This is for Phin and Cowpod .

Do you think you could edit the source code of Cowpod to handle the "patch.ini" (used for mounting .BFS files , Flatout's version of pods) .

Here is what the file looks like .

Archives = {
[1] = "patches/fov2.bfs",
[2] = "addons/tint.bfs",
[3] = "addons/USMC_Trasher.bfs",
[4] = "addons/wtowt.bfs",
[5] = "addons/wrcragfo.bfs",
[6] = "patches/fov2overrite.bfs",
}

It would need to number the files in order also , but the

[6] = "patches/fov2overrite.bfs",

entry must stay as the last one . So if you added

[6] = "addons/camera.bfs" , it would need to change the overrite file to number [7] .

I know ziltch about programming so I'm not sure how hard this would be or if it can be done at all .

If it's too much work , a simple "Forget it Warrior" will be fine .

It's possible to do, and probably not that hard. Of course, I know nothing of the game other than what you note above, and worse still is that I'm busy like crazy lately and it's not a very good time for me. So, if nobody has done it when my time frees up, I'll see what I can do. In the meantime, you might do well to ask around and see if there are any VB students hanging around the flatout sites and then just give them the source I posted. The code is modularized and commented and should be easy to read and decipher.

Cool . Thanx for taking the time to answer me . I could not find the link for the source . Could you post it here for me ?

It's the last page of the cowpod home page

Thanx bud !! Not sure I can find anyone to try it , but it sure is a good start .

Thanx for releasing it as open source too .
