1994 mod csm config question

Hi guys!

It may sound strange but 1994 mod project is not dead and we're continuing our work. Working on it i came across a problem and i need your help.

I created a larrousse rsm gp version. I created a folders for shape and textures and put the files into corrsponding folders. But when i run the game i see that game uses correct textures on a wrong shape - brazilian gp. So i assume that somewhere in config files of the mod is written that larrousse should use bra gp shape for rsm gp. But i cannot find this config - i'm not that fluent with csm. So i'm asking for your help - can you please check the mod and told what modifications i need to do?

Thanks in advance!

i'm not really sure,but i think you should try to give a look at 1994\Data\Cars and open Default.ini or Config.ini.You should edit one of those lines(about larousse)

make sure the folder for the car is named correctly = imola

If in doubt, edit the file above and add line cartrack3=imola

In folder:
1994\Data\Cars\Larrousse\Default.ini

NOW is like that:

[Vars]
cardefault =Interlagos

texdefault =Interlagos

----------------------------------------

You SHOULD put like that:

[Vars]
cardefault =Interlagos
cartrack3 =Imola

texdefault =Interlagos
textrack3 =Imola

---------------------------------------

In all races, Larrousse will use the Interlagos shape (because is default), but in Imola the team will use the Imola shape and the Imola texture because is the race 3 and the configs sets to use that specific texture on race 3.

Please post if it works!

thanks for ideas!

yes, i understand that it's something in cars\default.ini, but 94 had 26 cars while gp4 only allows 22 so there's some difficult lines with variables etc. I stept some time looking at it but failed to find a solution - maybe you could take a look at this certain file and try to figure out how to fix it?

McKey, I send to you a PM with some "ideas" about the 11th team.... you can look at them or I can make this things for you.

Anyway, Tony is the "guy to do the CSM stuff".

P.S: By the way, where's Tony?

still no success with my trouble. :-(

i checked both cars\default.ini and cars\larrousse\default.ini and could find anything special in them. for all other cars i just create folders imola for shape and textures, put it there and it works. and somethings wrong here.

any more ideas?

The default.ini files inside the cars folders in this mod doesn't work.
In the .csm file there's only
Cars\Default.ini
So that's the only file csm will look at.
All changes to Cars\Larrouse\Default.ini won't change anything unless you replace the line in the .csm file with something like this
Cars\Default.ini,Cars\Larrouse\Default.ini
This way, csm will look in the default.ini first and then look in the larrouse folder default.ini.
It happens to be that the larrouse team is optional and controlled via a variable, so instead of writing a very long line in the .csm file you could do something like this:
Cars\Default.ini,Cars\%team11%\Default.ini
Then it will also look into the 'Default.ini' file for the selected 11th team.
This way it will probably work, but it might have some drawbacks.

Tony has made a pretty complex config and I only spent a small hour on it to understand.
You can not just select the 11th team but also combinations of, for example, the best qualifiers of 2 teams.
Pretty cool, but a tad complex.

I have probably overlooked something, so I'd advice to stick with his standard concerning the 11th team.
Which is the following (declared in the cars\default.ini) :

For now, in the race specific folder create 2 folders "Driver1" and "Driver2"
Inside both of them there are 2 folders "Car1" (for the car1 lods) and "Car2" for the car2 lods.
Place your files there.

There are some errors in the config (probably due to copy/paste from other mods) and by no means this mod is easy to read.
It's pretty nifty though, but will require some more investigating to understand it thoroughly and to come with a 'better' solution.
But for now, i'd just stick with tony's 11th team standard.

Thanks a lot mate for your help!

I really forgot that need to create additional folders for minnows teams. I haven't tried your solution yet, but i think this will surely help.

Once again thank you ZaZ!
