Add these command-line switches to activate cheat modes: -allrace - Access to All Races -allcars - Access to All Cars Example: "C:\Midtown\midtown.exe" -allcars -allrace Hex Cheat: First, one has to open the file ui.ar in the Midtown madness directory. At the bottom of the file, one can find the different things such as the placing in the race required to unlock the next set of races as well as how many races it unlocks. There is also the stuff where you can choose how many races you must complete to unlock the cars such as the Panoz GTR-1. Below are the exact co-ordinates of the different vehicles (the offsets may vary in different hex editors, but not by much): The placing in the race to unlock the next race - 012f7b36 How many races it unlocks at once - 012f7b4a VW New Beetle - 012f7b5e City Bus - 012f7c30 Cadillac Eldorado - 012f7d02 Ford Mustang Cruiser - 012f7dde Ford F-350 - 012f7eb0 Ford Mustang Fastback - 012f782 Ford Mustang GT - 012f805e Panoz GTR-1 - 012f813a Panoz Roadster - 012f822a Freightliner Century - 012f82fc Just read from the ANSI text part and edit what one wants. Basically, what everyone whould want is to unlock every vehicle. Simple. Just set the "Unlock Flags" part to "Unlock Flags=0" or 00. In the Panoz GTR-1, set the unlock score to 0000. Even an amateur can drive that car then. It should be pretty simple to edit what one wants other than that. No timer in Blitz mode:----------------------- This cheat makes the timer in blitz mode disappear. It also makes the dashbord disappear. When you are starting the race press your view button and go inside the car. When you are inside look back and while you are doing that press your view button again. Now the timer will be gone. But if you want your time registered, you simply go in the car and just look back. The timer will be running again. This code can also be used on any other race to get a very good time. -GameTips- Tip: If you're finding traffic hard to navigate, get off the road and onto the sidewalk. Most of the vehicles can drive quite nicely on the sidewalks between the guardrails and the lampposts, and you'll find a clear path (this works very well out on Navy Pier). Also, don't worry about crashing into those massive checkpoint posts on the sidewalk--they're invisible (collision-wise) to your vehicle. Tip: If you get into a bump-and-grind situation with an AI car, you'll find yourself losing most of the tussles, even if you have the bigger vehicle. The best tactic is to quickly sideswipe the car, and then swerve away. If you time it right, you can bump the car into oncoming traffic or a building. Tip: The AI-controlled drivers always stay on the road, which means that you'll have great opportunities to cut a few corners here and there (remember, Chicago has plenty of parks!). When you're off-road driving, slow down a bit and try not to make any turns. If you try anything wild on the soft grass, you'll probably spin out and lose any advantage you might have gained. Tip: To win a race, especially a Checkpoint race, you need to know the course. Take on the course in one of the heavier vehicles with no cops and limited traffic, and you'll maximize your chances of making it through the course and learning all of the possible shortcuts. You won't win, but you'll gain vital knowledge that will help you when you go back into the race with a performance vehicle and full obstacles in place. Tip: Vehicle damage is your enemy! There are so many things to hit during the course of the race that you'll often find yourself with a wheelless, smoking hulk of a car before you can finish the race. Try to save your damage points for when you really need them (such as making that jump across Navy Pier) and avoid hitting too many lampposts. |
