0.9.5 Alpha

New

• AI opponents. Split-screen races can have AI racers: set Opponents and their Difficulty on the race options (up to 6 racers in all, 4 in drag; sprint drift has no AI). Their cars are picked to match the fastest player's car, and with 3-4 players each AI measures itself against the right player.
• Race intros with 5-6 cars. Races with AI now get the intro and the grid girls too. In URL, drift and Street X races with 5-6 cars the players start at the front of the grid so the intro can show them.

Fixed

• The 30-second "Hurry!" countdown after the first finisher never started with 3-4 players (the race waited for everyone).
• With 3-4 players, the other players' minimaps disappeared when player 1 finished. Now each player's own minimap hides when they finish, and the others keep theirs.
• After a race, a rhythmic screen flash with the sound cutting in and out (a player's car was being reset over and over behind the results).
• A black world behind the results when the outro didn't show player 1, and a wind noise from player 1's hidden car.
• Crashes: at the results when an AI car failed to load, when restarting from the post-race menu, and when starting a new race after going back to the menus.
• An AI car could be invisible (not enough memory for its textures).

Install: copy NFSU2SplitScreen.asi and NFSU2SplitScreen.ini into the game's scripts folder (replace the old files). You also need the Ultimate ASI Loader; WidescreenFix is recommended.
