GPL Slotcar track question..

by Pete Panai » Thu, 25 Dec 2003 14:54:54

I can't wait to give it a try but, when I try to install this track...

"Version One Long View Distance - High Res Horizon"

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

It makes the directory...\GPL\tracks\slotcar
But it's empty.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

From the readme.txt:
"If the install totally fails, add the following way.

create folder in c:\sierra\gpl\tracks called 'slotcar'
unzip all files in the archive to c:\sierra\gpl\tracks\slotcar folder
edit c:\sierra\seasons\67season.ini and (optional) c:\sierra\seasons\gp.ini by
adding the following:

[EventXX]
name=Slot Car Super Track
shortname=Slot Car
trackDirectory=slotcar
month=6
day=10
numberOfLaps=54
startingGrid=4

Dont forget to increment the numEvents=XX line at the top of the file... and
make sure the XX's agree."

Hope this helps.

There were no files with the 2nd download after installing for me as well.

 I copied all the files manually from the slotcar track INSTALL folder to
the slotcar folder in gpl tracks folder that the installer originally
created. I then renamed the dat file to slotcar.dat.

Pretty hilarious. Glad this version isnt in his bedroom. lol.
