Re: SCGT: Fun!!

I believe Revved's sound pack (the latest version) fixes this with louder recordings of the incar engine sound and softer recordings of outside engine noise. It should be found at either http://www.gtinsider.com or http://www.littleracer.com Racer X Veteran Sim Racer #4 Corvette C5-R in the GTIC #24 Monte Carlo in the DORL Victory Lane- http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Speedway/1423/

Bruce, the patch gives cars around you the outside sounds and your car in the dash view has the inside sounds. You can adjust these with a wav player. Also many guys who have worked out new sounds have already done this. Glad to see you like the game, to me its a blast, but still a challenge. Easier then GPL, but it should be since the tires are twice as wide and 10 times as sticky. Dave Robinson GTIC # 5 Saleen Mustang

Yep, SCGT is great fun. It's the kind of game you can play while drinking a cup of coffee. :) It's also got some great features- 1) Pit-stops for fuel, tyres and to repair damage 2) A career mode 3) Wet weather races 4) Night racing

My son just obtained a second-hand copy of SCGT and this is FUN!! :-) why wasn't I advised of this before now??!! He's updated it with a patch (1.5 or something) and some car shapes but there is one thing that we both find annoying and that's the sound. Is there any way to modify the ratio of player car sound to AI car sounds? When driving in a pack it is impossible to pick out you sound from all those other screaming Porsches and BMWs!! Any assistance would be appreciated. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. ---------------------------

that is the tough part. Each car has a matching .veh file that contains all the info about the car. Included in the .veh file are the various .wav files used for the sounds. Usually there are 4 .wav files. Two for Idle and Two for acceleration. You need to find out the name of the car you have chosen...which isn't easy, and then find the matching .veh file. Once you've done that, you can look up in the sound folder the .wav files that are shown in the .veh file. The best way is to look at the car #'s and try and match it up. My sounds folder has tons of extra sound files so I don't know what is original and what has been added on later. But I see 4 .wav files that start with BMW3 two of them have a last letter e and two have the last letter i so I'm "guessing" IF these are the original sounds, the two with an i ending are intererior sounds..try editing those. BMW3ii.wav & BMW3ri.wav in the sounds 22k folders. BMW3ie.wav & BMW3re.wav "should" be the exterior files. But You'll need someone more familiar with the stock sounds to figure that out. dave henrie Karl Zosel wrote:

Thanks David.

Yea, I tried the demo last night. Pretty good. But has the damage modelling been tweaked in the latest version? Seems I can ram a railing with not too much damage being inflicted. Also I have noticed that with two cotrollers on my computer it defaults to the second ID# instead of ID#1. All games (except EAW) default to controller ID#1 when more than one device is installed. Has this been fixed in the full game or am I going to have to switch ID#'s everytime I go to play this game? I like it though and will probably buy it regardless of the above issues. -- Nos

The manufacturers wouldn't sign off on seeing images of their pretty cars dinged up so ISI had to disable the damage. Your car still takes damage, they just can't show it. there are several patches out there that turn on the damage modeling but even then it is nothing special. The game "should" recognize the first device, but remember it was started pre-Win98. I'm not sure how well it will like two devices connected. I always make it a point to only have one active device. Unless trying to mix and match pedals and wheels of course. It is more convieniant to be able to leave the different joysticks active, but I've found not all developers expected this and sometimes odd things happen. make sure you get the Advanced OPtions Editor as well to disable the very sticky grass they programmed. And the better physics availble via that editor. dave henrie Nos wrote:

OK, I'll get the editor, thx. I have two game controllers on the USB ports so it's not a problem for games, it's just the ID# that needs to be switched around on some games. I will be attaching a wheel/pedal combo to the game port on my SB Live! soon so I will have three devices attached and don't forsee any problems. Another thing I noticed in the demo is that with a V3 I don't have the 1024x768 res available to me, that should only happen with a V2. Is that fixed in the patch? -- Nos

Open up the vehicle.mas and look to see what sound coursponds tothe BMW inside sound. Do not save the file or change the Mas file since you notepad is a will screw up file. then go out and change the volume with a sound recorder. That is what I did. Also if you get the new GTVE it will give you the wav file name when you open up the BMW file. GTVE is great, I have created a lot of cars with it and you can really do a lot to change handling and hp of cars. It only changes the chassis values not the body.

Yes, as I have discovered, Simon, it is possible (although I don't think I'd want to do it) to race for 24 hours! I also like the fact that, in a long race, it is possible to slot a relief driver into the cockpit, go out shopping and then take over again. However, the driver that I hired for the 3-hour race I did yesterday will not be returning.....he was bloody pathetic, to say the least. :-) -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Simon Brown <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a8wT4.6613$[email hidden]... > Yep, SCGT is great fun.

Definitely better with the more realistic (slippery) grass and track surface...the latter being great in the wet. -- Regards, Bruce Kennewell, Canberra, Australia. --------------------------- Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > The manufacturers wouldn't sign off on seeing images of their pretty > cars dinged up so ISI had to disable the damage.

I guess it doesn't really matter because I see most of the add-on dash's are only in 640x480 and 800x600. One last question sort of related to SCGT. I thought I would try some of the add-ons with the demo to see if they would work until I get the full game, only the add-on dash's work so far. I tried this file named FerrariF399-SchumacherSCGT(Version2_0).exe. Has it's own installer/uninstaller. It didn't work so I ran the uninstaller, it ran some commands and the last one was something about rebooting. I did reboot my computer at some point during the evening and saw that it was changing system something or other. When I got into windows I had no mouse and generic vid drivers loaded! Had to restore my registry from a previous version to fix it. I had tried a few files for SCGT that evening, but this is the only one that had an uninstaller and that's why I supect it was the culprit. I do run a virus check on all files I download and it was clean. Just wondering if you or anyone else that plays SCGT have run into a similar problem with this or any other file for SCGT? -- Nos

just about ANY add-on for SCGT is for the full game. There are about 5 quick fixes for the demo, and thats about it...I'd recomend against trying to get any of the full game utils working with the demo. glad you were able to get things backed up. dave henrie Nos wrote:

You just type scanreg in dos and choose which reg backup you want to restore. I picked up a copy of SCGT cdrom calssic edition today for $16.00 CDN so I have the full version now. Already added a few cars, dash's and better sounds. Think I'll stay away from that schumacher file though. :-) -- Nos
