Destruction Derby 1/2 mod for Carmageddon 2
First off, for preveiw of earlier versions, see following videos:

DD1 mod part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RZrpxkhmY8
DD2 mod part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPppLTF6dC4

Both versions are within same mod, only with difference launchers. One for DD1 cars, one for DD2 cars.

A guy named Harmalarm have for some time developed a mod for our beloved Carmageddon 2. This mod is a total convention, and it's a own game now. The mod is sized 12 MB, but it is possible to download the DD2 intro movie and use that if wanted.

To quote the relase post, found on http://devwam.toshiba-3.com/viewtopic.php?id=334&p=10 :

Yes people, after long and hard work it is finally there! The unlimited, fully featured final release of the Destruction derby Total conversion for Carmageddon 2
it has been a long run. Starting in December 2009 with an initial idea of just creating one track and a car pack, the mod started growing. With a lot of patience and devotion to both game franchises I was able to recreate all cars and tracks to full detail. With help of people from the Carmageddon community the mod got it's final funky touches, enabling YOU to play destruction derby on the Carmageddon engine.
The Carmageddon engine features a more dynamic damage system. Meshes can deform randomly, the different texture stages and scrap material make each crash chaotic looking.
The replay function makes it possible to relive every action from any angle, specially useful for all those movie makers out there!
Modern day systems have a hard time dealing with old games, but with the help of a good glide wrapper the mod can be played smoothly and with high resolution!
for windows xp and vista users, the Glide wrapper from Zeckensack is a good option; www.Zeckensack.de/glide
For windows vista and windows 7, NGlide is preferable. http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide/
MOD FEATURES
The mod features 13 racetracks, 6 from destruction derby 1 and 6 from destruction derby 2. For pure anhialation you can do some damage on the 5 different bowls, 1 from dd1 and 4 from dd2.
There are two different game car modes, dd1 or dd2 cars. Apart from the original franchise, you can now play with ALL the cars you want.
LAN play is working! And yes, VLAN is also possible, but only if you have a very high speed internet connection.
The rest of the game has been fully modified. All sounds and menu images have been replaced and even the gameplay physics have been altered to suit a destruction derby enviroment.

What was the hamachi servers name again? Wanna try the newest one online, maube it could fix my horrible lag : P
This is bitchass. Seriously.

I'd urge everyone who enjoyed the first two DD games to get this; a truly astounding piece of work from one of the best Dutch C2 enthusiasts of recent times.
OT: Jon606, is that a pillow moog in your avatar?

The next BBQC2 installation is able to run with the very latest Hamachi² version (no need for that old version anymore thus). Thanks to Stifado ofcourse.

A new Hamachi room has been created, a managed one this time.
The network id is: 038-969-673 (enter this where you usualy type the room name)
There is no password.

Sadly even if it's a managed network there's still that annoying 16 users limit, so from time to time I guess I'll evict some users, if it happens to be you, don't take it personaly and join back!

You can download the latest Hamachi² by clicking here.

i'd host the server if they like....


ill give them 20 mbps net ( up and down ) (enough for a hundred or so ?


all you gotta do is ask and you shall recieve
A dedicated Hamachi server? That's real kind of you, and I think it would be fun having one

I think there is a limit on Hamachi free version, on like 16-20+ users pr. network or something.. but tbh. I think that's fair enough.

So, give it a go?
whatever program you guys use, ill host and have on almost all the time ( excluding the usual pc maintenence... provider downtime electricity cut outs etc )
Hamachi seems to be the best suitable program, since the launchers within the game are set to work with it. If there are other programs that emulates LAN networks they probally could do the same trick
