Xbox 360 Stuff Pack [v3.2 Beta]

NEED FOR SPEED MOST WANTED (2005) - XBOX 360 STUFF PACK
Version 3.2 Beta

This mod will try to make your game look more like Xbox 360 release of NFSMW (2005). This is beta release of new version, meaning that something may not look or work exactly as intended.

Key changes:

Xbox 360 shaders ported to PC version, although with various tweaks and workarounds because of missing graphical features:
_____Car Shader, which supports noise flake on metallic paints, normal maps (fake depth technique), radiosity (imitation of Ambient Occlusion) and visible sun specular
_____Visual Treatment filter, which gives more accurate Xbox 360 look
_____Xbox 360 sky, which has more depth to it thanks to horizon gradients and support for unique overcast clouds
_____Sky bloom which closer to sunset and during sunset emmits special bloom (blue during pre-sunset, red during sunset)
_____Reflections in building windows are distorted/transfomred in Xbox 360 way
_____Xbox 360 harsh shadow filtering
_____Xbox 360 water, with reflections and distortions
_____Xbox 360 trees, which have more vibrant autumn colors, especially during sunset
_____And other changes...

Time of day lighting presets in prologue races changed to ones that are closer to Xbox 360

not bad, thanks for all the hard work getting these effects back on pc
but I have one question, in the next big update, will the installer be compatible with games that have the old X360 stuff installed? if so, that would be perfect

yes

In the next update, do we have a chance to restore the dynamic blur effect and the blue glowe effect?

1. A lot. There's new version in the works. You can see some bits of progress on discord server, link is available on this page or in readme.
2. Not really. You can install xanvier's xtended input mod (NFSMods link is dead so you'll have to search it on google, it should be uploaded on github).

Great job on this and thanks for continuing to improve it. With this, the PC version is now the best (overall) version to play.

2 quick questions:
1) What's left at this point to achieve parity with x360 version? Seems like between this and some other mods (rain droplets, widescreen, xenon, etc.), it's pretty much there, but curious what the current gaps are.

2) Is there any fix to get xbox buttons back? As others have mentioned, the latest version breaks compat. with the WS mod's feature.
