N2: Trying to figure out new cars

I'm very experienced in N1 and am getting frustrated with N2. I've downloaded several .car files and have put them in BOTH my car and N2 directories to make sure I didn't miss something. In the game I go to the "New Driver" mode and it gives me the list of files available. I see the new file, but when I click on "OK" it doesn't do anything. If I try to type the name in manually it tells me that file already exists. Also, those files aren't showing up on the left side column allowing me to just add them to the field of cars. Lastly, the exported file names seem a bit confusing. If I'm right, there isn't a set group of pcx names. It seems like the names are based on whatever you initially named the driver. I need some help here seriously. I'm trying to get a decent carset to run with that is more than just the 36 real drivers Papyrus has provided. Please help me to get these .car files into my game. Thanks a lot. Tim

I know someone else who was having this problem as well. After re-installing Nascar2, it went away. Perhaps a file somehow got corrupted. Yes, the pcx file is named based on the name of the .car file. -- Emory University Graduate School of Arts & Sciences The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative Nascar Setups Page: http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

REPLY: I've been through all of the problems that you've said and even more. To the best of my knowledge it's completely messed up. These bugs have been forwarded to Papyrus. Were not the only ones. When you use multiplayer with car creation you get a new set of problems as well. Personally I feel Papyrus knew all of the above as well, it's not like we dug real deep, they're very very visable problems. I'm assuming they're working on these problems currently. Q.B.M.
