FOJ's Community Mod Buglist

[Heddly]

Your right, I got two errors trying to unpack rar file for trackpack.

A corruption error and a "Unexpected end of archive" error.

Thank for the heads up on this problem.

We been having bad luck of late uploading these big rar files without errors. Grrrrrr

Maybe a different compression program like 7 Zip or WinZip would be a solution?

I've already emailed Scott from moddb wether we reupload or they can grab the good download from filefront. I'm awaiting a response.

I don't wish to upload in another format as we wish to make the next upload the installer.

[GulBroz]

Yep, not good idea to change format now 

Installer almost finished, trying to fix some UI bugs...

  Cool

The foj community mod trackpack part2 of 3 download on moddb.com from moddb server#1 is now working. Thanks Scott.

Thanks to Peter on the empire interactive forums, bug #1 looks to be squashed. Will need to retest everything in mod to make sure all is fine.

hi I just installed flatout joints mod for flatout2 but i can't seem to get all the addon cars in Derby,race,street and also grandfinals and yes i enterd the cheat to give me all cars and tracks. all i get for cars in thows cadigorys are a bit of derby bit of race and a bit of street and a bit of the addon cars i can get all the cars in single race but thats all....

is there some way of fixing this

[Purple44]

I just check out Career mode in the Community Mod and if you go to the Streets cars and arrow key down one row, you will see the carpack 1 cars in the second row of cars.

I have two bugs (but maybe I just did something wrong).
1) Many of the custom cars in one carpack (the one with the GoKart and Concrete mixer) show up as... well... a nothing on wheels in the shape of a small car.
2) After doing about 15 races with the mod, something suddenly went wrong: the cars now can't get past 1st gear and can't go backwards.

[Shadow]

Yep something is very wrong with install or patch file.
-What flatout2 version are you, cd's/dvd or steam ?
-did you install the 1.2 patch?

Can you post a screenshot of flatout2 game folder, with extensions showing like .bfs. Also can you as well open up the filesystem and patch file with wordpad and get a screenshot of it. Then include with your post by clicking additional options ,browse to pics and your done.

For the foj community mod with latest part 4 (carpack2) patch file should look like this:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs

[KsbjA]

It's the disc version. And the game is patched. Here are the contents of the filesystem file:

fo2a.bfs
fo2b.bfs
fo2c.bfs

And the patch file:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Overrite.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs
DD-pack-final.bfs

The directory is shown in this pic.

[Purple44]

That not the "patch" file that came with Carpack 2.

And the order of the files is wrong to. Here how your "patch" file should look when loading the carpack 2 cars:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs

The FOJs_Community_Mod_Overrite.bfs file is not needed any more since it been change and included in FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs file.

Also if you want to skip the movies in Flatout 2, you can delete fo2b.bfs from your "filesystem" file.

fo2a.bfs
fo2c.bfs

I attach a filesystem file and patch file you can use. I just tested these two files on my game and they work.

[KsbjA]

Thanks Purple44! I'll check it out. And I forgot to say that I got rid of the speed-bug. I set manual transmission, restarted Flatout 2, set back to automatic transition and it works. Maybe a restart could have been enough Oh and where can I add the DD-Pack_Final.bfs file? It's the custom derby arenas, if you're wondering what the hail it is. Anyway, thanks again!

[Purple44]

Add  DD-pack-final.bfs to the end of Carpack 2 "patch" file:

patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs
DD-pack-final.bfs

The DD pack rar come with batch files you can use to swap "patch" files to DD pack or Community Mod with Carpack 2 or stock v1.2.

[Shadow]

Just ensure your main foj community patch file looks like purple stated :
patch1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Trackpack1.bfs
FOJs_Community_Mod_Carpack1.bfs
FOJs_Carpack2_and_updates.bfs

You had "FOJs_Community_Mod.bfs" listed 3rd, so the carpack1 cars were overritten with the standard ghost cars of mod.

Then if used, purple's "DD-pack-final.bfs" gets listed under FOJs_carpack2_and_updates.bfs
