Motorhead demo: 4 great tips to make this demo a little bit more worth your time...

4 posts by 3 people · 13 May 1998 - 14 May 1998

Although it's not really worth the trouble, here are 4 tips for the Motorhead demo. 1. Turn around at the start of the race. You can drive on for 3 minutes now, instead of only 1 lap. 2. The left control key is the handbrake: use this one to get around the corners fast. You can really skid around those bends, bettter than with the down arrow. Only use the down arrow if you have to drive backwards. 3. When you get the message 'Time up' (or when you've finishes your 'race'), immediately press Ctr-Alt-Del and end the game from the pop-up menu. This way you won't get that VERY ANNOYING exit screen that's locked for 10 seconds... 4. This one's from RHYS CASH! (Although I had the same idea, only for some reason it didn't work when I first tried it: maybe I made a typing mistake... It works now, though!). It gives you another track, Atlantika, to race on (the track you see in demo mode). I changed his info a bit, so you can easily switch between the two tracks. Step 1: Make two new directories in your Motorhead demo dir: call them Goldbridge and Atlantika. Step 2: copy the complete Track 8 dir from the Motorhead/Tracks dir to Goldbridge copy the complete Track 4 dir from the Motorhead/Tracks dir to Atlantika and rename it to Track 8 Step 3: in Atlantika/track8 rename Atlantika_move.lws to goldbridge_move.lws Step 4: Copy the contents of Goldbridge/track8/Data/halos to Atlantika/track8/Data/halos Step 5: in Atlantika/track8/data rename Okksea0.dta to Gold0.dta Okksea1.dta to Gold1.dta Okksea2.dta to Gold2.dta Okksea3.dta to Gold3.dta Atlantika.FLG to Goldbridge.FLG Atlantika.TGA to TrioSky.TGA okksea.iff to gold.iff Step 6: in Atlantika/track8/Hardware rename ATLANTIKA.MYW to GOLDBRIDGE.MYW Step 7: in Atlantika/track8/Motions rename okkcscam.MOT to extcam.mot okksea2.mot to trioval.mot Step 8: in Atlantika/track8/Objects rename Atlantika.col to goldbridge.COL Atlantika.lob to goldbridge.lob Atlantika.srf to goldbridge.SRF Step 9: if you want to race on Atlantika, copy the complete Track 8 dir from the Atlantika dir to the original Track directory (overwriting everything) if you want to race on Goldbridge, copy the complete Track 8 dir from the Goldbridge dir to the original Track directory (overwriting everything) Step 10: Run the game and play! BTW: You can delete the Motorhead/Tracks/Track 4 dir if you're not planning to view the demo. Saves some more precious HD space... Jeroen van Engelenhoven
I also agree with your comments on the NICE2 demo; I think it's pretty classy of them to put a demo like this out even if it is in German at the moment! I just hope the final game lets you select higher resolutions with Voodoo 2 cards.I think both of these are going to be great arcade racers and I'll probably be buying them both. They might be silly arcade racers, but I think there's a world of difference between these two and ***like Test Drive 4, Psygnosis F1 and others that I can't even remember the names of. Just my personal opinion of course. -- Scott's Photo Gallery http://www.soltec.net/~goatboy [link lost in import]
