4x4 Evolution

 

Hidden money:

On Farm Road level, go under the train
trestle in the middle of the pond to find
$1500. Note: This works only one time.

On the Restricted Area track, go straight when you pass
through gate 5. After a little driving you will reach an
aircraft hanger with a jet inside. In the corner of the
hanger is a chest of cash.

On the Laguna Del Ray track, off on the right is a small
island just offshore. On top the island is a chest of cash.

Between gate 6 and 7 on the Black Gold track is a fenced-in
area that contains another box of cash. There is an oil truck
nearby it.

When starting on the Treasure Bay track, go over to the beached
tanker boat to the right, and drive around on the water side.
You can find a chest in the side hull, with $666.

On the Truck Stop 101 track, go to the "hidden" highway and
drive alongside the right side of the road. You will eventually
find a chest of cash.

Hints:

Nothing in the Evolution rulebook says you can't forcefully
"aid" a competitor off a bridge, over a cliff, or into
oncoming traffic. Do so as frequently as possible.

This is 4x4 racing, and as such is generally
conducted on surfaces of loose gravel, sand, and dirt.
Drive accordingly; slowing much earlier for corners than
you would in a road racing game and taking turns from the
inside to allow plenty of run-off room.

Until such time as your bank account is absolutely bursting
at the seams and you can afford one of the outrageously
high-priced made for racing machines, don't sweat your choice
of vehicles. Parts upgrades are far more important.

Use the overhead map as a general guide only. Faster routes
are always available, though you shouldn't rely on the AI
drivers to find the best ones.

Edit Cash:

First go into the game and play a bit to earn a little
extra cash, at least $10,000.00 or so.
Now sell your truck. Your should have somewhere
near $40,000.00.

Look in your directory for the following file:
C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

..open the (metal.ini) file using notepad listed in your
accessories folder in Windows. Now save the file in a
temporary folder or on your desktop. Go back into the game
and buy a vehicle and some of the parts you want.
When your cash is low, do the following:

Exit the game and go back into your temporary folder and
open the file named metal.ini and look for a line that says:
Cash=(followed by a series of numbers and letters)

I think the string is specific to the your player profile.
Select the line and copy it. (now this is important only
select the line that says Cash=(and the string of characters
following the equal sign) not the entire file).
Now open the metal.ini file in your:

C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

and look for a line that says:
Cash=(followed by a series of numbers and letters)

Select that line and paste over it the line you copied from
the previous file.

Now save the file and exit notepad. Go back into the game
and like magic you just padded your wallet again. If you
want more cash, like say enough to buy one of race trucks,
just sell your truck again and repeat all of the steps above.
Remember every time you save the current:

C:\programs\Terminal Reality\4x4 Evolution\system\metal.ini

...your increasing the amount of cash you have. You can just
keep doubling the amount of money you have by buying several
trucks, pasting a new line in and then selling the trucks you
bought. Saving that current file into your temporary folder and
then buy more trucks and parts and on and on and on until you
have the amount of cash you want.

If you would like to get instant cash without doing this trick,
try putting in: "re25ykP*g*bCbqRqz*zb1xPz1P+" behind the cash= line to get $2.5 million.
