Playable traffic cars

This mod allows you to play with any traffic car as a racer in the PlayStation 2 release of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. As a bonus, a few cars have unused skins, which are enabled with this mod.
Once you install it, you should be able to play with 15 extra vehicles as a racer!

Changelog:
• v1.4.1:
- No changes made to the base mod;
- Included a bonus mod for the Alpha 0.98 build;
-- Using traffic cars in Alpha 0.98 may crash your game!

• v1.4.0:
- NFS Edition cars now have a chance to appear in races as opponents;

• v1.3.0:
- Every cop car has both skins (from PAL and NTSC) selectable;
- Point-to-Point tracks can be selected in "You're The Cop" mode;
-- In "You're The Cop", entering the car selection from the Setup menu actually causes the game to go to the "Single Race" game mode instead of "You're The Cop" mode. It is due to the way the game was hacked in order to let the player play the Point-to-Point tracks in "You're The Cop" mode;
- Unused traffic cars are going to appear during a few races:
-- AMBULANCE: Spawn in tracks which take place in the Tropical course;
-- BUS: Spawn in tracks which take place in the Alpine and Mediterranean courses;
-- FIRETRUCK: Spawn in tracks which take place in the Woodland course;

Eveytime I said FDM, I mentioned Free Download Manager. Not something else like Frequency-Division Multiplexing.

And also FDM is safe.

I apologize for all the comments I wrote, all the download links I posted are safe and most of all: the games I have listed are PlayStation 2 games not cracked and full of viruses PC games. I am a Windows 11 (but I'll upgrade my operative system when new versions comes out) emulation gamer and Windows Defender never detected a virus and has never been disabled by emulation games, regedit and task manager are still working etc. One last thing: I use FDM as well for emulation games.

Sorry I tested them again, Free Download Manager is still faster in downloading.

ANOTHER UPDATE: I tested some games within "Myrient" written. The downloading speed is very high even without Free Download Manager, so it's recommended to forget about FDM and download the game within the original method (left click).
