Need for Speed Underground 2: No Cutscenes, controller adjustment issues #260

Closed RealRaptoReX closed 7 years ago

RealRaptoReX commented 7 years ago

So after installing this widescreen fix, I have one big issue: No story cutscenes art all! I think the NoCd fixed exe by hoodlum causes this as it is for the english version of the game and i have to use it for all my scripts, but my game is originally german. how can i fix that? (I think it changes the language of the game, since the MX5 is now called miata for example). Another issue is the xbox360 controller support. It detects stick buttons and so on wrong and the right stick (x- and y-axis) doesn't work. I'm using the XBOX One controller.

The story cutscenes are just the FMVs, right? Have you tried renaming them? They're located in \MOVIES\ These are what my files are named: FMV

It's the English exe, so there are going to be some differences I'm afraid.

As for the controller support, have you tried using Xinput Plus?

RealRaptoReX commented 7 years ago

Many of the files have "_gr" before the file extension. Should I rename them?

No i don't even know what that is, i just turned on ImproveGamepadSupport=1

If you want the FMVs to work, yeah. Remove the "_gr" entirely.

Give it a try, it can be used with the widescreen fix. You just have to rename dinput8.dll to something else. You can get controller vibration to work, and have access to all sorts of remapping features. Currently, the ImproveGamepadSupport only emulates a few keys and relabels UI prompts, so something like the right stick not working isn't going to be fixed with that.

Okay thank you, the extension at the end caused it not playing. But i don't get how to use the programm. I press on apply, but nothing changes ingame.

AeroWidescreen commented 7 years ago
  1. Install widescreen fix
  2. Go to installation folder and rename "dinput8.dll" to d3d9.dll
  3. Run XinputPlus and select SPEED2.exe
  4. Enable DirectInput Output and make any other changes you want
  5. Click on 'Apply' and you're done.

Hmm, it's not working for me either. Strange. I don't know then.

Yeah i tried it out, but the game keeps scrolling up and the controller doesn't work at all anymore :/

AeroWidescreen commented 7 years ago

You can remove it by clicking on disable.

I think the right stick would only be used to rotate the car platform anyway, but you can also do this by holding down the scroll wheel button (middle click) and moving your mouse.

I wanted to use it for shifting and such, since UG2 has things like hydraulics and such. But it isn't necessary so it is okay i guess. At least the Movies woirk now
