How To Install
--------------
- Make a backup of your save game file as needed. The save game is located at:
Windows Vista/Windows 7:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Criterion Games\Burnout Paradise\Save
Windows XP:
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Criterion Games\Burnout
Paradise\Save
Remember that you might need to change your folder settings to
show hidden files in order to see the Application Data folder.
- Simply run the Vanity Pack installer to install Vanity Pack.
If you have used Vanity Pack 1.5 or earlier or Vanity Pack 2.0 beta 7 or earlier,
it is recommended that you first uninstall and reinstall the game in order to
not have any files carried over from the earlier Vanity Pack, as this could
negatively impact the new Vanity Pack. Make sure to first back up
your save game, if desired.
- Optionally select to install Russian Vanity Pack (partial).
- At the end of installation, you can opt to read the README file, FAQ file
and/or run Vanity Pack
- NOTE: For the Steam version, the original game folder is renamed
to burnout(tm) paradise the ultimate box.original and a junction
is created in place of the original folder, pointing to the
Vanity Pack folder. This is needed as the game needs to be run
from within the steamapps folder. If you want to play the original
Steam game without Vanity Pack either uninstall Vanity Pack or,
at your own risk, run SteamSwitcher with a command line argument
of "OFF" (wihtout quotes). In order to restore the Vanity Pack
version after having done this, run the SteamSwitcher with a
command line argument of "ON" (without quotes).
- Starting with version 2.0.0 beta 9 you will be able to install
updates in place without uninstalling the old VP version first.

How To Use
----------
- Start Vanity Pack. With User Account Control (UAC) turned on
you will see an elevation dialog. After confirming you should
see a Vanity Pack window. With UAC turned off you should see
the Vanity Pack without being prompted for elevation. This
might not work on all configurations. If it doesn't, turn UAC
on or start VanityPack.exe as Administrator.
- Burnout Paradise will be launched automatically.
- Wait for Vanity Pack to do its thing. If you have auto-login
turned on, it should all be automatic. If you don't then you
will need to log in to the Criterion Games Network/Origin
inside the game.
- To get help about Vanity Pack startup parameters, run VanityPack.exe
with the command line argument "--help" (without quotes). Some
help information will be logged to a log file in the logs directory
of your Vanity Pack installation.

Use the "Switch Menu" hotkeys to switch between the different menus.
The "Toggle Menu" key(s) toggle back and forth between hiding the menu
and showing the information console. The console shows the state of
features like Traffic and Offroad as well as Color and Boost information.
It also shows the selected vehicle to spawn.

Use the "Toggle Traffic" and "Toggle Offroad" hotkeys to toggle those
features on or off.
To switch vehicles outside the junk yard, use the "Switch Vehicle Selection"
hotkeys (in conjunction with SHIFT as needed) to select the vehicle to
spawn. You can then either spawn the vehicle by using the "Spawn Selected
Vehicle" hotkey or save it to one of ten slots using the "Save Vehicle Selection"
hotkey followed by a numeric key (0-9). Use the "Spawn Saved Vehicle" hotkey
followed by a numeric key (0-9) to spawn one of the ten saved vehicles.
You can also use the "Switch Vehicle Selection to Currently Driven Vehicle"
hotkey to set current vehicle selection to the vehicle currently driven.
To see the list of saved vehicles, press the "Spawn Saved Vehicle from Menu"
hotkey. Once triggered, you can use the same hotkey again to return to the
regular menu or press a numeric key (0-9) to spawn the respective vehicle.
A "(0-9)" indicator will display next to the menu when a numeric key is
expected.

To switch colors and color types, use the "Switch Color" and "Switch Color
Type" hotkeys. Use a combination of CTRL and/or SHIFT with the "Switch Color"
hotkey to make bigger steps in color selection. Use the "Save Color Settings"
hotkey followed by a numeric key (0-9) to save the selection. To restore the
color setting use the "Restore Color Settings" hotkey followed by a numeric
key (0-9).
To see the list of saved color settings, press the "Restore Color Settings
from Menu" hotkey. Once triggered, you can use the same hotkey again to
return to the regular menu or press a numeric key (0-9) to restore the
respective color settings.
A "(0-9)" indicator will display next to the menu when a numeric key is
expected.
Please note that these selections operate on the car you are
currently driving and that a change in color selection can be seen right away.
This is not the case with boost selection, described below.

To switch boost type, length and fade, use the "Switch Boost Type", "Switch
Boost Length" and "Switch Boost Fade" hotkeys. Please note that a change to
any of these does not immediately take effect to the car you're driving.
You will have to re-spawn the car or re-select the car in the junk yard
for the new boost settings to be activated.

To save settings for the currently selected vehicle to the VanityPack.ini


file, use the "Save Vehicle Settings for Currently Selected Vehicle" hotkey.
You can also save the current settings to all previously saved vehicles or
for all vehicles using the respective hotkeys "Save Vehicle Settings for All
Saved Vehicles" and "Save Vehicle Settings for All Vehicles". To restore
default vehicle settings for the currently selected vehicle, use the "Restore
Default Vehicle Settings for Currently Selected Vehicle" hotkey. To reset
vehicle settings from the VanityPack.ini file instead, use the "Restore
Vehicle Settings for Currently Selected Vehicle" hotkey.

To toggle auto kick and mute, use the "Toggle Auto Kick And Mute" hotkey.
For this feature to work you will have to add additional information to your
VanityPack.ini file, see the "Bully Repellent" section below.

How To Assign Custom Key Bindings


---------------------------------
The default key bindings should have been added to VanityPack.ini the first
time you run Vanity Pack. To set custom key bindings, edit the values on the
right side of the equals signs (=), not the keys to the left.

NOTE: It is advisable to make a backup of the VanityPack.ini file before


you edit the file. Vanity Pack might not be able to start properly if
you mess up something in the file.

NOTE: Please do not edit the VanityPack.ini file while Vanity Pack is
running or you will most likely lose the information entered. Only edit
the VanityPack.ini file before starting Vanity Pack. There is one
exception to this, see the Bully Repellent section below.

You can use a single key, possibly modified by between zero to three of
the modifier keys, CTRL, ALT and SHIFT. Separate key names and modifier
key names with plus signs (+).

When Vanity Pack starts up it will write to its log file a message stating
whether or not the custom key bindings were successfully parsed. It will
also log the key bindings that are in effect. If there is an error in
parsing the custom key bindings from VanityPack.ini, Vanity Pack will
fall back to using the default key bindings.

Please note that on some keyboards you will need to install a special driver
to be able to use media keys and other keys beyond the 101/102 standard keys.
Some keyboards, like the HP KG-0636, does unfortunately not pass through
presses of some of their media keys to third party applications like Vanity Pack.

If you want to change the key repeat settings, edit the following values in
VanityPack.ini. They are all represented in milliseconds and should be put
in the UserSettings section of the VanityPack.ini file.

KeyRepeatDelay (default 500) changes how long to wait before starting to


key repeat after initially pressing one or more keys.

KeyRepeatRate (default 10) changes the key repeat rate when holding one
or more keys down.

InfoPanelUpdateDelay (default 500) changes how long to wait before updating


the information panel after releasing a hotkey.

Key Binding Names


-----------------

The following section shows the key binding names that Vanity Pack knows
about. Please note that not all these keys are actually available on
every keyboard. The chart below shows them as laid out on my standard
US keyboard. You keyboard layout might differ.

To further investigate key scan codes, should you not find what you're
looking for in the chart below, you can use the VanityKeys.exe program,
which you can find in the Vanity Pack installation directory. If you
are running on a non-US keyboard layout and you are having problems
running this software, please report any issues.

Another program that might be helpful is "Keyboard Codes Display" from


http://delphiforfun.org/programs/utilities/KeyCodes.htm
The Vanity Pack names do not match 100% to these, but they're close enough.

Bully Repellent
---------------

Vanity Pack includes an experimental feature that allows for


automatically muting or kicking one or more players. Please
note that this does not do anything that you could not do
yourself in the original game - it just makes it a bit more
convenient as it is automatic (when it's working properly).
Because of this, you can only kick players automatically
using Vanity Pack if you are the host.

Please also note that the bully repellent features are not
active by default as Vanity Pack starts. You will need to
press the corresponding hotkey to toggle it on (or off).

NOTE: It is advisable to make a backup of the VanityPack.ini file before


you edit the file. Vanity Pack might not be able to start properly if
you mess up something in the file.

NOTE: Editing the VanityPack.ini file while Vanity Pack is


running for anything but the auto kick and auto mute values
described below will most likely not retain the information
entered. Editing AutoKick and AutoMute values while the
Vanity Pack is running is supported, but tread carefully.
In order for updated values to take effect in the game
if editing while Vanity Pack is running, you must disable
and re-enable auto kick and auto mute using the designated
hotkey.

To automatically kick players from your room when you are


the host, add the desired player names, separated by comma,
on a line like the following in the UserSettings section of
VanityPack.ini:
AutoKick = playername1,playername2

To automatically mute players from the room, whether you are


the host or not, add the desired player names, separated by
comma, on a line like the following in the UserSettings
section of VanityPack.ini:

AutoMute = playername3,playername4

Player names need to match the full names of the players


you desire to kick or mute. "playername1", "playername2",
"playername3" and "playername4" are just examples to
illustrate how to use these features.

Toggle between Fullscreen and Windowed mode


-------------------------------------------
An experimental fullscreen/windowed mode toggle was added to
Vanity Pack in version 2.0.0 beta 10. This feature only works
when the d3d9.dll file is in place. The hotkey for this feature
is hard coded to ALT+RETURN (Alt+Enter).

To toggle between fullscreen mode and windowed mode, press


Alt+Enter.

Please note that the game might exit windowed mode after
returning to the game having displayed the Criterion Games
Network News page. If this happens, just toggle once or
twice more to return to windowed mode.

There is support for starting the game in windowed mode,


which can be configured in the VanityPack.ini file under
the UserSettings section. The key is called StartWindowed
and valid values are "Y" and "N" (without quotes).

There is also support for centering the window upon entering


windowed mode, which can be configured in the same section.
The key is called CenterWindow and valid values, again, are
"Y" and "N" (without quotes).

Please note that manually resizing the window might cause


the in-game menu and/or country flags to render incorrectly.
Supported window sizes are the ones supported by the game,
plus a few custom ones:

800x600, 1024x768, 1152x864, 1176x664,


1280x1024, 1280x720, 1280x768, 1280x800, 1280x960
1360x765, 1360x768, 1366x768, 1400x1050, 1440x900
1600x1024, 1600x1200, 1600x900, 1680x944, 1680x945
1680x1050, 1768x992, 1920x1080, 1920x1200

An attempt has been made to not allow triggering of the


screen saver or display power saver, but it's possible
that either will still activate. If this happens, you
will have to manually disable them yourself in Windows'
Control Panel if you wish to play in windowed mode without
such interruptions.

Please note that minimizing the game window might render


the Bully Repellent feature inoperable. If this happens,
simply disable and re-enable the Bully Repellent once
you're back in the game.

Away From Keyboard (AFK) mode


-----------------------------
An experimental Away From Keyboard feature was added to
Vanity Pack in version 2.0.0 beta 9. The AFK mode starts
automatically under the following conditions:

- The AFK mode toggle is active


- You are in an online freeburn room
- There are at least two players in the room
- An Online Marked Man freeburn game is not running
- You have been parked, without moving, for 30 seconds
- You have not used any Vanity Pack hotkeys for 30 seconds

If you move before the timer has reached 30 seconds, be it


volunteerily or by being hit by another player or a traffic
vehicle, the 30-second timer resets. The same goes for using
a Vanity Pack hotkey.

When AFK mode activates, your car will start blinking to


alert others that you are AFK. During the time you are in
AFK mode you will also be immune to takedowns.

Once AFK mode has activated, it is canceled under the


following conditions:

- You leave the online freeburn room


- An Online Marked Man freeburn game is starting
- You start driving
- You toggle AFK mode off or use any other Vanity Pack hotkey.

To disable AFK mode, use the "Toggle AFK Mode" hotkey. AFK
mode is enabled by default on start of the game.

Speedometer, Tachometer, Odometer, Trip Meter, Fuel Meter and Nitro Meter
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vanity Pack includes an experimental set of meters showing a range of data
such as:
- Speed
- RPM
- Fuel level
- Nitro level
- Trip distance
- Total distance
- Gear
- Game Time or Local Time

To toggle the visibility of the meters, press Ctrl+F7.

The speedometer and distance meters display in miles per hour and miles
by default. To toggle between metrics and imperial units, use Shift+F7.
The units selected will be stored in the VanityPack.ini file under the
MetricUnits key in the UserSettings section.
The speedometer needle works only when the wheels are on the ground.
When the vehicle is in the air, the needle will fall off, while the
digital meter shows the air speed. The needle will stop at one full
revolution even if your actual speed is higher.

The tachometer needle shows the revolutions per minute as reported by


the game.

To toggle the time displayed in the tachometer between game time and
local time, press Ctrl+Shift+F7. The selected setting will be saved
in the VanityPack.ini file under the LocalTime key in the UserSettings
section.

The odometer and trip meter distances will increase while you are driving
as long as the wheels are on the ground. Depending on the active units,
the rollover distances for the trip meter and odometer are:
- imperial units: 10000 miles and 1000000 miles
- metric units: 10000 kilometers and 1000000 kilometers

The distance driven are stored in the VanityPack.ini file (as yards)
and will persist between gaming sessions. They are stored under the
keys YardsDriven and YardsDrivenTrip in the UserSettings section.

The initial value given to the odometer is calculated from your savegame.
If you do want to start the odometer at 0 you will need to edit the
VanityPack.ini file before starting Vanity Pack.
NOTE: The distances are stores in yards regardless of if you are using
metric or imperial units.

The trip meter can be reset while in game by pressing Alt+F7.

The nitro (boost) meter shows how much boost power is available,
similar to the game's boost bar.

The fuel meter starts at a random value and then decreases as you
drive around Paradise City. Driving through a gas station will
fill up the tank. For bikes, this doesn't work, so their gas tank
is filled up when the boost bar is filled (having first activated
boost, of course).
NOTE: The gas level is currently just visual eye candy and does not
affect the vehicle when the tank is empty.

The color of the meters can be customized by adding the key


MetersColorARGB to the UserSettings section of the VanityPack.ini
file. The value needs to be given as an 8-digit hexadecimal value.
The first two digits represent the Alpha (transparency), followed
by three pairs of digits for the Red, Green and Blue color components.

The default value (even if not present in the ini file) is


C824FFFC. This represents a cyan color with an Alpha value of C8
(roughly 75% opaque), a little red (24), full green (FF) and
almost full blue (FC).

MetersColorARGB = C824FFFC

The color of the needles can similarly be customized by adding


the key NeedleColorARGB to the UserSettings section of the
VanityPack.ini file. The default red value is C8FF2634, which
is rougly 75% opaque, with red, green and blue component values
FF, 26 and 34.

NeedleColorARGB = C8FF2634

Manual Gearbox
--------------
To toggle between automatic and manual gearbox, press F7. In
manual gearbox mode, press D to switch gear up and X to
switch gear down. You can also use arrow up and arrow down,
or whatever up/down keys you have configured in the game.
As an experimental feature, there is support for manual
gear switching using up/down on the gamepad joystick.
NOTE: These gear switching hotkeys and gamepad only work
when in manual gearbox mode.

How To Uninstall
----------------
- Run the Vanity Pack uninstaller.
- Restore your save game from your backup as needed.

Known Issues
------------
- See the FAQ for the most up to date information on issues
- The save game may not be compatible with the original, un-modded,
game after using this mod. Please make backups as necessary.
- The toy P12 88 Special does not, just like its bigger parent,
silence the engine while hovering.

How To Report Issues


--------------------
- Send a comment describing your issue to smilingfrog at
Burnout Hints (burnouthints.webs.com). Please include the corresponding
log file from the Vanity Pack's logs folder. It is best to run
VanityPack.exe with the command line argument "--detail" (without quotes)
before reporting the issue as this will add more diagnostic context
to the log file.
- Alternatively, if I am available, send a message on Xfire/Steam/Origin.

Where To Find New Versions


--------------------------
- Sign up for the Vanity Pack News mailing list at
https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/vanitypack-news
- Gamer Hints/Burnout Hints (burnouthints.webs.com)
- With version 2.0.0 beta 8 automatic updates is possible and
you will get prompted upon starting Vanity Pack if a new version
is available, unless bandwidth limitations prevent it. In that
case you will still get notified when starting Vanity Pack that
a new version is available for download outside of Vanity Pack.
