NFS Heat Revised Visuals - Original Artstyle (Beta 2)
-This mod aims to have visuals that are a mix of trailers and the final game. More so to add to the experience without changing the art style of the game much if at all.
-Mostly general changes to lighting, night shadows and optimizations for them.
-It also has some particle effects changed, mainly the stock backfire, it also has a separate set of nos and backfire, they replace the blue and coral colors respectively (blue nos is the same color as stock, coral backfire uses most files for red backfire)
-The mod is visuals only; no changes to physics, audio, cops, etc.
-It doesn't replace or remove any of the original art of the game; billboards, banners, and all else.
Be sure to report crashes or bugs to me, or changes to the gameplay from vanilla
Thanks to 7ndrew and his Ultra+ Graphics mod which gave me the initial idea for the mod.
Thanks a lot to elaymm4 for providing heat roboto which was used as base for this mod's visual presets.

I mixed this with the UNITE mod and the result is stunning! It gives much better fps and performance too.Here's a video I made showcasing your mod, check it out --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNOJeU6DfgY

Hey, awesome work. On an 3080TI/i7-107900k and i barely get no drops in frame. But i'm wondering if you could somehow make a mod where it always rains with raindrops on the screen? I tried digging around myself for it but all the code jargon escapes me.The closet thing i could find and tweak was under: fx/nfs20/weather/emitters/eg_screen_rain_main-vfxtest_works_camfix and i can't say if it works or not. I just put in some random numbers and starting clicking on things.

PS- Still it seems my fps drops to 40 during heavy scenes. I hope to see a lite version without the upscaled shadows or dynamic shadows for a few fps gain.
