We have an issue when racing at home on our PCs and NASCAR 2003 during LAn races. The racers that join a race do not always see the AI cars. We have to exit to the main menu and try again multiple times before the cars are visable; not a disaster but still an annoying issue. Additionaly the race host sees the racers who join the race not in their chosen paint schemes and they have solid colored cars with triple digit car numbers. I have burned and copied the tracks off a master disc and the car sets as well to assure that we are runnig the same cat sets and track configurations on all three PCs. Is this a known problem? Are there fixes to our issues? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Joe
Joe... AI I cant help you with, AFAIK now... if player one has his "own" or one of the carset car picked... well 1st of all, you'll need to notice inside the MAIN SCREEN click on PLAYER INFO screen, NOTICE that there is a car for ONLINE and OFFLINE which you are able to select for each series, ONLINE still used in LANs... OFFLINE means by yourself against AI no networking at all. Old but kept that way I guess since early days... ALSO notice the file name of car selected. Now as long as each other player, has a copy of that same exactly named carfile (minus the ".car" is shown on screen), is PLACED in his ...Series/{MOD}/cars/ ((MOD right there, means CUP, CTS, BGN, etc...)) folder. Example, lets say if that Lan_host1 say, DOESN'T have lan_person1's carfile, then on Lan_Host1's screen, that lan_person1's car is represented with GENERIC single color cars without numbers painted on it. this will be true on lan_host1's PC and anyone else that doesnt have the Correcly named file in the correct location...
