Will put more up tomoz 3316[/snapback] ok if you've installed the 'old' LCH mod file you should have a folder inside the nascar heat folder called LCH. Inside here you'll find the car files (legends.car and legendsc.car) and the various car skins (car1.tex, car2.tex etc) - hopefully you have a drivers text in there (notepad document with a series of entries in showing car number, driver name, chassis type etc). This is the list that is reproduced as the choice of cars in game. doh theres me break finished ........... cya soon lol ..........

At least the problems been found 3349[/snapback] lol good to hear we're making some progress m8......when you say 'default' schemes what do u mean plz? as i recall the UKDirt LCH mod only had novice cars in (which means the drivers text only has 4 cars in to choose from) - the LCH mod (the original mod) had about 24 i think? you'll see some famous names in there (Dale Earnhardt Jr. etc) does the game work? can you start it up and race in 'single race' mode? as you'll probably have gathered now, installing patches and mods can be intimidating at first but fret not, the racings worth the hassle let us know where you are with this - remember, no question is too stupid all the best ..........

Its just a question of how do u get the new cars and drivers on the list???? I'm puzzeled 3393[/snapback] don't be m8, at least your games running now . In terms of extra cars to be added .......I can prepare a drivers text with a skinpack to add more cars in for offline use (i'll include our UK Dirt regulars so if you race online you'll see the cars ok) - all this entails is a zipfile containing the extra .tex files and a drivers list that replaces the one you already have. We had discussed doing a UK legends offline pack using skins (cars) that our members had painted but thats to revive (lost it from the old RSC forum unfortunately). The main thing for racing online with our lot is ensuring you have their skins in so i'll prepare that pack. Finally, there is a pack of setups available for the original LCH mod (which is the one i think you have) - i'll post that on here this afternoon for u to download and install cheers and best wishes ..........

Kev152 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 did you say the ukdirt LCH download wasn't working? if you want to download it, i have uploaded the ukdirt lch one to my web space... It can be downloaded Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legendracer27 Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) did you say the ukdirt LCH download wasn't working? if you want to download it, i have uploaded the ukdirt lch one to my web space... It can be downloaded Here 3431[/snapback] Excellent so i've now got the uk dirt legends which works fine with the four default skins. However again when installing the skins the drivers.txt file is not updated and therefore dont load the skins. Would be great if you can do the updated txt file, but how do i update all the other mods???? Have i missed downloading the updated driver txt files???

Grasser233 Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 (edited) Apart from the Ukdirt hotrod mod and some banger skinpacks (ie. Teams, civil war) the packs dont install a drivers txt apart from the novice cars. If you do your own skin you have to edit the txt with your own entry in order to pick it. Wrighty hinted further up that he might sort out a Drivers txt for lch if he gets the time, I suggest waiting for a reply from him, like he says, the main thing is that you have the skins in there for when you race online Hope this helps Grasser#233 Edited January 14, 2005 by Grasser233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes sense now. If wrighty can sort me out the drivers.txt that would be ace and if anyone else has a modified drivers.txt file for any of the mods if they could send it to me by e-mail i would be a very very very happy man Thanks for all the help, boy i hate learning the ins and outs of a new game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty496 Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 Am understanding now:) So most of you when on single player cant race with these schemes. That makes sense now. Yeah, what happens is, we produce skinpacks for people to install to see the other cars online. When you play the game offline you can only pick from the cars that are in the drivers list, but you have the other skins in the folder for online use only yeah? If wrighty can sort me out the drivers.txt that would be ace and if anyone else has a modified drivers.txt file for any of the mods if they could send it to me by e-mail i would be a very very very happy man no need m8 please find attached LCHskinpack. Click on it to download and then unzip it. Open the new folder it creates and select all files contained there, copy and then paste into your UK Dirt LCH folder in Nascar Heat. This will add 12 cars in (you already have 4 novice cars) and a drivers list with 16 entries on it (the 12 in the zip pack plus the 4 novice car entries you already have). Let the new drivers text overwrite the existing one and there u go - 16 cars to race with offline and some of the 'more likely' online racers fr your future racing online I've also attached a zip file containing setups for use with the mod. To run this, unzip again and run the installer thats inside it BUT when it gets to the line showing the destination folder for the installer paste in the line below C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\NASCAR Heat\ukdirtlch (the installer was created for the old LCH mod). This contains setups for most of our tracks and most of the US tracks too. Please note, when you're in-game go into your garage (if you're in single player go into race setup and check its on expert, then go back and into the garage below the practice/qualify/race buttons) and load the setup again. It shows the name when the setup isnt loaded so u need to re-load the setup. then test or go race - theyre a bit loose but worth the practice - very fast lol (credit goes to a guy called Rusty T Bass for these - his setups ) anyway i'll stop rambling.....have fun and happy lapping ...... cya soon online hopefully all the best .............

Wrighty 3534[/snapback] It all looked so good There seems to be a problem with the files, the computer comes up with an error message and wont open the zip file. I have already got the setups just couldn't load them up lol!! If u send me the drivers.txt file by e-mail hopefully it should work. There'll be more questions to come I'm sure but I lookforward to having the odd race with you guys in the legends and maybe other series.
