Hey guys ...

Now there is a new Camera Hack out for NFS-MW ... by Racer_S ... he's a star ! ...
It allows you to do all sorts of things with the camera view ... such as pull back the camera to increase the FOV.

Get it here ... http://toca.game-editing.net/files ... in the Need For Speed Tools section about half way down the page ... instructions for use are in the ReadMe file that comes with it.

Some screenshots ...

Normal view after res change ...


With the Camera Hack you can pull back the camera ...


or even further if you like ...


There are other camera options available such as this ...


It is also possible to get this view like this which has the Rear View Mirror in the behind car view.
I used one of the interior views and then pulled back the camera to behind the car.

Alternative ArtMoney Hack ... (Unnecessary if the above Res Changer works)

Firstly ... this is the way I have done it on my computer ... it may differ on your computer ... but lets hope not ...
I have never used ArtMoney before or any programme like it ... so ... it can't be that difficult ...

That said it may seem quite daunting for anyone new to this sort of thing as this explanation is very long ... BUT ... it isn't as bad as it seems ...
Hopefully I have done this clearly enough for all ... but ... if you have an issue please let me know and I will see what I can do for you ...
Please post any issues in the Solution Discussion forum.

How to use ArtMoney to get Need for Speed - Most Wanted to work in widescreen ...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start ArtMoney ... do nothing else with it just yet.
Now start NFS - MW
Set resolution in the game to 800x600
Press Alt+tab to minimize the game

In ArtMoney click on the arrow next to the Select process box and choose Need for Speed Most Wanted ...



Now click the Search button ...



In the box that appears type in 800 in the Value area then click the OK button ...



Once the search process finishes ... click OK ... ArtMoney should now have quite a few entries in the field on the left (Do nothing else with ArtMoney just yet) ...



Now click back on to NFS - MW on your Taskbar to go back in to the game.
Change the resolution in the game to 1024x768
Press Alt+tab to minimize the game again



In ArtMoney use the Filter button ...



In the box that appears type in 1024 in the Value area then click the OK button ...



Once the filter process finishes ... click OK ... ArtMoney should now have about 18 entries in the field on the left ...



Now using the Green arrow button pass all of them to the right field ...



In ArtMoney use the Search button again ...



In the box that appears type in 768 in the Value area then click the OK button ...



Once the search process finishes ... click OK ... ArtMoney should now have lots more entries in the field on the left (Do nothing else with ArtMoney just yet) ...



Now click back on to NFS - MW on your Taskbar to go back in to the game.
Change the resolution in the game to 800x600
Press Alt+tab to minimize the game again

In ArtMoney use the Filter button again ...



In the box that appears type in 600 in the Value area then click the OK button ...



Once the filter process finishes ... click OK ... ArtMoney should now have about 21 entries in the field on the left ...



Now using the Green arrow button again pass all of them to the right field ...



Now right click on any entries in the right field that do not have either 800 or 600 in the Value column and choose delete ...



Now Left Click and highlight the first entry for 800 and then hold down Shift and click on the last 800 value ... so all the 800 values are selected.
Right click on any one of them and choose Edit Selected from the pop up menu ...



In the box that appears change the XXX in the Value area to your desired width resolution (in my case 1920) and click OK ...



Repeat this last process (in blue) for the 600 values changing them to your desired height resolution.

ArtMoney should now look like this ...



Click the Save button at the bottom ... enter a name in the save field ... Do not close ArtMoney



Now click back on to NFS - MW on your start bar to go back in to the game ... the game should be at your desired resolution


IMPORTANT
This does not fix the game for your desired resolution permanently
So ...
Next time you want to play NFS - MW you have to do some of the above process again ... but ... it isn't as bad as having to do all that above again.

Here is what you do ...
Start up ArtMoney ... do nothing else with it just yet.
Start up NFS-MW (with the game resolution set at 800x600)
Press Alt+tab to minimize the game
In ArtMoney as before Select process ...



Now using the Load button at the bottom load your saved "Table" ...



Again change the values for 800 and 600 in the Value column ... as shown in blue text above

To help next time you use ArtMoney for NFS - MW ... as before ... delete any entries in the right field that do not have either 800 or 600 in the Value column and choose delete ...



Save again
Now click back on to NFS - MW on your start bar to go back in to the game ... the game should be at your desired resolution once again.

Next time you use this process to get your desired resolution you should just have 7 entries for 800 and 7 entries for 600 to change as in the blue bit above.

That's it ... enjoy ...
