Carbon Time Trial Ghosts

A mod for Need for Speed: Carbon that replaces Quick Race opponents with TrackMania-like replays

Installation

  • Make sure you have v1.4 of the game, as this is the only version this plugin is compatible with. (exe size of 7217152 bytes)
  • Plop the files of your chosen variant into your game folder. (Practice for competing against yourself in quick races, ChallengeSeries for the time trial challenges)
  • Start the game and launch any race, you will now have a PB ghost to race against instead of AI opponents.
  • Enjoy, nya~ :3

Features

  • A built-in set of events in the Challenge Series to compete with other players on
  • Drift scoring has been fixed, giving you the same amount of points regardless of whether you're using a controller or a keyboard, or have XtendedInput installed
  • Ghosts are timed based on game ticks, meaning speedbreaker is timed in real-time, and the timebug no longer applies anymore
  • Ghosts include a checksum of the player's game files, allowing you to check if someone's made any potentially unfair VLT modifications
  • Ghosts include player inputs, and while they're not directly usable for playback (the game is not deterministic) it can still be used to verify legitimacy
  • The mod includes a basic anti-cheat, preventing common methods of cheating
  • The physics tickrate has been locked to 120, meaning Widescreen Fix no longer gives you an unfair advantage
  • The World Level of Detail setting no longer influences prop spawns, keeping everyone on a level playing field with reduced props without the usual lowered texture quality
