is there a trainer that allows that sort of thing ? i havent seen one around

Yes there is. I think it is Trainer +19, I can't really remember now.

I'll check and tell it later. Imo, there should be only one BIG trainer, that has all "cheats" that has been found to NFSC. I have like 6 trainers now and man it is annoying to change from trainer to other to get "cheat" working.

How can you get that damn Mazda Dealership, i tried the stupid cheat at the main menu and the 'Click to continue' menu. Neither worked, none of the stupid cheats work. So how do I get this damn thing?!

Ma cac prin mata ca prin sita. De ce pula mea faci reclama , nu tio dat mata tzatza cand ai fo belit in cap de copilas? Tumoare de pula ce esti.

Transtation: Stop advertising you dumb. Why are you doing this? Didn't you know 'bout the rules ? You are not smart.

He just tries to steal other people's serial number this way.
He posted it already on a couple of boards. This guy should be banned!

No he doesn't

If you read carefully you can leave the serial like it is with just zeros, and then edit your self.

Has anyone found the values for the online cards yet?

Ceano · Post by **Ceano** » 29 Nov 2006, 02:41

Well that is not the case, because he has written the following:

We don't want to steal your serial!
We just want to make easy to yourself. Anyway if you still don't want to enter your serial, than just leave zeros and you will get your savegame with 20 zeros inside instead of serial. Then you can edit it with any text editor and enter your real serial.

I know what trainers to use to get these cars, but I want to unlock this so called 'Mazda Dealership' as shown above in pictures

that's not the problem, this guy has spammed on a lot of boards (known as benjo31000, picakobombonica, shino_ino), when i mean a lot, it's really _A LOT_, his messages was deleted of course

Yes that he may have done but here we was talking about if he was out to steal original CD keys or not.

Well i have tried to use the cheat code speed3foryou at the MAIN MENU, and it works just fine. Have you tried that one? i know there is the other one (chasingheadlocksappliedrashtalk) but that doesn't work for me ether.

After spending some days staring at carbon savegame hexcodes, I think I can say for certain that the reward card data is stored in the compressed part of the savegame.

I also found some other interesting stuff, for example:
Starting at index 00000240 to about 0000A90 (it tends to shift around) there's data that seems the contain territory data, like what area's you control, have unlocked etc.
I haven't tried alot with it, but I tried something with it when I started a new career with the camaro, and after I changed some stuff I started out with the camaro in the Downtown area.

The compressed area of the savegame starts about at index 00034B48.
I think EA didn't want us to be poking around in that part, probably containing unlock data like reward cards etc.
So, is there a compression specialist in the room ???

Maybe these are the offline reward cards?

gnagna2000 was thinking the online reward cards were online she was trying to capture packets. Not sure yet how that went.

Still possible that they are both in save file. It's also possible that when you go online it uncompresses the data from the save file and updates it.

I'm sure there are a few people by now that have all online reward cards completed.

I would really like to see the online reward cards completed!!!

Maybe Gnagna2000 can help here.

Ceano · Post by **Ceano** » 29 Nov 2006, 17:27

Yes I hope that some one with the knowledge will do this, so that we can unlock EVERYTHING

To something else:
Here is a pic of the Mazda Dealer after i have unlocked it with the cheat code speed3foryou at the MAIN MENU.

Still, the game needs to know what reward cards you've unlocked, and it get that info from the savegame ... so I do think that both offline and online reward cards are stored in the savegame.
It would be stupid if you unlocked some online reward cards then go offline and not be able to use the cars/vinyls/spoilers/whatever from those reward cards

Just my thoughts ...

GodSpeed · Post by **GodSpeed** » 29 Nov 2006, 20:17

I understand that. It sounds like you could be right there.

Not sure if you tried this or not, But no matter whois save game you load ( login with your Account ) just race one race online and it updates your account info to that save game. That's if you save the game.

Example: If the XP level is say 1 on the savegame. you login and race a game after race is completed check your XP Level it will be updated to what ever your XP is on your Own Account. so mine is say 10.

Check your Stats and it's at XP 10 from XP 1. just from one race.

I have been thinking they store XP online also?

An easy way would be use one of the save games floating around give it to someone who has XP50+ and have them race one race and save the game. remove account info from save game so it's blank again. I am sure this is a easy way and safe way of having all Online rewards completed. Just an Idea though.

Account info is in plain sight in the save file. this would have to be removed before passing it around!

Gnagna2000 might be able to help here we wait and see.

Nice Ceano..... It's Sticky!

GodSpeed · Post by **GodSpeed** » 30 Nov 2006, 01:24

Gnagna2000, said she was going to start poking around with this. Try some of my ideas that I have found with the saves and your current online xp how it updates any save file.

We both beleave it is possible online xp is stored on the save file and online with your profile. how else would it update a save file not used with that account. until you race one race online then it updates your stats. to what ever your profiles XP is. I think this might be tricky to fool the system. we wait and see.

using packet sniffer to grab some packets and see where we stand with this.

Turbocharger · Post by **Turbocharger** » 30 Nov 2006, 02:19

Thanks Ceano, that helps, i'll go try it now, I wanna see what this Mazda Dealer is like for myself

EDIT: Well that was pointless.......all there is is an rx-8 that gets unlocked in Bonus Cars, no wonder u can't buy cars there, so just go to another car shop.

Ceano · Post by **Ceano** » 30 Nov 2006, 12:05

Yea i know, stupid EA that adds a car shop that has no what so ever function.

Turbocharger · Post by **Turbocharger** » 30 Nov 2006, 22:22

Yea, stupid pointless bastard, but then they put models like the Pagani and Dodge Challenger in the so called "EA Downloaders" version when all you need is a trainer for CE since the car files are alkready there. Pffft
