Hi there, I ran a race on Hawaii recently and saved the replay. I ran out of disk space during the save, but I still managed to keep 23 Meg of .RPY file. When I try to load the replay, several seconds of disk activity tell me the machine is trying, but it boots me back to the menu screen soon enough. Something (like the lack of the end of the file) is preventing the file from loading. Is there any way I can 'patch up' the end of the file so that I can fool the program into thinking the file is complete? Or..something? Anyone had this problem before? Can this replay be saved? Thanks, Steve Bevacqua -Parsival on Hawaii

Sounds like you need FIXRPY. You can get it from the Late Night website - the URL is in my sig. Dave Sparks IWCCCARS Project: http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html-ssi Late Night Series: http://www.sequoia-dev.com/Hawaii/latenite.html

Thanks Dave, Actually, I used splitrpy (yours, I think) to split the file into 9 recognizeable parts. I then used mergerpy (from Bill Corrigan) to put them back together. Thanks. -Steve Bevacqua -Parsival on Hawaii
