I've tried everything to install this C2 map - help!

[Gareth]

It's the schwarzwald2 map.

I've even done a fresh install of C2 (a 2nd C2 folder(, done everything step-by-step as it says in the instructions (plus using Mapstockalypse - after clicking on carstockalypse first of course!). When I go on C2, I go on any level and it turns off after the loading screen! So, I have to delete that, and install it again!

what am I doing wrong!?

[Powdered Toast MAAAN!!]

OK dude. You need to make sure all the correct files are in place. And don't bother with mapstock, hardly any customs endorse it anyway!

You should have a dir named after the track under your data/races dir.

Like this. C:/C2 dir/data/races/Track

Then you need to edit the races.txt found in data dir.

Simle just add the name of the track over an existing one. And don't replace any missions! Only regular races can be replaced.

Any more info just hit me a mail, or PM.

[C2 Scientist]

And don't replace any missions! Only regular races can be replaced.

I can replace missions. Overwrite the mission lines with the lines of any regular race, then change the title of the race, the textfile reference, and change "Boundary race" into "1", so that the game knows where that particular race group ends. (Maybe this has been the problem with previous tries?)

[Kruszchev]

i got around it somehow... but that was a realy long time ago... dunno know now... but its possible tho

but i think it changed the race type to opponent... its still a mission BUT the only thing you need to do is to whack the opponents...

[Haze]

kruszchev -> 'dunno' means 'i do not know'. there's no need to write 'dunno know'.

[Kruszchev]

details!

dunno care... Happy now?

[Haze]

YOU should be happy there's someone to correct you.

[Kruszchev]

nope... you should be unhappy that someone does correct me

Note the on the post above form me... I know the sentence is totaly wrong... i did it on purpuse

[Haze]

of course i got it.

[Haze]

oh yeah and it seems i've just become a mechanic. cool heh?

[Powdered Toast MAAAN!!]

Bow Down to my 12 Cyl Symphony!

HAze, you should try and run some of the cars on your site into C2, that is if you're not already!

[Haze]

nope they're too high poly. i'll be making a simple golf for carma to get familiar with all those editing techniques.

[DEMENTOR]

Cool Haze. It's not hard to get to grips with CarED. Even i'm making a car (FordGT40)

[Haze]

no cared just sucks in terms of modeling. i will only use it to texture the car (eeh... that won't be a golf. it's going to be a fiat uno ).

[DEMENTOR]

What modeller are you going to use?

[Haze]

zmodeler.

[Gareth]

When I extract the map as it is, onto the main C2 folder and go on any map (without using mapstock) (on a fresh install), it still crashes!

could there be something wrong with the map itself maybe?

This is the bit I don't understand what it means by in the readme:



"Find the code like you see below in SETTINGS.TXT and change add two (=2) to the number you see there."



--------------------START OF CODE ---------------------------------------

//***************************

// PED GROUPS

//***************************

72 // Number of groups

//(Remember that it starts at 0, so this no. is one more than last group no.)(honest this time ;o)

---------------------- END OF CODE ------------------------------------



I added 2 on to 72 (to 74), but that can't be what it means (and I don't get what it means - or does either)

[Kruszchev]

GT40.. a Pick!!!

[Toshiba-3]

[Gareth]

it doesn't matter now, I've got it sorted.

thanks for ALL your help! It worked what Toshiba-3 said (and everyone else helped too). Thanks all!

[Deep_Blue]

@ Kruszchev. Heh, You tell 'em

[DEMENTOR]

Heres a pick of the GT40. It'll probably end up being left, it's the first car I've ever made!

[Kruszchev]

i defenetivle know what a GT40 is... a MODEL pick... thats what im looking for

[DEMENTOR]

Oh sorry im stupid. Pic in attatchment.

As you can see it needs a shit load of work.

Can you duplicate the wheels so the polygons are already placed to make the wheel. Coz I iterate -1 on the X scale but it just does the points, and doesn't make the polys.

Also is there a tutorial that is better than Ben Beards one with the release?

[Kruszchev]

needs a shitload of work... nah its almost complete

you can do this to duplicate the wheels...

position one wheel in the correct place...

export it it...

then choose all the points on the wheel and go to transform, dont change any valuse exept the one named "Yaw (Y)" there it should say 180 instead of 0...

then OK...

and voila its on the other side BUT on the back...

now import the wheel you exported earlier and sience it was positioned the unimported wheel does only need to be matched in Z axis whit the recently imported wheel...

NOW select the newly imported wheel and use the "Yaw (Y)" thing... whit the same value...

and possition it on the back of the car... then import the exported wheel again... and that one should just bee moved backward to the possition where the rear wheel should be... when thats done import the wheel again

hopes that makes help... its hard to explain but its so simple when you done it once

[random_monkey]

Dementor: You are able to iterate to scale -1 and keep the poly's - exactly the way you suggested...

there are 2 iterate buttons though, one is for points and one is for objects. The bottom one is for points and the top one is for objects (Use the objects one)

and kruszchev - that's a retarded way of doing it

[Deep_Blue]

Yeh, what da monkey sed.

I was gonna say dat first, but da monk beat me to it

[DEMENTOR]

OK thanks guys. And that iterate button does work, thanks.

[Toshiba-3]

[Kruszchev]

ust an idea for kruszchev : why dont you apply a transparency attribute on the white color of your sig?

ummm... there is ONE problem... i dont have one... atlest i dont see it... and i dont know how... and i took a look at the "my home" settings for that pick... there arent a url to it?... damn im comfused at the moment

[Kruszchev]

ahem... i got the problem fixed... dunno know why you saw the pick... as the URL was gone... but i had "show other peoples sig" choosen to off... got it all fixed again... so, well, its fixed
