TRACK RECORD FILES ***************************************************************************** CREDITS ***************************************************************************** Special thanks to the following people for sending me some of the information contained in this document. André de Boer (andredb@molyvos.net) Larry Abels (LJA812@worldnet.att.net) Joe Farr (joefarr@ivga.com) ***************************************************************************** DESCRIPTION ***************************************************************************** The RECORD.TXT file holds the track record information at a track. The file contains several keywords which have the record data listed after them. I will list each keyword as it appears in the file and describe what the data following the keywords mean. The RECORD.TXT file does not exist for IndyCar Racing tracks, which has a RECRD keyword int the TRACK.TXT file that specifies the track records instead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FASTN (Fastest Driver Name) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by the name of the driver who has the fastest lap at this race track. This is shown in the track information window when a track is selected within the game. This value is never modified by the game. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- FASTT (Fastest Time) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by a value that represents the fastest time at this track. This value is the fastest lap time in seconds, assuming three decimal places (for example: 45683 means 45.683 seconds). Note that the time is not equivalent to the actual time it took to make the record, since the distance around the track is different in the game than in real life. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACEN (Human Racer Name) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by the name of the human driver who has the fastest lap at this track. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACET (Human Racer Time) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by another time value representing the fastest time by a human driver at this track. (See FASTT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACEP (???) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword seems to always be exactly the same as the value for RACET. (See FASTT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACEL (???) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by a single data value. I don't know what this value is for yet. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- PLYRN (Player Name) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by a player name. I don't know what this name is here for. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- RACEO (Race Opponent Record) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by the fastest time any opponent (networked human or AI) has had against a human driver at this track. (See FASTT) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- OPPN (Opponent Name) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- This keyword is followed by the name of the opponent who ran the lap time saved after RACEO. ------------------------- -Corey Rueckheim -rueck_cw@cslab.uwlax.edu
