In Carmageddon 1 (software mode), there's an inconsistency between the sky rendered by the external camera and the one rendered by the internal cam (cockpit). If I'm not mistaken, it's the same difference as between the skies of the C1 software external cam and the external cam while in Glide mode. ...

In Carmageddon1 (maybe C2 software too), applying a blend table on a material (either via the \50 switch in the identifier or by loading the table directly within the material file) will disable the depthcue/fog shading on it. This basicaly renders these materials full bright and can be used for neo...

Something's amiss with the CNT file. Seems like node scales are read wrong or something. I doubt Errol will fix that anytime soon though, plus it's been like 5 months since we last saw him around.
