I tried to copy paste your text into the file pedraces.txt, but the Sled and Bugguti still crashes.

Which Carmageddon are you using? C1, SP, C1+SP Meld Pack? The Meld (From the 1st Post in this thread, I'm pretty sure)
When does the error occur?
After you tried to start the race? yes
Before the grid selection screen? yes
Does the error occur with any cars? I've only tried it with the Eagle (I'm playing my own game, not one of the completed saves)

Regarding the missing ped data files, you can also just copy and rename other ped files.
What's the story with Sinthea and Lady Bug? I came to this topic to report that they never show up as opponents, but I see that it's already a known error. Is there any way to fix it?
On my current playthrough, Sawbones isn't appearing either, but I think that's just a matter of chance.
By the by, I've tried absolutely every fix I can find, and nothing is solving the timer bug. It's not bothering me much, just figured I should report it.

The problem with The Sled and Bugutti also happens with a lot of add-on cars. For some reason, now and then during a race, hitting one of these cars will make the game crash. We tried everything so far. It's a serious mystery :]
I still wonder if that bug might come from the fact C1 and SP are merged together.
The problem you're talking about (cars not appearing, and which is linked to the fact that they are crashy) is just the result of said cars being set to never appear in OPPONENT.TXT with a strength rating of -1. Change that to a number between 1 and 5 and they'll appear ingame.
About the timer: download the latest ddraw.dll from hifi's site:
http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/#download
And in the ddraw.ini file set these values:
maxfps=30
vsync=true
renderer=opengl
singlecpu=true (might help)
Actually maxfps should be enough, change the other ones if it isn't.

Thanks! And thank you for the meld pack in the first place, it's excellent :)
I'd downloaded hifi's dll and applied those settings before, with no luck, but I tried again and this time the FPS limit fixed it. There seemed to be something up with write permission in the file, which is weird since I'm on the admin account on my PC :/. But anyway I changed the permissions and that seemed to do the trick.

Sure thing :)ClintonHammond wrote:"Regarding the missing ped data files, you can also just copy and rename other ped files."Any further details? Assume I have NO idea what I'm doing ('cause I have no idea what I'm doing)
When you try to load one of the tracks which doesn't work [Drown in the Sumps, Splat Track or Figure of Hate] you get the message "Can't find pedestrian pixelmap 'RIDSHK.PIX'" That means that the data file of that name doesn't exist in the game's directory, but the game is still looking for it. If you fix that, you'll then get "Can't find pedestrian pixelmap 'RIDSTL.PIX'."
Apologies in advance, this walkthrough is for Windows. I haven't used Mac or Linux in years, so I can't think how you'd do it.
Find your Carmageddon folder in Explorer, then navigate to DATA > PIXELMAP. Locate the file named RID.PIX and make a copy of that file in the same location (select the file and right click > copy; then deselect the file and right click > paste). Rename the copy to RIDSHK.PIX, then make a second copy, this time renaming it RIDSTL.PIX.
Your list within PIXELMAP should now include the following, if you sort alphabetically:
[...other stuff...]
RIBS.PIX
RID.PIX
RIDSHK.PIX
RIDSTL.PIX
RIGMAP.PIX
[...other stuff...]
At this point, those tracks should load fine.
The reason it's RID is because it's the pedestrian modelled after Reiko the Ridge Racer mascot. I presume SHK is her shocked expression and STL is her standing still, or something like that.

Hi all, long time no see.
I'll try Parovoz's build with stygimoloch's fix and I'll put them together.
I'll upload the main post a bit later.
Done, you can download it here: http://www.4shared.com/file/RAANfJxw/Carmageddon_MELD.html

I have two questions XD, but before THANKS!!!! For the game runs in Win7 lol
First - Why the two police cars are missing?
Second - The game crash allways in the end of a race too, and with Ladybug and Sentea (yes i already read this topic ^^)

Wade, with which pack are you experiencing these issues? The first post of this topic offers two.
The game always crashing after a race is something I never encountered so it's difficult to comment on this. Which means do you use to get the game working? (like DOSBOX+GLIDE, CARM95+D3D-Windower, +hifi's ddraw.dll, etc.)
Secondly, Bugutti and The Sled crashing is the most common issue. This topic seems full of people saying they fixed it, so maybe read it again? Personaly I don't think it can be fixed that so easily or else Stainless would have made it back then.
Oh missed the police cars bit, what do you mean missing? Missing from the car selection menu?

You'll need the cnc-ddraw mod. Also, did you crash because Lady Bug and/or Sinthea participated?
I fixed this problem (somewhat) by de-crypting the text files and then changing the "11" in their GrooveFunkRefs to "-1"

1. Download this and drop it into the game directories
2. Go in-game and quit like normal, you'll now see a ddraw.ini (the configuration file)
3. Open that file up and make the settings look like this:
width=0
height=0
; bits per pixel, possible values: 16, 24 and 32, 0 = auto
bpp=0
windowed=true
; show window borders in windowed mode
border=true
; use letter- or windowboxing to make a best fit (GDI only!)
boxing=false
; real rendering rate, -1 = screen rate, 0 = unlimited, n = cap
maxfps=0
; vertical synchronization, enable if you get tearing (OpenGL only)
vsync=false
; scaling filter, nearest = sharp, linear = smooth (OpenGL only)
filter=nearest
; mouse sensitivity scaling
adjmouse=false
; manual sensitivity scaling, 0 = disabled, 0.5 = half, 1.0 = normal
sensitivity=0.0
; enable C&C/RA mouse hack
mhack=true
; enable C&C video resize hack, auto = auto-detect game, true = forced, false = disabled (OpenGL only)
vhack=false
; switch between OpenGL (opengl) and software (gdi) renderers, latter supports less features but might be faster depending on the GPU
renderer=gdi
; force CPU0 affinity, avoids crashes with RA, *might* have a performance impact
singlecpu=true
NOTES: Width and height are the screen resolutions, I suggest you set it to be native to your computer monitor, unless you intend to browse Carmageddon Wiki for cheats while playing!
MAXFPS is pretty important, if the frames go very high the timer will go nearly twice as fast! I suggest setting it to 25
Vertical sync is pretty good, it attempts to keep a fixed framerate to prevent screen tearing!
Renderer is where I strongly suggest OpenGL, that does a much better job than software GDI
4. Go in-game (if you crash, go back to the ddraw.ini and fix something) and get to the Race menu
5. Type in the code "iwanttofiddle" (No quotes!), you'll hear skidding tires if you did it correctly
6. Quit Carmageddon and head for the DATA\CARS directory
7. Open the BUGGIT.txt (Bugutti, Lady Bug) and SLED.txt (The Sled, Sinthea)
8. Search for GrooveFunkRef (Ctrl + F to search) and change the "11"s in the right-rear suspensions to "-1"
9. Save the text files with Ctrl + S or just quit the Notepads and click the button saying "Save"
Am I making myself unclear? Tell me if you need a tutorial in VIDEO form!

That's because they're not included in the OPPONENT.TXT, I wouldn't be surprised if Stainless removed them in later releases of the Splat Pack (you probably have a version where the two were excluded)

Shouldn't you think about adding a changelog for the various revisions of the meld pack, Tosh? It'd be easier to see what changes there are without having to download the entire package to find out.

How can I play the game with the original music? I have the gog version of the game. Is there any way to use de music of that release?
I tried making a bin/cue image and mount the image, but it only played 2 music tracks and then the music stopped
