For Contributors:

Required Tools

git for Windows. Download
git LFS extension to manage large binary files like .dds and .usd. OBS: .usda aren't binary and we want to see and review their content. Link
- The repo is already setup, you just need to run git lfs install.
Omniverse Launcher Download
- In the launcher, also install USD Composer (Formerly named Create), the main tool we use to manipulate USD/USDA files and develop the modifications to the game.

Installing Dependencies

Download Underground 2 Widescreenfix and paste the contents in the game directory. NFSUnderground2.WidescreenFix.zip.
- Modify the scripts/NFSUnderground2.WidescreenFix.ini with a text editor so WindowedMode = 4 and Skip Intro = 1.
- Rename the dinput8.dll file to dsound.dll.
Download RTX-Remix 0.2.0 and paste the contents in the game directory so the .trex folder will be next to SPEED2.exe. Link (GitHub Login required to see the links).
Do the same with Bridge Remix (Release version) Link (GitHub Login required to see the links).
And with DXVK Remix (Also release version), but paste the files inside the .trex folder. Link (GitHub Login required to see the links).

Installing the mod itself:

Using a terminal (Ex: Git bash):

cd "C:\Game-Install-location\"

# Initialize an empty repository in the game folder
git init

# Add NFSU2-RTX-Remix.git repo as the remote origin of this local repo
git remote add origin [email protected]:Ekozmaster/NFSU2-RTX-Remix.git

# Fetch all the most up to date information about the repo
git fetch

# Jump into the main branch with "-f" to ignore game files, so you get the latest stuff from the repo
git checkout main -f

Copy the rtx-remix-defaults/rtx.conf in the same folder as your SPEED2.exe.
Have fun!

Mesh replacement of all player's and opponents's car Interior

Builldings mesh replacement with "parallax window"

[PT. 2] Mesh replacements for common walls/fences on roadways

Avenue medians and rails
Beacon Hills East Park Fence Wall
J.Strong's Texas Barbecue Chain Fence
Brad Lawless Memorial Fences
Beacon Hills East Cobble Wall Flat with Foundation
Light Cobble Wall Curved at Beacon Hills West "Bunny Ears" roads.
Beacon Hills Wall in front of the LV Gas Station
Jackson Heights white wood fences
Jackson Heights concrete walls with retroreflective signs

effect retexture

effect texture replacement with higher resolution

Assign correct glass material to car headlight & taillight and create normal map for them

The reflection and refraction of translucent materials for the headlights and taillights look somewhat unusual. We will need to wait for the material to have more options available for adjusting the effect.

Mesh replacement Props and Buildings close to the main highway roads.

Lighting for Coal Harbor

Includes both east and west coal harbor.

ReSTIR excessive brightness

Sometimes the game might become really bright, and it happens over multiple frames when enabling ReSTIR GI:

On mine it happens consistently, but on the first times I booted the game, it would stay fine for a while and at this point in the city roughly ReSTIR would kick in and blow my retinas. It is happening before the Tone Mapping step, as shown in Debug View for EV100 values:

I managed to mitigate the effects a bit by lowering the Boiling Filter Reservoir Remove Threshold from 60 to 45 on ReSTIR settings.

Remove all capture dependencies

Any reference to the captures folder need to be gone.

[PT. 1] Mesh replacements for common walls/fences on roadways

on playable issue

AMD Radeon RX 6600 does it work with this card as well because every time I tried plays on playable

Make textures for the main highway roads. bridge underside etc.

This is the least requirement for the next release.

Replace all traffic mesh

Add back crowds

@Uncleburrito requested that the crowds from the vanilla game be added back.

For reference:

Increase culling radius

The culling system is still limiting the amount of data fed into remix. Ideally it would have about double the current distance behind the player camera.

Fix conflicting lights that spams SPEED2_d3d9.log

We're getting spammed with these errors which change mesh hash depending on location of the map:
err: Light prims attached to replacement meshes must come after a mesh prim. mesh hash: cb7b4b58367e75f9

Some light placements are producing those errors for seemingly no reason. I binary searched disabling them by hand in their usda to find a few of them, but there is more around. Tip: Run the game through a terminal to see the log live.
