names.

Remove the 20 default game cars is possible, but it's not something easy and fast to do. The DeAR 2 program is just needed to unpack the game .ar files, the first step to do this. After have got the game files unpacked, you have to delete the ones of the default game files, make all of them in one new .ar file, remove the default .ar files of the game replacing them with the new made one and test in the game. At the end all should work.
However, it's not suggested remove the default game cars, because some mods and cars add-ons uses files of them, but this depends from which files you remove, if they're the ones of 3D modes, tuning, .info files and vehicle showcase, there's no problem, unlike with removing also the sounds an the textures.
If the purpose is just to don't have the default game cars in the vehicle selection menu list, is enough have empty .info files of them, make a .ar file of them and test it in the game.
All this has been already discussed here in past.

PS: please, use appropriate titles for your topics, and think if is worth post them, and, for what reason in the world you'd made the text in an unreadable blue color? :roll:

Hmm.. Just use DB's revisited 4.1 patch, and click 'bonus mods' and the ! !nodefaultcars.ar should be in there, and extract the ! !nodefaultcars.ar to your mm2 directory, you can download at mm2x at 'mod' section

Right, I kinda reminded that what I've explained about don't have the default game cars in the vehicle selection menu list has been already made and released (I'd also collaborated for it...). Here's the MM2 Revisited V4 mod patch 4.1, download it and extract in your game folder the ! ! !nodefaultcars.ar file placed in the Bonus Mods/No Default Cars folder in the archive.

wow!
this is too much to do
and when i used DB'S mod to remove the cars it just removed it from the cars menu
but not from the race.
i was asking: ''how to remove them from the game''i don't mean to remove them from the cars menu only
i wanted to remove them from the race too.
and i just like that colour.
last thing:
i did not understand all that things.
do you mean that the game wont work if i removed the cars from all the game?
i am going to explode this is too much for me.

The Dummiesboy's No Default Cars mod removes indeed the default game cars only from the vehicle selection menu, it doesn't delete anything; without them the races and the cities cop cars can't work, or they had to be deleted and edited. This is the only good purpose to don't have the in-game cars, right to don't have them in the vehicle selection menu list, so you can easily select the add-on vehicles without have the list full with the default game ones that aren't used by who cares only to the add-on cars. I don't understand any good reason to don't have also the files of the default game cars and so them in the races; the game won't have to load their files, yes, but they aren't big like most of the cars add-ons...
I haven't said that the removing of the game default cars files will make the game not work, I've said the contrary, that should work. I meant that some mods and add-on cars couldn't work properly or not have some features because of the default game cars files missing; as said too, if are left their textures and sounds, there shouldn't be this problem, though.

now i got really confused :? :?
DB'S mod only removes them from the cars menu?
ok but when i saw ((NO))default cars i was thinking that will delete them.
and when you said :( ...without them the races and the cities cop cars can't work, or they had to be deleted and edited...)
did you mean that the game will work if i deleted the default cars.races.cities.police the game will work?
hope thats what you mean. 8O

Keep in mind this: how can a mod fisically delete game files? It's just impossible, a mod "overwrites" the game files that it's going to edit/change, and removing it, all returns as was before.

Come on, now let's close this discussion, I'm done with it. Conclusion: isn't worth edit the game files deleting the game vehicles files, with the conseguence of edit the files for the cop cars in SF and London, and delete the files of the races, if all in the game have to work fine. The work to do is pretty complicated and long, too. The Dummiesboy's mod does what some other members look for, don't have the default game vehicles right in the vehicle selection menu, so to have more space/slots for the add-on ones.

You can use DB's mod and change your opponents and police cars by yourself
Or replace whole your new cars basenames with defaults ones just like HQTM Classic Madness (very long to do)
