¡Hello, steemians!
The post of today is about a sky mod I created for Need For Speed: Shift 2 Unleashed v1.0.2 using a screenshot of the space simulator Space Engine, in where I am near a procedural generated planet inside the galaxy NGC 5189.
Right-click the image below and open link in new tab to watch the video. Becaue it's uploaded in VK, but Steemit still doesn't support embedding from that website. DTube has too much bugs & issues to upload at least one single video. And YouTube doesn't deserve me to use it because of its abusive rules & politics.
Well, without explaining more of that, ¡Enjoy the video!
Here are some details of this mod & gameplay:
Car: Toyota GT-One TS-020
Circuit: Circuit de Spa Francorchamps GP
Laps: 3
Opponents: 15
The screenshot is already took with a cylindrical distorion, so it maps correctly in the game.
I also hacked it with Cheat Engine (that's why I drove so good :P ). I used an assembly script which acts like a switch to enable/disable A.I. mode.
I have made an extremely complex cheat table, in which I have a lot to talk about. But that will goto another post. This post is focused on the mod, not the cheats. I will just give a little resumed sample of my cheat table and that's enough by now ;)
After the next post, I will explain the cheats. I promise!!! ^^
One of the last featured details is that I used an unpacked version of NFS Shift 2 Unleashed. With that I could install car mods like the LeMansPrototype ones. I got it from a brazilian website in where there are very well explained instructions of how to install car mods.
This is the brazilian website:

Download link of DLC patch v1.0.2 for Shift 2 Unleashed:
https://vsetor.org/1118-need-for-speed-shift-2-unleashed-pc.html
It's in russian, so just click in "download .torrent" as in the image:
It's a torrent. So you should have μTorrent or something like that.
The website of nfsshiftbrasil.forumeiros.com is all in portuguese, so I will translate the instructions of how to use car mods here:
- Install your game with the correct DLC 1.02 patch, in case of bugs, make a clean installation of your shift 2 without the crack, and install the DLC and then the crack. Make a test of the Drag and legend's tracks of each poster and play them, if everything is ok and not crashing continue to make the unpack, otherwise upgrade your nvidia physx: http://www.nvidia.com/object/physx -9.12.0613-driver.html
- Unpack the game, for this you will need the Unofficial UCP Patch. This link below is the updated mod, so it is highly recommended to download it. If someone has already done it with the old patch, I recommend that you redo everything again with this new patch from scratch so there will be no problems Download the new Unofficial Patch: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ZFdaV3MuaWMDNUVG9nUVFiOFU/edit?usp=sharing
- To install the mod, extract all the contents of the mod to the game folder, Usually installed in "C:/Program files (x86)/ EA Games/Shift 2 Unleashed" directory ;)
- After extracting, run UCP_s2u_unpacker, with the right mouse button and run as administrator (Windows 7 / Cool, after extracting 20 to 30 minutes, do the same with UCP_create_JSGME_install
- Done this open JSGME and install S2U_Unpacked_version, and Nogrip_UCPv1.1pre 1.099JSGME install by selecting it from the left and clicking the ">" button, wait another 10 min., when the mod name is in the menu a right arrow in your game is ready to receive all mod's cars.
- NOTE: Just leave "S2U_Unpacked_version" installed (1st in the list at right installed), and "Nogrip_UCPv1.1pre 1.099JSGME install" (2nd in the list installed) do not install anything before in the jsgme beyond those 2 at first.
