NFSC - Pursuit Challenges in Career.

By El Nico.

Latest Update:

v1.3.3 - Event removal, small changes.

(dd/mm/yyyy)

(31/03/2026)

NEW SAVE REQUIRED!!!!!!!!!

MAKE SURE to select the "Delete old events" optional script if you're updating.

In order for things to work properly,

you will need to repeat the bytecode installation process for the following:

- All of the wantedevent bytecodes.

- All of the wantedevent_phototicket bytecodes.

Events:

- Removed 'Wreck 5 Businesses' Event.

The event is a scripted event, rather than an actual milestone requirement.

This makes it more fitting for something like Driver Jobs, which it was originally made for.

It also goes beyond what 'Pursuit Challenges' was initially intended to be, which was just milestone requirements.

The event won't be lost to time, it's just been transferred back to Driver Jobs.

Neon Mile Chasedown:

- Moved from Zone 13 to Zone 14.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Cops are now required to progress through the career,

rather than being mostly an annoyance.

Heavily inspired by the "Wanted Events" from Undercover PS2,

these play more like the Wanted Events from UCPS2,

rather than the open world bounty and milestone requirements from MW.

There are 10-14 events that are shared between Vanilla, Improvement Mod v2 and Ultimate Mod.

You are required to complete 10 of them (14 if you've installed them) in order to challenge Darius in the Canyon.

They're generally based on the mid-late game milestone challenges from MW, though upped a little bit.

These are:

- Commit 6 Infractions, Heat 5.

- Get 325K Cost To State, Heat 5.

- Avoid 9 Roadblocks, Heat 5.

- Tag 38 Cop Cars, Heat 5.

- Evade within 5 minutes, Heat 5.

- Destroy 55 Cop Cars, Heat 5.

- Destroy 3 Heavy Rhinos(non-supercharged), Heat 5.

- Avoid 17 Spike Strips, Heat 8. (Heat 9 for UltMod, Heat 10 for ImpMod)

- Evade Cops After 15 minutes, Heat 8. (Heat 9 for UltMod, Heat 10 for ImpMod)

- Get 3,250,000 Bounty, Heat 8.

4 Added Events:

- Hit 10 Traffic Cars, Heat 4.

- Evade 2 Pursuits in a row, Heat 4.

- Get 8 Cops Chasing You, Heat 5.

- Get 100 Total Cops Involved, Heat 8. (Heat 9 for UltMod, Heat 10 for ImpMod)

For Vanilla Only, there are also 7 optional events that are on the easier side.

These were initially cut, then later re-added, so they wouldn't go to waste.

If you don't want these, you don't have to install them.

These are:

NOTE: Installation option is temporarily disabled.

- Escape within 3 minutes, Heat 1.

- Evade Cops after 2 minutes, Heat 2

- Get 25K Cost To State, Heat 2.

- Destroy 7 Cop Cars in San Juan, Heat 2.

- Get 40K Bounty, Heat 3.

- Avoid 7 Roadblocks, Heat 4.

- Tag 20 Cop Cars, Heat 4.

List of compatible larger mods:

- Improvement Mod v2.

- Ultimate Mod.

- Remastered UI (non-W2C)

Optional, but highly recommended:

- W2C by Max Hwoy + Others

https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/3041

Most Wanted's map was designed with pursuits in mind, whereas Carbon's wasn't.

Pursuits themselves aren't really any more difficult on Carbon's map,

but they can be painfully annoying to escape at times.

If you're installing on a vanilla copy of the game, install W2C using VltEd first, then switch over to OGVI[Attribulator].

Improvement Mod v2 has an OGVI compatibility patch for W2C.

If you want to use this mod along with Ultimate Mod + W2C, then:

1. Install W2C on a clean copy of Carbon using VltEd.

2. Install Ultimate Mod using Binary or Binarius.

3. Install Pursuit Challenges.

4. Optional: Install any other mods you want, or just leave it at that.

For those who want a challenge:

- Relentless Cops (Carbon) by JackJohnson

https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/2013

- Revamped Pursuits (Carbon) by Splash45

Part 2b: Adding the bytecodes [Attribulator + OGVI]

In order for things to function at all, let alone as intended,

you will need to manually add the blobs to their corresponding messagehandler nodes.

These are Lua scripts compiled into bytecode that the game can read.

As far as I'm aware, there is no 'import_bytecode or import_blob' commands for VltEd or Attribulator,

so once again, you will need to do this manually.

1. Within OGVI, go into gameplay > baseelement > messagehandler and double click on the following nodes:

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_countdown_handler_icecamerafinished

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_icecamerafinished

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateenter

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateenter_2

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateexit

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_raceover_handler_stateenter

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_icecamerafinished

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_milestone_display

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_milestone_fail_notifytimer

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_niscomplete

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_notifymilestoneprogress

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_perpbusted

wantedevent/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_perpescaped

2. within each node, go to bytecode and press "Import binary file"

3. Go into the BLOBS -> wantedevent folder and select the blob that matches the node name.

4. Either double click, or press "Open" on the blob that matches the node name.

5. Make sure you've done this step for all 13 nodes, and MAKE SURE the names of the blobs match the names of the messagehandler nodes.

6. Save changes and exit.

7. Enjoy :)

Optional: If you find the CTS tracker to be annoying, for the notifymilestoneprogress handler,

you can simply add the bytecode of the same name, but with the appended 'no_cts' on the end.

If you want a more lightweight notifymilestoneprogress handler, add the bytecode of the same name,

but with the appended 'lightweight' on the end.

It still has the milestone tracker, but doesn't have custom strings for each milestone type,

just a generic "MILESTONE ACHIEVED!^ Evade the Cops" string.

If You've installed an option with photo ticket events,

you will need repeat the process for the following 6 nodes:

These are located in the BLOBS -> wantedevent_phototicket folder.

wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_abandoned_handler_stateenter

wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_prerace_handler_stateenter

wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_speedtrap_fail_notifytimer

wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_stateenter

wantedevent_phototicket/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_triggerenter

wantedevent_phototicket_canyon/stategraph_basicrace_racing_handler_stateenter
