Note: These are rough limits, not hard limits.

Minimum/Maximum block length

Sets the number of blocks per segment in a super random dialogue line. Each block averages 1.2ms.

Min/Max Scale

These two options define the lower and upper bounds for the random vehicle scale option.

Vehicle Mass

The mass of the vehicle can effect how it interacts with the ground, the lower the mass value of the vehicle is; the less friction will act upon it making the world an ice rink.
Notice: It is believed that mass affects the toughness of a vehicle.

Gas Scale

The Gas scale is the acceleration of the vehicle if you were to just hold the acceleration button.

Slip Gas Scale

The Slip Gas Scale is the acceleration of a vehicle while it is sliding from speed or through the e-break.

Break Gas Scale

The Break Gas Scale is the breaking speed of a vehicle when it is not sliding or e-breaking.

Vehicle Speed

Provides a value for the top speed of the vehicle.

Wheel Turn Angle

The turn angle of the wheel effects how the vehicle steers, too high of a value being used can cause uncontrollability with a vehicle.

Wheel Grip

The wheel grip controls how the car will drift when it is driving - primarily on acceleration and steering - the higher the grip the more likely the car is to drift.

Steering

This controls the steering of the vehicle.

Slip Steering

This controls the steering of the vehicle while in a drift.

HP

This controls the amount of health that a vehicle has - The Armoured truck in 5-6 has 15 HP.

Car Pools

Random Car Pool - Player

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the player's random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Mission

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the mission random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Traffic

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the traffic random vehicles.

Random Car Pool - Chase

This controls which vehicles are in the random pool for the chase car random vehicles.

Chaos Randomisations

The randomisations in this tab involve substantial changes in gameplay, and can completely affect strategies used in speedruns. In additon they are currently a work in progress and may cause crashes or the game to become unbeatable!

Random interiors

Off by default.
Randomise which interior you enter when entering a building.

Random directives

Off by default.
All mission directive texts are changed to a completely random directive text.

Random missions

Off by default.
The order in which the missions in the level are played is randomised.

Random bonus missions

Off by default.
The order of the bonus mission and street races in the level are randomised.
Can cause region loading issues. If this happens, restart the mission/race.

Random items

Off by default.
The type of item dropped by vehicles in mission is randomised.

Random items - include characters

Off by default.
Random item drops will include character drawables.

Random items - include cars

Off by default.

Misc

Remove car/costume requirements

Off by default.
If this is checked, you won't need to be wearing a specific costume/be driving a specific car to start a mission.
Removes the need for a coin route.

Skip cutscenes (except intro cutscene)

Off by default.
If this is checked, all cutscenes bar the introduction cutscene won't be played.

Increase HP for weak cars

Off by default.
If this is checked weak cars like the rocket car will have their HP slightly boosted so they're not quite as fragile.
It raises the minimum HP to 0.8 for all cars.

Debug level

0 by default.
This controls the verbosity of the console output. 0 will print basic information whereas 5 will print pretty much everything.

Speedrun Mode

Off by default.
If this is checked, certain settings will be forced to the values required for the speedrunning leaderboard.

Verbose debug

Off by default.
If this is checked, debug logs will be verbose. Please use this if you want to assist with bug detecting.

Potential Limitations/Issues

• Missions will spawn you where you start if you restart the mission once, this is because adding a forced car teleports you.

• The list of cars to chose from is built into the script and so if you use mods which add extra cars they won't be chosen, and if a mod removes cars the game will crash if the randomiser picks it.

• Your car will vanish at the end of the mission, even if you are in it. Again this is because of how forced cars work.

• There is a spot where random characters will be sat in mid air. This is due to how passengers/drivers work.
