WHHOOOOHOOO bout time... from chris @ bizarre

DLC Pack 1: You want to know what's in it?
I'll keep this short and sweet. Here is the content:

New Cars

TVR Cerbera Speed 12 (DLC Verison) - Exactly the same as the retail version, only thing is you won't need all Platinums to get it. However, this model only comes in racing green so we can still tell who's beaten the game and who's downloaded their way to TVR heaven.

Ferrari 288 GTO - A fast, fast *fast* Ferrari. Absolute classic and still outperforms most sports cars these days.

BMW 645Ci - BMW's latest 6 series offering. It's big, but it's quick and has a very distinctive design.

Ferrari 365 GTS4 (Daytona) - Miami Vice. A 70's classic Ferrari. A definate for anyone who claims to know their Ferrari's.

Porsche 356A Carrera Speedster - The humble beginnings of the Boxster way back in the 50's.

Ferrari 250TR - Classic front engine Ferrari racer for the road. Another 50's offering, and amazingly quick considering it's age.

Chevrolet Corvette C6 - Brand new, straight from Chevrolet factories. Only announced 2 months ago, now available for you to drive, even before your car dealer gets to see one

BMW M3 CSL -The light-weight, lightning quick special M3. A track beast with a sensational engine and impeccable dynamics. This is one fun car.

New City

Yup, you guessed it. Paris .

From the Eiffel tower, to the Arc de Triomphe, you can now race through the streets of one of Europes oldest and incredibly beautiful cities. It's fast, it's pretty, but more importantly it's yours to hit with the fastest cars ever to hit the streets.

Release date is coming soon, this is what is holding this whole thing up. MS and ourselves are working on getting a solid date today . We'll let you know ASAP. There is definately more to come, this is the first drop in the ocean of this announcement as it were

Chris


the C6 corvette!!! cant wait to use it online smile.gif

Those cars are awesome!  I am excited about the C6 but im also excited about the M3.  How does that one drive? If its not too much of a pain could you take a few shots of the M3 like your C6 shots?

Thanks.  <

I paid for the download, but I was a bit upset that since I have 2 xboxes, I would have to pay for each download separately.

I have an unmodded Halo box, which I downloaded the content onto. I used a GSE to ftp in and there is new information under the E/tdata folder for PGR2. I tried to upload that to my modded box, but I get the same error message sad.gif

I don't mind paying for content, but not twice...

hey i noticed it has ini files for the cars same as on the disk. Sept its on the hd now . Does this mean people can cheat on live now? cause that would suck so bad i would never let anyone use the downloaded cars.

I havent bothered testing since i dont wana corrupt a download that just cost me 5 bucks lol and cheating is shit.

I Got the xbox live content for pgr2, the paris booster pack. I added the folders $c, $u, $y, to the tdata folder in my e directory on my xbox. as far as i can see, everything looks good. i went into the MS dashboard and ent into memory. I saw that it recognized that i have the downloaded content. But when i load the game, I dont seem to see the new maps and cars from paris. ive tried adding the files to the udata folder as well, but i dont think that is the correct way. the folder name is 4d53004b. any ideas ?

Yepp, anyone? Where to put $c $u $y..
Title: PGR 2 Download Content
Post by: SniperKilla on May 23, 2004, 03:12:00 PM
there are no places to put them as you have to grab the model and ini files out of them and integrate them like the other cars are in the actual game...


heres some basic instructions..

for the cars.. you only need $u

go to your pgr2 dir on your xbox.. then go to Cache/Cars

send over

dcontentcar1.pak_hrd
dcontentcar3.pak_hrd
dcontentcar4.pak_opn
dcontentcar5.pak_opn
dcontentcar5.pak_sft
dcontentcar6.pak_opn
dcontentcar6.pak_sft
dcontentcar7.pak_hrd
dcontentcar9.pak_hrd
dcontentcar13.pak_hrd

then go to the CarDynamics dir in the root of the pgr2 dir.. and send over all the
dcontentcar ini files..

then go to data/audio and send over all the
.dat
.xwb
in the folder, theres 5 per car and a turbo2 at the bottom..

now we need to do some ini file editing..

open Cars.ini from $u.. and Select all text in it.. and copy it to your clipboard..
then open Cars.ini from the FrontEnd folder on PGR2 and paste all of that at the TOP of the file.. then save and reupload..

then oper CarColours.ini from the $u dir.. copy all text again.. open CarColours.ini from the FrontEnd dir and paste it all at the TOP/Bottom (dosent matter where.. Cars.ini was pickey about where they were tho) save and upload

then open Classes.ini from the FrontEnd folder and at the bottom of the file.. paste this
[CLASS]
Name = "Paris Cars"
ID = 1014

then save and reupload..

clear your xbox cache partitions (X Y Z) if youve played pgr2 lately.. and then fire it up and enjoy...

Title: PGR 2 Download Content
Post by: SniperKilla on May 23, 2004, 04:24:00 PM
no as i said MANY times before you CANNOT use these like downloadable content.. you MUST buy them.. and their well worth it..

these are only for use OFFLINE in showroom/timeattack shit.. if you want to add them to different classes to use in Kudos Challenge you can also do that by editing the
Class =
line in the cars.ini

Sorry to cut into the hacking discussion, but people are choosing to ignore the warns in this thread, and continue to ask.

Do not ask where to find such files. If anyone chooses to ask for the files again, there will be consequences.

As u did with the cars:

Copy Cities.Ini from xbox til pc (/Frontend/)

Select all in Cities.ini that came along with content download (/$c/4d53004b/) and paste it into the one u just copied from your xbox to the pc. Save, and upload the file back.

Do the same with Routes.Ini (/Frontend/)

And the same with stereo.ini in (/data/audio/)

Yes it is, but only if the people you play with over xlink has installed the same pack.

If u join a game using download content without the other players having them, they will only see your car (or if your hosting also track) as downloaded content, and when the race starts u'll be left in game menu.

has anyone worked out how to make the paris sky work yet and hence the paris tracks. all the cars work but i cant get them paris tracks to work yet.
i know i cant play with these cars on live, but if i ever decide i want to will i have to delete them then download the real ones from M$. im scared i will be banned for having "illegitamate" versions of them on my box.

ummm why...

the pgr2 with the added cars would be on your harddrive.. and when you download/play on live youd be playing off the disc therefore they would be seperate

how in the world do I install this SK-PGR2-DLC1-8Cars pack??

It has an audio folder that my game does not have..  please someone let me know what to do with this audio folder..

Man, thats already posted. U should read the whole shit instead of asking for this.

QUOTE
there are no places to put them as you have to grab the model and ini files out of them and integrate them like the other cars are in the actual game...


heres some basic instructions..

for the cars.. you only need $u

go to your pgr2 dir on your xbox.. then go to Cache/Cars

send over

dcontentcar1.pak_hrd
dcontentcar3.pak_hrd
dcontentcar4.pak_opn
dcontentcar5.pak_opn
dcontentcar5.pak_sft
dcontentcar6.pak_opn
dcontentcar6.pak_sft
dcontentcar7.pak_hrd
dcontentcar9.pak_hrd
dcontentcar13.pak_hrd

then go to the CarDynamics dir in the root of the pgr2 dir.. and send over all the
dcontentcar ini files..

then go to data/audio and send over all the
.dat
.xwb
in the folder, theres 5 per car and a turbo2 at the bottom..

now we need to do some ini file editing..

open Cars.ini from $u.. and Select all text in it.. and copy it to your clipboard..
then open Cars.ini from the FrontEnd folder on PGR2 and paste all of that at the TOP of the file.. then save and reupload..

then oper CarColours.ini from the $u dir.. copy all text again.. open CarColours.ini from the FrontEnd dir and paste it all at the TOP/Bottom (dosent matter where.. Cars.ini was pickey about where they were tho) save and upload

then open Classes.ini from the FrontEnd folder and at the bottom of the file.. paste this
[CLASS]
Name = "Paris Cars"
ID = 1014

then save and reupload..

clear your xbox cache partitions (X Y Z) if youve played pgr2 lately.. and then fire it up and enjoy...

Not cars related, but live download related so heh...

I saw on GameFAQs forums that there is a trick you can do which will confuse the computer car.  It will crash into a barricade and then it will get stuck and as long as it does not get un-stuck, you will get thousands of kudos points.  There is supposed to be a ghost video of this getting done on Live.  Has anyone seen it?  If they have then could you please upload the video somewhere?

True. It will never get on oxm disc.

Two reasons:

1. Cost 4.99$ for Live users.
2. Promise from MS to all Live users that this content is exclusive only for Live users.

Did you use your Kudos to unlock them tongue.gif
Title: PGR 2 Download Content
Post by: Ichijoe on July 08, 2004, 06:31:00 AM
Dude you need to either

1) Read this eintire thread on how to 'Buy' the Cars
Not sure anymore how exactly, but either by Hex editing the
Car related File or in it's .ini File.

                               OR...

2) Find a Distro (also listed in this Thread!), that actualy
works!

In either case there IS A WALKTHOUGH!! (about half way into the thread).
On how to install this to a HDD Backup it's not hard if you can read and follow
simple directions.

-> Insert edit here: Opps sorry I missed the  smilely laugh.gif
Didn't mean to go on a pointless trirade there.

To give you a sort answer to your question. NO! you do not need to unlock these
'Cars' with Kudos Tokens they are yours. Includeing the Green TVR Speed 12.
I do belive you need to unlock the Class stage to race - drive them in One Player modus though. However you can play them on XLink or your faveriote Tunneling App.

As for Paris forget it I don't think there are too many People
concerned with it besides. Isn't it just enough to have the Cars?

Yes I'd like to have the Paris Tracks too. But, untill someone
cracks the way M$ signs off XBL! DLC code uesing your private EEPROM
with all those cool 20bit & 16bit Key's that go into makeing your EEPROM.
I don't think we can expect to much here...

Post by: clown88 on July 08, 2004, 03:11:00 PM
Ah now I remember. (I think)
Go into the cars.ini and remove the "Bonus Car = 1" value that should do it.

I had to do that a few days ago to unlock my modded Porsche GT1.
(I made a "Custom Cars" menu and have been duplicating cars that I am modding so the originals stay intact)

But you will have to cough some kudos.... or you can just edit the cars.ini and get them for free wink.gif

To read with xbox .ini files ?

Yes you can, if you have a dvd burner.

Copy the game to the pc, and put the files from the pack in the correct places in the folders of the game. Burn it on dvd and play. Remember that not all the files from the pack should be used, not the xbx and xbe's, however, the files that are required are mentiond erlyer in this thread.

If you are refeering the the Speed 12 Live, that comes with the content download pack nr. 1, that Speed 12 is much slower that the Speed 12 in the utlimate cars.

I follow your instructions for the cars with all the ones i have in my files (Paris and Long beach) but it crashed at the loading screen.
I tried without Paris cars after, but it still crashing at the loading screen when the game starts. sad.gif
Is it easier to add cars one by one in some categories like it seems you did with the pics of the C6?

If the the game hangs when you pick the cars you have installed them wrong.

Post by: DOS4GW on August 15, 2004, 05:33:00 AM
You might have downloaded an inifile were the paris cars were added. If you can see the cars in the menu but not in the showroom the this is the problem.

If it hangs after into you either installed the new default.xbe file that came along with the pack, installed the files in wrong dirs, totally messed up some inis, or deleeted some files.

Offcorse you have to download it, its addons. But you can write what ever you like in the inis.

However if you downloaded the of the Long Beach packs shared it contains both Paris and Long Beach cars.

Could i go on xbox live or it will see in my saved games that something is hacked?
And if i have both, the hacked pack on my HDD, and the download content from live , will i be able to go live?
Beside my profile and score, what will be saved in my saved game? If i changed cameras settings, add a car, change colors will xbox live see it?
thx

No, it has nothing to do with your save game. You save game only containg the info on the player, the amount to points, wich cars is purchased, and wich tracks are unlocked.

The pack with one fast bonus car has both paris and long beach tracks included.

Nothing is hacked?!? If its cracked you are talking about, nothing is cracked either. The changes are just in the inis, wich is plain text. The carfiles wich aren't inis is just loaded when trigged right in the inis.

Camerasettings are in another ini, again not savegame.

Live wont see anything, you will see the changes you make.

The camera is placed in a grid, its not dynamic. If you cange it so it suits the speed12 better, it will not be useable in most of the other cars. The view as it is now, is suited to fit the majoroty of cars. If you still want to change it, edit the y and z ratios.

I started last week to Mod my PGR2 after failing last year and year before. I have Downloaded (Several, some bad or incomplete ) of the Booster packs and have written long Beach Tracks and Cars Intergrated Into the game ( not TDATA Method )  Perfectly ( Kudos Challenge also ). I also tried the same method with the Paris Pack the Tracks show fine the cars work perfectly but can only use the Cars as the tracks seem to still suffer the "Pink sky rendering problem" then crashes. I have read somewhere that the Default xbe that comes with the Paris pack has a render fix included, yet if used unmodded it reports bad save file etc. I have now only just started to hex the xbe to remove downloader checks n stuff but it will take time. I notice The posts above that one user has the Paris Tracks working.  Could the person perhaps tell me
 
1 . If its a xbox live paid account download on their machine or not. ?
2 . Did you use the Paris xbe or the existing PGR2 Default.xbe ?
3.  If the Paris xbe, did it need modding ?
4.  If its the Original xbe then do i have a bad Paris Pack ?
5.  Are the xbe's region dependant with the packs

ie  - UK Paris download + US Long Beach download then trying to use either with Pal or NTSC game?

Any help is totally appreciated
