Easy Races

[Unapologetic Miscreant]

I changed the time limit on all races to 15 minutes for Gold
and I removed all other racers. Now you're just racing against
the clock.

Spoiler: Mini Tutorial

Here is the original script for the first race. It is the motorcycle race at
Huntersfield:

<Racing>
<Name>bike_air</Name>
<Start_Location>diversion_start_sr2_city_race_bike_air</Start_Location>
<Race_Type>Motorcycle</Race_Type>
<Opponents>
<Opponent>

<Acceptable_Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Acceptable_Vehicle>
<Race_Number>0</Race_Number>
<Lose_Vehicle></Lose_Vehicle>
</Racing>

Here is the same script edited so that there are no other racers
and you are racing against a timer:

<Racing>
<Name>bike_air</Name>
<Start_Location>diversion_start_sr2_city_race_bike_air</Start_Location>
<Race_Type>Motorcycle</Race_Type>
<Opponents></Opponents>

<Money_Reward>1000</Money_Reward>
<Respect_Reward>2500</Respect_Reward>
</Reward>

<Money_Reward>250</Money_Reward>
<Respect_Reward>1500</Respect_Reward>

<Start_Line_Offset>0</Start_Line_Offset>
<Silver_Time>600</Silver_Time>
<Bronze_Time>800</Bronze_Time>
<Max_Time>900</Max_Time>
<Acceptable_Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Acceptable_Vehicle>
<Race_Number>0</Race_Number>
<Lose_Vehicle></Lose_Vehicle>
</Racing>

All I did was remove the opponents, change the medal times
and added a max_time entry to the script.

==Edit==

Here is version 2 of my Race Mod. This one changes the airplane races into helicopter races
They are still marked as airplane races in the xtbl so you can still unlock the race plane.
All I have done is change the acceptable vehicle to a Tornado. Just open the file and search plane to see what I mean.

Note: As always I don't see why this would mess with your save files, but if concerned start a new save.

Drop the edited file in the '1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE' directory located in Gentlemen Of The Row/optional_mod_stuff and compile it. Drop your compiled files in your Saints Row 2 folder and enjoy

Happy Racing!

Love it when people include their "how I did this" of their mods. Amazing the game still works despite no opponents! I guess it makes sense for other kinds of "races" - that is, time trials to have that functionality.

That's basically what I did. I just swapped some values over from the time trials.

I agree with you about adding the how to sections. I've learned a whole lot from these forums
and I never could have if not for other people sharing their knowledge.

Version 2 Changes the airplanes to Helicopters.
