

[frail ermine]

I am not familiar with creating .asi files

[manic moth]

i am 👍🏻

[frail ermine]

Also it just needs to be replaced with an empty textures

[manic moth]

i am downloading 1.3 mw05 rn

i can just redirect the game's read request into an empty texture

2 birds 1 stone

[dark umbra]

Follow installation guide.

Re-do step 5

(You didn't install .conf file properly)

[tidal plaza]

alright thanks

[leaden bramble]

tf is this??

[tidal plaza]

any fixes for this?

[leaden bramble]

can you send a pic of daytime?

[tidal plaza]

for sure ill send it in a min..im outside rn😅

[leaden bramble]

suree

do you have any other mods installed?

hop in dm if you have any other problems

[manic moth]

no sun 👍🏻

extract to the "scripts" folder

le code

struct AllAccess {
  LPVOID mAddr{nullptr};
  std::size_t mSize{0};
  DWORD mOldProtect{0};

  explicit AllAccess(DWORD rva, std::size_t size) {
    mAddr = reinterpret_cast<LPVOID>(rva);
    mSize = size;

    ::VirtualProtect(mAddr, mSize, PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &mOldProtect);
  }
};

static void Main() {
  // RenderSunAsFlare in ePreDisplay
  {
    AllAccess _a1(0x504C56, sizeof(std::uint32_t));
    AllAccess _a2(0x504C56 + 4, sizeof(std::uint8_t));
    *reinterpret_cast<std::uint32_t*>(_a1.mAddr) = 0x90909090;
    *reinterpret_cast<std::uint8_t*>(_a2.mAddr) = 0x90;
  }

  // SunTrackLoader in BeginWorldLoad
  {
    AllAccess _a1(0x6629A9, sizeof(std::uint32_t));
    AllAccess _a2(0x6629A9 + 4, sizeof(std::uint8_t));
    *reinterpret_cast<std::uint32_t*>(_a1.mAddr) = 0x90909090;
    *reinterpret_cast<std::uint8_t*>(_a2.mAddr) = 0x90;
  }
}

[frail ermine]

That will help a lot getting a better atmosphere

[manic moth]

at mo sphere

nfs community can be an ass, ignore them 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[manic moth]

atmosphere

[frail ermine]

I already had 1 in mind with a really good sky

[storm cobalt]

The youtube comments on the uploads csn get real toxic sometimes. Ppl don't know what WIP is and also thst it is early days for rtx remix

[manic moth]

hl2 guys took years to make a good looking project

in the end this will be 'the' definitive edition

[storm cobalt]

"Plak looks better than this"....yeah and plak has been out for yonks u wonder what their point is...

[manic moth]

plak is a paid shader compiler

that's all it is

[storm cobalt]

Yeah

Also i saw plak and i dun like how it looks much tbh not for the price

The gaming communities in general can be nuts sometimes

[frail ermine]

Yeah, but all we can do is accept it and keep working to prove them wrong

[storm cobalt]

Yeah

[frail ermine]

Also, since i work in the NFS UG2 remix project my skills have improved dramatically. I am better at light designing now, ive got better photoshop skills, i can create my own mats and also a tiny bit blender 😂

[manic moth]

modders will need to assign proper mats, use hires textures and all that but it already looks really good for a brand new project

i'm not much of a modeler/artist but I'll try to help y'all coding wise

this is a game from 2005 running on a pipeline renderer

it has better dynamic shadows and lightings now than most games out today lmao

[mental meteor]

Guys, I have a problem, because when I run the game with my Xbox controller on via Bluetooth, the game closes automatically.

[maiden osprey]

https://github.com/xan1242/NFS-XtendedInput/releases/tag/1.22
try this

[mental meteor]

Works again Ty! :3

[manic moth]

do you have a git somewhere where others can also sync their progress with yours? i've started capturing scenes and editing but I assume you might have already done more

[dark umbra]

Original adam files (step 4) #1106549860393553961 message

Current stuff step5 #1106549860393553961 message (just roughness for all the textures - car paint fix)

[dark umbra]

With your skills this should be possible #1106549860393553961 message

Correct SUN position is needed (currently we are using just separate huge static light over game world), nfsmw for each.race changes time of day, it makes some cat scenes very dramatic.

So ideally you need to make game display RTX Remix SUN wich will be attached to game time, and make it visible somehow (obviously correct way - not like right now).

Also interesting can you mod nfsmw itself for 24h time cycle (or at least move sunset/sunrise closer to each other, so when game will try to do sunset - it will be already night)

If we doing it we also need hell raven with his skybox textures.

AND in the future we should get weather to work:

1. Sky box switch, currently doesn't work at all, so we see only normal weather skybox (no overcast for example)

2. Rain, game triggers rain particles, so in theory we could make a script for all materials became wet when it's needed.

ALSO with your skills, it's possible to do properly working police lights (patrol, and chase - on/off)

[manic moth]

currently i have no idea what the others are doing here

there's some screenshots going around from an 'unreleased' rtx config?

like I wanna go and touch up some cars but I don't even know if anyone has already done/is doing that

[dark umbra]

Use pinned message as start point.
Thoose secret config are AI upscaled PBR textures, Big Boy is reworking as many as he have free time for that, when he releases it no one knows, it could be next month, or we gonna wait half year, so there's no point in waiting. Especially ehen you can do stuff that no other guy here can, meaning - it will be useful anyway.

[misty moth]

Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 RTX I Download This Mod But How to Install ? Please Help Me!!!!

[vernal ermine]

Nope. Put my efforts on hold. I’m spread too thin as it is.

[frail ermine]

Would love to help with the skybox👍

[hallow silo]

Many tried but there isn't an official MW project, only some concurrent experiments. If a team would like to assemble around the project, I already pay for LFS storage over git on my account for U2, would be glad to share, in case you'd like to use git to manage the mod files.
Also, MW and U2 share a lot of assets, so if you see something U2 already has, let us know and we can share some pebbles
Here is U2 repo for reference https://github.com/Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix

[manic moth]

btw rear windshields are easily fixed by removing the Decal flag from the heating lines texture

yeah mw05 rtx seems a bit... unorganized

[manic moth]

do yall need help over there?

[hallow silo]

always. @vernal ermine is the one closer to some of the base game issues like culling patches, crowds/skinned characters not rendering, and many other issues

[dark umbra]

PISS FILTER guys (:
btw mod is updated with ☀️fix, rear window fix, and optional aniti-culling added (don't know why I forgot about, but I'm glad that I saved Adam mwrtx files)
Also car paint parameters where adjusted, piss filter added

UPD: filter itself took me a while (20 seconds) to configure, so today I looked at xbox 360 footage (it had same piss filter as PC).
X360 version has way more brown, under saturated.
Also X360 cars have huge sun reflection, like bloom on car. I don't think it's possible to easily achieve it, (because we are talking about standard rtx remix menu material system) but I will try.

[wide warren]

the cop, nice

[desert basin]

Why do you want to replicate overblown reflections that make no physical sense in the context of properly simulated PT lighting

[dark umbra]

Because its NFS Bible accurate?

And jokes a side, there is real life car paint's that pretty much do the same thing.

Also x360 had very specific car paint shader, that we should recreate.

Path tracing means everything in lighting, but it has nothing to do, to poorly configured materials

[lunar schooner]

Because it's the VIBE of the game

Mw can't be mw if no piss filter

Or the reflections

[desert basin]

the game looks miles better without the piss filter

you could create some other kind of post processing that is more modern and less exaggerated

either way it's something that's easily given as a toggle

[wide warren]

generic game

MW 05 is from the age of good songs, perhaps emo shit and linkin park stuff

back when vehicular manslaughter was put in games

KEKW~1

if u want some shit realistic visuals ape thing

download gametest mods or something

or put on plak or any generic graphic mod

or just play MW 2012

ez fix

[dark umbra]

You have nothing to worry about:

1. It's few clicks to remove piss filter
2. I will just create separate config with no piss filter (PS2 style)

[desert basin]

I'll just ignore your incoherent rant

[wide warren]

its just fact lol

ur literally better off downloading some graphic mods for the original game

theres way too many doing just that what u asked about

[leaden bramble]

yea looks a lot better

the shadows also got sharper i think🤔

[dark umbra]

Nah just blacks crush - shadows darker - brain thinks it looks better.
Actually i did filter for meme, didn't think anyone would like at all xD

[leaden bramble]

ohh

[lunar schooner]

It's not bad

Contrast brings clarity

And makes the image look more appealing

[dark umbra]

Literally 20 seconds of tweaking, it's my lowest effort ever. The definition of shitpost.
But yeah because of nostalgia even I like it, tho it will need further tweaking anyway, cuz x360 version looks slightly different (less colours, more brown).

[leaden bramble]

cant we change time now?

nothing when i try to change it

[dark umbra]

Do it through remix

[leaden bramble]

how?

is there no time cycle now?

[dark umbra]

Im not right now in front of my pc, but all i can say is second tab> second tab> scroll down until you find ligh transition

[leaden bramble]

hmm alr

[dark umbra]

#1106549860393553961 message

Like this just don't disable anything

You will understand if you play around with settings

[leaden bramble]

ok but does time does not change while playing i mean sun position

automatically

[dark umbra]

Yes it doesn't

It thing that we need to fix

in the future future future

[leaden bramble]

ohh okk

one more question

whenever i try to disable vsync the game freezes and crashes

any suggestions?

[dark umbra]

Try finding vsync in ..conf file itself, disable it there, then launch game

[leaden bramble]

okk

thanks man

[desert basin]

Literally have no clue what you're talking about and you probably don't know it either
Maybe scroll back and realize the fact that this project has been using natural colors from the start pretty much 😂

[autumn otter]

Can anyone help me install RTX Remix on NFS MW 2005?

[dark umbra]

@vernal ermine Do you remember wich hash that was? or at least what texture it should replace? (was scrolling through textures 20 minutes, I cannot find it)

It should look like this

[vernal ermine]

Nope. Never figured it out

[dark umbra]

BTW i did lazy texture swap, so now more textures have pbr (sidewalks, some parking areas, some crossroads)

Ok it was config problem, i will update mod now with fix

[sinful seal]

bro this looks very clean 💯

[wary slate]

L take. Wrong server bro

[storm cobalt]

Can someone send us a .blend file for the m3?

I will work on it in conjunction with the 350z

as we have not installed mw2005 yet

But I wanna get a start o the model

[rotund mica]

Hello guys, my game keep crashing every time I try to open. I followed all the steps in pinned. Can anyone help me?

[dark umbra]

Show game file's directory

[frail ermine]

dont use controller

thatll fix it

controller needs to be off

[rotund mica]

Thank you. Unplugging the controller fixed it😄

So I cant play with controller?

[frail ermine]

you can when you update to remix 0.5.1

its actually a bug of windowedmode where the controller triggers the tabbing state and then insta crash the game

remix 0.5.1 fixed that
its also recommended to get latest bridge and dxvk remix files

[rotund mica]

Alright, I'll find a way to update it. But how do you fix the wet roads? It's flooding here in my game

[proven nacelle]

I would like to see your nfsmw mod lol

@dark umbra looks nice man

I havent tried working on my mod for a long time because I got my own house now, has the tool upgraded a lot or is it still kinda the same? Or does it have new features etc?

[dark umbra]

Im not a dev, but yeah things kinda improved. (One click upscale still not there unfortunately)

[calm hinge]

why does my game look like this?

[lime fiber]

any chance you can post a normal image?

[desert basin]

What does that have to do with my question? Some people really can't live without drama

[leaden bramble]

show your game folder

[leaden bramble]

try this

paste in game folder

[calm hinge]

I did that and it still looks the same...?

[leaden bramble]

what version of rtx remix do you have?

[manic moth]

You've downloaded the source code of rtx remix instead of the release

[calm hinge]

2024.3.0

[calm hinge]

Ok, how do I get the release? Do I use the RTX Remix Downloader?

[leaden bramble]

extract this in game folder maybe this will fix it

[calm hinge]

Yeah I tried that too, still the same

I think when I changed "d3d9.shaderModel set it to 0" that's when everything changed

[leaden bramble]

damn

[leaden bramble]

oh

try reverting it

[leaden bramble]

yea i didnt do that

[calm hinge]

So after reverting that shadermodel thing it looks like this

[leaden bramble]

yea this is not rtx dude💀

well do a clean installation of the game

and dm me

[calm hinge]

btw has anyone played this game called SSR it reminds of nfs underground 2 https://discord.gg/DPMpgMUx

[dark umbra]

Apply suggested in game graphics settings

[fickle moon]

hi everyone can anyone tell me from where i can Download NFS Most Wanted RTX Remix ??

[dark umbra]

You are using wrong m3gtr version, use ALMS version

When come home i will send heat fbx m3 as reference

Obviously hood in heat version is wrong, but you should know that right

[storm cobalt]

I got given this one but ok thanks for the heads up. Also yeah that would help

[dark umbra]

There's lore accurate m3 in mw2012, with proper hood shape, so if i find .fbx of that one i will also nend it (keep in mind that is better to use whole car from heat, and only hood from mw2012).

[storm cobalt]

This is not it?

[dark umbra]

That's good one actually, everything seems to be as 2005 m3gtr should look like👍

[storm cobalt]

Ok i was just looking at the wromg ref imsge then maybe

[dark umbra]

For images of real car look for m3gtr ALMS with this front bumper.

[storm cobalt]

Yep when i am working on it again i will. (Aussie girl here ao i sleep time :))

[obtuse saddle]

you need to look at the 2001 alms car

the 2004-05 gtr raced in vln and bodywork is different

also 2001 ptg team m3 gtr is slightly different

the one in game is from bmw works team that should be the only reference

[old jackal]

Hello, can anyone help me with a link for mod download pls? i cannot find it here 😦

[leaden bramble]

check pinned messages

[nova heron]

don't know if it will help , but for those of you who don't want to edit / download every files i put together all the files (exept mod itself) in this zip file :

it contain : dlvk / rtx conf / remix downloader / scripts folder (widescreen fix included) ! all you need to do after that is copy past the mod ! and voila !

@dark umbra incridible job man !!! this sun mod and yellow filter mean a lot to me ! Just thank you for the dedication !

[dark umbra]

It's not mine, it's AdamPlayer

[nova heron]

yeah but i will edit it XD

my english is bad XD

i mean thank for updating the mods with no sun and filter (cop refletion was already here ??)

[dark umbra]

Nah, Hemry did amazing script for car paints (nfsu2), the thing also worked in mw, so I used it here

[nova heron]

@vernal ermine And thank to the incredible work Adam have done ! It's amazing

[nova heron]

i mean no one else did XD ! i can thanks all of them !

[dark umbra]

Yellow filter ahhahahaha

Jokes a side, I played for few hours recently, and filter does really brings memories of good old days.
It's funny how such lowest effort thing does so much to the experience xD

[nova heron]

i didn't read every comment ... sorry for that ... it just amaze me ! people that can do this type of stuff ! and they put so mush time and effort on it it make me speechless

[nova heron]

i agree ! played it having 12

and it bring a lot NOSTALGIA XD

in all seriousness i think that the 2 looks great in a way ! new look seam refreashing and clear ! and old brings memory and nostalgia with a graphical improvment !

so for me first replay old look ! and after new look

@dark umbrado you know by any chance if the "in the water effect" on the glass of the car is fixable ? i think it wasn't here before ? or i m mistaken ?

[dark umbra]

It is not there in nfsu2, so certainly there should be a way to fix that.

Before there was just no rear window texture at all... (Because it was tagged as decals)

[nova heron]

yeah it already way better

but it's impossible to run rtx remix in native XD ! i have a 4090 and i can't reach 60 fps with dlss disabled

[storm cobalt]

Now you are playing with "m3 power"

[dark umbra]

Here HEAT M3GTR, in .fbx https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GgYR9ApaY2bGrMkIHM8rWuUqX9YppLCG/view?usp=sharing

Heat model only in places were that one lacking polygons
REMEMBER that heat model has wrong hood shape, use shape from model that you already have (that red one, wich is probably from mw2012)

[storm cobalt]

It's from mW2005 we think

[wide warren]

wow it looks nice, altho i remember the original being a silver

slight silver

[hallow silo]

I'd recommend not ripping someone else's/game assets and redistribute if you want to stay within legal side of it, but you guys know what works best for you

[dark umbra]

Thoose files are reference not, for straight replacement

[hallow silo]

Just sharing cause it can get serious real quick. I won't be able to host anything for you guys if it has copyrighted content, as an example

Ah right

[dark umbra]

Tho i tried replacing it just to see how it works, unfortunately didn't manage to get mash replaced (skill issue)

[blissful sleet]

is there a way i can combine this with plank mod

[leaden bramble]

bruh what are you typing??

[dark umbra]

Thanks God no

[rotund hawk]

There are literally dozens of thousands of car model converts from Forza/NFS/GT/TD and other games to GTA series, ATS/ETS/BeamNG/Farming simulator and many other games and i've never heard someone got sued for it or got in any kind of trouble for it, and i can't see how it can happen unless you plan to somehow profit off of it.

There are even paid patreon sites that convert models for GTA 5 from other games and they have been running for years, so nobody cares about it. I don't know why you guys from NFSUG2 and MW remix project developers insist so much on remaking every car model from scratch when its going to take yoy countless hours and unnecessary effort to do all of that, when you can simply convert most of those car models from other games whose models are laser scanned, so even if you end up remaking every model, it still is going to be subpar and have geometry inaccuracies.

Same thing with game asset models and vegetation, you could take models from other games and save yourselves lots of time and effort.

[lime fiber]

oh how nice it would be for people to stop advocating for stealing assets

[hallow silo]

It is not about being quick, working smarter not harder and minimax the joy away of it.
It is art, for some of us it is a professional career path, and as fellow artists, it is simply not right to steal stuff being it asset or code.
Also, it is our craft, we want to take our time to make it, not rush to deadlines or anything

[lime fiber]

i personally don't give a crap how many projects have done it without getting in trouble. yes it means the company is more tolerant to it, but it doesn't make it okay or legal

stop advocating for it in this server

[rotund hawk]

I get that, but this is just what me, and probably most other people would prefer to have in the game, like that M3 model up there looks like a dream

[rocky osprey]

Well the good thing about remix is you can make your own remix mod with as many assets from other sources as you want

[rotund hawk]

Yeah, i know

[hallow silo]

Yeah I getchu. It is more of a philosophical and moral discussion, many will have pointy arguments on each side. We prefer to stay safe and "Do it right so it works right". Like I said, for many of us it is a career as well, so we like to play nice with the industry
Like Joey mentioned, ppl are free to come and make their own. Our repo is also open source so anyone can fork and make their own stuff, just gotta check the license terms which is quite permissive

[misty anvil]

Gector Invasion

[storm cobalt]

Thus i am probably gunna continue just modelling it as i am doing now. I like doing my own.

[storm cobalt]

And judging by my z, I guess my m3 would look like a dream too dun mean to brag. If ppl wait, i can nake them something special

[dark umbra]

Put letters a bit closer to each other, make them 30% bigger, experiment with stretching "remix" wider, at least 10-20%
This way it should look just perfect, because now "remix looks a bit too small"

[storm cobalt]

Hope y'all are looking forward to it

I erm should go back to sleep lol

It 255 am here

[misty anvil]

Like that?

i hope it already perfect
