all cars and tracks profile for download

[JeffR]

Create a player named all, then extract the files from this zip file all.zip (http://members.cox.net/jeffareid/all.zip) into the "all" directory, overwriting the 3 files. Run MBWR, load "all", then do a save as to the file you want.

Here is what "all" looks like:

Jeff you my hero -^

I was waiting for something like that. I did try to merge the 2 profiles but I could not figure out how to :D

How did you create it, if you not mind asking ?

[Tom from TDK]

Unbelievable what kind of experts you are...

May I shall ask some of you to become betatester for WRII...:D

Betatesters for the Multiplayer would be just enough :D

[[XR]SUE52]

Yes, I am so looking forward to that too, I do so hope that there will be a chat lobby as well.

Hugs to MBWR fans and dear Tom :")

Sue :love: :Peace: :love:

I should have learned by now when to shut my mouth and be quiet and when to say something :") =[

How did you do it? Did you hex-edit the player files?

[JeffR]

Did you hex-edit the player files

Yes. The player files are "human" readable, text strings describing the variables, followed by the variables. In this case, I just cut and pasted car enabled flags from a full house profile into a free ride profile.

I've figured out some of this stuff. Since none of this affects car performance or could lead to cheating (the cheat codes could always be used to get cars and tracks anyway), I'll include what I've figured out so far here.

The main point of all of this "research", is that entering every championship race, driving all the missions, and driving every car at least once will maximize experience "bonus" points, which confirms the tip included in the game. Everything else increases the same on any race, but I had already figured that out when I did a second Career run, driving a 1 lap single race with every car at Nevada 14, then running all the missions which were released by then, then running the championship races.

The player files include score, championship, mission, track, and car information. Score information includes last race and previous score so it can show those green and yellow bars again when you reload a savegame. Championship, mission, track, car data include a FlagRelease set of variables, which indicate which ones have been released (unlocked). The smaller player file includes counts that get displayed from the load menu.

Each variable is usually 5 bytes long, a flag byte and a 4 byte value. If flag byte is 01, the value is an integer (little endian format), if the flag byte is 02, the value is a float (also little endian format).

Scoring

for each race, the 100% value is:

placement: 30 points for first place, 24 for second, 18 for 3rd, ...
experience: 66 points (1 per kilometer + bonus)
performance: 22 points (leading all laps or overtaking I think).
fairnesss: 20 points (no unfair messages)
discipline: 20 points (no shortened messages)
skill: 20 points (no driving errors)

It's not possible to get 100% experience in a typical race. Experience includes a bonus of 8 points for each track, car, or mission driven for the first time. Note, previous (to last race run) total experience value is kept, current total experience value is calculated and the difference between these becomes the race value.

For a player status, the 100% value for each bar is:

placement: 6000 (200 races)
experience: 4500 (~2200 bonus points, ~2300 km's driven)
performance: 3500 (160 races)
fairnesss: 3000 (150 races)
discipline: 3000 (150 races)
skill: 3000 (150 races)

Higher values just show as 100%. Total 23000 points for all bars at 100%. Status value, mission releasing, and championship releasing occur when enough total points are accumulated. I don't know the specific thresholds, but I think I've figured out enough already.

Thanks Jeff, I had lost the reply to this thread, only now I see it ;)
Following your explanation I found the different parameters using an HEX editor.

What I wanted to do actually was to enable also all missions and all championships, reaching 100% on all sliders and rank "driver No.1" so you can drive wherever you want. This would be the ultimate profile :D

I managed to do it in the small .WRP file (so you see all enabled and 100% when loading), I could assign 100% on the sliders even in the loaded game but I could not really enable status "No.1" (it's going back to status1) and the championships/missions inside the .WRC file are still not enabled...my HEX editor is too limited to make a good search with two files comparing the differences &(

What I did actually, since I've been away for business for one week and had several lonely evenings in dull hotel rooms, with a laptop (and without wheel!), is the following:
[list=1]
Took your "all" profile
Drove each car for one single lap race on the oval (the only one allowed with a keyboard...)
Got a profile with almost everything unlocked
[/list=1]
The profile appears as follows.

I'm driver No.1 but still 3 Championships are missing:

I've driven ALL the cars, on only one track:
http://www.geocities.com/toxi/pics4total/mbwr-all-02-statistics.txt

The sliders are still around 70-80%:
http://www.geocities.com/toxi/pics4total/mbwr-all-03-character.txt

Still not complete, but now that I'm back home (with my wheel!) I don't have much enthusiasm left for other oval-races to complete the profile ^_^

[DC_Tox]

Ok, I've completed it finally :) , then I removed the statistics (via Hex Editor) and the count of the raced Km from all tracks and cars...so it's ready for use as a blank profile including really all.
