NFS:MW Fully Unofficially Supports TrackIR!!
Posted: Sun Jun 18, 2006 8:07 pm
So I've been fiddling with NFS:MW since I got the TrackIR to see if I could get it to work. I was working on modifying the game but I found this nice little cam hack tool. Need For Speed Most Wanted Camera Hack v1.0
www.toca.game-editing.net
It's listed about half way down the page. What this tool lets you do is position the camera at any point around the car, full 360�. Up 40 feet above the car or down...say right in the cockpit, with mouse look. The game has fully modeled interiors. It works marvelously, with the mouse emulator. Hands don't move but o-well.
You just start up the TrackIR software and mouse emulation. In my profile I turned the acceleration curve down to 2 for the full curve, the sensitivity is very high in the game. Start the camhack tool and game. Hop in a car, hit * key to turn on the hack. Select your view, each of the standard views now have views 1-9, so you use the in game camera button to change the main 4 views, then 1-9 for the more custom views. #7 will get you the best in-car view. I center the tracker and pull the cursor off the screen with my mouse, hit zero on the keypad to turn on mouse look and your good to go. You could also use TrackMapper for at least 5DOF but it would be limited. You'll see what I mean if you try it, the camhack maps the camera controls to the keypad, it's hard to control.
I'm going to contact the maker of the tool and see if he could modify his tool to add the tracker axis to the list of command maps. NaturalPoint should also get a hold of this guy to help make a profile or anyone ells thats so inclined. There are some great cars in the game with fully modeled cockpits. They also have a camhack tool for Race Driver 3, I haven't even got a chance to look at it yet. I'm going back to mess around some more. Send this man a free TrackIR and put him to work.
On a side note also check out www.panogames.com they have some great 360� panoscreens. Basically 360� screenshots. I'm also trying to get the TrackIR to work so I can look around in those, no luck so far.
