Wrote about the history of our #Carmageddon community, the CWA. A long story probably similar to many other #retrogaming communities.

While Dethrace RE isn't 100% here yet, I updated the good ol' #Carmageddon Meld Pack. Play C1+SP, switch between resolutions and humans/zombies/robots. Topic: www.cwaboard.co.uk/viewtopic.ph...
Huge thanks to Maarten, Errol, FunkyFr3sh and hifi.

Listed the #Carmageddon render buffer as an available texture in the #BRender registry. First presented here used on the Stadium giant screen. Then as a reflective texture on the Jet car (with added BRender CLUT).

You believe them when they tell you about their modern game engines. But really it's all just been #BRender. They don't want you to know that.

Back in the days, even the #Carmageddon community had its japanesecounterpart. People like @rikusyo.bsky.social and DOZON made weird novelty stuff that we still remember today.

Not sure why, 2 years ago I started porting TDR 2000's Soul Harvester to #Carmageddon 2. Decided to finish it. So-so model and textures but it's got some character. I had some fun setting it up in a way that kept the damaged textures, and the animated AND distorted shredders.
Soul Harvester ported from TDR 2000 to Carmageddon 2, posing at the top of junkpile in the Junkyard level. Damaged Soul Harvester with flames coming from the cockpit. Soul Harvester assaulted by Monster Beatle, Supastuka and Twister 2 in Carmageddon 2. Damaged Soul Harvester driving over and crushing the Hawk Mk3 in Carmageddon 2.

Actually while I was at it, I also ported the Vice City Linerunner to #Carmageddon 2. I like these GTA models, they are nicely optimized. Same sentiment as messing with GT2 models.
Must admit the lighting in TDR works a bit better with these textures.

6 colour variations of the same Linerunner truck from GTA Vice City, but ported in Carmageddon 2. A piss coloured Linerunner crash-landing very elegantly engine-first into shallow water.

First time I integrated skins into a TDR mod. And yes the black one is basically Darkside considering the driver is Mr. Ash.

Ported Grave Digger from MTM2 and Linerunner from GTA Vice City to uh TDR 2000 but it's for Mugzy's Rage-O-Rama mod, I swear.

In Carmageddon 2, forcing something the game can't render on an object will make it look for the material of the closest object, possibly under the same parent node. This means creating such an effect on the main model makes it use nearby objects' materials.

Long overdue tweet about the CarmaTools Maxscript Pack for #Carmageddon 1 & 2, and importing/exporting #BRender models & scenes. This changed everything for Carma modding. Thanks for everything, Harmalarm!

The few additional levels and assets presented in the simple 3D views were found amongst Carmageddon 2 development files. Plaything2, the Carmageddon editor, also features tools to set Arena characters up.

More details: wiki.cwaboard.co.uk/wiki/Arena_AD I think this game could have been really great! And a good entry in Stainless' portfolio after Carmageddon. In most people's mind they are associated with vehicular combat and the Magic games.
