By Razor on Aug 25, 2024 in Carmageddon | Comments Off on Death Race 2020’s Widowmaker!
Jorma Rysky from the #Carmageddon Discord server created a quick 3D model of how The Widowmaker from the old Death Race 2020 comic could look if created back in the day for Carmageddon, I decided to take this model and actually put it in the game!
Born in a laboratory and with experience in the Death Races of old, Spyda now wants to take on the real mean streets!

By Razor on Mar 29, 2024 in Carmageddon, Technical Discoveries | Comments Off on Removing C2’s blue HUD elements and menu APO!
Since Carmageddon 2 came out, editing the HUD elements has been a pain in the backside, you can accomplish almost anything you want with enough messing but there has always been a part of the HUD that refused to ever change, refused to ever move and refused to ever be hidden; the blue bars either side of the timer.
You can see this in every mod for C2 which alters the HUD, most notably Harmalarm’s DD2C2TC:
These two blue bars at the top of the screen aren’t texture images like the rest of the HUD, they’re instead a hardcoded element rendered on-screen, in the same vein as the opponent status bar but with the help of Maarten’s reverse engineering efforts Toshiba has found where these elements are defined in the executable and how to disable them.
If you open up your Carmageddon 2 HW executable and search for the following hex values:
8E 00 00 00 26 00 00 00 80 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00
B2 00 00 00 26 00 00 00 8E 01 00 00 0A 00 00 00
And replace both entries with null values, i.e.
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
It will remove these blue bars! Something we have been trying to achieve for years! Incredible.
See below for a comparison:

AFTER
Thanks to Toshiba-3 and Maarten, this will take modding to a whole new level
In addition to this, Toshiba has also just discovered how to remove the hardcoded APO from the main menu of the game!
Find the following hex values in your Carmageddon 2 HW executable:
5C 01 00 00 B9
You should see 3 entires of this hex value, these are the APO elements. Edit all 3 values so 5C 01 becomes 00 02
The hex value should now read as follows:
00 02 00 00 B9
Save and the menu APO will now be removed! Again, an incredible discovery!

By Razor on Mar 4, 2024 in Carmageddon | Comments Off on PSX HOTROD Released
Back in 2020 when I was porting the PlayStation Carmageddon vehicles to C2 I started on the Hotrod and then stopped for some reason, I can’t remember why but Helo from the Carmageddon Discord has now finished this up and got it ingame, download it below:

By Razor on Feb 23, 2024 in Carmageddon | Comments Off on Destruction Derby RAW Mod Returns!
15 years ago I posted about a Destruction Derby RAW mod, I made a few maps and vehicles then quickly dropped it but this month Errol has managed to reverse engineer all of the models out of the game and this mod is back in full swing!
A full write-up of Errol’s work has been archived and will be preserved over at the CWA when i get the time.
For now, here are some shots of things to whet your appetite.
More to come.

Within Rusk’s archives are two early versions of fatlane; fairlane.max and fairlane01.max – both dated 12/05/1998, one is a later revision of the first model.
This mod takes fairlane01.max and adds the original spoiler back from fairlane.max – The best of both worlds!
