Hello.

I've been working on a blackmarket mod which allows you to spawn every land vehicle in the game (only 1 is not working in this version, maybe its fixed in the next)

Here is the link: blackmarket.bin (http://sites.google.com/site/maxovitsj/files/blackmarket.bin)

and here is the +- 40mb picture mod which inserts pictures so you know which car you spawn : Vehicle Pics.rar (http://www.mediafire.com/?njnmvnhmqyz)

extract the .rar and copy the files to: <Just Cause 2 install folder>\dropzone (if its not there, make it)

also place the blackmarket.bin in there.

and voila, you can spawn all :)

credits go to: Maxovitsj (main concept + coding), polimerjones (pictures + picture concept)
and anyone else who deserves it.

any questions?
check the Facepunch thread: Here (http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=915091&page=46) or email me: maxovitsj at gmail dot com

UPDATE: Version 0.09 is out:
http://sites.google.com/site/maxovitsj/files/blackmarket.bin

features:
- all airplanes
- sorting / ordening: airplanes, land vehicles, agency stuff

UPDATE: Version 0.1 is out:
http://sites.google.com/site/maxovitsj/files/blackmarket.bin

features:
- all choppers
- new separation which makes it clear IMHO.

next version: boats + anything i forget, probably last version

UPDATE: Version 0.2 is out:
http://sites.google.com/site/maxovitsj/files/blackmarket.bin

features:
-all boats
-fixed agency vehicles

awesome. I suggest you make different versions.. one containing default blackmarket stuff + cars, one with default + planes, one with default + boats, and one with default + all

Im not sure if this is possible, because there is only one blackmarket, but i'll do my best

I mean like different .bins to distribute, one with default + planes, one with default + cars, and so on.

not a new "blackmarket"

If you mean like make 4 mods:

- airplanes
- boats
- cars / bikes / land ****
- all

that could be possible, but atm, i havent found a way to make it in 2 .bins and work at the same time

One question: Are the original black market items unlocked?
Are they free?
All i hope is that you cant upgrade for free, cuz it ruins the interest of upgrades.

However, Thanks for that mod, i will have loads of fun trying different ways do go down a mountain :D

as far as I know, yes, the original stuff is unlocked.

free? I think so, can't remember.

Yes its free, but i made one for some dude who didnt want the agency stuff to be free, so i added some prices for him.. its an old version though. When im done with adding planes and stuff then ill make 2 versions:

- 1 free
- 1 paid :)

Thank you for the trouble of doing this Maxovitsj. I saw on pacepunch this morning that polimerjones was working on the pictures, and thought this will be a good mod for people who like to work on vehicle textures.
They can now spawn the particular vehicle easy enough, to see what their modded texture looks like. :thumb:

Maybe not vehicle textures. I think someone was trying and having problems.
But since I saw people had modded character textures, I figured vehicle textures would be possible too.
I dinna know. :confused:

Yea, char / animal textures are possible, but the vehicles are packed in some sort of format and need to be repacked and re-inserted and thats not possible yet i believe :P

max I am working on air vehicles right now.. you might of gotten further than i have but anyway, cargoplane is that big plane that spawns taking off at a few military airports, and jumbojet is the aeroliner 474 that spawns at the international airport.

I wonder if you can spawn entities.... hehe

to install go to your: <just cause 2 install folder>\dropzone (if that doesnt exists just make it)

then place the blackmarket.bin in the dropzone folder

if you want the pictures to work in game, extract the rar and place them in the dropzone as well.

I downloaded and installed, and really enjoying it. Still don't have access to the Limited Edition DLC though, so I am assuming you need the Limited Edition still. It's just that in the video at the beginning of the post you see he has both the Monster truck and Hovercraft? I thought that the Monster truck was US exclusive and the Hovercraft was EU exclusive, so how can he have both?

If I upgrade them to lvl 6 and then load the game or restart, they are lvl 1 again, though I have version 0.2 (the latest?), which should fix that problem, right?

Hi guys, thanks for creting this mod, too bad it had many errors, but i've managed to fix them.

DOWNLOAD BLACK MARKET by MdM v2.0 (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=YR24CHHP)
PATCH v2.1a (Fix HMG bug) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FOND4ECG)

PATCH v2.1 (Obsolete) (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I6A2YGB2)http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FOND4ECG

Installation:
- Extract the Dropzone folder into the game folder
- Replace the blackmarket.bin in the v2.1
- Start the game
- Have Fun!


Features:
- All Vehicles (Ground, Air, Sea....)
- All Pictures
- Sorting
- 100% Working Agency upgrades!!! (they will stay there when you reload tha save)
- Bubblegun and Minigun

- Normal upgrade price
- Agency Stuff cost -90% (Both weapons and vehicles)
- Free new vehicles

NOTE: new vehicles upgrades DON'T WORK!!! so avoid to waste precius vehicle parts on them: first, a 1 star car/boat/aircraft (except agency ones) are the same as a 6 star; second, all those upgrades will be lost when you reload the game, and you won't get the vehicle parts back (only agency ones will stay upgraded). For this reason i've set the usual upgrade price that is quite balanced.
An unbalanced thing was instead the price: since you can't save stuff in garages, you have to spend 1'000'000 for every time you load the game, so the price now have been reduced by 90% for both weapons and vehicles.

Jaga

@MdM,

Just installed 2.1a for a quick test drive. Initial impressions are good. I have some comments with regards to the package:

If your work was based in any way off the original by maxovitsj, you should both include a readme with that information, and post out here with the same. Seeing as you ask others give you credit, you should do the same if you used his work. :)
A readme with quick install instructions (and as previously noted, credits) would be a good addition.
I would suggest moving agency vehicles to the top of the current sorting list, since most people will go looking to purchase those first.
Prices at 10% of original are a bit low, if an improvement over vanilla. I would suggest going with 20-25% instead, as a happy medium.
Other newly-added vehicles are currently free, which seems like a cheat to me. It might be a bit of work, but they should be given prices to reflect their utility and usefulness in the game. A super-cheap bike (for example) might only cost 350, while a top of the line jet might cost 75000. Making them free actually lessens their value to a player, since they can order and destroy them at any time with no repercussions at all.
The mod claims to have All Vehicles (80 image files were added), and yet another mod I tried (Technopaths v2 (http://www.justcause2mods.com/index.php/mods/other/Black-Market/Technopaths-Blackmaket-Mod-v2/)) has around 102. Are you sure you enabled all vehicles possible?

I'll playtest with the mod installed a while and report back if I see anything else.

buzz been testing your newer version you posted over at the justcause2 mod site and yeah the agency vehicles are fixed, great job now is there any way you can also fix the machine gun ? because that does not hold the upgrade either, and as a side note i also upgraded the other choppers and they all hold their upgrade except for the uh-10 chippewa did not try any other vehicles yet.

@MdM,

Just installed 2.1a for a quick test drive. Initial impressions are good. I have some comments with regards to the package:

If your work was based in any way off the original by maxovitsj, you should both include a readme with that information, and post out here with the same. Seeing as you ask others give you credit, you should do the same if you used his work. :)
A readme with quick install instructions (and as previously noted, credits) would be a good addition.

Sorry, i gave credits to everybody that worked on that mod, i downloaded all versions in this thread and used them as startup, and i coulden't remember all the original owners; as for the prices i still have to set them as there are lots of vehicles, and some prices can be changed for agency too. I'll give also a check to technopaths mod.

S**T! I've just finished to work on a fix for "Technopaths Black Market Mod v2" adding sorting, upgrade fix and everything else; i was uploading it, but i've figured out that his v3 has just been released :mad2: Looks like i've just lost 2 hour of work.

That was my version anyway, it could be better than his v3: just extract all in game folder:
Technopaths Black Market Mod v2 + MdM fix (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=PIWFZ1JK)



@Ass_Fat:
if you save the game after installing a mod with bugged upgrades the weapon/vehicle will return to 1 star; i had the same problem when i installed the BM mod

Scarn I think if we get rid of the voice it won't work anymore, maybe there's a way to replace it with another sound, but I don't know anything about modding the game since I'm not a programmer and won't touch this, I've just tried to see what it looks like inside a file but wow, too much text in this, maybe someone can check witch file is playing and replace it with just a normal blank sound.

Like I said in a post above, there is a mod for getting rid of the blackmarket cutscene, here (http://www.justcause2mods.com/index.php/mods/other/Black-Market/orderby,3/)

alright guys, i basically stopped making this because other people are better in it.
i hope you like it, and you can modify it to your likings, but if you copy-pasta anything from me give me credz please ok?

i just dont have time to keep working on it and there are other, better mods out there.

enjoy the game!

(oww and to people that like that sheldon shuts up, ive made a mod that deletes all the sounds, but the cutscene is still there. i think thats hardcoded (dont think its possible to delete the cut scene without crashing the game :/)
