W2C (World To Carbon)





W2C


by MaxHwoy
2.0.0






Description


W2C (World to Carbon) is a Need for Speed: World (2015) to Need for Speed: Carbon map port.
This port has been made using Hypercooled.

The port contains 3 different stream file versions, one with normal quality World textures,
one with highest quality World textures, and one with highest quality X360 Carbon and Most
Wanted textures:

1. STREAML5RA_NORMAL -> file with normal quality World 2015 textures.
2. STREAML5RA_WORLD -> file with highest quality World 2015 textures.
3. STREAML5RA_X360 -> file with highest quality X360 Carbon and Most Wanted textures.

You are free to pick any quality you'd like, although it should be noted that 2nd and 3rd
stream files intensely use RAM. With the 2.0 release, the RAM usage usually does not go
above 1 GB, which should be fine for most of the users.

Features


The port has quite a few extensions on top of regular map conversion, such as:
- New World Map that includes both Palmont and Rockport cities.
- New smackable and simsurface types, ported directly from World (2015).
- New effects, emitter groups, and emitter datas, all ported from World (2015).
- New emitter system page and emitter system normal map page, containing the effects.
- Traffic and encounter patterns all ported from Most Wanted (2005) and World (2015).
- New encounter targets (rival finishlines) were added to Rockport area.
- Hiding spots were all ported from Most Wanted (2005) and World (2015).
- 2.0 : Canyons included!
- 2.0 : San Juan included!
- 2.0 : Drift Track included!

This mod makes the game unplayable for non-gaming PCs.

1. the game crashes whenever I choose a car or a map

2. even though I chose normal quality, it still crashes.

3. you need to make a low-end PC version of this mod so that the PC can handle it.


Other than that, I give this mod a 5.8/10 (sorry)

hi @MaxHwoy, I want to change some textures from the polished STREAML5RA.BUN nfs world file that you made. could you bring back the ability to edit it? because the sky from the world looks terrible

Is there a W2MW? If not, would you work on one? I'd like to see MW's Rockport with World assets

yep that's right, this mod disables canyons entirely braking all canyon races.
