MW EA TRAX Expansion and The Run Pursuit Music

English

Description

MW EA TRAX Expansion and The Run Pursuit Music expands the soundtrack of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) with your own music.

Add MP3/WAV/M4A files to EA TRAX, import 27 songs from your PC copy of Underground 2, and optionally bring eight adaptive pursuit scores from The Run into Rockport. The Run pursuit music responds to pursuit conditions and returns to normal music when the pursuit ends.

The Run is optional. You can use MP3/WAV and Underground 2 imports on their own, with MW’s original pursuit music.

No game music is included. Audio is prepared locally from files you provide.

Import Underground 2 music — optional

You need an installed PC copy of Underground 2 and an archive extractor that supports BIG4.

• []Locate

  SDATA/sdat.vivin your UG2 installation and copy it to a working folder.[/]

  []Open the copy with your archive extractor. If necessary, select “All files” in its file browser or rename only the working copy to

  sdat.big.[/]

  []Extract these two files from inside the archive:[/]

PFDATA/MusicSFx.mpf

PFDATA/MusicSFx.mus

• []Place both extracted files directly inside:[/]

scripts/NFSMWEATraxExpansion/UG2MusicSFx/Keep the supplied

MusicSFx.metadata.inialongside them.

.musdoes not work. Use both files from the same archive, without an extra

PFDATAfolder around them.
