Ah, Sorry about that Dan, thanks for moving it to the correct place

in-game i have strange black stripes running over the car

if i want to resolve do i have to look in the main file or the speccoc file?
EDIT: already solved it myself

Hi all...still working on TTLAI but I'm having a small issue:

I used Ryder's BXML converter to convert states.bin to states.xml
I edited states.xml to allow for top teams at Career start.
Then I used Fergo's BXML converter to convert states.xml (text format) to states.xml (binary xml format).
I then changed the extension on the file from states.xml to states.bin

The game loads, but I can't scroll through any menus...the left & right keys don't work (everything else does).

What programs and/or methodology do I need to edit the states.bin file while still leaving it in a format the game likes?

 

[juvone]

oops.

 

[Petar Tasev]

@snthennumbers Could be due to the fact that Gulbroz's program is outdated. use the BXML Converter to convert back to binary.

Watch out, watch out, watch out....there's a PT about....

Hey ho Ryder....hows it hanging?

OK I've tried this using the readme guide and I cannot get it to work for the life of me. I work with computers so this shouldn't be too hard.

I keep getting access denied errors to whatever directory I specify. I tried making a folder on the desktop, gave Everyone full control over it, put the exe, the dll, the shortcut, and the text xml file all in there. Access denied. I'm on Windows 7. I've run it as Admin too...all that stuff.

This can't be this difficult >.<


Edit: I got it working, I was making shortcuts to the exe with arguments and all sorts of fancy stuff...reading way too much into it lol

 

[Petar Tasev]

Glad you got it to work!


Haha, hey ML, things same as always. Just trying to help where I can.

I have added my team mates name to Language file but her name still didn't appear on race report. Her name on race reports are XX.

Also when i changed the player ID card all i see this this weird graphics like this:

I added April Swift to language but her name appears as XX in the race comments after the race and her picture is as above

Anyone know how to fix that?

Hi mate,

This is a modding question so belongs in our Modding questions thread - I will go ahead and move it there for you.

you changed the name also in database?

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

in ps, how can you get this kind of shape :

based on this:

 

[Hawaiian Guy]

Yes i have added a new person in database called April Swift

 

[uv316]

ANybody figured out how to get the a.i quicker in qualifying yet? Depending on where I set the track difficulties I currently have two choices:

1. Qualify a second a lap quicker than anybody else and have a reasonably competetive race but start every race from pole

OR

2. Start in whatever position on the grid and then lose place after place in the race.

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

that's not the way to do it, seen in the pic you replaced her for vettel, instead of adding her into the game, you had to replace vettels name with hers

 

[Lesley Buurlage]

how can i solve this?
