Not really. Everyone takes this race:
...
I guess you could fiddle around with NRSE and NAS, and changing PRT's at least theoretically an option even if the HE will basically always win, but all other options have a clear "optimum" if you don't consider the points. I wasn't suggesting the race design was in any way not obvious. Just that it would be interesting to have everyone on such extreme but equal footing.
ricks03 wrote on Mon, 04 May 2020 06:23StarsRace.pl will pull that data out for you. I did just give a try to reading a race in, and then pushing it back out without changing it. That I can do. But I'm corrupting the file somewhere when I change other bytes in it. I recall I can't change the password in a .r file either even though I can reset it in .m, .hst, and .x files. I think it's tied to the same thing that causes race file corruption. Sorry. After I change a .r file in any way stars reports it as corrupt.
magic9mushroom wrote on Mon, 04 May 2020 01:25The issue is, as raptor said, the checksum. To check for race file corruption or hacking the game makes a number which depends on all the settings, and if recalculating it from the actual settings doesn't match it rejects it as corrupt. I'll perhaps suggest that explaining what a checksum is might be a bit over the top. I'm familiar with both the concept, and the issue. I just hadn't dealt with it in many years, so forgive me for not remembering the specifics off the top of my head when trying to just quickly kick out code for someone asking for a favor. . .
