Player's Car in Nascar 2?

by evi » Sat, 11 Jan 1997 04:00:00

I was playing around, re-made my Nascar 1 car into Nascar 2 and found a
typo in the manual concerning the player's car?  The manual said
something about the player's car having an asterisk in the list, however
my short experience showed you drive the car that happens to be at the
top of the list.  Short of making sure how I line up a list, is there an
easy way to reorder the list so I can drive the car I feel like at the
time?

No. It's the long create a new list method. Be happy your only playing single
player. :)

Well if one is careful, one should be able to rearrange the list using
Windows 3.x's version of Write.  Just be careful to not "covert" the
*.lst file when you load it into Write.  Just cut and past lines.  I
haven't tried it, but have used Write for similar "hacks" in the past.

Of course this will only work if you still kept Write when you upgraded
to Win95 or still have a copy of your Win3.x distribution disks floating
about.  If the latter just "unexpand" the Write.ex_ and Write.hl_ files.
I renamed them to W31write.* and created a shortcut to it.

You can open the .lst files with UltraEdit-32 and rearrange the order
of drivers by cutting and pasting them.  You need a similar type hex
editor (I haven't tried it with Write), but a plain vanilla text editor
like Windows' notepad will not be sufficient.
