Has anybody already tried to edit the Data.twt in the game directory?

I tried, without success. I even changed the same values in the data.twt in the \Data subdirectory, and again, i got the error message "carma2 ran out of memory" at startup.

Is this an issue with the GOG-Version only? Because i've edited the data.twt without any effort when i owned the original game back in the days. Or do i need a specific editor?

Any help would be appreciated (30 Seconds Pinball mode is way too short).

Carstockalypse worked, when i edited the single files instead of the data.twt directly.

Thank you.

For sometime now I tried to get Carmageddon 2 to use my personal edits of POWERUPS.TXT so far to no avail
I've tried renaming the data.twt file-didn't work
I've tried deleting the said twt file-still no change
I tried unpacking said twt file through Carstockalypse-didn't work either
I even tried using Carmageddon 2 Settings Editor from the Wasted! Site-No change in powerups times and usage limits either.

No changes either from having admin privileges and even sacrificing the grandma ped from Carmageddon 1 to Stainless.And the powerups are still left on their default settings.

Am I doing something wrong?
