Whilst bored last night I thought I would make a fun little patch for ANYONE to use.
This is a REALLY simple way for anyone to tweak the nitro levels on the stratos in Deathrace, EVEN if you have no clue about how to map or mod the game.
Just download and have a good read of the read_me.txt
You will have Stratos' going at light speed within minutes
Thanks TB, I was thinking that something similar could be made for custom skins, objects, disco music etc... Could have lots of uses for people who just want a bit of fun without serious mapping or modding involved.. If you download and use please let me know how it goes..

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a great idea. I think it should be possible to add a GUI to this. I'll try to make a little graphical user interface next week (currently a lot of stuff to do for school). Haven't programmed with Windows in ages, let's see what happens. <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited 09 Mar : 21:18 ]</span>
Excellent! I was secretly waiting for someone to say that There are a few things that would need to be added to the GUI to make it perfect.. Thx Cochrane.

Don't get to enthusiastic now, I haven't programmed for Windows for a while. On the other hand, it's mainly just modifiying a text file so it should not be that hard. I'll try.

In case anyone wonders, I'm still working on the GUI. So far, I've only made a little library that decodes a .con-file, allows you to change values and writes it back to a file. The problem is that I'm ill right now and have a lot to do in school, so I could not proceed any further.
Some things that I'd like to know about .con-files: - Is it allowed to have whitespace (like space, tab) at the beginning of a line? - Is there any other way to make a comment, besides starting the line with rem? This is rather important, at the moment I assume that space, tab and newline at the beginning of the line means the line is empty and that comments can only start with rem.
