No shadow because they haven't been decoded yet. yeah, i'm with Stig. it is exciting to see that someone can make cars for MW. yet you still have to wait. cause he has to sit and make bodykits for this, and has to make sure all the rim styles/sizes work with it, and has to ...

You do have a keen eye :). Those pictures are from the demo version, but the car works in the full game as well.

You can't do that.. to do that, you need to rename and rehash all the geometry objects as well as the textures inside the bin file. There's no way of doing that currently.

I believe the main reason why you can't drive the heli is that there is no performance specification for it.

Also, if you enable the shortcuts in winamp, then you can even use CTRL+ALT+INSERT to play, CTRL+ALT+PAGEDOWN to go to the next song, etc etc. Definitely beats the EA Trax system... only trouble is that the music wont automatically turn off when you enter a cop chase.

The reason why the rims disappear is that stock rims are local to one geometry.bin file, whereas the custom ones are in a seperate bin file. The only reason why you even see the rims temporarily is that the game has the model of the original car that rim belongs to in memory cache for a while until ...

It's texture editing... and you pretty much have unlimited capability to put whatever image you want on that texture. All I'm just saying is, we wouldn't want something thats not rated T to be in a game that is.

1. binary
2. use ini.. it'll save you lots of time later on
3. the checksum is simply a MD5. Look at first official save game editor (forgot what it was called)... it contains a basic technical description of the format.

Nah... It's pointless to have this argument, but the CD CD should always be the end of the block. Let me tell you why: 1. When Windows allocates memory blocks, it always aligns the memory location on 4 byte boundaries. Which means your dynamically allocated memory addresses may end with 0, 4, 8, or ...

You should be able to use the same NFSU2 extraction methods. Only thing is that a .mus/.ast (NFSU2) file contains a collection of .asf files... so you don't need to do the "splitting" step. Just directly load it up with eaconv.exe or sx.exe.

It really isn't easy for EA to keep track of people using trainers/cheats... some do get banned or served with a TOS, but some do get away. What you should really do is prevent the trainer from functioning while the game is in an online mode... if you can figure memory offsets for all those, I'm sur...

Haven't run the MW demo through my trusty decompiler yet. Been having too much fun playing it... this just might be the first NFS game since NFS6 that I'm actually enjoying.

I have no idea how the file is actually compressed. I use some of EA's game code for the decompression. I can't release any programs using that code until I rewrite the decompressor.

It's good to hear there's a measure of progress though. Well, I could access the texture a few months after U2 was out.

It's called Intellectual Property (IP) and EA guards it very closely. Besides if EA released a vinyl editor, they'd just be welcoming another hot coffee incident.

I think I did see a tree with a branches and stuff in NFSHP2, but a set of leaves on each branch was modelled as a single plane with texture alpha effects. If you are working on a next gen system, I'm sure you can model each leaf individually as a tri/quad and still have acceptable performance.

Not sure about Underground 2, but in older NFS's including NFSHP2 the tree models were just 2 intersecting planes or 3 planes... and all the effects were made using transparent tree textures.. like this: http://aru.nd4spdworld.com/pic/comp01.jpg Poly count for each one of those trees is like 4 polie...
