GPL new track question...

5 posts by 3 people · 31 Jul 2000 - 31 Jul 2000 19:28 UTC

Hi: Just bought GPL and I love it! Runs great with my system with all details maxed out (Dell XPS500). The learning curve is steep, but very rewarding once you get that 4-wheel drift going. I downloaded a track (Sears Point) from a site however, the only instructions were to copy the files to the track directory. I created a subdirectory for the new track but, when I started GPL, I couldn't find it. Anybody can help me with this. TIA, Cuco

In the seasons folder you have to edit the file:67'Season.ini, and add the event with the same entries as are in the other tracks. there will be a list in the file. Come and visit our fine racing community when you get some tracks down well at: http://vroc.net/. Hope this works for you. Johnny Ackerman "Ramon L. Negron" wrote:

You also need to change the number of events in the first line (add 1 of course!) make a new directory in the 'tracks' sub-directory called searspt Put all the track files in there Then add the following lines to the end of both your 67season.ini and your GP.ini (both in your seasons directory) replacing XX with the total number of events, matching the number in the first line (if you see what i mean:))) [EventXX] name=Sears Point Grand Prix shortname=Sears GP trackDirectory=searspt month=1 day=2 numberOfLaps=80 startingGrid=4 Ramon L.
