Custom Special Demolition Derby

[Unapologetic Miscreant]

This is a reworking of the Special Derbys that unlock after you beat the
6 regular Demolition Derby instances. (Note The Derby names are from the
demoderby_sp.xtbl - They are not the same as the in game names.)

I have renamed all of the special Derbys and added vehicles to most of them
and replaced all of the vehicles in others.

01. The Monster Trucks Derby is now the Keep On Trucking Derby
The original derby was only Atlasbreakers. Thouroughgood,
Compensator and Legion have been added.

02. The Golf Cart Derby is now Cart Blanche (pardon the bad pun)
The original derby was only Golf Carts. Quota, Knoxville and
Bag boy have been added.

03. The SUV derby is now the Tailgate Trauma Derby. Mag was changed to
Quasar. The Alaskan was changed to the Bulldog

04. The Semi Trucks Derby has been replaced by the Tonka Toys Derby.
The original derby was only Peterliners. Mule and Longhauler have
been added

05. The Sportscar Derby is now Municipal Mayhem. Cars replaced with
Peacekeeper, Titan, Firetruck,, Stilwater Municipal and Septic
Avenger.

06. The Muscle Cars Derby is now the Popo A Gogo.All cars replaced.

08. The Shortbus Derby is now the Transportation Tango. The original derby

09. The Dozer Derby is Now Reaper Madness. The original was only the
Bulldozer. It has been removed and the Reaper and Hounfor has been added.

10. The Metermaid Derby is now Limozeen Lunacy. It was originally a quota.

All that I had to do was add the entries for the new vehicles.

There is another entry further down in the file that you need to edit to change the
names of the individual derbys.

To change the name of the derby just change the Localized_Name line.

It's a nice list. But I feel there's a few missed opportunities.

The Brotherhood Beatdown - Compensator, Alaskan, Legion, Swindle

The Ronin Road Rage - Wakizashi, Hayate Z70

The Samedi Showdown - Wellington, Churchill, Danville, Stiletto

The Turf War - Atlasbreaker, Zircon, Hounfor, The Job

First off, thank you for the kind words.

In a way, reading one of your ideas is what inspired the mod. I was thinking about your fast food wars idea.
Unfortunately there just weren't enough fast food vehicles to implement it within the derby. There is no way to specify
a variant that I could find, although
to be fair I didn't really try too hard to find one.

I did try to use the Hounfor for Reaper Madness, but couldn't get it to spawn.
I think it is because each vehicle needs either a beater or a standard variant.

(edit 11/26/2024: The Hounfor has been added. I made a typo in the demoderby_sp.xrbl. It is corrected now.)

I haven't found a way to load the gang variants within the derby xtbl. The only reason I could load the Hounfor is that it has it's own cvtf file.

I like your idea of adding the gang aspect to the derbys as well as the names you have chosen. They would be a wonderful addition.

So if you, or anyone else, figures out a way around the variant issue, feel free to build and post it.

Also, thank you for the feedback.

*Edit*

After I wrote and posted my reply it dawned on me, that if you could figure out which variant the activity uses you could just set that variant to use the gang decals.

That would require modding and crunching the vehicle files after setting
the decal weights to 100, which would mean that all instances of that variant on the streets would spawn with the same decals, but if you have no problems with that then you can create most of your derbys.

Derby has been updated. The Reaper Madness Derby now features the Hounfor.
Township Trauma has been renamed. (link in first post)

For anyone interested in playing Demo Derby in the open world instead of the arena here is a tip for you
You can go into the cts files and change the coordinates or you could use either sandbox+ (Idolninja) or sandbox++ (NClok1405) and after choosing your car and entering the derby use a teleport code such as 111 (airport) and it will
teleport you and the other cars into the open world. The cars, which are marked with red dots, will be scattered across the hud map, (You can't open the full screen map while the activity is ongoing.)

Sandbox+ for Saints Row 2

What is Sandbox+ for Saints Row 2? Sandbox+ for Saints Row 2 is based on the SRTT version and will likely mirror many of the features. Currently it allows you to teleport to any of the different districts or cribs in the game, and swap out chunks (zones.) Readme: WARNING! THIS IS AN ALPHA...
