NFSMW Track Expansion
Description
NFSMW Track Expansion 0.6.2
! This mod is still Work In Progress !
Currently about 75% of it is completed. There are more tracks to come (including drags), and the existing ones need to be fully finished as well. Circuits and KOs are the most complete currently.
Completed trackmaps: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1m7IL3MTjL7_0qtEWlIdssde3geqTUl_F
The mod adds up to 140 new race tracks into the game. Nearly all new tracks are also available in career mode, albeit without free roam engagetriggers due to game limitations.
This means you can only access Track Expansion races from the Blacklist menu or Quick Race.
Not all tracks have a map preview or a minimap! The mod is WIP, missing ones are going to be added in a later version.
Not all routes have proper barriers available. This might be possible to fix once Hypercooled is available, but for now, we have to deal with it.
There is no support for existing savefiles currently! You have to use Extra Options and Unlockall, or make a new save and progress through the game again.
Do NOT use a savefile with Challenge Series progression! Savefiles can only store a limited amount of event completions.
Due to this limitation, the mod blocks access to Challenge Series events by default.
This mod is most likely not compatible with any other mods that modify the race lists in any way! Known to be incompatible: MW Cut Races; MW Track Pack; Rally Checkpoint Tracks; Absurd Race Tracks.
I might make compatibility patches later, but no promises. Let me know if this would be important to you.
English and French languages are supported currently. Other languages could receive support later. Let me know if you can help!
Cops are temporarily enabled on some tracks where they were not planned. This will change once more point to point races are available.
INSTALLATION (Easy)
You need: NFS-VltEd v4.6 or OGVI 1.4 (or newer) and Binary 2.8.3 (or newer)
I highly recommend you create backups of your game files, especially if you have already installed other mods.
- Unpack the mod archive into a folder (7-zip recommended)
- Open NFS-VltEd v4.6, or OGVI 1.4 and select Game > Most Wanted
- File > Open > Choose your NFS Most Wanted game folder or executable where you want to install the mod
- File > Import > ModScript > Select TE_easy_install_ModScript.nfsms in the folder where you extracted the mod archive and Open
- Click Install or Import in the ModScript Installer window. No errors should appear.
- File > Save
- Close NFS-VltEd or OGVI
- Open Binary
- Choose User Mode
- Select TE_install_Binary.end and Open
- Choose your NFS Most Wanted game folder where you installed the ModScript. Install should complete without errors (might take a while).
- Save the files (may take a few minutes)
- Close Binary or Run the game
The mod is installed!
Please keep in mind that this installation method blocks access to Challenge Series events due to savefile limitations!
INSTALLATION (Custom)
You can access all track expansion events using custom installation.
Additional options in current version: Enable cops, Show checkpoints, Maximum traffic density, KOs to Circuits, Speedtraps to Sprints
Choosing maximum traffic density or speedtraps to sprints will cause some errors, which is normal.
The process is almost the same as Easy Installation. Follow steps 1-3 above, then choose TE_custom_install_ModScript.nfsms in step 4.
5. Pick the options you want, then click install.
The rest of the process is the same once again. Follow steps 6-13 above.
The game can only store 320 event completions in the savefile. The base game already has 256 events total.
You can use the custom installation and ignore this limitation by adding more events than what the savefile can store.
Each track package contains races for the specified blacklist member. Extra packages include additional tracks, which are similar to "Bonus Tracks".
Bonus and Extra Tracks are usually very simple and short. Bonus Tracks can have minor issues, which is why they are exclusive to Quick Race.
Uninstallation
- Open NFS-VltEd v4.6, or OGVI 1.4 and select Game > Most Wanted
- File > Open > Choose your NFS Most Wanted game folder or executable where you want to install the mod
- File > Import > ModScript > Select TE_uninstall_ModScript.nfsms in the folder where you extracted the mod archive and Open
- Click Install or Import in the ModScript Installer window. Ignore the errors, it's normal.
- File > Save
- Close NFS-VltEd or OGVI
The mod is uninstalled.
Updating
0.5 -> 0.6
Save files from an older version might have issues with new events staying locked!
Updating from the initial version is only possible with a reinstall.
First, follow the Uninstallation process above. Then install the mod again using your desired method.
0.6 or 0.6.1 -> 0.6.2
Import TE_0.6.2_update_ModScript.nfsms in VltEd or OGVI, then perform the Binary installation again.
Updating from 0.6.1 will show errors, which is normal.

MWO Compatibility
I included the race files required by MWO server, which means you can play Track Expansion events on a custom MWO server.
MWO doesn't fully support complex mods like Track Expansion, but it is playable without major issues (track names are missing).
You need to install the mod on top of MWO, then include the MWO+TE global and tracks files as replacements (game resources) in your server.
Players joining your server are going to download the server resources automatically.

Making this mod would not have been possible without his help and support. The internal testing documentation can be found here:

Special Thanks to:
tedgn and Will Treaty
They made MWO compatibilty possible by creating a small program which generates the server files from my modscripts.

Additional feedback and other testers:
- VROOMGUYx
- Artacer
- Shoori
I am aware that some shorter circuit routes in this mod have been used in other mods or NFSW servers before, however there are very few races directly inspired by them.
I used a specific method to map out all possible routes, which lead to some of them matching with existing mods. Despite this, the tracks are all custom made by me and I've only used my own or vanilla coordinates for everything.
This mod is also intended as a resource. This means it can be used in any project, as long as you give credit (like CC BY).
You are not allowed to reupload this mod without my permission. It is currently only available on NFSMods and NFSAddons.
You are allowed to create and upload modifications depending/requiring this mod. Modpacks are allowed to take content from the mod if credit is given (permission not required).
Some tracks include additional shortcuts as resources. As an example, it is possible to add scripted blockades in these sections, while allowing the AI and player to drive around it using an alternative path.
In case you encounter any issues or have questions, leave a comment below.
If you are interested in contributing, I'm looking for help with:
- Translations
- Upscaled HUD support
Thanks!
