I have found easy to use software which can convert Russian characters to used in game
(my method was slow and a bit complicated).

To see translation in game:

To clean copy of Steam installation (without Russian files or other mods):
- Install http://qtz.toshiba-3.com/uMaxPack95RPP.zip (for net play try to select wsock32.dll, for Steam overlay reset ddraw to OpenGl)
- Install http://qtz.toshiba-3.com/Unofficial_Carmageddon_Patch.zip with *French (blood)* text (to clean English descriptions).
  [it also replace tracks title images with French one]
- Put my fonts (and more) into game (overwrite)

To convert Russian characters use this: http://www.sobolsoft.com/replaceall/download/setup.exe
(look FindAndReplace.png included in this folder)
1. click on "Load List Of Files From File" and select "rus-qtz.dir.txt"
2. click on "Multiple find and replace (sets)" tab, click on "Load Sets"->"...", select "rus-qtz.set.txt" and press "Load"
3. click on "..." in "Save Files(s) To This Folder" section and select output directory - Carmageddon DATA folder.
4. click on "Start Replacing" and then "OK" :) (don't close this tool if you want to edit Russian text)
Now you can start the game and look how the Russian text look in game :)

When you will modify source text files repeat steps from 1, or if this tool is still running just go to step 4.

PS. Of course this need more files, but I have included only that files which are unique
(other are using same lines, so I will fill those later based on your work).
For SP - files with .SP need to be renamed (in game DATA folder).
For example RACES.SP.TXT to RACES.TXT

POWERUP.TXT is actually SP file, but it work with C1 and SP, so temporarily it is used for both games.
[this file have more powerups and have a bit different setup, common part translation is the same]

ABUSE.TXT need to be placed in game root to work (this is for net game).

DARES.TXT and DARES.SP.TXT are almost the same
- second text have different translation, when first (short) in SP came from beta version
(third text is a copy from C1).

Some menu font is smaller than original, this must be like that due to C1 bug.

NOTE: After conversion the small letters are visible in game as "English",
when capital letters are visible as Russian.

I have also included "messages" folder (in "bitmaps") where all graphics messages are included.
Few are added by me, all are corrected. I hope there are no errors, but if any please let me know.
