GTR2002 - which file?

by Thor » Fri, 06 Dec 2002 07:51:01

Hi...i got the mod yesterday...it's OK...:)

I have several files in the folder, I can run..?

GT Racing 2002.lnk
GTRacing2002.exe
GTRun.exe

It seems that if I once have chosen the Championship, I can't get back
to choose a single race...(need some parctice, u know..:) )

Which of the files to choose?

The first file you mention is a shortcut to the second.  Running the
shortcut is the "correct" way, not sure what will happen if you try to
run the other two.

Running either of the first two takes you to the pre-game menu where you can
choose which cars you want to run - GT/NGT/24hr, control & player profile.
I'm not exactly sure if this menu is 100% necessary.

Running GTRun.exe bypasses this and takes you straight into the game.  I
suspect running GTRun.exe is the same as running...

"F1_2002.exe config=GTR2002config.ini"

GT Racing 2002.lnk is just a link to GTRacing2002.exe.
GTRacing2002.exe is the pre-game menu allowing you select the
difference classes, and championship mode.  

GTRun.exe actually fires up the game.  It basically syncs up the
VIDEOMODE and VIDEOGUID values from the original F1 config.ini to the
GTR2002config.ini.  It plays then a video clip, then it launches
"f1_2002.exe config=GTR2002config.ini"

I don't really run GTRacing2002.exe since I don't do Championship
mode.  What I do is run GTRacing2002.exe once and select the "NGT/GT
class" and then just run GTRun.exe from then on.  Since all cars will
be available in the game now, I don't have to run GTRacing2002.exe in
the future.  Think of GTRacing2002.exe as just a setup tool to change
class, change control sets or run championship mode.
