yep and i wish guns were never made so no one would die either..
Post by: ThaCrip on August 04, 2007, 10:15:00 PM
but main reason im against tools like this being released is it's gonna have mass ammount of cheating which i cant stand cheaters myself as it ruins it for everyone else thats "online".
all in all though i aint going to use crap like this myself as it's rather pointless since i take playing forza/forza2 pretty seriously since it's (Forza2) is (so far) the only reason i shelled out the cash for the xbox360 system.... so cheating for me is out of the question.. i like to earn my way to good lap times etc.

you can cheat on forza 2 by doing a race, but let the CPU do the race for you, and you will get first place every time. Great way to earn your points, Just let it run over night every night and you will score some major deals

what you can do is after you edit your cars save the game with a car thats not edited as your primary garage car or the one that is selected to drive that way your saves wont be screwed cuz when u reload it that car wont be modified so you'll be fine 
have fun with this mod 
QUOTE(mwbuck @ Aug 5 2007, 04:22 PM)
is there a tutorial somewhere for this? readme is kinda vague.
The application is very simple and easy to use,all you do is load cars.ca2 then edit it how u want after every edit click the save button but do not make a new ca2 as yet,then after you have completed all your mods then you click the create a modded ca2 button then u load it onto your xbox and your set to go
hope this helps you.

I open up cars.ca2 and edit the tire diameter for stock level 0 from 17 to 22. I click the save button. Then I click the created modded ca2 button. Then I take default and patch it. I rename patchdefaul to default.xbe and transfer it over to my Forza folder on my xbox overwriting my old default. Then I transfer modcars over to that same folder. Than I reboot my xbox and load it. But everything is still the same.

No you have got it all wrong edit level 3 parts not level 0 or else you might screw up your save that way so just edit level 3 parts and try that same rim size thing and see if it works it should work for you now

That message shows if you patch an xbe and then try to patch it again.
Other possibilities are:
*The xbe is different to the ones I used for testing due to the game being from a different region/the game having different versions.
*Xbe is corrupted.
Don't know if that helps.

-Tried on other cars and engines, nothing saves
-Attempted to edit Engines>mazda_rx7>physics>base.xml and made the gastank size from 20 to 40. Wont save. I can't get anything to save, regardless of car and engine.
This is what i do:
-open the program
-load a fresh Cars.ca2
-edit somthing then click "save edit", then create the modded .ca2 file, still no changes. I'm telling you this program does not save anything. What am I doing wrong?

Each time you click an xml/ini to edit, it gets loaded/reloaded from the cab, therfor it will not re-show you any changes that have been made.
Solution:
* Load/re-load the modcars.ca2 to see the changes.
By the way, it's not a bug, I was just too lazy to write the code to load info in from modded xml's/ini's.

Yes it is you doing something wrong nobody else has a problem except you which means you are doing something wrong just leave the gas tank size and edit something else, and if you still have problems as i told someone before try loading the game without modcars.ca2 and see what happens if the game freezes then the patch works and you just need to do it right and if you still have problems you can either PM me or ekszbox and we will see what we can do about it

Which brings me to this point. My car goes 0-60 in 2.2 seconds and 60MPH is in 2nd. I got 9.9 accel out of my car and milked some speed off the engine. How do I get my speed a bit faster. I dont want to mess with the cars aerodynamic properties and some of this stuff i have no idea what it is. The cool thing is that I got my Toms T020 MR2 to rev to 9000 rpm and there is no redline!
So what are you guys doing to make your car go 500MPH!

you can also edit some of the values in the turbo settings, gotts set the max torque higher if you do that though stock cant really handle 10000 hp lol
on and on my car that did 710+ i didnt adjust the final drive, i just edited the trans mission and you can have 7 gears that kinda helps too
(i say 710+ because it was still accelerating when i hit a small bumb in the road)

Actually i said sounds crappy. I like it, few bugs though, but nice layout. I was able to make my supra run the quarter even faster. 3.828 at 500mph. 212,000 hp, 228,000 torque, 28,000 psi of boost. BALLS, thanks to this nice little program... packs really fast!
plus did i metion the weight? 26,000 lbs, 75% to the front.Lets have a challenge... fastest quarter times without backing up in reverse. Backing up I can run 2.2 easily....

The issue here was the wrong xbe being loaded into the patcher (A launcher/CDX xbe in this case).
Note: Ppl who have the same problem should check the xbe filesize, it should be: 6008832 bytes.
An xbe filesize check has been added to ForzaPatch to deal with scenarios such as this one (Available with next version of ForzaMod).

A few caveats releated to releasing the ForzaMod source code:
* Source will only compile using C++Builder 2006 a.k.a. Borland Developer Studio 2006.
* I can not include my custom made vcl components (progressbar/buttons), which means you'd have to make do with standard buttons & progressbar or code nicer ones yourself.
If you are still interested in the source let me know & i'll look into including it in the next version.

No idea what the long int at the beginning of the file is, but it is the same for every track i believe.

Seems like a good idea but how long will it take you to get all that code together and working because custom rims would be nice i was thinking of that idea but im not that good yet still learning, but if you could get this project workin really soon that would be good

Hopefully ecksbox can help me put it into the GUI. The biggest problem is resolutions once again. The images have to be extracted from the xpr's. The first version will be quite limited. But rims and menus will definitely be included. As far as driver textures and other complex textures may not be included.
