Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Wow, and let the modding begin!
Is there are way to get the CE cars in the regular edition?
I do think we need to move this to the Editing forum though. Especially since we are talking about editing in some fashion.

How exactly did you load other meshes?

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Only managed to get them by replacing Garage Cars, yet - that way they still appear as the replaced car in menu, but on the street its the right car with the correct specs (i think)prince1142003 wrote:Is there are way to get the CE cars in the regular edition?
They're filtered by carcode instead of logocode now - so we either need the cheat codes or the 'blueprint code'

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Is the savegame format similar to ProStreet's?
Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
very similar, carslots are 28bytes now, with some new bytes for pinkslip cars (AA01AAAA), but rest remains unchanged
the 01 basically says that its a pinkslip car and you can buy copies of it.
and theres only one customslot per car now, instead of 3.
custom slots are 2700bytes and theres 70 of them.
vinyl section looks the same, too. didn't look into it much, yet.

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
I really can't help with discoverring and trying out codes. I haven't got the game yet, and won't be getting it till after final exams (which are in a month).
But it's good to know that the savegame structure will be familiar.

All of the car codes are in the GlobalMemoryFile.bin, I'm 99% sure that the logo codes are in there too.Albtraum wrote:some new carcodes:don't have the logocodes, though...Code: Select all

All of the other cars are present.

You usually have to sell the car and purchase it again or else you might end up with something like this:
The car list that you want to edit in Underground's GlobalMemoryFile.bin starts at 11f76h

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
So there's currently no way of unlocking the locked cars without replacing another car?
Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
@bytesss
thx, got the logocodes now, 'just' have to sort out the missing ones now.
but i can't find the customization codes, though - that code in the customization slot, which is responsible for what car will be displayed in menu - without them, it keeps displaying the replaced car in menu - on street and performance wise its the right car, but sculpt/vinyl modifications in menu doesn't fit.
@prince
nope.
we either need the unlocking cheat code, if that isn't serial-bound or something - but then customization codes are obsolete anyway.
or someone with collectors edition who shares a savegame with the 5 ce-cars in garage
pretty clever move from ea to hide the cars by carcode instead of logocode

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Looks like EA learned something this time.
Is it possible to get the customization codes by replacing items in GlobalMemory.bin?

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Here some great news from the Zmodeler2 Forum, from Oleg.
There are some good news however. Carbon and ProStreet have been using an unknown compression method (we had a decompressing routines, so it was possible to load models) while Undercover uses and old-style (from NFS:Porsche Unleashed) compression method. It was a bit surprising, since compression algorithm is known. Literally, it's possible to change data and put it back into the game files. I don't know whether the game will work with modified files (checksumm, CRC or some other data-control might be present), but this is generally a good news.
I think that MostWanted was chosen for modding since it does not compress files. May be those guys who have been working on MW scripts could write a ZModeler export code. Unfortunally, current filter code is very garbage (since it tries to handle Carbon, ProStreet and Undercover versions - it's a real mess to deal with all of them).
Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Unlocking the full CE is pretty easy (technically just a 1 byte patch in memory)... but I feel kinda bad revealing it since its a source of income for EA . I do have a full list of the things that the cheat codes unlock, and there isn't any that unlocks CE, or any of the CE cars unfortunately...
I haven't done much memory hacking since the MW days, so I'm somewhat outdated on what exactly changed in Carbon/PS, and I have no idea what I should be looking for to help you guys. But if someone walks me through it, I can probably help out

Right. Because EA doesn't have any other source of income and cares about its consumers so much that it actually makes a decent game.arushan wrote:Unlocking the full CE is pretty easy (technically just a 1 byte patch in memory)... but I feel kinda bad revealing it since its a source of income for EA .
Nice to see you back though. Your expertise has been missed around here. There's a full hex editing guide for Carbon available on the wiki, here. Things remained fairly the same in ProStreet, and you can check those out here. They may require a lot of reading though.

Thanks... did a quick scan through them. Doesn't look too bad.
Did a simple swap in memory with a CCX, and I noticed what Albtraum is talking about not being replaced in the menus... sounds like this is going to be fun.

In germany its totally legal to acquire the CE Cars, if they're in the game you've bought
no matter what, as long as you're not sharing any copyrighted content.
they're on the dvd you've bought - they're yours (for personal use). simple as that.
If EA would release a real CE of value, maybe with some physical bonuses added (think warhammer ce), I would be glad to buy that instead. But 10$ for a cheat code? Thats just another sad joke on us nfs gamers, imho.
btw: I was about to finish that wiki entry on prostreets save format, but my Internet went down last week...
Don't know if they're actually CE-Content, but here you go:Argentum47 wrote:May i see some screenshots of the CE's 911GT2 and Terlingua Mustang, please?
Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Posted a dump of the menucodes/carcodes here. They're not matched up, but I'm sure you guys should have no trouble matching them up.
Just fyi (and I'm getting technical here) the Logocodes are essentially nodes out of the "frontend" tree in the FE_ATTRIB.BIN file, and the Carcodes are nodes out of the "pvehicle" tree in the ATTRIBUTES.BIN file. ATTRIBUTES.BIN is also present in a cached form in the GlobalMemoryFile.bin file.

Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
uh, thx a lot.
i was just figuring out how to get that police porsche into garage for another guy.
68DDA6F3 8D5B7DD2 50A45814 68DDA6F3 08 is the bonus car entry for that - added 01 like cparty did on that prostreet savegame and it appeared in car lot, but didn't appear in garage list, was selected and driveable though, as long as you didn't select another car - then it would be gone.
taken the 46a4db92 racers/player_cop_car_911_tur_06 carcode and it works
...or not - displays as cop 911 in menu, but on the street its a cop R35 - strange
you don't happen to know about secondary carcodes (which are stored in the customization section and are responsible for what car is displayed in menu), don't you?
i called them 'blueprint codes' in prostreet, but since theres only one customization per car now, we'll have to find another name.. customization code or something like that
for example, that police porsche has customiztaion code: 09F53D50.
It can be found at byte 2512 and 2660 in the customization slot. (which start right after the carslots).
fyi, since prostreet, everything regarding car customization is in one place, not scattered throughout the savegame as in previous titles (i think - didn't mess around much with carbon, just really started with prostreet)

Btw, was there ever a checksum fixer for PS and does it still work with UC...?
Re: Need For Speed Undercover mystery meshes
Didn't work - crashed my game, I'll look into extracting some of the regular cars codes out of the savegame later...
But yes, CoDeRiPPeR did a small money editor with checksum fixing abilities for ProStreet.
Shouldn't work with Undercover, but he included source code for it.
I guess it could be modified to work with Undercover, as the savefile hasn't changed that much from what i've seen.
http://www.nfsplanet.com/nfsps_files.php -> NFS ProStreet Mini Save Editor / Checksum Fixer
command line parameter -f skips the money editing part and just fixes checksums.
