NFS Carbon Remastered UI

REMASTERED UI

Need for Speed Carbon is considered one of the best NFS titles of the 2000s, but as time goes on, quality standards go up, so I present to you, the Remastered UI for NFS Carbon, This modification aims to improve the User Interface of the game and much more. All of the textures are re-created following the design of the original textures to keep to the nostalgia that is Carbon. This modification IS NOT a TexMod TPF, instead, all of the textures are replaced directly within the files for maximum efficiency and convenience.

Here are a few notable changes that are made:

Fonts
Outlines and background elements
Menus and selections
Autozone and career
HUD
Crew camos
Map and icons
Challenge series medals and stars
Car classes and types
Turf backgrounds
Mailbox
Pursuit indicators
Intro screen
Crew section and member abilities
Race type icons
Aftermarket part logos
Track maps
(BONUS) Improved brake discs from Undercover
(BONUS) Normal-mapped HD Carbon Fiber
(BONUS) Modern Palmont license plate

@Redline You have to manually find the textures and test to see if it matches or not.

Hi Badassbaboon,

I am currently trying to transfer several textures (roads, façades, etc.) from a Texmod TPF into the original game files, very similar to what you have done here -- only with less success. The names (or addresses?) of the textures I have extracted from the TPF via TPFextract do not in the slightest resemble anything I find within the .lzc or .bin files. For example: NFSC.EXE_0x0A062155. Can you give me a hint on how to interpret or translate such naming?

Thanks in advance,

R.

@BadassBaboon Hey, is there a way for me to create custom fonts for this game? Though I like the one you used, I'd still prefer using a custom font of my own.
