Guiding The Player’s Eye

”Moving games into the third dimension introduced a new challenge for game designers: player-controlled perspective, and the host of problems associated with it. One of those problems is guiding the player’s eye. How can you direct them toward the next objective? How can you make them notice special events and clues? How can you ensure that they’re facing the right direction at the right time?”

Forza Horizon 4 ja Teredo (Windows 10)

Peli ei saa yhteyttä moninpelipalvelimeen ja näinollen muut kuljettajat eivät näy kartalla, etkä voi itse liittyä muiden luomiin tapahtumiin. Näin se käy:

1. Click Start , type services.msc in Start search box and hit Enter.
2. Right-click the Peer Networking Grouping service and select Properties .
3. Check if the service is started; if not, right-click and select Start .
4. You may also set the Startup type to Automatic under Properties .
5. Click OK .
and restart the computer. if that dosent work. do this to.
. Run command Prompt as administrator
2. Type ”netsh” and press enter
3. Type ”int teredo” and press enter
4. Type ”set state disabled” and press enter
5. Type ”int ipv6” and press enter
6. Type ”set teredo client” and press enter

i did both steps just to be sure before restarting my pc
it seems to be a teredo issue.

it still needs to be fully fixed by Devs

Advice do not spend long times looking thru Car sections or you might lose connection to server.

Enjoy.

The boy who stole Half-Life 2

From the archive: the story behind the $250m robbery.

”On 2nd October 2003, Valve Corporation director Gabe Newell awoke in the large American city of Seattle to find the source code for the game his company had been working on for almost five years had leaked onto the internet.

The game had been due for release a couple of weeks earlier but the development team was behind. 12 months behind. Half-Life 2 was going to be late, and Newell had yet to admit how late. Such a leak was not only financially threatening but deeply embarrassing. ”

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.

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.

Rocket League (Psyonix)

Erilaisia kamera-asetuksia, joita ajan saatossa on tullut otettua ylös. Asetusvalikko on jo ehtinyt muuttua vuosien aikana, ja säätövaraa on nykyään entistä enemmän.
To Do: Kamera-asetukset tekstimuotoon.

Ohje: RL helposti kahdelle näytölle

Tämänkin voisi suomentaa jossain välissä…

1. Go to My Documents > My Games > RocketLeague > TAGame > Config and find the file called TASystemSettings.ini.

2. Find a row with ”ResX” and set it to 3840 (2 x 1080p), and ”ResY” to 1080 (Naturally you have to change the values if you have a different resolution monitors).

3. Press CTRL + F and search for ”borderless”, when you find it, set it to ”True”. Then search for ”fullscreen”, and change all three instances to ”False”. Save and close the file.

4. After that, when you launch the game, it should fill both monitors. Finally make sure that in options you have vertical splitscreen enabled.
