driverParam.bin

driverParam.bin is a sub file of /Race/Common.szs. It contains a list of driver statistics. It is also found into the parameter folder from Award.szs, Event.szs, Globe.szs, MenuMulti.szs, MenuOther.szs, MenuSingle.szs and Present.szs from the /Scene/UI folder.

File Format

Format of a driverParam.bin file

Offset	Size	Description
0x00	4	N = Number of drivers.
0x04	N*4*99	N section offsets. Each section is composed of 99 floats representing driver statistics. Only 22 floats contain data*.
0x29C8		End of file with N=27 drivers

* The format is the same as the sections of kartParam.bin, however the tire number, drift type, camera mode, unknown field at 0xC, bump deviation level, tilt strength, held item distances, traction, vertical tilt unknown field at 0x184 and front & rear tire distance are ignored by the game's code.

Driver Statistics

• Weight: How heavy a vehicle is.
• in Turn: How high a stat is in a turn (not drifting).
• Speed: How high the top speed of the vehicle is.
• Acceleration: How quickly the vehicle's top speed is achieved from a non-moving position.
• Drift: How tight the vehicle turns while using the drifting maneuver.
• Handling: How tight the vehicles can normally turn (not drifting).
• Traction: How strong frictional forces are between the vehicle's tires and the road such as rolling resistance.
• Mini-Turbo: When using the manual drift option, how long a mini-boost will last.
• Off-Road Speed: How much speed the vehicle retains when off of the track. Each value corresponds to a KCL flag.
• Off-Road Handling: How much handling the vehicle retains when off of the track. Each value corresponds to a KCL flag.
