How Many Cars?

Post by agentwilbur »

I think i discovered something new
I think u can add N number of cars in the nfs carbon CUSTOM cars Menu
What i did i went to my cars creation list and created all the Tuner cars of the game i edited them with vinyls and put high performace settings 4 all then i hex edited my save i transfered all the cars from my cars menu to custom cars list. ie i changed 04 to 10
Even after doin this< the My Cars menu still holds 20 slots for cars to be added.
So Is it that i can add N number of cars in the CUSTOM CARS List.
Just Download my Save File and see.
3 cars in mY cars menu yet to be added and the remaining cars in custom cars List already added some of the cars are locked after unlocking the respected stock car the car in custom cars gets unlocked
so use the Trainer and unlock all cars the check out custom crs tell what do u think abt it.

Re: REWARD CARDS

STAT-X wrote:To awnser your question, we can't edit the reward cards yet, we can only unlock all of them. This is because the reward cards are saved in a compressed part of the savegame, but since a few days we are able to extract it. So at the moment we can't lock or unlock a single card, but we are looking in to it.
As you already mentioned in another thread you can export the data, edit the needed bytes and re-import it into the save. However this process might be a bit time consuming if you don't know which bytes stand for which card.
If you use tSearch, go to address 00a8ad08, it's a static pointer to the structure holding the reward cards. Copy the 4 byte value located there and use it as an address.
Scroll down a bit and you should land here:

The online cards are a few lines underneath.

It could be done in under a minute or 2 if they do know what they're looking for. And you're way also isn't very clear on which hex value edits which card. Anyway, it's gonna be up to the people which way is easier to them.

At least when done in memory the change is instantely visible in the reward cards screen, should save you a couple of mins of finding the right one I guess. ;)

cards datas are stored like this
lets say a line of 4 cards which contain 4 parts

Code: Select all

 __ __   __ __   __ __   __ __
|__|__| |XX|__| |__|__| |__|__| <- Line 1
|__|__| |__|__| |__|XX| |__|__| <- Line 2
XX means not unlocked
Line 1 will be like this:
01 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00
Line 2:
01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00

which will give in the memory:
01 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 01 00 00 00 01 00 01 00

hope you'll understand :p

But this will not unlock the card if all set to 1
there's a group of 4 bytes located below this block
add 01 at the end of each 4 bytes to unlock the card (i can't tell the order though)

Goddamn it, why don't you try reading some of this stuff first before asking all over the forum for people to spell it out for you? We're not here for your amusement alone.

Iwas Worong about My message with the Big Fonts you cannot add as many cars as you like in the game i found out that u can add upto a total of 44 cars in the game by changing the menu or somethin where the cars appear.
I created 20 cars in my cars transfered to custom cars list then more 20 then transfered again till i reached a limit of 44. then back transfered all to my cars

For heaven's sake, how hard is it to use edit button people? I hate all of you, who just are lazy to press edit button. Need a picture? Image

And by the way, savegames have their own topic, NFSC savegames.

cparty, i finally figured out how to calculate address(or offset). and i added Cross' car(picture 1), and removed that texture code(4F39 changed to 3393). but what i found out that the car didn't have any texture(picture 2)... so its "vinyl" IS a real texture...


what i would like to do is use picture 1's vinyl(or texture) on picture 3's car... dunno if this can be done...

spectre01, if I'm not mistaken cross looks like this (normal Z06 with a true carbon vinyl)
Image
The picture1 you posted shows a normal cop corvette? If so, as you already mentioned, it's probably a texture which is in the TEXTURES.BIN and cannot be removed by editing any codes (afaik 4F39 belongs to the customization2 slot). The only way would be if there was a tool to edit the TEXTURE.BIN files and then swap/replace those two.

Why doesn't someone make a program that can hex edit your savegame for you and save us a head ace because last time I tried to edit my savegame Most Wanted wouldn't even start. Despite the fact it would crash as soon as you played for more than 5 minutes but still.... a program would be greatly appreciated! :)

The reason no one makes a program is either because the hex editing masters don't know how to make a program, or that they don't have the time to make a program. It'll also be somewhat complex to make a program that can do this all, such as edit vinyl slots and customization2 slots that are in reality chained together and hardly ever in order in the savegame.

If you do everything right, hex editing will work. If things don't work, you're doing soemthing wrong.

Vinyl

Post by agentwilbur »

is it possible to unlock those vinyls from those crew gangs of scorpios and black hearts. their vinyls look very impressive. scorpios vinyl is the one that come on the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX in the start video . if it is possible to get these vinyls plz let me know... i 'm not talking abt those online vinyls.

i recently downloaded a 100% save of nfs when i checked this out there is this car Mitsubishi Lancer Evo IX from the scorpios crew edited n put in custom cars menu.
so tell me if it is possible to get vinyls from black hearts and infernos.
and let me know how to do it.

Yes it is possible, check this thread (or the wiki):
http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?t=13569

btw. the save you posted is a slightly modified version of my save I posted ;)

to Nfs-GOD:

you should first read the hex editing guide for Most Wanted first(can be found on this site), then move on to Carbon. Carbon is a little complex compare to MW. Especially the tuning slot part.
