EECMT – EgoEngine Camera Modding Tool

Loistava apuohjelma pelin kameroiden manuaaliseen säätämiseen. Lataus tekijän Github-sivulta. Ohjeita ohjelman käyttöön Youtube-videosta.

This is a generic Camera Modding Tool for (presumably) ALL Codemasters racing games using the EGO Engine (since Dirt 1). It allows to edit any value for any camera on any car (or a selection thereof), all at once, instantly. You can backup and restore all the camera files, and even easily package them for publishing them on the internet.

DirtFix (DiRT Input Glitch Fixer) v1.3

Recent Codemasters ”DiRT” series games check for game controller changes every 2 seconds, which can cause a spike in frame times, leading to gameplay glitches. DirtFix suspends this background polling to eliminate the glitches it causes.

Tested with DiRT Rally, DiRT Rally 2.0, and DiRT 4.

Pelit – Pelien vuosikirjat

Vanhojen Pelit-vuosikirjojen arvostelut ovat luettavissa yhdestä paikasta (vieläpä alkuperäisten kirjoittajien suostumuksella): Mielenkiintoista ja kulttuuriteko parhaasta päästä.

”Pelit was a Finnish-language (bi)annual book published from 1987 to 1991 containing gaming-related articles, tips and most importantly game reviews. Here you can find all the reviews, scanned from the books.”

Trackmania Nations Forever & Windows 8/10

Suuren suosion jo Steamin puolella saanut ohje TMNF-pelin saattamiseksi toimintaan Windows 8/8.1/10 koneilla on nyt myös täällä. Käännöstä suomeksi sitten jossain vaiheessa…

Elikkäs, näin se käy:

1. Edit Nadeo.ini -file (this is the default installation path, your game files might be elsewhere.)
C:\Program Files\(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TrackMania Nations Forever\Nadeo.ini
2. Find a row with ”Distro=XXXXX”. Delete contents after ”Distro=” and change it to ”Distro=MILIN”. Save and close the file.

3. Download the update file (it says ”United Forever” in it, but it works great with TM Nations too)
http://files2.trackmaniaforever.com/TmUnitedForever_Update_2010-03-15_Setup.exe

4. Install the patch and point it to your Trackmania Nations Forever folder, for example:
C:\Program Files\(x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\TrackMania Nations Forever

5. That’s it! When the installation is finished, you are ready to play the game. Depending on what the problem was, the game should work well now.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 – Tips & Tricks

Lisää meteliä ohjaamoon seuraavalla ohjeella:
https://steamcommunity.com/app/227300/discussions/0/43099721322189009/

  1. Go into your My Documents\Euro Truck Sim 2\Profiles\(Profile number) and edit the config file with Notepad.
  2. Look for the line uset s_interior_volume ”1.0” and up it to 2.0, or possibly higher. So far I have only tried 2, and it sounds much more realistic to my ears.
