Uncensored & Restored Soundtrack
Description
Current version: 1.01
Release date: April 6th, 2022
Hello there. Thanks for downloading my mod!
With this mod, every single song in the game will be their full, unedited and/or uncensored versions. It always bothered me how some of them get cut off so suddenly, especially the rap and hip-hop ones. As a bonus, some of them are straight from the newly remastered releases, such as Rise Against and The Bronx. All songs were sourced from 320kbps .mp3 files for max quality.
Changelog
- 1.00: First release
- 1.01: Hotfix for "Cirrus - Back On A Mission" where it had nearly 3 minutes of silence after the song ended.
Installation
- Download the .7z archive and extract it into your game's directory. If you can't open .7z archives, simply download the program, it's free.
- You'll see 2 folders, pfdata and speech. Again make sure they are in the root of the game's install folder.
- Now, rename or move your SDATA folder somewhere else.
That's it. Now go check in-game, you'll notice Riders On The Storm will take a bit longer to start but that's just how the official remastered version Snoop Dogg's compilation album has it.
Please report any issues regarding volume, perhaps crackling, or songs that don't skip. Personally I do have some minor crackling in Capone - I Need Speed but only when using my speakers (I'm on a 32" TV) but the crackling is gone once I use my headphones. If you also find the same issue, again, please report.

Thank everyone who commented and sorry for my abscence. A lot has happened. I will try to make a version of this with the cutscenes in Spanish, as per request of ATK116.KiroteHikari, yep I'm aware, should've called the mod something else but I didn't know what to pick. Are you against the choice of songs in particular or?
And for anyone reading these, feel free to reach me on Discord @ lupusetflos, please.

while I like this mod, the version of Give It All in this mod is actually a B-Side version of the song, as well as the version of Scavenger being a version released a year before the one that's actually in the game. other than those two things, this mod is great!

UPDATE: Nevermind, just fixed it. Let me explain: I've used a hex editor and edited the first 8 bytes in the file sdata.viv like this: 42 49 47 46 E8 AE 02 40then i used to bigGUI to replace the original files with the edited files from 2 folders: pfdata and speech. I deleted the original ones and imported the new ones (don't worry, i've made a backup of SDATA.viv) and it worked perfectly. Sorry for bothering you!
