Binary

Binary is a powerful tool for editing binary files (.BIN, .BUN, .LZC) in games of the Need for Speed series.

The program allows you to modify:

• Global files (GlobalA/B)
• Interface and in-game resource files (FrontA/B, InGameA/B)
• Textures (Textures.bin)
• Mini-maps (MiniMapX.bin)
• Vinyls (Vinyls.bin) and textures in NIS scenes

The program has two modes:

1. User — the simplest way to install mods via special scripts (.end).
2. Modder — an advanced editor with a user interface for creating your own modifications (previously password-protected, now freely available).

Important: The tool is NOT intended for working with Vlt files (attributes), sounds, geometry (models), and video.

How to install:

System requirements:

1. Be sure to install .NET Core Desktop Runtime 3.1 (x86) or higher. Important: you specifically need the x86 version, even if you have 64-bit Windows!
2. If LZCompressLib errors occur at startup, install VC Redist (x86) 2015+.

Instructions for installing mods (.end scripts):

1. Extract the archive with the program to any folder.
2. Run "Binary.exe" as administrator.
3. Click the large red icon on the left (with the image of three little people).
4. Select the main mod installation file with the .end extension.
5. Specify the path to the game's root folder.
6. After the script completes, confirm saving the changes (Save).
7. Done, you can launch the game.
