NFSHS CARP Generator
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 (.xltx) or the OpenDocument version (.ots)
-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
-Since the files are in template formats you can save your CARP setups separately.

Looks like a very helpfull tool. Gonna call a shockabsorber factory and ask for the road bumpiness factor![;)](https://nfsaddons.com/inc/images/emojis/wink.png)
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:](https://nfsaddons.com/inc/images/emojis/hmm.png)
Can you save it to some other format, or... I don't know...
Thanks AJ_Lethal!![:thumbsup:](https://nfsaddons.com/inc/images/emojis/thumbsup.png)
It seems to work now.
It may be cool to mimic the High Stakes theme, but please get back the previous theme or include both.
When I open it, with the latest Excel, it don't look like the screenshot at all. It is a mess of white and dark theme, with hard to read black text on very dark blue background (for example). ![:cry:](https://nfsaddons.com/inc/images/emojis/cry.png)
