Fixed Hood Camera 1.0.0

Fixed Hood Camera — an ASI plugin by luc9nt for NFS: Underground 2 that rigidly attaches the hood camera to the car. In the vanilla game it slightly "floats" and lags when turning — the plugin removes this inertia and recalculates the camera position from the car's transform every frame.

What it does

• Rigid attachment: the hood camera no longer shifts relative to the body.
• Horizon lock: the HorizonLock=1 parameter keeps the horizon line level when the car rolls, HorizonLock=0 keeps the camera rigidly bound to the body (default).
• Audio centering: the player's engine sound is shifted to the center of the stereo panorama; the panorama of AI cars is unchanged.
• View restriction: with OnlyHood=1 the effect works only in hood view.

Settings

The NFSU2FixedHoodCam.ini file is read once at startup; after edits the game must be restarted. In the [General] block — Enabled, OnlyHood and DebugLog, in [Camera] — RemoveMovement and HorizonLock, in [Audio] — CenterPlayer.

Compatibility

The plugin is designed for the US version of the game v1.2 (SPEED2.EXE). Other versions and regions are not supported.

How to install

1. Install ASI Loader into the game if you don't have it yet: without the loader .asi plugins don't work.
2. Unpack the archive.
3. Copy NFSU2FixedHoodCam.asi to the scripts folder in the game directory.
4. Place NFSU2FixedHoodCam.ini from the archive next to it and, if desired, adjust the values (HorizonLock, OnlyHood, CenterPlayer).
5. Launch the game as usual and switch to hood view.
