Just a heads up: the Collector's Edition update to the Steam version changed the music folder from "music" to "Songs". The mod still works, just have to change the folder name back to Music.
Hey, you said that it works for every Bugbear game, so I wanted to replace the crappy music in Ridge Racer Unbounded, but it doesn't have either a Song or a Music folder. Do you know what to do?
If you trying to make it run on Linux via Steam and encounter " cannot open file" error do the following 1. check the integrity of the files 2. open game root directory in terminal in my case ".../SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/FlatOut Ultimate Carnage CE" 3. use a command printf "\nmusic.bfs" >> ./filesystem
to append music.bfs to the end of a filesystem file (for some reason when editing with kate or vim or any other editor I got the error I mentioned ¯\_(ツ)_/¯")
4. change the name of "./Data/Songs" directory to a "./Data/Music "directory Everything should work, hope it helps.
The game got patched on steam after 15 years (no more GFWL yay). I did everything like in the instructions but I get an fatal error saying "cannot open file".
I literally taught how to install on a licensed Steam version, what did you think those instructions were? Anyways, it's a blank filesystem file, you right click on the little runt, click open with, choose notepad (if you don't have notepad++, of which i doubt most normal people don't). then add the mod's Music.bfs under the first 2 bfs files, done, click save, with the bfs out of the way, it's now a matter of just dragging and pasting files around with the data and music files.
Thank you very much, this breathes the new life into the game! Even skipping tracks ("End" by default) and them being shown in the left corner when they start to play works!
How to install since there is no readme: replace in-game "data" with mod "data" and add "Music.bfs" as the last line in "filesystem" (open with a Notepad or similar program).
Ah I wish there was a mod for infinite money and for freely changing the color of your car...
You can change the car's color on the menu without any trainers, by using the "X" key on the keyboard, was shocked when i realized it.
UPD: Didn't realize i forgot to include the readme, my bad, it was dawn when i published this mod's update and i was tired because i didn't sleep very well that day, slept at Dawn instead of Night.
Oh no I mean change the color after buying the car in career mode, it seems you can do so only before you buy. As to the money I gotta replay Grand Finals or some Speedway Right\Speedway Left time trials ah.
Also, how easy is to edit UC soundtrack? I wonder if I can do so myself to delete tracks I don't like and add only favorites.
Easy but also easy enough to get lost in the track selection yourself if you make something too big and also end up making mistakes.
You need to extract the game files with a bfs unpacker for Ultimate Carnage then grab the data/music/playlist_stunt and playlist_race and playlist_menu then copy and paste it somewhere else, edit the playlist then make a bfs of the new playlists files following the same basic structure of folders, but just with the music ones. (Data/music/ the other .bed files i mentioned earlier) then grab the songs you put in playlist.bed and put them in the music folder, done. Easier said than done, you're prone to making mistakes like i did in the beginning, if you need any help with it, head to FlatOut joint's discord and ask members who modified playlist files how they did it and what to avoid doing during such playlist creation.

Thank you
1. check the integrity of the files

Everything should work, hope it helps.
Awesome mod, thanks for creating it.
