Need for Speed: Carbon DLC Unlocker

---

This is a plugin that hooks Need for Speed: Carbon DLC system, allowing you to unlock DLC content without modifying the game's assets or manually editing the save file. By default, it unlocks all six DLC exclusive cars (Porsche 911 Turbo, Dodge Challenger R/T, Toyota Corolla GT-S, Infiniti G35, Shelby GT500 '06, Pagani Zonda F) as well as unhides and unlocks Xbox 360 exclusive Virus vinyls. The plugin should work with any version of nfsc.exe.

Usage:
1. Extract all files from the release into the game directory.
2. (OPTIONAL) Edit scripts\dlc.txt and add the internal names of any unlocks you wish to obtain. You can find known DLC unlock lists in dlc_examples directory.
3. Play the game. DLC content should become available immediately, you do not need to create a new save file.

New in 1.2.0:
- Added missing DLC unlock lists to dlc_examples directory.
- Small fix for hooked function detection.

@Zethras DLC cars are not unlocked through story progression, they are supposed to be unlocked right off the bat. If you do not see the Zonda anywhere, you did not install the plugin correctly. Keep in mind that the Zonda is not available in Career mode, it can only be used in Quick Race (under custom cars).

I just finished a brand new career with this mod installed, but some cars didn't unlock at all, even after defeating Darius. Especially the Zonda

@Nicknine That (kinda) makes sense

DLC cars and parts still having a price tag is normal PC behavior. I've compared X360 and PC code side-by-side and PC doesn't have the snippets that return 0 cost for DLC unlocks.

I hope you can find a way to make the Porsche 911 Turbo, Dodge Challenger R/T, and Infiniti G35 cost free (0) without modifying the game files soon.
