CLI car.viv editor for NFS4:HS

A command line utility for editing car data in Need for Speed 4: High Stakes (NFS 4: HS).

This specialized utility provides a convenient way to view, modify, and save the internal text data stored in car configuration files (car.viv).

I originally made it while testing support for more than 49 cars in the game.

I needed a quick way to check for duplicate serial numbers, see which cars the game should recognize, and view their names.

Key features:

  • CLI interface
  • Update fedata for all languages at once
  • Quickly scan the CARS folder for duplicate serial numbers
  • Quickly edit fedata
  • Export and import data in JSON format

The utility is still under development. If you find any problems or bugs, please report them in the comments.

Simple example:

nfs4viv fedata set .\DATA\CARS\BZ3R2\CAR.VIV --lang all car_id BZ32 serial 7 car_name "BMV Z3 II"
