Nope, the music in the PC version is exactly the same as the Xbox version (and is the highest possible quality). The only higher quality songs known currently are Jeff Tymoschuk's demo tracks (which I also have a mod for) but unfortunately there are only 3 of them.

That's an issue with a pirated copy of the game that is very broken and (for some reason) very common. I can't really help you any more than just telling you to buy the game on eBay or Amazon.

this is one of the best mods ive played in any game ever, amazing work

No file called h_jbox_m.p3d exists in the vanilla game, and this mod shouldn't try and access it at any point. To me, that sounds like an issue either with another mod you have enabled, or your game install. You can try disabling any other mods you have or running the Install Verifier to make sure if your game install is fine.

Retexture give me road rage vibez, last screenshot has wrong link btw

Went ahead and fixed that a whole day later. Apologies about that! Not sure how I initially overlooked it while previewing the thread, but I assure you it isn't too much to look at. Probably a poor screenshot choice since the house still needs to be finished up, but pretty much all of Level 1 is in the bag.

The reason it probably gives you Road Rage vibes is due to several of the textures originating from the Road Rage E3 prototype, prior to art style direction shift. I wanted a more cartoony vibe for the first Level and initially started out using textures from Taz: Wanted as a base, but it looked extremely poopy and smelly so it was junked almost immediately. Tappie ended up suggesting a much better reference point that I fell in love with instantly, so I began crafting textures that matched the prototype's style. Really glad to see so many people like how this Level is turning out!

The mod also has some small nice quality of life features I neglected to mention in the original post that were achieved using Additional Script Functionality:


Checkpoints are now a thing in every main story mission and Bonus Mission, complete with some .pag modifications to indicate when you've reached one! Nifty. Don't expect them to pull you out of a jam in a Street Race Challenge though. Those are short enough that you can do without them. You can probably use these checkpoints and some clever resetting to clear missions a wee bit quicker, but who's timing you?...Oh. That's right. The game.


Payouts for every mission! Story Missions now pay out 200 Coins for completing them, with 150 for the Street Races and Bonus Missions. If you find yourself low on funds to buy a new ride later down the line, and exploring the Level doesn't interest you, you can return to missions to grind out some coins. Go ahead and replay the missions you liked with your own self-imposed challenges, such as using the Terrible Truck to complete them. Every mission in Level 1 has been tested to be beatable with it, but best of luck. A truck with the stats of the Monorail will test your driving skills.

Prices will likely start out pretty fair and will only really require that you beat all the Story Missions in that Level to afford everything, but later on you're going to have to do some exploring and try out the other missions in order to get more coins. If that doesn't float your boat though or you get caught up in one too many Hit & Runs, you can always go back to these guys. No more Wager Race grinding. Huzzah!
