Yeah, I've seen that error before, but I forget was causes it.

Just to be sure, your new 'bleakcity.txt' in the RACES.TXT replaces an existing level, not a mission.

Maybe move to a different group, like group 1 (replace either Nice Beaver, Rocky Too or City Slicker) ??

I got that pixelmap thing too... when I had my 128mb card, but still got it with a 256mb card. Funny as I dont think 256mb ones exsisted when the map was made.

I got this error when using the high res textures that came with it, try to use the low ones

What also seem to fixed for me was the patch v2 from C2Scientist's site :smile: http://koti.mbnet.fi/jariky/Index.html and go to "Other Stuff" then the download is almost the last on the list there :thumbsup:

Instead of creating a new topic I decided to carry-on and use this one.I have tried to get Bleakcity to work but it keeps crashing?????Even Offquay??I have the following C2 custom maps:

OffQuay(crashes but I can access map in Plaything 2?)

Deathstreet(works)

Bleakcity(crashes but I can access map in Plaything 2?)

Nukleen(works)

Carhold(works)

PhillipIsland(works but a graphical glitche that some texs go whitelike with the Holden?)

Christmasmassacre(works)

Do I have the right version of Bleakcity and Offquay as the archived version of PlanetMaim has Bleakcity but the file size is not the same as the one I downloaded?I'm using DG_Voodoo to get C2 to work as I could get C2 to work in xp when I still was using my agp graphics card but when I upgraded to pci-express I could not run C2 without a glidewrapper. :sad: My graphics card is a 512MB Gigabyte Geforce 7600 PCI-Express.

Haven't installed the v2 patch from sci as I found it to cause my copy of C2 not to work and I then had to re-instll everything.:(

Do you get any sort of an error?

I just put Off Quay onto a clean install of C2 and it worked fine but I'm using Glidewrapper. You sure you have all the files? The one from Toxic Ragers needs the noncars.zip - note: noncar.zip doesn't have any hierachy so make sure it gets unzipped into DATA/NONCARS/

I don't know which version of Bleak City you have. But it's a huge map and takes a long time to load, to the point where you think your game has frozen. :wink:

Also, did you add

ACCLAIM01

BEETLE01

EAGLE01

to the DRONE.TXT? I'm going to guess, 'no' :oops:

Well I get no error message except sometimes the carma_hw.exe file crashes.....Found the log file for the download for BleakCity.I downloaded it from BleakCity on the 2004/12/16. The game looks like it is loading the map but then after a while it crashes....

The other tracks don't use any custom drones, that's why it doesn't crash.

Bleak City needs the additional entries. Drone.txt should look like this:

VERSION 1

EST02YEL

EST02BLU

EST02RED

CABLECAR

ROLLERCAR

747

HATCH01

ESTATE01

MOVER01

SEDAN01

F14

SPAMTRAK

LOGFLUME

ACCLAIM01

BEETLE01

EAGLE01

Your drones.txt is different, did you save it when you added the drones?? It really should work. Did you put the high res textures in place? Cause if so, some people got an error from that.

And what sort of crash error do you see? This track can load up to 15 minutes with the c2 loading screen BEFORE you can race.

When you unzipped the bleakcity files did everything get put in the correct places?

Are there ACCLAIM01, BEETLE01, EAGLE01 folders inside your DRONES folder?

I just installed version v1.0 by Chevy II that you are using and saw it uses only stock C2 drones.

Your drone.txt is fine. This version is an older one it doesn't use the custom drones.

My install worked right away without a problem. I don't know what you're doing, but it sounds like user error on your part.

edit: that zip doesn't have a path heirachy, so you need to unzip it into the DATA/RACES folder

I think the problem is, when you make a new post you can select using UBBCode/using HTMLCode/use both or use none. Then if you edit your post and post the right code it wont work cause you can't change that anymore.

The default is using UBBCode, always thought it was strange..better could've been default to use both.
