Getting into the game files
First thing you are going to want to do is get to the main game files. If you know how to do this already you can skip this part. If you are new to this, don't worry, its easy as pie.

1. Right click on the "Next Car Game: Wreckfest" title in your steam library and then click on "Properties"

2. A window should pop up, select the "Local files" tab

3. Click on "Browse Local Files"


4. Step one done!
Finding the A.I names text file
Alright, you made it to the games files! Now lets find that one lone text file that will let you make names for your friends on the track. Lucky for you, I already spent a good 20 min looking for this file so you don't have to! How nice am I, eh?

1. Select the "data" file.



2. Select the "property" file.



3. Select the "career" file.



4. Select "a.i names" text file, open it with notepad.



Easy, No?
Coming up with names
Now, here comes the fun part!






1. Write your names on a seperate line.

Like This ^




Doing very hard maths, you may come to realise that since the game only lets 24 cars on the track at once, that you can only write 24 names. Surprise! You can write more! Keep in mind that any names past line 24 will be thrown in the game at random.


Enjoy!


Keep in mind I made the names letters for this guide because I'm not creative.





Enjoy, Happy racing!

Looks like its only for the older versions of the game, sad, I would like to put my friends' names on the AI, it would be funny

seems it no longer works, even if you do create the files

as previously mentioned, most of the times when you say 'file' they are actually 'folders'. Seems the ai_names* file/s no longer exist so it may be necessary to create them [if this still works]

Second tip:
The file names are now called:
ai_names_career.txt
and
ai_names_general.txt

Just a tip: When talking about "select the data file", "select the property" file.
Those aren't files, they're folders.
So people my get confused telling them to select a file when you meant to say folder.
Otherwise, decent tutorial.

AWESOME, I wanted this! It's the only way to simulate a custom championship (this game has no option to do it yourself!)
