Is there a carmageddon 2 max pack or similar?

[Fireman]

Yeah, it always starts like that, I thought it was a negative number in races.txt but it seems fine:

Night be the nastiness level set to 70000.

// Race 15

MISSION: The Super Brawl 2010

Superbrawl.txt // Text file name

NotDoneYet // Name of interface element

29 // Number of opponents (-1 = use default)

0 // Number of explicit opponents

70000 // Opponent nastiness level (-1 = use default)

0 // Powerup exclusions

0 // Disable time awards

1 // Boundary race (mission)

1 // Race type (0 = Carma1, 1 = Cars, 2 = Peds, 3 = Checkpoints, 4 = Smash)

200,180,160 // Initial timer count for each skill level

-1 // Number of opponents that must be killed (-1 means all)

2000000,1500000,1000000 // Race completed bonus for each skill level

// Race description

LOCATION: THE SUPER BRAWL @R OPPONENTS: @O @R Sudden, rapid, intense.30 Opponents, 1 Winner.

0 // Expansion

Umm 70,000?

I believe nastiness level should be a number between 1 and 6 (or -1 for default)

[Mastro 666]

// Opponent nastiness influencer, < 1 = nicer, > 1 = nastier (values between 0.1 and 10 should do)

[Fireman]

Yeah it's a number between something and something, however puttiing it at 70000 seems to fire them up just as good, so I never bothered changing it.

Nonetheless, changing it doesn't fix the timer.

[Toshiba-3]

It's because you have too much opponents.

I think under 28 it only screws the laps count,and above the timer.

Someone posted this at carma.com but I can't find it WITHOUT A SEARCH FEATURE D:<

Here's a video of one of my "custom" missions I made up.

It's a derailed train that's trying to kill you! Sounds carmageddonish enough don't you think?

I also made a list of opponents which are currently in the game, I'll try to look up all the authors, shouldn't be hard with the vehicle names.

[Razor]

Edit the multiplayer start points so the explicit opponents spawn on the train tracks, that would be cool.

All is fine until you go near the railyard.

[Fireman]

Right made a nice list of credits but I'm missing a few more creators from:



EDITED List, still looking for these:

Blood Mixer`

Caddaver

Apocalyptic Mustang

Propeller Punch!

El Cameano

[Razor]

[Toshiba-3]

None of these cars are from Ruin Nation..?

Blood Mixer... from LOD, CADster, it was before my time.

Caddaver... TDA

Apocalyptic Mustang... Probably a stolen model, "by" apex...

Propeller Punch... wut? doesn't ring a bell.

El Cameano... Bruner_James

I don't understand how you could put masterpieces like BloodMixer and Caddaver with stuff like the rest here...

[Fireman]

Yeah, that's why the capslock EDITED LIST :P.

El Cameano... Bruner_James

Found Blood Mixer on Wasted, it names Beroc as creator. I'll leave Propeller Punch out, doesn't really suit the others.

Apocalyptic Mustang however is actually one of my favorite post-apoc vehicles. Found it as... GTA IV mod done by Apex. Not all cars can be the same quality though. Besides as a noob I have no eye for detail, nor do I know any of the C2 modding history and so I can put all kinds of cars together! Yay!

[Toshiba-3]

BloodMixer is by CADster, not Beroc... Most people think that everything that came from LOD was made by Beroc.

Putting all kinds of cars together isn't that much of a good idea IMO, esp. if you start adding stuff by hated people. When sorting out the cars, you could start by checking if there's a simple_model, menu images, openable doors and detachables/smashables/the usual features. No offense but your pack is going to be pretty lame if you simply put everything together without checking the quality.

As I said before: "Best way to have the "approval" of the modding community is actually to release a quality pack."

[Fireman]

simple_model, menu images

That's like half the cars gone! I'll definitely check for simple models though, I always hated it when a gigantic truck suddenly appeared out of nowhere and drove into you.

Quality isn't that important for me, it just has to be fun and easy. (Yeah I sound like such a casual now, but whatever!). It might no appeal to some people, but I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it, if only because "Now I only have to press one download to get that many cars, GREAT!".

[Errol]

/me froths at the mouth

NO MENU IMAGES?! Graragagrragllagarglagael!!!

You should also test each car to see if they can be split in two, otherwise your pack will randomly crash peoples games. Personally I hate the cheaty unsplittable-in-the-wam approach too.

General rule of thumb is more than 4 bounding boxes = crash on split.

With regards to the menu images all cars should have one and it should be in the same style as the original C2 images!

Simple model and shell would also be requirements. But I think these would rule out the majority of my cars. (The fact my cars are shit also rules them out)

[Toshiba-3]

but I'm sure a lot of people will enjoy it, if only because "Now I only have to press one download to get that many cars, GREAT!".

That's indeed the major point in your favor

@Errol: SHELL?! 97% of C2 modders don't know what it's all about! :B But yeah simple_models are really the first thing to check.

[Harmalarm]

Shell? What's that? Ah... you mean

[TTR]

Errol, you keep saying your cars are shit, but they aren't! They're just from a different era, still doesn't say anything, i think it does catches the Carma spirit eh.

[coffeycup]

I'd hate to throw the baby out with the bathwater and end up excluding some cool cars solely because they didn't have a menu or driver image. I guess considering there's hundreds, if not a thousand C2 addon cars floating around there's bound to be some that meet you criteria, just seems a little arbitrary.

I guess I never took the time to understand SHELL models. All I know is when I included one, my moving parts like steering wheels, heads or turrets would have a non-moving doppelgänger. So I'd end up removing it.

Why is Fireman's vid so pixelated? Am I just getting a low rez version because I'm trying to watch it on my iPhone from backwoods Maine with one bar of reception?

[Fireman]

Instead of releasing one pack, why not release two packs with:

- The crap pack; Advertisement: YOU WANT CARS? YOU WANT A LOT? YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE? THEN GET THIS NOW! (Includes all cars, regardless of menu images, simple models, SHELLs, splittability (Go crashes!) etc.)

- The quality pack; Yeah I don't really have any advertisement for this yet.

Depends on what video, the Derailed one was fine, but I had some uploading troubles with the one from Urban Brawl.

Then again iPhones suck!

[coffeycup]

I'm sure modders who have their cars included in the "crap" pack will feel honored.

[Fireman]

I know right! But for me they aren't crap (my favorite vehicle doesn't have a menu image), but you have to name it something!

I also still got a wheels outside of all boxes error, need to check out which vehicle that is.

[Mastro 666]

But for me they aren't crap

Instead of releasing one pack, why not release two packs with:

[Fireman]

You guys do know the name wasn't serious, right? :P

A better name would be the Complete Pack.
