Last month I started to feel a hunger for some good PC game memberberries, and as I've always enjoyed the Need for Speed series, and some of the best in the series are Need for Speed Undreground 1 and 2, a couple of games that focus a lot on in car customization beyond racing, it's not enough to be the fastest if you don't have style.
And because of that I reinstalled the two games and the widescreen fix for the games on my good old PC.
NOTE: I tried the remastered version which was crap on my computer; Widescreen fix was enough to improve the game for today.
My PC specs : (Intel Core i3-7100 CPU@ 3.90GHz, 8GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9600GT 1 GB, DX11, but it doesn't run any DX11 games, but it runs all DX9 games very well).
I spent 3 days playing both games, I finished both games in about 20 Hrs, and I started researching modifications for the game and found the Vinyl modifications for the cars, then I started creating my own vinyls, with a lot of cost, trial and error (always do back up of the files you intend to modify) because the programs TexEd 1.7 and Bintex, despite being "easy" to use, CTDs often occur because of wrong texture sizes or color formats, or some kind of computer witchcraft i'm unable to underestand, in short, modifying Vinyls is cool but it takes work.
So, I'm putting the working vinyls I created in photoshop for download, I hope you like it.
Installation notes:
If you already know, ok!
If you don't know, each car has its own vinyl file (VINYL.BIN),
Install them using the .dds textures with TexEd(NFSU2 and Above).
ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR ORIGINAL FILES BEFORE MODIFYING THEM.
In Nfsu 1, I was only able to load vinyl using Bintex. and the colors are NEVER correct, the game and Bintex only accept them when they import the texture back into the game, making the texture blue when seen as a Bitmap, but in game the vinyl has reddish tones... crazy.
Nfsu2 I started using TexEd to import the textures. the program is better to use, but it is also not anti CTDs, but so far I believe that it is due to the construction of the vinyls in photoshop or the program you use, it is important the image sizes and the indexed format when saving the vinyl and its mask (always make a back up).
The vinyls I put for download are all working in my game, watch the demo video.
