It's in my TODO list.

Thanks a lot for your tool as Im decompressing now... can I rip car models out of this game?
Earlier I tried DX ripper (OBJ. too) but it only saves the wheels and 3DVIA Printscreen crashes the game on startup.... but Ive yet to try that gameassassin ripper.

No idea here. Maybe you should ask in the "3D/2D models" subforums.

For me Ridge racer looks similar to Burnout but with mods it will be even more better

We are still kicking at Flatout Joint, at least for the time being. Came close to closing doors back in 2010.

I had high hopes for RRU, especially the advance track editor. But RRU being a console port, no wheel support, no remapping, no text chat online, online having major issues, I'm afraid RRU may have a short life like Blur.

Been a disappointing year so far. Flatout 3 release as a beta and publisher Strategy First screwing over Team6 and the Flatout community. Bugbear releasing Ridge Racer Unbounded as a console port and Dirt Showdown only having 8 players online, when you really need 10-12 players to have a good, rip roaring derby figure 8 race, like we use to have with GRID.

Good luck modding RRU and maybe some the modders from FOJ may stop by. But right now, most of us at FOJ have taken a pass on RRU for now.

Is there any progress in packer coding, or surrended it?

Sorry, I'm quite busy lately and don't have much free time for Unpakke.

Fun fact: Running the game uncompressed seems to make the track editor able to load your tracks again.

...or is it just me.

And pretty much every scripts are in .xml format, which means it should be modifiable (the cars should be moddable as well, but the car body mesh is in .vhcl format, and the texture is in .bmap).

"Sorry, I'm quite busy lately and don't have much free time for Unpakke."

I'm feeling sad to read that - I was hope you could make some handy script to packer algorythm to help us in localization.
Ridge Racer Unbound doesnt read any localized string from unpakked sources ...
I hope someone gonna help us.

Best wishes!

Hi all

@XpoZed: congratulations for your work on unpacking RRU, that's really great stuff.

As you said you do not have time to work on the packer part, maybe you can PM me your findings on RRU (especially the cypher part), and I'll upgrade BFSpack tool (I already enhanced it for FlatOut2 since Karok released the 1st version, and added support for FlaOut:UltimateCarnage).

I'm not asking this just to have the code, I'll do something of it (of course I could disassemble RRU binary and redo what you've done, but I do not have enough free time for this - and I'm not very comfortable with x86 assembler too , so it will take me a lot of time).

More over, I think that cypher algo is maybe the key to something we all dream of at flatoutjoint.com: the way to fully decode FlatOut2 files and be able to have a fully working track editor, with the ability to create tracks from scratch. (but that is secondary/bonus objective, the 1st one is to add support for RRU in BFSpack).

Hope you'll hear me.

It would be soooo great thing!

I tried to make traffic spawn on city streets, but sadly, no luck.(created all the correct folders and .xmls, added.xmls to database.cfg or w/e it's called, got nothing.)
I did only change how fast the traffic would go, otherwise the data is the same as the .xml for the highway traffic...probably something else that needs to be changed.
