First NFSC Demo Addon

Post by Skyline_man »

Just 2 days after the PC Demo of Need For Speed Carbon release, and the famous Arushan has already made a small addon for the game:

The Addon has 3 features:
1. Allows you to select a few new cars (most of them being MAZDA SPEED 3s)

Some cars will be autoscultable, some won't. Some will have engine sounds, others won't. Some will have NOS/Speedbreaker, and some won't. Remember that these cars were never meant to be user playable

2. Allows you to skip all the movies / loading screens on startup.

3. Allows you to run the demo in a 'window'.

Also note that you must be running the EU version of the demo. I haven't tested this with the US version.

Download Here, read the readme.txt for more information on installation/configuration. Source code is included for those who are interested.


Download here.

That arushan. Is there anything he can't do?

On a side note, this means that Carbon most likely uses a similar system with the cars as Most Wanted did. This means that there is a very high likelyhood that there will be a CE patch for the normal edition. Also, it means that there will probably be the option of custom vinyls and maybe even cars if arushan manages to figure out the new compression methods.

Sweet news! Can we use the DB9 and the charger srt8?



EDIT: Tested and it is not that good, personaly, this is what I think. No tuning, no sound for some cars and a rims bug that reset them even if you change them.

In the .ini, do you write the new value in CAPS? If no, try to put them in caps.

Heh.. that's funny. Skyline_man quoted nfs-planet as the source when the mod was announced right on these forums before nfs-planet got the news :) http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?t=12600

Anyway, for the crashing problem...
1. Please do what Guil suggested and make sure the values you enter in the ini are in CAPS.
2. You may want to verify that your nfsc_demo.exe has an MD5 checksum of: c57c4913b84eafe87fd21a69d3022ca3 - That will make sure you are using the EU exe.

Like I said... these cars weren't really meant to be used by the player in the demo, but the full game should have these cars without the mentioned bugs.

LOL, i guess its because i dont visit editing forum that much. :)

Edit: Another screenshot of the MAZDASPEED 3.

Edit 2: Arushan, i noticed that with the addon mod, the cars have nitrous coming out of the exhaust, but the original cars of the demo dont have it, is there anyway you can make it work ?
