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.

This is probably irrelevant for 99% of users, but if you're on Linux using Wine like me it seems that if SDATA/sdat.viv is missing, the game crashes on start.Simply replacing it (backing up the original of course) with an empty file works and the music still gets replaced with no crash.

@Lemonov I feel you, I was divided on that myself. I shall try to update this once I have the time. Thanks for the feedback!

This mod desperately needs OG timing of Riders on the Storm to be perfect. Even a crude solution would be better. Great otherwise
