@ZaZ

Hi, I'm getting problems with your new Carset Manager, Glad to see that the WinXP problem was fixed! :D But now when you load any Carset, It CTD's just before getting into the race
Has anyne else been experiencing this?

I do!
It sucks! I can't race no more!
Aaarrghh!

it happened to me the first time i ran it, but its worked fine every other times, perhaps try creating a new carset instead of using your old one.

@Caelen

Tried Deleting and Creating a new carset, but no, It still CTD's. What did you do differently? I'm also interested to see If Ellis has this problem, as he also had the WinXP problem and I'm wondering if its tied in with that.

i dont know what i did but my three carsets 2002,2003,1995 all work perfectly including the options of separate gamestate.sav and camedit sets.

ZAZ, just a question, those files which were in the cars folder are now overridden by the relevent files in the wads ?
i actually used the swap files option to change the files withevery carset but this does not seem necessary, does the carset manager automatically use the files in the wad not the cars directory ?

just on minor issue ive found so far, under win 98 the splash screen comes up and wont go away for up to 15 - 20 seconds, whereas under xp it only displays for 1-2 seconds

CTD's are mainly caused by corrupt wad files. Try to disable the wad files one by one to eliminate the problem. Just rightclick on a carset in the list and choose edit. Then clear the box of the wad files one by one till it works again (hopefully)
Or else you can try to restore your exe file and the switch of options like arm colors etc.. and find out where the problem is.
Although they should work. They have been tested and there were no problems. The only thing that haven't been tested is the point system, because i changed it a little bit just minutes before i released it.
If i screwed up there i'm going to kill myself

@Caelen
yeah you don't need to use the swapfunction for that
it just temporary replaces the files with some file from the wad you are using at that time.
And about the splash time... I have no idea what is causing it atm, but there's a workaround for it. It isn't a real solution but maybe it helps...
Open your carset manager.ini and add a line at the [general] section called
Splashtime=10
just try any number till you're satisfied
Good luck ya all

In reality, doesn't matter who's right but most important is who's left.

Zaz.
a few more things might be needed in csm:
1 track records patch
2 cc setup patch (very important )
3 some other stuff.

ps. i think Ian got it working.

pss.are you related to the zizzer zazzer zuzz?

Thanks for your help ZaZ, it seemed that my GP4 installation was knackerd! So I re-installed and it was fine!

Just a small request for a future version, could you include track specific helmet/steer/arms positions? As at the moment, I like to start off with the 2002 Ferrari then change to Ferrari 2003 half way through the season, but the helmet/steer/arms positions are all wrong when they change!! :P

If you could include that, that would be brilliant.

Thanks again ZaZ!

What did you use to make it?

IanWollam: you can already have different cc setup per carset. the cc setup is stored in the magic data in circuit.dat file so use the swap option to swap over the circuits when you run a new carset.

@Madman271
Yeah sort of...
I was curious how they worked because always was a big fan of it, and did some research. Then wrote a simple program for it which generates a picture of text with random colored noise.
Still have to finish it one day. The latest i've added is that you can use your custom pictures too

@b-tone
Ok
I'm still stuck at one of the first suggestions for csm... (the function which gives the winning lottery numbers)
Maybe i'll have to accept i'm not smart enough for that, and move on to the next item on the list
and uh... zizzer zazzer zuzz? who are they?
I'm only related to my family

@Ianwoollam
Thats one thing that is already on the list, and you are very welcome

@Lanky-Lad
1 brain, 10 fingers, lots and lots of jolt-cola, and some cigarettes.
But i don't think you really mean that? so what do you mean?
Be more specific.

@Caelen
the normal swap function is something different than the trackswap thingy.
Although they both should work, but i'd use the trackswap for tracks if i were you.

Thanks Caelen. solves a ot of problems maybe

ah yes, the tracks option , never saw that, bloody hell there sure are a lot of things available

how do you install the cc setups ot the dat files?
the cc setup editor import/exports to the exe.

do i need to insert a magic file with cmagic?

and why does the editor take it from the exe?



____
Tony

if your going to use magic date you need to have the track ordr set in gpx patch. the cc setup program detects if you have the tracks in the set and automatically decides weather to patch th magicdata or the .exe. the track will be displayed in a different colour depending which. in order to have different setups you would currently have to use the magic data option.

so if theres a tracks.ini file in the gpxpatch folder, the cc editor will then patch the dats?
i'll have a go
