hi, thats a common problem with the essential files kit, you need to copy the ui.res from the run folder and paste it into your f1, f2, or banger etc folder.

the ui.res in the mods folder is 0 bytes so delete that then add the ui.res from the run folder.

 

[venom]

the ui file is already in my ukdirtbangers file

[F2-Fan]

If you read the post above again you will see that what mickymoo is saying is that the file is there but because you have downloaded the essentials the ui.res file is not correct and that you need to copy anyother version of it, one that is bigger than 0 bytes.

[venom]

hi, ive looked through all folders and cant find ui.res anywhere is there a reason for this? all i can find is 1 program ui and a folder of the same name any help would be welcome

thanks

Have u got any other game like F2s or F1s etc??

 

If you do just copy the UI file out of there and paste it into whatever game your tryin to get to work.

i hope i'm not teaching you to suck eggs venom but you must type the i.p address in exactly ie 121.49.66.233 including the dots... use jolt 1 or jolt 2 to try it as these are nearly always "up"...they conect almost straight away on my pc...if still no joy check your firewall...don't forget if your using xp it has a built in firewall,if you use a router it will also have a firewall,and sometimes ports you have to open?? i'm not an expert but i think wrighty has done some firewall stuff....hope to see you on-line soon....

[venom]

thanks mad mick and wrighty i am typing in ip addresses right (no offense taken) but i dont have the heat.bin file any ideas???

[martwisely]

Thatsthe actual game is it not heat.bin???

 

Your firewall maybe blocking access to it.

[venom]

god i feel stupid, i enter the ip address perfectly go through all the motions that the guide tells me, right connection but it still wont connect to a server itll say waiting for reply for about a minute then it cancel itself and come up with nothing plz can anyone help

[venom]

i enter the ip address perfectly go through all the motions that the guide tells me, right connection but it still wont connect to a server itll say waiting for reply for about a minute then it cancel itself and come up with nothing, my firewall is allowing the game to operate and ive downloaded and installed all the files needed and it still wont connect anyone able to help????

Turn the firewall off m8..................also the one that comes with XP itself, providing ur running XP off course........LOL

 

And dont forget this: There is occasionally a bug where you may need to press Cancel whilst it is searching, for it to find the server.

This is all very well, but all the UI files in all of the mods i have downloaded, are all 0KB

[Dino]

Download the hot rods that has a working ui.res

[wrighty496]

thanks mad mick and wrighty i am typing in ip addresses right (no offense taken) but i dont have the heat.bin file any ideas???

 

Heat.bin isn't installed into the normal nascar heat folder m8, mine's in C:\Documents and Settings\(username if you use one)\Local Settings\Temp. If you are using a 3rd party (i.e. Norton (i'm not a Norton fan lol), or ZoneAlarm or whatever) add heat.bin into the programs list by browsing for it then ensure it has 2-way access (access the internet AND 'act as server).....this ensures that the ping command is allowed to reach the server you're trying to connect with AND receives the reply.

 

Apologies for the delay in replying, only just seen the thread again.

[The London Allstar]

I have everything to do with nascar heat on full accses and still have to turn of my firewalls, theres something stopping it, but it certainly isnt an obvious thing
