Here it is folks! A collection of some neat 22 secrets in Carmageddon II!
Yet, by "SECRET" I mean: "Something that not everybody knows about".
Keep that in mind. So, because of that, many of these secrets are stupid, and almost everyone knows them. Yet still, I guess it's worth watching.

The structure for each of the secret's intro is:
"Secret Nº [N] - [Place]
[Name]"
"Discovered by myself" (probably someone already discovered this, yet, I am not stealing their found; I found it by myself.)/"Discovered by [Name]"/"Not a discovery" (It's such a poor secret, that almost only newbies to Carmageddon II don't know it.)

I put a personal rating in each clip, to show that I KNOW that secret Nº X is crap. So, if you want to comment something like "Hey! I loved all the secrets, except for X, that one really sucks!", you don't need to, I already know that.

@SlashButcher I see. Also, Carma TDR isn't the last game...

You probably already heard this, but a new Carmageddon game has been announced a month ago. Go to the official Carmageddon website to check it out.

@srb2Espyo To be honest this resolution thing thats the most common problem in carmageddon 2 3dfx mode. When I was playing this game back in 1999 i had to manually change resolution in windows 98SE settings. The game was always running not stable, several freezes, problems I had even on dedicated Voodoo Banshee graphic card back in the day.Too bad that poor Carma TDR was the last release of this game. Yet C2 is the best and one and only game with such gameplay. I'm glad that I could be of help:)

[srb2Espyo]

@SlashButcher Well, I knew it wasn't quite a typical issue with the game itself, but it was an issue with 3DFX. Thanks for the tip, that did the job! As for custom cars, I tried adding some in the past, and IIRC, I never had any problems. But hey, at least they work.

How awesome is that? We both helped ourselves out!

[SlashButcher]

@srb2Espyo Thats a typical carmageddon 2 issue with the cursor. It's because carmageddon 2 runs in 640x480 resolution. You have to right click on CARMA_HW.exe and go to properties and set to run in 640x480 resolution. Apart of minimap, i have also bugs since i added some custom cars. To change a car after finished race i have to restart the game, otherwise will crash, but i got used to it. Minimap was most important. So this time I hope I could help you ;)

[srb2Espyo]

@SlashButcher Glad to know it worked. But tell me, is your cursor limited to just a small rectangle in the top-left portion of the game's window, or is it just me?

[SlashButcher]

@srb2Espyo This Zeckensack's glide worked perfectly! Now I see the minimap finally. Thanks a lot for your help. Just a matter of one file.. Yet carmageddon 2 was one of the most problematic games. Thanks again man!

[srb2Espyo]

@SlashButcher Well, I downloaded zeckensack's Glide wrapper. The website is all blue and such... also, I use Windows 7. But even when I first tried Glide, it was with Windows XP, and I'm pretty sure I had the minimap on.

[SlashButcher]

@srb2Espyo Maybe i'm using wrong glide file. If u could send the one u are using that would be cool. Are u running it on Win XP ?

[srb2Espyo]

@SlashButcher My bad, End is not indeed the default key.

Well, I tried downloading Glide again, and the minimap appears fine. I do however have some trouble with the mouse cursor: it can only move in a small space in the screen. So as you can see, even I'm having a bit of trouble with Glide. But I still find it odd that I can see the minimap and you can't...

[SlashButcher]

@srb2Espyo Yes I tried moving it, even on (visible) D3D mode i tried to move it out of view - you can't. Options.txt can only 1 = turn on and 0 = off. In both versions of this game i had, with zombies and with people, toggle minimap key was always assigned as M key. End is buying an extra power if there are empty slots available. Also is not an issue with resolution because i run 3dfx mode in 640x480 and I don't have problems with mouse cursor as It was typical running it on higher resolutions.
