Season Calender Bug?

by Berry Kaise » Sun, 09 Nov 1997 04:00:00

Hi all,

Well, the only thing that I did have "added on" was the AI updates for the
tracks that really need it, Dega, Dover, etc, etc, and the carsets from
IWCCCARS. What I finally did was to uninstall everything and then reinstall.
I put the carsets back but that is all I have done. Everything works fine.
Go figure. I'm going to update the AI again, and I don't really think that
this is causing the problem. I have no proof, but hey it's just a hunch:)
Hoping it was just a glitch and not a recurrent problem. Thanks for the
comments.

I have heard that the season calendar changing the first race around can
be fixed by making sure all tracks have 39 or fewer cars running, if any
tracks have 40 cars available then it screws up. I reinstalled my N2/BGN
when this happened to me so I do not know if this is really the problem.
And I am not gonna test this theory right now, gotta good season goin
and don't want to***it up!

I too have had the same problem.   There is a fix however.

Using a hex editor open your .se2 file in the seasons directory.
There should be a close bracket ) visible near the beginning of the file.
Change this to read (
Save and your file should be fixed.

Hope this helps.

Noooow you tell me! I just got through reinstalling and restoring all the
 backuped add-ons I had in the game. 290MB worth of N2 files. It worked though.
 Now I can race for the Season Champagne!

My .se2 file had an ( at the beginning and I'm still having the problem too.
Maybe I'll do the re-install and see if that takes care of it.

I don't think this is true. I have all my tracks set to 40 cars, and
using the latest post-BGN version of N2HQ created a season calendar and
it is working fine.

This is what I found out. I had a problem with the first race showing up as a
 cross between Daytona and Atlanta. So I reinstalled, restored all the add-ons
 and  stuff and it cleared it up fine. Next I went and editted all the track
 .txt for 40 car fields. checked back on the season and it was screwed again.
 So I then editted them for 39 car fields. Now it works fine again. So that
 must have something to do with it. Just a note though. On any of the Track
 Pack tracks if if you want 39 cars,  you must put 40 in the track.txt because
 it counts the pace car as one also. Hope this helps someone out and saves them
 from the dreaded reinstall.
