This might not be the best topic but I don't feel like opening another one so I'll ask it here. :D

I've been playing the demo since a few days, I'm getting nearer to my PS1 times but the car sometimes swerves all over the road. If I'm touching the left/right button two times the car just goes sideways and out of control. I've tried changing the steering sensibility, that didn't help. Could it have something to do with the settings of my gamepad? :confused:

This thread could just as well be about tweaking the game!

try changing the sensitivity of the gamepad or your steering, try to set 'em all to the highest or the lowest, that will give a clear indication if thats where the culprit of the problem is to be found.

I use the keyboard so is there any Pc/gamepad gamers who can help?

Juha
19th October 2007, 17:58
I think I've found a good sensitivity setting. My time on SS5 in Australia is now 2.42 and it's possible to get under 2.40. My record on PS1 is 2.35, in a 205, so it's acceptable. :D

Car names or driver names?

The packing part has been described in one of the other CMR2 topics (click my username and select "Find more posts by Exhausted").

There is a full list of updated drivernames (Solberg, Loeb, Grönholm...) in the 1.9 patch available for the full game.

I've come across another problem: I start a stage and after a few corners the car automatically keeps accelerating and steering. I can't do anything except quit. And when I'm in the main menu the options scroll by and I can't stop it. Could this be due to my gamepad? :confused:

Select hi-res texture file (f.ex. f99a1.bfl), make copy of it, paste to same folder, rename the copy to f99c1.bfl So, from *a1* should be *c1*.
Similar with 3D file - select f99a1N.c3d, make a copy, paste, rename the copy to f99c1.c3d Here, from *a1N* should be *c1*.

I've done that, but it was in Arcade mode really, they are shown driving C4's etc but are really driving Corolla's :(

Juha
16th December 2007, 11:57
Arcade mode & super stages = low res skins

Replace the low res skins with some high-res ones (if it's possible) and it should be fine (or stay away from arcade mode, it's not real rallying :D ).

Select hi-res texture file (f.ex. f99a1.bfl), make copy of it, paste to same folder, rename the copy to f99c1.bfl So, from *a1* should be *c1*.
Similar with 3D file - select f99a1N.c3d, make a copy, paste, rename the copy to f99c1.c3d Here, from *a1N* should be *c1*.

Or was that no use?

how do i change the drivers names on the windows? do i have to change the file or something like that?

UKOG~Will
18th December 2007, 20:58
Yeah, but it's a long winded process, you need to unpack the *bfl file, and then find the file with the window and repaint it. To unpack it you will need a tool called "cmr2edit" which you can find here:

http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/cmr2_tools.htm

I've never modded the windows so you may have to find someone else to help you with that I'm afraid :D ;)

I've just tried my new steering wheel. My joypad problem just reoccured: nothing happens after two or three stages or the car gets a mind of its own. I've tried Grand Prix Legends and it happened in that game too so the problem must be my PC. But what could the problem be? :confused:

You will need to edit the 3 files ending on:

..glod3.dds

I have downloaded a skin ,
http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/Citroen%20Xsara%20WRC%202003%20Colin%20McRae.jpg

,i like that type of xsara skin, not the blue kronos skin, but he problem is, this skin is for mitshubishi, but i need that skin to seat cordoba.
Can i put this skin to the seat?

UKOG~Will
17th February 2008, 20:43
Yes, you just rename the first 3 characters of the file name.

Eg - Replacing Mitsubishi Lancer ((mit) - (Lancer Alt.1 = ma1, Lancer Alt.2 = ma2, Road Car = ma3))

mita1.bfl -> seaa1.bfl
mita1N.bfl -> seaa1N.bfl

And any other files beginning with "mit" (or "ma1, ma2, ma3") change to "sea"

I never modify the alpha channel, just edit the skin in Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, save it in .PNG format (this preserves the tranparency of windows), and then re-pack into .BFL again..

I had started without modifying the alpha channel as well, but there was still visible the shadow of previous name on the window. If you modify the clear window, there is no problem at all.

I never saw those shadow, but there is some low-rez, small sized files in the .fbl file that contain images of the windows, with the original graphics (flags, drivers names). They have given me a hard time now and then! :evil:

NOR
18th February 2008, 12:23
You can see the shadow for ex. on originally Focus99. The names on left window are listed McRae Grist, but alpha channel is Grist McRae. Put the afglodf file to Photoshop and can see in channels level what's wrong.

I rename the mcrae skin(mitsu) to seat, and it worked.I was happy :)

Yesterday i wanted to play i bit with my "new" xsara, and the game wrote me a message: "Please make sure if the CMR2 cd is in the CD-rom" , or sg like that. This was only with Seat. I put an another xsara skin to the game(Loeb kronos skin), but the answer was the same.

Finally i had to copy back the original cordoba skin to the game.

Do you have an idea what could happened?

Take you new files, copy the *a1N.c3d , paste and rename to *c1.c3d
the same thing with copy the *a1.bfl, paste and rename to *c1.bfl, then you will use same files for normal stages as well as for ss11.

I know this is a very amateur question, but I'm rubbish with computers! I've never owned CMR2 but I'm thinking about ordering, but before i choose to get it, can anybody anwer these questions:

1) Is it easy/possible to add new cars to the game or replace cars, or is it just skins added to existing similar cars? Could I have Petter's 07 Impreza, Loeb's 07 C4, Hirvonen's 07 Focus, Suzuki SX4 08and Galli's Pug 307 etc. on the game - and is it easy for someone who is a bit dumb?!
2) Is the game actually very good? It seems good, but is really old so do the possible edits make it better? And are the stages like RBR i.e. lots of them and they're quite long.
3) The main question is can the game be made semi-official - that is to say can there be real names and real car names for the added cars - and is this easy to do?

Answers within the day appreciated greatly!!

pettersolberg29
27th February 2008, 22:26
Sorry, one more question is that if the demo works, then will the real game definately work as well?

Anybody??

UKOG~Will

If the demo works then the game will work. :)

It's not that easy re-skinning cars as you need to be able to work with Photoshop and other tools which can be difficult...but installing new cars is easy.

You can change the name of the cars and drivers in the game but this does require a tool that can be downloaded....http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/cmr2.htm

Stages length varies...usually takes at most 4 or 5 minutes to complete a stage if your quick...some stages don't take a minute! :D

28th February 2008, 21:22
4 of 5 minutes? Maybe that's the case if you stop on stage when nature calls, but the longest is around 3.30. :D

Petter's 07 Impreza: Killer 06 version available
Loeb's 07 C4: Fairly good C4 available
Hirvonen's 07 Focus: Killer 07 Focus available soon (no Hirvonen livery yet)
Suzuki SX4 08: No
Galli's Pug 307: Yes

Thanks for the info.
I've been told that downloading the 2005-2007 patch from http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/cmr2.htm is the best place to start when I get the game next Monday - is that true and like you have said before, is it easy? And is this the best way to update the game quickly?

Sorry, one more question! When/If you update the game with the mod I mentioned above, can you then change other things outside the mod i.e. the Impreza 05 you get, can you then 're-replace' it with the 06 version?

Hopefully with a few tips and Petter's new Impreza to come, I'll be in the CMR2 championship next year! Or if I'm allowed, enter a few events as a privateer in a few races in the second half of the season to get ready.

NOR
29th February 2008, 08:27
I have no experience with this pack as whole unit, but most of cars presented there looks and runs well. A few of them are poor, but you can change any car what you want later on. The mod pack shouldn't block other add on, so don't worry about the 06Impreza.
You can join the championship anytime, don't wait for next season.

Probably, just edit the files like you would in the real game, but you're limited to the Focus aren't you (in the demo) so you'd only see results with editing the Focus

Not sure if it would work tho

If anyone could make a 2007 Petter Solberg skin for the 07 Impreza that would be appreciated. And if anyone could be bothered to make an 08 Impreza N14, with or without any livery, then a reward of some nature would be needed!

Both skins and a guide on how to install is found here:
http://www.haansalo.com/

This page mentions using winzip to unpack.

Have a look at this:

http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh15/tannatmadiran/files.jpg

This is the downloaded, unzipped skin file on which I renamed the files to convert the Mitsubishi Alternate one to the desired car ( a Lancer WRC 05).

Can you see any errors here?

I transferred the middle 6 files into the cars directory of my CMR2 game file. The mitsubishi alternate files can be seen close to the top

(see below)

OK I see what's the problem.
You have to fix it this way:
1. go to unpacked folder, rename the ma1a5.bfl to ma1c1.bfl
2. copy to clipboard file ma1a1N.c3d and paste it as copy into same folder
3. rename this copy to ma1c1.c3d
4. put all (now 7) files into Game/Cars folder (rewrite the originals)
5 .start the game, and set in Graphics advanced option the Car details high
Then you should find the new car under Mitsu alt1 and game should run properly.

Thanks for link. I have downloaded it and these two cars looks really nice. Will see what's possible, there are different hierarchy, scale and details level. But maybe could be transferred for CMR2 after some hours of work..... I can't promise, there is another new car on my workbench now.

All right, should works fine. Just keep the Game/Cars folder in originally conditions, until you start replacing.

It would be fantastic if we had those new cars, CMR2 would be the new WRC game :P

pettersolberg29

As I'm a bit slow (!) - are you saying that we might have those two beautiful cars above in the game soon!

Or did I get all excited for nothing...

NOR
17th March 2008, 22:02
Guys, if was saying some hours of work, I ment a lot of hours without warranted success. The original models are so detailed and CMR2 needs less polygons models to reliably run. And I have a full hands with developing brand new car (not released yet) now. So it really will not be soon, sorry....

pettersolberg29
17th March 2008, 22:07
But it could happen at some point?


And what is this 'new car' you are working on, or is it kept under wraps until finished?!

NOR
17th March 2008, 22:16
Could be, I prefer the EvoX little bit, but will see....
Yes the new car is kept under wraps, you can expect some hints later on :)

Your solution worked-big thanks to you :up:

That's good to hear. Please try it on any SS11 as well, this is used to be a problem sometimes....
Wrong was the naming of files in the zipfile, that's not your false.

18th March 2008, 15:56
Hi NOR,

Could you look at these unziped file names to see if they look okay? I can provide sizes if necessary. They are for an 07 focus:


206.cin
206a1.bfl
206a1l.c3d
206a1n.c3d
206als.c3d

I have 2 other sets of files I may have you check if you don't mind.

Thanks!

James

Could anyone supply the correct file stems for the:

Toyota Corolla?
Ford Focus? (Not the alternate 1999)

The names seem to all run together when I llok at the file names.

Looking to drop in a Red Bull Fabia, and an 08 Focus!

If this version of Focus is from colin sites 110mb.com, I can't recommend as good version. Very poor model and skin as well. Wait for my version, Two Basses Focus will be released in two weeks.

I have just tried to paint on it. The same thing is doing with this Evo IX on my computer as well. I have no idea what's exactly wrong, but there are lot of strange files in the textures pack. Few has different name, few are from other versions, it's not all right. Maybe you should search for another base EvoIX for your modification.

QUESTION_ does it suffer in terms of performance compared to the other lancers? The bar graphs for weight and horsepower are equivalent amongst all of them....


Thanks

Some downloaded cars hasn't all files. If there are missing *c1.bfl or *c1.c3d - you have to add them this way : See posts No. 52 and 54 this thread.

Get the tool called cmr2edit from the colinmcrae.110mb.com site

DO NOT CHANGE GRIP SETTINGS...just go to the BFL unpacker

unpack the CMR2-> CountrySpecific->Europe->englishtext.bfl file

You'll get three text files, genglish, fenglish and senglish (XD)

Go through those files and change the text

Re-pack the englishtext folder

Done

:D

You'll need to specify an unpack destination, I suggest the desktop for easy access.

Then unpack it again, and you'll have a folder called englishtext on the desktop and the three files, "genglish", "fenglish" and "senglish" will be in there

Two questions:

2) Is that car the new Subaru 2007/08? It looks like it with a front grill and weird thing on back window? If it is, where did you get it, or did you say you made it?

pettersolberg29
