There's plenty of fan made cars/mods for C2.

From what you're trying to get at, I'd recommend C2 Advanced.

On the internet there is a torrent for a Zomfg Map pack.

But downloading it is obviously illegal.

Torrents themselves aren't illegal its what people put in them, Now if its just a map pack, I don't see anything illegal.
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there's a gun around, I want to be in control of it.

The Zomfg pack contains the entire game aswell, so it's illegal,

Also now I've posted here anyway, how does one go around releasing mod packages (collections of mods made by other people).

I made my own collection of mods, with some content I made myself, like skins and different backgrounds. What would be required to release this to download without getting raged at by everyone? Requesting permission from everyone isn't possible, because not everyone is still reachable. Or doesn't the community care that much, as long as you just post links to the places you got the mods from?

You'd have to ask everyone whose mods you've used, otherwise we'd have another PGV on our hands and we don't want that.

Yeah, that's what I thought myself. can't really be arsed to do that. So I'll just keep it to myself. Would be too much trouble and I wouldn't even know where to find half of those creators.

Post a list of the creators, I'm sure that people here would help you get in contact with them.

as long as you list the authors and dont claim you created the said mods then I personally dont see what the problem is!?

People always turn into 'Hulk' when someone else releases a mod by another author even though they clearly state they are not the author -- surely they are doing the author a favour and giving that mod a new lease of life.

think about youtube, its the same; someone uploads a video and within minutes its been uploaded to several different other channels - does the author get pissed off no?

Hello Fireman, personaly I don't agree with the idea to ask everyone: it's impossible and thus counter-productive in regard to the creators themselve and the community.

The kind of dummy on the Carma.com forum shouting for packs shows it somehow. Mega packs are the way to go for newcomers etc. It is a good way to open people to fan-made stuff.

IMO what you should do is write a good list of the mods you installed and write who is the author and his site(s) to find more from him. Then you put it at the root of your mod and maybe as a comment in your zip/rar archive.

If you have modded some addons yourself, write it down as well and if you feel like what you did to the addon might not match the author's usual style etc. then maybe seek approval if the original readme didn't allow mods openly etc.

Best way to have the "approval" of the modding community is actually to release a quality pack. What PGV did was totally lame, he was all like he did everything himself etc. and the mod pack really wasn't coherent.

IMO themed packs would probably be the best, like 70's cars, post apoc cars + tracks, zombie theme with peds, armed cars and modified tracks. You get the idea.

Currently it's only post-apocolyptic cars and a "storyline" with some C2 tracks but mostly add-on tracks made by others (they are however quite random, for example I also put in the Mario map, because it's one of my favorite maps).

It's still not done though. As I still got around 3 more groups to fill up with custom content, which shouldn't be too hard. Currently it contains a lot of different maps and cars from different creators (106 cars, some of which are add-on cars then reskinned by other people and 25+ custom maps).

I downloaded the ZOMFG pack (I know it's illegal, but I just wanted to take a look), and there's a folder with lots of C1 and SP cars converted to C2, including Cullwing, Grungebuster, Street Eater, Road Bratt, King Merc and Lumberer. I just named these ones because I never found them before.
I'm just a lurker.

25+ Custom Maps? I gotta think that there's a few of mine in there?

I only say that because there's a lot fewer map makers than car makers. :smile:

The Zomfg pack is really old though. There weren't that many add-on cars out then.

I bet most of you must have around 500+ cars on your drives now. I have around 450 and I only downloaded the once I thought looked interesting.

really old? judging by what's included, it was done around 2006... that's nothing when you consider people have been making stuff since 1998.

Shit, I made those eagle and hawk models in 2005 and that feels like less than a year ago. :P

Huh, I have a lot of mine in there. I didn't think people actually downloaded my shit.

I think it's newer than 2006, steampunk and panzer were from 2008 & 2009...

I like how "old" now means anything made more than a year ago. I've noticed it in tv shows too, people getting all pissed off because their lifes work has been disrupted! They had been working on that thing for WEEKS!

Nah, I just failed. I looked at the Zomfg Pack a while ago (a while being two years) and I thought it was older :P. Never properly checked the content.

I'm starting to work on sorting out the correct vehicles to get them into one .rar so I'll just release a car pack first, see how much whining I get, then consider releasing the map pack.

What recording software do you use for recording videos in-game by the way? The quality of this (Growler Guncam) is shit and the audio doesn't work properly.

What's wrong with the timer?

The timer says 71582 minutes and later it reset itself (carmageddon.com?).
