Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Okay, I have the UK version with the blood patch so it has humans instead of zombies. I couldn't get any addon cars to work so I installed the Noosebleed patch. Since the .exe file is the same as the game, I copied all the files to a new game folder, because once before I tried replacing the .exe file and it totally messed my game up and I had to reinstall it.
Now a while ago I installed that Super Speedway track and to my surprise it showed up with these Nosebleed version. But everytime I tried to start a race I got that Powerup Strings error. I've read up on it here, but the posts are older and I don't see any of the attachments that people did to replace the file. Can anyone give me a hand with this?

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Okay, so update: my original version I tried doing the text file updates and when I go to setCar Batmobile97 the game brings up a big game error about one of the files for the car.
The other version I copied elsewhere on my computer with the Nosebleed...the PowerUp Strings file isn't updated so it can't accomodate the new powerups I'm assuming. Help?

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
batmobile97 needs the upgrade patch to work as it uses features from the patch(flames).
all i can say about getting tdr to work is to do it this way:
uninstall everything properly. patch then tdr then delete sci's dir, and if you know how delete tdr's registry entries.
Install tdr, reboot, install the nb patch then the blood patch.
TDR's patch has a habbit of screwing up half the time, usualy when it cant open a file to replace it and it just skips past it.
other than that it should work fine, tho check your display and sound settings in tdr's setup as they can also mess up the game quite well.

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Okay well I still have the problem with the Powerup strings thing. Can someone put up the updated file with the new powerups up or just tell me what to type in the file to get the game to let it work? thanks.

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
What seems to happen quite often is the patch not updating the .exe file, try this .exe (http://pm.polygonized.com/file_details.php?id=146 )its the nb crack.
If that doesnt work ill upload the strings files for you.

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Thanks, but it's still not working because of that String file.
Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Hey..
I tried replacing the nb strings with the originals and it still doesnt seem to work.. You can go ahead and upload if you want, Dark Angel. Just thought i'd post to let you know..
My best guess is the NoseBleed cd crack being a problem. I'll find out soon. I orderd a copy of TDR for £5 ($6-8) and it'll try it and see if it still gives me that error.
Hmm, come to think of it. I've never replaced the whole Strings folder yet. Maybe i'll try that some time.
I still dont see that the major error TDR has with the PowerUp string.. But, whatever..
Just one of the many problems with warez.

Re: Nosebleed problems & addon cars
Thank you so much! You rock! At first it didn't work, but then I realized there was another file "PowerUp Internal" or whatever, so I switched that too with your file. But then I kept getting this "missing powerups1.tx" error, so I made a fake file but then it kept going up in numbers so I made a bunch and it ended up working. And I got Super Speedway to work as well.
I ALSO got the Batmobile to work...so insane...I even burned peds with the flame at the back. All in all, everything seems to bust apart easier, I think this is because of the Nosebleed patch? Pretty sure I've heard someone say that. Thanks again.
