Description

NFSHS CARP Generator by AJ_Lethal

____________________________________________________


A spreadsheet tool that can help you to generate a CARP.txt file from scratch.

____________________________________________________


Requirements

------------

Either

-Libreoffice 7.x or later

-MS Excel 2019 or later

___________________________________________________


Usage:

-----------

-Open either the MS Excel version (.xlsx) or the OpenDocument version (.ods)

     -There's also a macro-enhanced version of the OpenDocument version (works only on LibreOffice), allowing automated CARP importing and exporting; make sure to allow macro execution in your LibreOffice options. It's labeled a beta because of a couple of bugs (namely imports can't be undone, however you can use the Clear Fields button to reset all fields), but it should work fine.

-Fill in the required data in the Main sheet

      -If you need to find info on your car's performance there are a couple of places that could be useful for data, such as:

         -Car magazines

         -The manufacturer websites

         -automobile-catalog.com

         -Carfolio.com

         -if everything else fails, pray to Saint Google

     -You can also use CarTest to obtain stuff such as acceleration times, torque curve, etc. from car data as well. You can get here at:

          -https://www.beretta.net/goodie_bin/cartest.htm

          or

          -https://archive.org/details/cartest_202106

              -Since it's a DOS program you might need DOSBox to run it

-You can also import (most) of the data from an existing CARP.txt file. Just open the existing CARP with a text editor, copy the contents and paste it column A of the CARP Import sheet. Choose "comma" as separator as prompted.

      -The imported CARP data will appear in the Imported CARP Values sheet, you have to copy and paste the data into the Main sheet from there

       -Some steering values, opponent data and g-transfer factor won't be imported.

-There's also a FEDATA compare data calculator, it's not 100% accurate but it's close enough.

-When you're done go to the Generated CARP sheet, select the A column and copy it. Then paste it in Notepad and save it as CARP.txt; from there you can import in your car.viv file with NFS Wizard or any other VIV utility.

-There's also the option to generate upgrade CARP files, just enable them in the Main sheet and fill the fields accordingly; then copy the B/C/D columns into new text files and save them as CARP1.txt/CARP2.txt/CARP3.txt

    What did you use to create this file?

    It gives me warnings about corruption.

    Then, the file is messed up and with mass errors (no graphs too) when I try to open it with 3 different generations of MS Excel.

      I made the file in LibreOffice 7.1.5; I recommend using LibreOffice 7.x or MS Office 2019 onwards to open the file.

    MS Excel 2019 cannot open this properly :hmm:

    Can you save it to some other format, or... I don't know...

      I uploaded an updated version that comes in both .xlsx and .ods formats, the .xlsx version should work just fine.

    You can use Google Docs in case you don't have Office/LibreOffice installed.
