The game archive

All the game content is in Carz.res. It can be opened with 7-Zip.
This game is 400 megabytes because developers duplicated many times textures for every track.


Let's analyze archive's content:

  • Carz.exe - The game executable... why again?
  • mss32.dll - Microsoft sound system DLL (?)
  • r3dlog.txt - An old game log dated 2003...
  • SCENE3D.INI - Screen resolution and bit depth (?)
Data:

  • Cars - All the cars with 3D models, materials and textures
  • Fonts - All the fonts in BMP and DAT format
  • Images - Some various textures but... why they left the PSD originals and even a spash screen from "Midnight Race Club"???
  • Menu - UI Textures
  • Sounds - Sounds Effects
  • Tracks - I will describe this later
