Carrec

Carrec

The carrec.img file stores a set of R3 files (files with an extension .rrr). These files contain path information used by the mission script for San Andreas and GTA 4. The paths are predefined and look unnatural during gameplay because the movement of the vehicle is very rigid. The paths ignore many stuff in the game including gravity and obstacles.

Original San Andreas installation has 426 R3 paths. Maximum number of these paths is 475. GTA IV increases this limit. By default there are 1813 R3 paths. The limit appears to be located somewhere beyond 3000.

GTA IV does not use an image to store the carrec paths. They are located in the directory ...\common\data\paths\.
