Unpack game resources (Midnight Club 2)

What is game resources
The game is set in a separate folder. Except game.exe publish files and folders, which can be quite severe.
After you install Midnight Club II in the game folder should be the following folders: audio, city, texture_x, userdata and video. Audio contains drivers for the system game sounds. In the folder are city files cities, they designate objects, weather, and some game points needed for each city. Texture_x contains some textures of the game (the textures are pictures that stretch on the 3d model). The userdata folder stores saved games and racing, You created in the editor race. Video is the folder with bik files, i.e. video in bik format. This format is intended for video game. It is not possible through the ordinary players, if they have no special codecs. To view them you can use [[http://vkontakte.ru/away.php?to=http://www.softforfree.com/programs/bikplayer-12141.html/bikplayer]].


dat files
However, all these files and folders is better not to touch in order to avoid glitches and instability of our game. You can make a backup, then experiment with them...
...but to experiment with them, I do not advise. Indeed, more than half of the resources Packed in the dat files! In the game folder there are two files: streams_pc.dat and assets_p.dat. The first contains all the game sounds and music. In the second all the races, images, models, features, cities, etc.
You have question: how to open these zipped resources?
They need to unpack. For this you have to download the program [http://vkontakte.ru/away.php?to=http://game-editing.net.ru/soft/arch/iripper1.9.zip/iRipper]
unpack assets_p... from the assets folder you that appears after unpacking cut all files and paste into the root directory of the game. so in the folder midnight club2 games were all the folders from the unpacked assets folder. after which empty the assets folder can be removed together with assets_p.dat file. further patches mc2.exe using noarchive. check the start of the game and the start of the race. if I load a race the game crashes I put Vista patch.
everything should work perfectly

remember that all the contents of the assets folder after unpacking assets_p.dat need to move to the root directory of the game.


Unpacking
After installing iRipper'a open it, then press Ctrl+O, go to the game folder, open assets_p.dat. After that, extract all the files in the game folder. If you want You the same way I can unpack the music.
