(Carbon) Extend Vinyl Limit???

Jaster_Mereel · Post by **Jaster_Mereel** » 25 Nov 2006, 01:55

I was just wondering if there is a way to extend the number of vinyls you can stick on a car (20 just isn't enough

). It doesn't even have to be online usable or anything like that, just so I can add more vinyls...

sorry, in your savegame, there are only 20 vinyl slots for each car. no1 can do anything about that.

Thanks for the answer. As for what I am doing to the "poor car", you can take a look here: The Poor Car

you should see what i done to a Z06. that was fun. i was running out of space with only "half" of the car done. Although i managed to delete some of the details in order to finish the work, but still, it's not 100% accuracy...

20 might be enough ! EA wanted to make a good tuning game ... and the cars that get out from our hands not to be riced ... ( even wit 4 layers cars can get riced ). Today i made a car wit maximum .. 20 layers i put them all good toghether but it looked pretty overloaded .. so 20 are enough IMO

20 vinyls is too little for me and for many others, because i cant create "own" vinyls with shapes (such vinyls take very many slots) and aftermartkets/logos/etc. I cant even place doubled aftermarkets on the other car side - for ex. 5+5=10 - too high price in making car looking perfect from any view

So is it just possible to crack that system with hex editing?

Even if it would be crackable via hex-editing, it might not show to others on online. For example, we have putted 21 layers and the last one is Tribal body 1. I don't believe, that other users are going to see layer 21, instead of that, they would see layer 20.

online doesnt matter for me, i just want such a hack for personal use - to make quality vinyl style without worrying about its limit

or just wait a little longer for someone makes a exporter for vinyl.bin, then the fun begins.

Well "the fun". I hate creating vinyls atm. I finally made new vinyl for MW for long time and I screwed it up. Besides, isn't Carbons vinyls enough? Geesh...

The savegame offers 700 slots for vinyls, so if the game doesn't check the number of vinyls you currently have on a car you should be able to chain a large number using a hex editor.

HAMANN · Post by **HAMANN** » 15 Dec 2006, 02:25

how and where did u know about 700 "slots"?

He knows the intricacies of the savegame format used by EA. He helped cracked the Most Wanted savegame format, and Carbon is very similar.

HAMANN · Post by **HAMANN** » 15 Dec 2006, 14:03

yay! But how can the game write about 20 vinyl limit, if it doesnt check numbers of current vinyls?
