This page describes the high score file formats in Wacky Wheels.
Single-player race
Single-player race high scores are saved in wacky1.hi for 12 hp engines and wacky2.hi for 6 hp engines.
If deleted, these files are created by copying the appropriate *.htt file from wacky.dat. wac1.htt is the default wacky1.hi file, and wac2.htt is the default wacky2.hi file.
Each file contains 144 of the following structures:
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| INT16LE | unknown | A number between 1 and 6. I don’t think this number is used for anything. |
| INT16LE | racer | 0=Uno, 1=Sultan, 2=Morris, 3=Peggles, 4=Razer, 5=Ringo, 6=Blombo, 7=Tigi |
| INT16LE | score | Player’s score |
| char[20] | date | The date, in the format 01 SEP 1994, or whatever other text you want to enter. Should be null-terminated after 12 characters for the text to fit the screen. |
| char[20] | name | The player’s name. 14 characters will fit on the screen. |
The structures come in groups of four, because the top four scores are displayed on each “famous drivers” screen. Every other group of four structures is unused.
- The first group of four structures give the four highest scores for the regular bronze courses, amateur class.
- The second group of four structures is unused.
- The third group is for the regular bronze courses, pro class.
- The fourth group is unused.
Next is regular bronze courses, champion class, followed by regular silver courses, amateur class, etc. After the regular gold courses, champion class, the bonus pack course high scores start.
Duck shoot
Duck shoot high scores are stored in wacky.dtt. If deleted, the file is created using default names and scores in ww.exe.
The file contains four of the following structures:
| Data type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| char[20] | player | Player’s name |
| INT32LE | score | Number of points |
The four names and scores are displayed just before starting a duck shoot.
Time trial
The fastest time trial times are saved in wacky1.tim for 12 hp engines, and wacky2.tim for 6 hp engines.
The file wac1.ott in wacky.dat is the default wacky1.tim and wac2.ott is the default wacky2.tim.
