TDR Manual (Eng{B}) 21/11/02 6:04 am

The Subate bosses, aware that the strike hadn’t finished the city-scum, built a wall around theinner-urban area. They constructed a radiation prison. A burning chemical nightmare in whichgangs were rife, criminality the only life, and murder commonplace. The cops would only ventureinto this hell if they considered that the gangs had become capable of manufacturing weapons ortechnology which would give them any chance of escape or the ability to directly challenge thefirepower of the cops themselves. Robbed of ever having another chance at happiness, the coreof the urban areas got worse and worse.

Two worlds, but a universe apart. Once peopled by a single race. And no-one ever crossesbetween them. It can’t be done. It would take a four-wheeling genius with no morals, a killerinstinct and a burning passion to escape. Since the nuking, no such person has existed.

Until now……

Why You’re Here

The beginning of the new Millennium was like the end of the last, only worse. A whole lot worse.Cities swelled, spreading like cancers. Money was made and misery grew. Watched by beaten,apathetic police, crime spiralled and got its hooks into every aspect of urban existence. But mostpeople suffering this anarchy wanted the old values. A safe life; a successful life; a happy life. Sosomething had to give.

The people voted with their feet. They poured their money into new segregated, tightly policedtowns where they could live without fear, watched twenty-four hours a day by CCTV and privatepolice forces. These walled towns were called Subates. Living in them was a haven of crimelessluxury for those who could afford it. And many found that they could afford it. The cities wereemptied of people until all that was left was the dross, the dregs, the poor and the scum. Theirhatred of society, each other, the police and the luxurious Subate fortresses drove them to furtherexcesses of lawlessness.

Soon they had almost total control of the cities and were moving out, threatening the Subatesthemselves. The private security forces could not hope to face the wrath of such chaotic despera-tion and an executive decision was taken. From launchers in low orbit, multiple tactical nuclearwarheads rained down on the inner cityscapes. Millions died, most of whom were innocent. Theywere lucky. The survivors, torn and twisted by fallout and mutation, held on in an existence ahundred times worse than the hellish world they’d made for themselves before the atomic strike.

These beings were no longer officially classed as human. The walking dead, they were deniedmedical help and left to suffer their agonising injuries. But life did not leave the cities. The sur-vivors grew in strength and number as more pulled themselves from the rubble and from densunderground.

Their resentment for those in the Subates turned into obsessive hatred. It was this desire forvengeance that kept many of them alive. One day they hoped they would be powerful enough tothreaten again the cosy world of the wealthy in their towns.

Target Lock

If you decide you’ve had enough of a particular opponent and want to focus your destructiveenergy on them use the ‘y’ key to cycle through each opponent until you find your target – this isdisplayed in the bottom left of the screen in the main game. It tells you how close your target isto you, what their state of mind is & how much more you have to pound them into submission.To return to normal automatic targeting hit the ‘t’ key.

Options Screens

Graphics

If necessary you can increase the performance ofCarmageddon® TDR 2000 by:• Turning off car shadows• Turning off land shadows• Reducing the detail• Reducing the draw distance

Sound

This option screen allows you to balance the games soundeffects (Engine Volume) against the CD Audio (MusicVolume). The audio in the game has also been enhancedeither for speakers or headphones and you should select theappropriate option to benefit from this.

Mission Objectives

Every mission is different and the movie at the start of each explains just what you need to do tocomplete that mission. Watch the movie carefully as it gives clues to the location of the mission’sgoals. Every mission is timed very tightly so you have to be quick. Knowing the map will alwayshelp in a mission as the fastest route isn’t always the most obvious one. In nearly all the mis-sions, the next objective is shown on the map. Pressing the ‘TAB’ button, takes you to a fullscreen map. Pressing the ‘TAB’ button a second time, takes you back to full screen play.

Saving Games

You can save a game at the end of each race or mission.

Power-Ups

In Carmageddon® TDR 2000 you will come across many power-ups in both the races & the mis-sions. Many of these are beneficial and will buy you extra time, give you cash or helpful weaponsof destruction. Some power-ups are also going to hinder more than help. You can learn which iswhich to a certain extent by playing the game, although some power-ups are random and thenyou just have to hope for the best!

A number of power-ups in the game are also keyboard triggerable, this means you get to chosewhen to use them. Use the ‘;’ and ‘’’ keys to select which power-up to use if you have picked upmore than one. To actually trigger the power-up use the ‘Alt’ key. The power-up’s are shown asglowing 3D icons. The "Clock" gives you time bonuses, the "wads of bills" gives you creditbonuses, the "spanner" gives you vehicle power-up’s.

In-GameMini Map

The mini-map is your quick guide to:• The next checkpoint – this is shown as a white arrow on the mini-map. You can also see awhite radar pulse, which also helps to indicate your next checkpoint.

• The nearest opponent – when these can’t be seen on the screen they’re shown as a red arrowon the mini-map. The position of the arrow on the edge of the map gives you an indication of thedirection you need to go in to find that opponent.In the missions your next objective is also highlighted with a white arrow & a radar pulse.

Main Map

This shows the complete overview of the current area. It also shows you the location of all your liveopponents using a red marker & the remains of the opponents you have trashed using a black mark-er. The next checkpoint & its number in the sequence can be seen on this map - it’s also highlightedby a radar pulse. If you stir up enough trouble for the cops to appear their indicators are blue.

Buying New Cars

At the end of every race you’re taken to the wrecks gallery. Ifyou’ve been careful with your money you can buy any of thecars that you trashed in that race. They’re not cheap so you’llneed to win a few races to buy new cars.

The Garage

This is where you keep your vehicles (surprised?) Once you have bought a vehicle, you canchoose to drive it in the next race. It’s also the place where you can choose to spend some ofyour hard earned cash upgrading your vehicles by buying APO….

APO

This is your cars Armour, Power and Offensive capacity, basically meaning how much damageyou can take, how fast you can go & how much damage you can inflict. APO is shared across allthe cars in your garage. You need to buy slots for each of these options and then spend cash fill-ing those slots. Alternatively you can win slots and gain upgrades by finding power-ups hiddenaround the maps. These are usually in hard-to-find locations, so it’s well worth exploring if youcan buy yourself the time.
