# KeeJay : You should edit these. Changing just the path won't work. Afaik there's only one M54B30 (TimEk9's)] for SLRR, and e.g. typeID of block is 0x000000F9, not 0x00000A41.

Thanks man, I've gotten it all working nicely now. For anyone who's curious, I've been updating the BMW E36 Coupe Megapack to function correctly again. Fixed only certain models of it showing up as enemy racers, as well as added parts for the variations of the M54B30 (such as the M50B20/25 and their corresponding cams/cranks/conrods/pistons/etc). I've also done a few other slight tweaks to make the engine performance more accurate as well as make the car prices more realistic and balanced. It also no longer requires you to download five other mods for it to work correctly. Shouldn't be much longer until I can release it (of course with all credits going to the original authors; I only accept credit for patching it back up :P)

My next question for ya would be whether or not you have any knowledge on the damage systems in the game (refer to my previous post), as I am trying to add torque limitations to cranks/conrods/pistons (separate project). I just find that conrods/pistons/cranks seem to be pretty much indestructible; you can have tiny conrods take infinite amounts of torque as long as they're under a certain rpm, which I find to be a bit wonky :p Any and all help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: So I've noticed something quite peculiar while working on things... My suspension seems to be messed up. I can't put a spring on the front-right strut of the Duhen Sunstrip 1.8; it comes with a spring in that slot, but it's position is messed up and once taken off, it cannot be put back on. So I started over with my install, downloaded a fresh 2.2.1mwm installation and, just out of curiosity, started it up vanilla. It still happened; I started a new game (on a FRESH 2.2.1 MWM install that I just downloaded!), used begformoney to get 120k, bought a Sunstrip 1.8 from the vehicles menu and the same thing occurred. Front right spring is out of position, and once removed, cannot be put back on; nor can any other spring go on. Can someone test this install and see if the same thing happens for them? If not, I have absolutely no idea why this is happening, and if so; how has this gone unnoticed, considering 2.2.1mwm seems to be the most popular version people run?

Just noticed that if I take all of the suspension parts off the car, the only one I can fully put back together is the front left suspension. The trailing arms and struts go on, but shock absorbers will not and as such I cannot put anything further on. And let me reiterate... This is with a freshly downloaded and installed, "clean" version of 2.2.1MWM.

Edit, again. After doing some rather specific google searches, it seems someone has actually released a tiny patch fixing this issue. Looking at the changes, it seems someone forgot to type the slot ID for the front right suspension in the main chassis cfg lol. I'm quite surprised this fix has not already made it into the standard "clean, working" 2.2.1MWM installation. The link for the fix is here, just drop into cars/racers/Duhen_data/scripts/.
