are you tired of only like 5 opponants that are easy to kill in the first few levels of the game carmageddon 2? Well you can edit RACES.txt to make more opponants (max i could get to work was 15) ill show you what race 0 looks like. // number of opponents, on yours should be -1, mine is 15.People say max is 29, but it crashed on me every time, but I am playing it on Windows 7 34bit. you can scroll down in your RACES.txt and you will see Race 1 do this for every one (besides the missionas you have to do) The missions will have //Mission\\ over it... enjoy the carnage!

Well I tested that on my system I could have 17 or so w/o overflow,
up to 28 will wreck up laps to negative, 29 will overflow time, 30 will crash.
so safe can be 28 or 17 if you care about laps :D

I tested this with my DD:RAW mod. If you're around the 22 - 25 mark you're relatively safe, anything above that and the game will go into some major slowdown. 30 or more and you'll probably get crashes.
It also depends on the complexity of the vehicles too.

Posted this and accidentally made a new topic for it because I couldn't find this one anymore. It shows what 29 opponents do.

So I've been wondering about this.
Does amount of vehicles have to do with amount of spawnpoints maps have? Like when I used 26+ in Home Sweet Groan, cars would spawn on top of buildings.
When I put in 26+ cars in Airpain 3, game would crash.

Not to bring this back from the dead, but I can't get this. I go into the folder, the races.txt but I can't read these txt files to edit them? How do people edit these for more opponents?

You can't read the .txt files how? Have you unpacked the data.twt file first because that's where the races.txt file comes from. Use the program carstockalypse and that'll do it for you automatically.zonestarx wrote:Not to bring this back from the dead, but I can't get this.

I'd imagine zonestarx is talking about C1 rather than C2 as the txts in C1 are encrypted by default. zonestarx, fire up the game and type "IWANTTOFIDDLE" and it should decrypt all your txt files.
FatCat, I'd put it somewhere between non-trivial and possibly-impossible.

I did get that, seems to be for adding new cars? I just want to read the twt file under races.twt so I can add the number of opponents from say 5 to 15.

There isn't a races.twt? There is a races.txt inside data.twt

Ah, ok. Those are the actual maps, not the file you need to edit to add more opponents to a race.
In your first screenshot, right at the bottom, you see that data.twt file? That is the file you need to unpack. There are a handful of tools you can use to achieve this. Carstockalypse, as suggested earlier, can automatically unpack the data.twt file for you. Or you can use TWTSuite (available here). Once you've unpacked data.twt into the same folder, just rename it (data.twat for instance) so C2 will use the unpacked files instead.
You should now have a lovely races.txt file
