Daytona, Daytona-night & Talladega as extra tracks.
First you need Nigel Pattinson's DatX, from www.theuspits.com &
Klaus H?rbrand's Winmip 2 from http://www.racesimcentral.net/
Now go to the NASCAR4\tracks folder & make a copy of the "daytona" folder,
paste it in the tracks folder so you end up with a "copy of daytona" folder,
rename this to "daytonaNP". In your new "daytonaNP" folder rename
"daytona.cam"
to "daytonaNP.cam" & "daytona.dat" to "daytonaNP.dat".
Next you need to unpack the "daytonaNP.dat" with DatX, but if you use DatX
on its own it unpacks all the files into the "daytonaNP" folder & you only
need one file out of it, so unpack it through Winmip 2 & it will unpack it
into a folder called "unpack" in
the "daytonaNP" folder.
Ok, in the "unpack" folder is a file called "daytona.ptf", rename it to
"daytonaNP.ptf" & move it to the "daytonaNP" folder, then delete the
"unpack" folder.
Open the "track.ini" with notepad & edit the line "track_name_short =
Daytona" to
read "track_name_short = Daytona (No Plates)", and edit the line
"chassis_type = 1" to read "chassis_type = 2".
Right, that's the track done, now you've just got to make it show up in the
game.
In the NASCAR4\series\cup folder is a file called "all.ini", open it with
notepad
& copy the section,
[ Event6 ]
day = 19 ; Day of the event [1-31]
month = 3 ; Month of the event [1-12]
name = Daytona 500 ; Name of the event
numberOfLaps = 200 ; Number of laps for the race
session
trackDirectory = daytona ; Directory for the track data
startingGrid = 1 ; Starting grid: grid_2x2_InLinePoleOnLeft
& paste it in after the daytona entry, leaving a blank line at both ends,
edit the [ Event6 ] to [ Event7 ] & edit the line "trackDirectory = daytona"
to "trackDirectory = daytonaNP".
Now go through the rest of the events changing the event numbers to keep
them
consecutive, at the end of the "all.ini" is
[ Season ]
name = All Tracks ; Name of the season
numEvents = 24 ; Number of events in the season
year = 2000 ; Year for the season
Edit "numEvents = 24" to "numEvents = 25" and save.
You've just got to do that all again twice more for Daytona-Night &
Talladega & your finished,
That's it all done, and they even show up in the best laps screen.
