Carbon Leaderboards

Post by Bojan »

Once again we are the first among NFS fansites to offer you a brand new feature: the Need for Speed Carbon shadow leaderboards! The leaderboards are based on shadows, which you can record on Carbon, and will rank your shadow against other user's shadows. Find out if you can beat the overall best time of the track and own that track, or try to top one of the 4 tiers or even do the best time with a dumptruck (yes we support both dump and firetrucks).

Visit the leaderboards now:

Special thanks to cparty for big help on shadows, to YaelDjiel and The Gravedigger for helping identify tracks and of course to GT3x24x7 for the idea and huge work on the whole project.

Kiskoko you can download the shadow by clicking on the time/score.

shadow665 a simple explanation is available on the main leaderboards page. Lemme quote it for ya :)
To start uploading your shadows, start up NFS Carbon, choose quick race, set it to Ranked and Record Shadow. When the race ends press 3 to open shadow and then select save shadow. Then simply come here and upload the shadow from your hard drive.

If you visit a particular track on the leaderboards you'll also see where you can find the shadow on your hard drive.

From now on you can also comment all shadows. If you spot anyone using questionable methods to make good times, be sure to write it down.

Oh i just forgot to ask something.

Can't we make it a Top 10 not Top 5?

Also i want to say that after you click a time to see what car he used when you want to go back to see the other cars it swiches back to Circuits it doesn't remain in Speedtrap for example.

Ye well that's also correct.

English SHADOW means in spanish - SOMBRA

In NFS Carbon it's an invisible car, which might help u to beat your prevois score or time

U need to choose "unranked" race in quick race mode. There u chose option - "record shadow" adn take a race. At the end of the race u will see that u can save it.

Only two cars

Post by vele »

Trough all the leaderboard there are just 2 cars Audi and Corvette so I think that This leaderboard should be organized in way to put just the best time of one car for example:
XXXxxxxxx-2.00.000-xxxxxx Toyota Supra (and that would be the best time of the track with Supra so it means one car-one record. I think it would be better cause maybe I drive better but my car is slower then Audi) Sorry if I am confusing anyone but I'm not good with the explaining things in english. :D :D

ummm for some reason Xtremev5's shadow files are named SHADUWxxx instead of SHADOWxxx. it wont work when it has the "U" but after renaming it with the "O" it will work.

Palmont: Wrong. People need to choose RANKED race mode and the Record Shadow option. Way to go with the misinformation.

vele: I agree. It would be great to have a third column showing the car name in the leaderboards. However, if you put your mouse on the speed/time for any record, you can see the car used. Also, the times/scores are different colours for each car tier. You can also use the Car Selector bar to filter the list to one car tie, a certain car class, or even to show only one car model. Soon, we intend to add the ability to filter by usernames too.

93360: Weird. Maybe his game is non-English? Imma look into to when I get the chance.

I hate to say it but we have Cheaters among us!!!!! Them Speed trap speeds Are physically impossible to reach! 1900MPH!!! on ****ING STONEWALL TUNNEL!!!! NOW THATS A LOAD OF shiznit!! to prove it i even done stonewall tunnel with a Le mans quattro & infinite NOS & could get no where near them speeds at the end of the race! I suggest we not do leader boards till we find a way to filter out the cheaters!!
