Project Naer

Have you always wondered how your car will look in this color? Or with these wheels? Or with this body kit? Or maybe you spend more time in Need For Speed customizing your car than playing the actual game? I have something for you!

Project Naer is a simple application which allows to personalize your car. Here are the elements you can change to customize your car:

• wheels : rim and tyre, color, diameter, width, camber, offset and toe
• car : color, body kits and every individual part composing its body

You can also change the ground on which the car is sitting among 10 possibilities.

Project Naer is scalable. This means new content can be added without having to change a single line of code: the new content will be detected automatically and added to the corresponding menu.

Shortcuts

Some actions can be triggered, or menus displayed, using the following shortcuts :

• A to toggle ON/OFF the autorotation of the camera around the car
• B to display the body shop menu
• G to display the garage menu
• I to save the image to the screenshot folder

When the autorotation is OFF, holding LMB allows you to manually rotate the camera around the car.

These shortcuts are customizable by editing config/config.json and searching for shortcuts.

Configuration

The default resolution is 1920 x 1080.

If you want to change it, edit the file config/release.prc and search for the parameter named win-size.
