Thanks man Smile

Yeah I will always find human-readable text like you say, but I can't really do a lot with it. I was searching for lots of "on" or "offs" or "enabled" and "disabled", if you see what I mean. And yep, I found lots of them, but changing them doesn't affect anything in any way.

car0 is the default car? Because yes, it was the default car cruising around.


I'll look if I can find the stop speed value, that should be fun! Razz

And I didn't get this sentence:

Quote:
If all the car definition files have the exact same size, try to look for a value that has a value for the car you have at the beginning of the game, but another one for all other cars.


I don't have access the any car definition files sadly. I guess they're encrypted or something.

(If this file is 100% made of human-readable text, ignore the paragraph below)
"on" and "off" are short words, chances are that there is coincidentally a byte that is equal to "o" and the next one is "n", but they mean something completely different. Discard this remark if there is a lot of human readable text around.
Also, are you using notepad/wordpad to edit this file?
if no: good
if yes: you should use an hex editor. Text editors replace every byte that is equal to 10 by TWO bytes (13 followed by 10), hence f*cking up your file. If you wanna know why, that's because 13 means "new line" and 10 means "go to the beginning of the line". Some text editors understand that a new line begins at the border of the page, but some others don't and microsoft prefers the 13-10 convention, so when their text editors spot a lonely 13, they "fix" it so that it matches their convention.
And make sure to add a byte=0x0 after "on" when you replace "off" by "on" so as to keep the filesize constant. You cannot replace a "on" by a "off" because you need to add one byte.

We'll assume the are NOT encrypted, but just some binary data that is not human readable text.

You have default_car.def, locked_car.def, and super_car.def somewhere. If all 3 files have the exact same size, look for a value that is equal to -for example- 0 in default_car.def, but 1 in locked_car.def and super_car.def, because the default car is not locked by default, but locked_car and super_car have to be unlocked.
