Localization

This version introduces a new language string for when a conflict is detected upon launching the game.

New Hacks

Cancellable Initial Walk

Added this new hack that allows you to interrupt the character walking at the start of a level.

Custom Trigger Actions

Added this new hack. This allows you to bind various custom actions to specific triggers or events with optional conditions.

Letterbox

Added this new hack that allows you to force the game into a specific aspect ratio regardless of the game window's dimensions.

This may prove helpful for speedrunners who want to maximize their game window or play in full screen while forcing the game into 4:3.

No Go To Objective Camera Focus

Added this new hack that disables the game taking control of the camera when you step near the target on foot in a goto stage.

No Main Menu Camera Animations

Added this new hack that disables the camera animations on the main menu.

This hack is requirable as well if a mod calls for it.

No Wrenches

Added this new hack that fully disables wrenches.

One Tap Player Car Death

Added this new hack that makes the player's car get destroyed in one hit.

This hack has various options for what types of thing annihilate the player's car.

Lens Flare
