Ever wondered why you couldn't get those slots at the top of those towers on the roofs in that race? Well, apparently the air vents were supposed to lift you up to them, although in some cases, there are other (and much more painful) ways to get them. There's also an electro-magnet in the junkyard that should "collect" you if you go close, but I never tested that. Anyways, I found this easy fix in some heavily modded pirate version of the game, but after some small research, the fix for basically any version of the game has surfaced, and it's so easy that even a rheumatic monkey with bowling pins as hands would be able to do it. Here you go:
- First locate the game's "data" directory, default should be this if you bought from GOG: "C:\GOG Games\Carmageddon 2 Carpocalypse Now\data\"
- Next, open the OPTIONS.TXT file, and look for this line: "RussellsFannies 0", and change the 0 at the end to 1, so it'll look like this without the quote marks: "RussellsFannies 1"
- Save the file and start the game
- Frolic
Anyways, it's such an easy fix, and those things were definitely supposed to work as default. The second race in the junkyard (Shove Thy Neighbour I think) even requires every racer to go through an air vent area in the beginning, and if you don't apply the fix, all your opponents will gleefully crash into the ground like a pack of idiots. Which is hilarious, but my point stands still.
Is it possible to change that one line in the GOG release so that people don't have to fix it on their own? I mean, not a horribly difficult fix, but some people won't even notice that those things were supposed to be there. Like I did for some long years about a decade ago...
