newbie question: night racing Nascar

> Night racing only appears if you play the whole season. When you get >to the race that is in reality run at night in the schedule, you run >at night. Alternatively, there is a file on Compuserve, which may be >available somewhere on the net, that lets you run at night, but I >haven't tried it and therefore cannot attest to it. The file is called "nasnite.zip", and should be at the standard ftp sites. It's simple to install, but note that you must have access to a hex editor to install it. This file will actually let you race *any* of the tracks at night, though many of them seem dark and gloomy since there aren't any lights. C***te, Richmond, and Bristol, however, are very impressive at night. -Brad Traweek

Well, even some standard editors like emacs have hex-editing modes (in emacs it's Esc-x-hexl-mode), but for something DOS-based the Norton Utils. hex-editor (called 'DiskEdit') is a pretty good way to go... I used it for the nasnite thing and it took maybe 15 seconds - it's pretty intuitive to use. -Brad

Forgot to mention, that yes, DiskEdit will handle files up to the size of your hard drive.... -Brad

The Nasnite.exe utility to race at night is on the IGN homepage in the utility section for downloading. No hex editor required. The address is listed below my sig.

Can someone tell me where to get the nasnite.zip file for night racing in NASCAR. I looked at the IWCC site and at that didnt.doit place and couldn't find it. Also, does it include instructions(like what to hex edit etc)?? thanks Craig

Also, does it include instructions(like what to hex edit >etc)?? Boy, you didn't spend much time looking, did you??? It's at didnt.doit.wisc.edu, in the directory NASCAR/updates/nasnite.zip - kinda hard to miss actually since there's only one or two other files in that directory! :-) Instructions included, installation is trivial. Make sure you type "binary" before transferring the files. -Brad Team Wallkiss
