NFSMW Zonda F [addon]

2005 Pagani Zonda F

Base mesh by Juice Games from Juiced 2: HIN; additional meshes and textures from GRID, Rivals, HP2010, ProStreet, Shift 2, Forza 4, Assetto Corsa, Heat; few scratch-made bits/textures.
Addon version of a modloader release from February 2014.
Replaces nothing, XNAME is J2ZONDA.

Features:
- stock kit: paintable filler
- kit 1/2 - racing skin from Shift 2
- kit 3 - JP Laurent's Zonda skin from ProStreet
- kit 4 - replica of Seacrest County's Zonda Cinque from HP2010 with cop LP640 colour scheme
- kit 5 - Tricolore skin
- custom tires, brakes, CF, headlights and brakelights
- detailed engine, exhaust, struts and other internals
- changeable aftermarket rims
- changeable window tints
- good stock performance; 6-speed transmission, 352km/h top speed, fast off the mark, bit drifty on lower speeds, overall balanced supercar
- faster maxxed performance; 7-speed transmission for balance reasons, ~406km/h top speed, more torque, grippy, better handling; still nicely balanced and an enjoyable drive
- costs 220 000 and is unlocked after beating JV, blacklist driver #4

As this is an addon rather than a replacement, you'll need a couple tools:
- MW Unlimiter
- Binary v2
- NFS VLTEd

Once you have those, download the archive, unpack it anywhere and follow the instructions below:
- launch Binary [make sure you also installed its dependencies], click on User Mode [the left-hand side icon], select "binary_setup.end" inside "ZONDAF_ADDON/main", choose "Install" from the dropdown menu, point to Most Wanted's main install directory, choose the correct vinyl resolution, wait for Binary to install the car, press "Yes" when asked to save changes, but don't run the game just yet
- close Binary, launch VLTEd -> "File" -> "Open" -> nagivate to where Most Wanted is installed; afterwards "File" -> "Import" -> "Modscript", browse to "ZONDAF_ADDON" -> "main" and select "vlt_setup.nfsms", select "Install VLT data", click Install, and VLTEd will apply the script; once done, press Ctrl+S to save the changes

After that's all done, you're advised to create a new savegame but you're free to try the save patching method described below:

Scroll to the end of the tutorial and look at section "Optional 2: patching save to use addon cars".

To uninstall the car:
- re-run binary as instructed above and choose "Uninstall" from the dropdown menu instead
- launch VLTEd, reimport "vlt_setup.nfsms" and choose "Remove VLT data"

___________________________________________
12/09/2020 update:
- updated the car to use Binary v2 as the primary installation method; don't use Ed The Car Dealer and don't try to install the mod manually
- changed grille texture to a better looking custom one
- made slight adjustments to headlight meshes
- created additional internals
- replaced default carbon fibre sheet with a custom one; this revealed tonnes of issues with existing mapping, most of which were fixed or at the very least mitigated; some inconsistencies remain, but hopefully they're barely noticeable
___________________________________________
25/11/2020 update:
- updated master script with code that checks whether a frontend TPKBlock was renamed by Texed and reverts its original name if required; this will prevent frontend logos from failing to install
___________________________________________
11/08/2021 update:
- removed mipmaps from all textures
- updated binary/vlted setups with uninstall options
- changed VerbalType to one that will always make cops say "pagani", rather than 90% pagani and 10% volkswagen

1) launch binary modder side, make a new launcher for MW, the paste the following lines in the script box:

remove_collection GLOBAL\GLOBALB.LZC CarTypeInfos J2ZONDA
remove_collection GLOBAL\GLOBALB.LZC Collisions J2ZONDA
remove_collection GLOBAL\GLOBALB.LZC DBModelParts J2ZONDA

press F9 to run the script, press ctrl+S once it's done

nah, that description is from years ago, it means said parts were sourced elsewhere and are generally of higher quality. the entire car is a mish-mash of 10+ different models
