Re: Total conversion (TC) ideas, based on Carmageddon 2

Some off-the-cuff ideas:

Wipeout/Extreme G style - super fast looping, corkscrewing, permeant wall climber, speed boost pads, etc. Sci-Fi style visuals.

Mario Kart style racer - cartoony, mascot character driven kart racing.

Couple of questions: 1) Are you running the game's Experimental Beta Patch? If you are then you need to use the version linked at the bottom of this post:https://www.cwaboard.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=9732 and use the instructions in there to set the command line to run the mod 2) If you are not using t...

Prototype: Carma 2 Car Ports

So ages ago I started porting all the cars from Carmageddon 2 over to Max Damage. This was one of my many projects which has been left on the wayside due to other projects. I have full intentions of finishing it off at some point but I have no idea when. So, given the lack of progress and having pac...

It couldn't hurt to drop an message to their driver support people about it, CMD might not be the only game which this effects.

Re: Issues with AMD RX 6400

Welcome to the boards! This is the first time I've seen this issue to be honest, from an educated guess it looks like there's an incompatibility with the skeletal mesh skinning shader. The game has a bad history with Radeon GPUs since the Vega series, the fact it runs at all is good progress for AMD...

Re: IWantToFiddle - a tool so you don't need to type IWantToFiddle!

Quick update, I've now got it embedding all the dependencies so it should work without needing to install the correct version of .NET and also sets the dummy PROG.ACT file correctly to let the game know the files are decrypted. Let me know if it doesn't work!

Re: [Tool] Minge: The CarMODgeddon Mod Installer

That is not a Minge issue, that sounds like there's an issue with a mod causing the crash. Minge doesn't interact with the game itselt, it just updates a configuration file which tells the game which mods to load.

Thanks, that confirms my theory.

If steam isn't installed then the registry key is not found and it th...

By defualt the game attempts to run at a refresh rate of 60hz and has a softcap of 125fps, but this can be lifted to (I think) 220fps in the config file, which I assume is a limit imposed by the physics engine to stop things going wonky. ...

You might need to extract the contents of the two ZAD files in the ZAD_AUDIO folder into DATA_CORE, you can open them in 7zip or your favourite ZIP software as ZAD files are just renamed ZIP files.

Peds have never worked in multiplayer as far as I'm aware. Stainless never managed to get them to be deterministic (e.g. so everyone's simulation is always identical) and they didn't sync them due to the huge amount of data that would need transfering.
