Easy Races

I changed the time limit on all races to 15 minutes for Gold
and I removed all other racers. Now you're just racing against
the clock.

Here is the original script for the first race. It is the motorcycle race at
Huntersfield:

Code:
<Racing>
        <Name>bike_air</Name>
        <Start_Location>diversion_start_sr2_city_race_bike_air</Start_Location>
        <Race_Type>Motorcycle</Race_Type>
        <Opponents>
            <Opponent>
                <Model>npc_young_male_generic</Model>
                <Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Vehicle>
                <Max_Speed>100</Max_Speed>
                </Opponent>
            <Opponent>
                <Model>npc_young_male_generic</Model>
                <Vehicle>bike_standard01</Vehicle>
                <Max_Speed>100</Max_Speed>
                </Opponent>
            <Opponent>
                <Model>npc_young_male_generic</Model>
                <Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Vehicle>
                <Max_Speed>100</Max_Speed>
                </Opponent>
            </Opponents>
        <Rewards>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>1000</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>2500</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>250</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>1500</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>50</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>1000</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            </Rewards>
        <_Editor>
            <Category>Entries</Category>
            </_Editor>
        <Start_Line_Offset>0</Start_Line_Offset>
        <Silver_Time>360</Silver_Time>
        <Bronze_Time>420</Bronze_Time>
        <Acceptable_Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Acceptable_Vehicle>
        <Race_Number>0</Race_Number>
        <Lose_Vehicle></Lose_Vehicle>
        </Racing>

Here is the same script edited so that there are no other racers
and you are racing against a timer:

Code:
<Racing>
        <Name>bike_air</Name>
        <Start_Location>diversion_start_sr2_city_race_bike_air</Start_Location>
        <Race_Type>Motorcycle</Race_Type>
        <Opponents></Opponents>
        <Rewards>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>1000</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>2500</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>250</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>1500</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            <Reward>
                <Money_Reward>50</Money_Reward>
                <Respect_Reward>1000</Respect_Reward>
                </Reward>
            </Rewards>
        <_Editor>
            <Category>Entries</Category>
            </_Editor>
        <Start_Line_Offset>0</Start_Line_Offset>
        <Silver_Time>600</Silver_Time>
        <Bronze_Time>800</Bronze_Time>
            <Max_Time>900</Max_Time>
        <Acceptable_Vehicle>bike_rocket02</Acceptable_Vehicle>
        <Race_Number>0</Race_Number>
        <Lose_Vehicle></Lose_Vehicle>
        </Racing>

All I did was remove the opponents, change the medal times
and added a max_time entry to the script.

==Edit==

Here is version 2 of my Race Mod. This one changes the airplane races into helicopter races
They are still marked as airplane races in the xtbl so you can still unlock the race plane.
All I have done is change the acceptable vehicle to a Tornado. Just open the file and search plane to see what I mean.

Note: As always I don't see why this would mess with your save files, but if concerned start a new save.

Drop the edited file in the '1-MODDERS_-_PUT_YOUR_OWN_PERSONAL_MODS_HERE' directory located in Gentlemen Of The Row/optional_mod_stuff and compile it. Drop your compiled files in your Saints Row 2 folder and enjoy

Happy Racing!

Love it when people include their "how I did this" of their mods. Amazing the game still works despite no opponents! I guess it makes sense for other kinds of "races" - that is, time trials to have that functionality.
 
That's basically what I did. I just swapped some values over from the time trials.

I agree with you about adding the how to sections. I've learned a whole lot from these forums
and I never could have if not for other people sharing their knowledge.
