Hey, I've already hosted twice on RetroRacingPoint discord server. I don't know about the next one. I'm still trying to fix it.

In backward races, cars were constantly teleporting backwards, breaking the game. I made sure it didn't do that in these races. I also increased rubberbanding. So when they get to original location they will slowdown and go at the same speed as other real players. But they will never teleport to the original location. and they can make mistakes because they are going so fast.

Once you download Limits Unlocker (mod menu) from link in the description, you will find there.

@UltraJerichoSan Thank you I will try it. 🙂

Hi, I don't know. What I tried to test in porsche this year was AI spawning in multiplayer. I was successful. There were even cops. I only did it alone, I didn't test it with anyone. But I can't deal with it rn. I need to finish my stuffs in nfs3 and nfs2 first.

Okay

Now we probably know why this setting was hidden in the first place.

@@karlosold-schoolgaming8554 okay! ✅

Positional Updates only synchronize positions of the players' cars. This doesn't cause any input lag, stuttering or desync in client's game. If you played multiplayer/online games high stakes and later (including modern NFS games), they generally all use this method. Controller Updates have to synchronize everything. And distance is very important here. This can cause input lag, stuttering or desync (This is usually rare for desync. Stuffs that desync are usually caused by game files being different from host or a difference in game's executable file). But this can give a good experience for clients that are close to host (usually up to 3000 km for someone. 5000 km may also be ok). But especially if very far away (like 10000 km) it becomes almost unplayable for client. Each has its own pros and cons. Controller updates promise accurate and realistic gameplay. Generally ideal for local games. You can even play Hot Pursuit game modes with up to 8 real players. You can compare this to playing a two-player split-screen mode on 8 different computers. You can never cheat on this connection type. If you try to do, the game will either crash or cause desync. That's why it's the safest connection type. Positional updates give the best experience to entire client regardless of distance. It's usually used for online. But the behavior of other players isn't accurate in each player's game. This may not provide a realistic gameplay experience. More ideal for competition. Hot pursuit mode cannot be played with this connection type. There may be crashes like in video. I'm not very familiar with modern NFS games. But I remember that there were no cops and even AI racers in games like Most Wanted and Carbon (correct me if I'm wrong). And of course it's possible to cheat with this connection type (if game doesn't have cheat protection). This game has been played with Controller Updates until now and it was known that this method was only one. As result, by digging into game, I learned that developers had already implemented this, So I revealed it, and we tested. (Actually, these were written in text of the game. But no one has discovered this feature until now. Except me.) There are quite a lot people playing this game multiplayer on our RRP discord server. This method will be a precedent for people even far away.

@@UltraJerichoSan wtf

This is already final result. Should just be tried with more players.

@ omg greaaat!

@@MaestroD hello

Idk maybe. But since we are testing, he is usually waiting for me.

This is a question for me too. I'm thinking of doing a test hosting in the near future. That could be today or tomorrow. When I have time for it. Maybe you'd like to see it for yourself? After all, you can do better analysis than me.

ofc, Do I look like someone who would completely rewrite netcode for a game by myself? 😅

@@UltraJerichoSan The question behind this was: Does it do something or is it just a placeholder. I mean we can also enable medium and heavy traffic in HP2 menu, but its still only 2 cars

I know what you mean. I wouldn't even make this video if this was just a placeholder. You should have watched the video already?

@@UltraJerichoSan I did. But it doesnt represent the skills of EA Seattle. So we need deeper tests 😀

Yea, you can try a copy of music files used in this video by downloading them from the link in the pinned message.

@@UltraJerichoSan i tried it out earlier, it worked perfect

This is actually behavior of game anyway. Just some jumps may not sound good. It was my mistake. I didn't care because I was just testing. Because I wouldn't use it anymore.

@@UltraJerichoSan oh, I understand... And for the game to recognize any music or sound, what format should you convert it to?👀

@@IzabellaRpx3 EA ADPCM (Interleaved)

@@UltraJerichoSan oh, I'll see if I can try it, but first I'll try yours...👀 Thanks Jeri💯

Thx :) Let me guess, isn't it wiki.multimedia.cx? I didn't understand anything there either. I learned this by myself by digging into the gamecode. Currently, I can say that have disassembled 90-95% of music code for NFS2 and NFS3. Thanks to this, I was able to implement interactive music in the nfs3 psx tracks Nescafe made for nfs2. Otherwise, this wouldn't be possible just by looking at the files. The process is as follows: The game first checks the track file. Because the positions are there. Then it looks at the map and compares the value of this segment. It saves "SCHl" offset, which is beginning of each piece whose compared value corresponds to the MUS file (for whichever offset value is pushing, for that piece). And finally, it goes to the MUS file and compares this offset and that section is played. In short, this is how it is (Sorry for my bad explanation.). Difficult for me to explain in more detail. Because there are many calculations. EA did this pretty tryhard. But they did a good job (except for 22050 hz). But I can understand this situation since file sizes were very important in those years.

I'm not sure where your comment went, maybe removed by Google because of the link, but yes! It was that one indeed :) If you could DM me the contents of the message or rewrite it without the link, that'd be great. But thanks for providing your explanation, warms my heart to know people are still tinkering with NFS2 and 3 25 years later. Very impressive that you reverse engineered so much of the code too. Not sure if you're aware, but there's an NFS4 PSX beta available with debug symbols, I was using that to add car parsing from that version into OpenNFS. You may be able to learn something from that codebase too!

@@AmrikSadhra The link in my comment is still here. Not deleted. A few people told me they were able to download it. But if comment is still not visible to you, I don't know. or write me on discord (You can also write on Retro Racing Point or Classic Need For Speed servers.) and I'll give it to you.

killed? 😅

LOL classic turn of events

That honestly jumpscared me

What do you mean?

thats why playing at evening or night maps is fun xD flash em up!

well, because of input lag. When it gets heavy becomes unplayable. And if even one person has bad internet, it can affect all of us.
