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;
- Fixed BUS behavior: It will no longer flip easily when being driven by the player and it won't fly away when spawning as a traffic vehicle;

• v1.2.0:
- Added a few unused skins to be selectable in game: BMW M5 (E39), BMW Z8 (E52), Jaguar XKR Coupe, Ferrari 360 Spider, Ferrari 360 Modena;
- Added two extra .xdelta files which also replaces the standard BMW M5 (E39) and BMW Z8 (E52) with their cut "NFS-Edition";

• v1.1.0:
- Fixed a crash that would occur after finishing an event in a traffic car;
-- Be aware that this fix actually disable the car model deformation when damaged;
- Adjusted several traffic cars cameras: AMBULANCE, BUS, FIRETRUCK, MINIVAN, PANELVAN, PARCELVAN, SUV;
- Added gauges textures for close and far cameras;

First of all Merry Christmas to everyone. For Vannar195 (below me) to play PS2 games on PC you need a Gaming Computer and the PCSX2 emulator. And for 379Felipe can you fix all the issues mentioned by the users below me and first of all please make the mod available also for Australian 2.00 version of the game? That'd be awesome, if you don't know what version I'm talking about go to redump.org in the Sony PlayStation 2 section and click N and look for the game. Sorry the long message.

@VaibhavNFS
I have the same problem, and also the cars don't deform anymore (everythingelse like breaking glasses & losing parts works)
I reckon it's because the mod has tampered with the damage model so it doesn't work properly.

Hey, i have installed this mod, and i found a problem, that the cars no longer smoke when damaged, whether mine or AI racers or AI cops :-(

This applies to every car in the game. I have installed the USA + NFS edition one. I have the USA version of the game.
