ENJOY PEEPS!!

[Paranhos]

Hey mate, just to let you know:

-You can put the background and interface folders in the media folder of your mod, there's no need to replace anything in Program Files/NSGP/Media with the exception of track tiles and objects. ;)

- You can use any of my tracks if you'd like to, just give me credits on the mod if you're interested. :)

[Dan'on Hill]

yeah i knew that cheers para, just thought it would be easier for peeps. But ive change the folder as you said, UPDATED!

What tracks have you got?

i would love the 2010 tracks but not entirely sure how to go about it mate...

[Paranhos]

Here's my track list: http://www.newstargames.com/newstarforum/showthread.php?t=10200

I thought you might be interested in my Realistic Pits Pack (http://www.newstargames.com/newstarforum/showpost.php?p=96994&postcount=1), it has Australia, Malaysia and China with their pits entrances more realistic.

[Dan'on Hill]

To be honest para, and thanks for the sentiment, im not sure how to do tracks and worried i might mess the mod up.
Thats why ive kept the 2009 tracks, ill ive done is replaced the object file, and its worked with 12 teams.

If you could clarify whats to be done please. What do i replace etc etc..??

---------
ALSO PARA YOU SEEM TO KNOW YOUR WAY ROUND THIS GAME
ive noticed this problem.

ive set the fuel consumption in engine file to 0.0010 (changed to default for mod, dont worry) to make fuel go quicker.
i do 20lap races, and on australia, i can fill the tank and the car does roughly 10/11 laps (perfect for a 1 stop, without loads of access fuel?!)

i take the same whole setup to malaysia, and the 1st stint on a full tank will only go 7/8 laps. Which means i cant one stop.
Does lap length play a part to,in fuel consumption?

What can i change to make the car on a full tank do half the race on every circuit. without 5/6 laps spare!

[Cookie Monster]

There's a problem though, there's no refueling anymore so a car has to do a full race which theoretically renders fuel useless.

[Dan'on Hill]

I realize this but for the sake of the mod, and troubles with turning fuel off (ai cars starting on different fuel loads, the other thread mentioned ai weight still takes in to consideration even vo fuel is off.). I have left the fuel wear on.

[Dan'on Hill]

Updated news page, see screenies!!!

[Herchi]

thank you for your new mod.

Anyway, I have a problem. All the teams appears in the beggining, but when I choosed McLaren (for example) in the game the "Hispania Team" disappears.

[Dan'on Hill]

Hmm are you doing season or quick race?

Ive just tested two tracks (aus/may) with a mclaren (season), and i had full 12 teams working. Even my screenshots above have all cars showing :)

For some reason, quick race wont work, i need to alter the trk (elsewhere i dunno) files, but im a little hesitant.

ow yes... I was looking them in the button of the teams. It has a limit of number of teams showed in this section.

In the game all the drivers run, sorry :) Thanx

PD: When siread could make the NSGP2? We want all the teams, the new points, etc.

[Dan'on Hill]

I was going to ask is there a way to change the points allocation Siread?

[regiorgio]

after i installed this mod on my pc the game races go in slow motion!! why? without any mod it goes perfect! what can i do?

[Gopez]

Just wanted to say thanks for a great mod! :clap:

[Herchi]

Did you hear the grass when the car is driving in it?

I have this problem. Without the mod I heard the grass and the white lines, but with it no :(


Sometimes I can't hear my motor, only sometimes.

[Brad]

I was going to ask is there a way to change the points allocation Siread?

There isnt, its fixed in-game.

[Dan'on Hill]

has anyone got this mod to run normally?

I can only see those problems u guys are having being related to cpu performance. Im not sure how a mod, can effect performance really.

[Kamil hazy]

For me it works fine :)

Nice work btw. :)

[Denby]

Yea the mod works great for me! The changes to the game are fantastic, especially the fact that the cars don't drift around corners anymore! I'm on a mac, and the only problem is registration, its taking FOREVER and i end up having to force quit new star, so i cant seem to get it registered, maybe it's just my computer or internet, but i wouldn't think so, I don't know.

Anyone?

[Dan'on Hill]

Yeah i had the same problem too (im on a macbook :) )
pm siread with your serial key and email address, and he will send you a full version unlocked.
He decided to stop with the serial key versions for some reason.
Dan

p.s glad u like the mod :)

[Dan'on Hill]

Ver 1.3 to download including fuel tweaks and tyre tweaks.
http://www.newstargames.com/newstarforum/showthread.php?t=10829

See above for reason for changes.

Ive also increased the drift a little just so it feels like the cars arent on rails so much lol

Thanks very much.

Just one request, would you please upload a version that has the normal games level of collision damage. I love the way your version drives but I am awful at the game and am pretty much incapable of finishing races with the level of damage that you have in your mod.

Thanks.

[ravezz]

Thanks.

You can simply do this on your own.
Go into the mod folder, then into the folder "Settings" and open the file Engine.ini.

You'll find these two lines:

damage_wall=5.0
damage_cars=0.6

You can change the values as you want them to be. :)

[Dan'on Hill]

ver1.4 to download, which includes a slight tweak in the global handling characteristics. this now makes the car not so easy in slow corners to drive around fast. Some tracks you could literally go around without taking off the accelerator, this setting gives more of a realistic challenge, (especially in the newer teams lol)

If you dont fancy having to download the whole mod again, just go into your engine file (explained by ravezz above) and change:

handling_standard=1.8 (new setting!)

For new users please download whole package.
Regards

[w1lla]

there was in the old 1.3 mod a huge bug...

25% of the cars crashed at all the same spots...

Bahrein gp corner 17.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain_Grand_Prix

[Dan'on Hill]

im not sure whats in the mod that could cause this??

EDIT:I HAVENT CHANGED THE HANDLING TILL 1.4?!

[Dan'on Hill]

I have changed the handling standard, but im sort of convinced that it doesnt effect the ai, they still have good turning in speed !??!?!

Anyone??

EDIT:IVE INFACT HAVE TESTED THIS AND IT DIOES AFFECT THE AI!

[Paranhos]

If you change the cars' top speed, handling, acceleration and stuff, you'll probably have to re-do the tracks' racing lines. That happened to me once (http://www.newstargames.com/newstarforum/showthread.php?t=10481) in Super Laser Racer.

[felipe1337]

Whenever you change a global stat ALL cars in the track will be affected, sooo, be less drastic on your changes or modify the tracks

[Dan'on Hill]

errrrrr yeah thanks i did!

You dont have to change the tracks not for my changes anyway!!

[Dan'on Hill]

This is by far the best tweak ive done to this mod (1.4) the racing is superb now, you actually have to stick to driving lines apexes etc To get the most out of your car and the quickest lap. No more just turning the car in and it would cope!!
Even the Ai make small mistakes, ive followed button at malaysia, and he out braked himself going into a tight turn...(cant remember what one mind you)
The Ai for some reason just dont drive like on rails..

MUST TRY!!!

[Dan'on Hill]

VER 1.5 to download

fixed major track bug at turkey, where cars would slow down (as if on grass)on start/finish straight tile?!?, and also tidied up DB driver file.

[Dan'on Hill]

Sorry for the updates guys, but im finding as someone else noticed little track bugs.

thanks to willa, (lol i finally got it 1) :)
ver1.5a now fixes the constant pile up of cars in turn 17 at bahrain.

im currently going thru the tracks one by one, tweaking and fixing odd things.
One thing im hoping for is to make the hairpin (source) at spa more authentic (tighter)

keep ya posted. (lol whoevers using this mod haha!!!)

[desiganp]

hi mega upload says file temporary unavailable. pls post new file thank you sir/

[felipe1337]

Megaupload sucks, use mediafire

[Cookie Monster]

Megaupload is so much better... anyway it'll be up in a while, MU always takes a while to get their files up. But it'll be fast to download.

[Sida79]

All those sites that make you wait suck :) I've never understood their use for purposes which sites like box.net can fulfill perfectly.
an on topic edit: this mod is insane! :) 1/3 of the races I don't finish and 2/3 I finish last :) I don't have the AI reflexes so sadly no matter how much I try to avoid them they keep crashing into me and just a couple of those light bumps leave me lapped on the extreme difficulty :)

[Dan'on Hill]

sida im not sure if your happy or frustrated by my mod. But however i have increased the Ai level on hard quite considerably, (extreme didnt touch) if your having a tough time with the (realistic damage/ai speed) you can always turn down the their respective engine levels, someone mentioned in a previous post. But i agree if you use one of the bottom 3 teams its quite a challenge to get in the top 15!!
dan

[Rory426]

Where is the file you have to replace within the mod folder? I've copied the folder like any other mod but I don't understand the rest of the installation

[Dan'on Hill]

lol doing all the updates ive not put the object file back in the extra folder!! ive just upload new version with this file (as of 2:30 may 9 2010)

sorry guys

[Sida79]

@Dan'on - no strong feelings, just commenting.
I like the mod and the difficulty as well, I crank up the difficulty way up when I play anyways.

I also like to, however, play mods as-they-are so I assume you can deal with the AI and I should work on my reflexes as, atm, they demolish me... the AI (so not mod-related) is such that I can easily avoid crashing into them but they just can't help crashing into me and destroying my car :)

[Dan'on Hill]

none taken mate, glad you like, i think on hard the best finish i got in a lotus was 10th lol. its very challenging and i got lucky!!! :)

[Sida79]

I'll let you know if I can match that, but it is definitely more enjoyable this way than almost winning the championship first season with Force India, as I do on extreme without the mod :)

[Dan'on Hill]

yet another danon bloody update !!! haha

right ive revised the source hairpin at spa. Ill leave this one down to you guys if this is a keeper or not. I think the revise works well, and gets the cars too slow down much much more rather more like the real thing! but ive had to add an extra kink for it too work..
Screenie in first post!!

Its not perfect but IMO its better!

As always report an bugs and ill try my best to amend!!:)

[Dan'on Hill]

PLease redownload ver1.6 as of 17:00 pm 9 may 2010 (uk time)
fixed checkpoint issue!!!

[Sida79]

Downloading now... I've had a few issues with not starting where I qualified, with AI exiting the pits and going straight off the track in some crazy loop... I've seen "pit corruption" with drivers lined up next to each other instead one after another... and in turkey my pit crew sent me out on the track in the opposite direction :D

[Dan'on Hill]

turkey is anti-clockwise track, i think the pits are pointing in the wrong direction vo,. the random donuts the ai do i cant fix..

i havent had the not starting where i qualified bug vo.

[thelunnster]

Yeah, i've had that in Turkey with the newest teams but also everytime i drove down the start/finish straight it put me in the pits (I was in a Virgin Racing car) and i finished last!
any chance of a fix as it's a pain!

[Dan'on Hill]

ive uploaded version 1.6a, with a fix to the turkey problem, i noticed the virgin cars wasnt starting on their pit slots but by the straight wall.. this may have soemthing to do with the error above.

there might be a few of these "a" versions coming out as people are finding something new everyday :(

[Sida79]

Megaupload still giving me the "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable." routine :(
edit: made it! been bugging me yesterday and today for a short while.
Why not like this, no waiting: http://www.box.net/shared/iznuxei83g

Btw, don't pay attention to the mentioned bug, I think it's something that happens on my computer occasionally even without the mod.

[Dan'on Hill]

ive just updated 1.6a again fixing the bahrain ai pit donuting shenanigans lol.

Ive still yet to have the not starting where i qualyied bug vo! im keeping an eye out for that.

yeah give MU at while or keep refreshing it even gives me that it will work eventually!

For you guys that have to keep downloading a new mod folder, just overwrite the track folder in your current mod folder. As at the moment im only updating tracks from version 1.5a!!!

[Dan'on Hill]

added new link and new version!!!

now i can see hits and more info

hope this works better for you guys

[Dan'on Hill]

TO MY FAITHFUL FOLLOWING
I got over 10 downloads in 24hrs, i should of put my file on that server at the beginning, like to know how many users overall

thanks for your interest....

hope we made it a more enjoyable game for you

[redmelons]

Are you going to fix the 'rain not affecting grip' issue please?

[Dan'on Hill]

guys i have a great update coming for you tonight (fingers crossed) that will be great for this mods authenticity>>>

to come 1.7!!!!!!!!

redmelons-sorry i havent got the control to change that, as its in the system, if i could i would change the points system too!! :)

[redmelons]

i havent got the control to change that, as its in the system

I would have thought that too, but your mod definitely changes the wet performance. In the standard game (without mod) there is a definite difference in grip when raining, but when using your mod there is no difference in performance when wet or dry.

Your mod has also reintroduced rain at desert tracks :eh:

[Dan'on Hill]

im not sure how thats happened, i havent changed climate or wet grip (there is nowhere to edit that!!)

[Paranhos]

Yes there is, the 'climate' column in the tracks table, NSGP.db file in your mod. 1 is loads of rain, 2 is average, and 3 is desert climate.

[Dan'on Hill]

thanks para i meant the wet grip, but now i know what the parameters are. :)
cheers

[Dan'on Hill]

ver 2.0 beta for download.


see first post for details!!

This is a beta release and may possible have errors. Also i cant seem to get more than 17 tracks working so abu dhabi wont load. its a big file as i copied whole folders so installing would be easier!
i have slao fixed the raining at desert tracks as well bug. Wet grip has always been a problem even before my mod...so nothing i can do there.

also its missing korea, which i hope to work on if i have time.sorry
--otherwise please enjoy:)

bed for me now lol:clap:

screenshots to come!!

[Dan'on Hill]

im near completeing the korean gp 2010 track, im quite pleased with it, if i add it too this mod, i will lose the last 2 gps brazil and abu dhabi..

[redmelons]

NOOOOOOO! Brazil is one of the best tracks!

[Dan'on Hill]

i know my fav too, im trying desperately to figure out how to have 19 tracks.. anyone??? Si!??! cookie?!?! helelellepeppeppp memememem!!! plelelleaaassseee

[Dan'on Hill]

v.2.1= All 19 2010 races in official order, including KOREA!! and more tweaks....

p.s the only thing now lol is to work out how the game plays 19 races, haha

[Cookie Monster]

There's a file that needs to be edited... I think it's the Settings.ini , there you can change some season length variable.

[Dan'on Hill]

There's a file that needs to be edited... I think it's the Settings.ini , there you can change some season length variable.

yeah ive done that set to 19 races, 19 trk files, and 19 pngs and 19 db entries!??!

i cant for the life of me get it to see 19 races, ive even looked in the coded files.!!

:(:wall:

i personally dont think it can be done.....?!

[Dan'on Hill]

21 downloads and no comments lol

must be good hehe!!!:dance::clap:

[Dan'on Hill]

i have noticed some font errors (qualy page & news page) being a bit too big. so if any one has any ideas i can put in future update (which will come sry!) nows your time to get requests in!!!!

regards dan

[Dan'on Hill]

v.2.2= Fixed further font size issues, few tweaks at korea and changed the collision size on the side of cars, now the ai should leave more of a gap beside you!

im sorry for the amount of updates, but im a perfectionist and im almost 100& happy with this mod :):dance:

this should be the last for a while!!!

only thing left is getting it to run 19 races, which no one can help obviously..........

.........si you out there?????

[Sida79]

May I just ask... about the overwritting of folders in your "most importantly" section of the how-to-install part in the introductory post - what does it do exactly? :) Because I've skipped that part the first time I installed, then saw it and done it, restarted the game and everything... but I did not see any difference compared to when I just put the mod in the mod folder? :)

[Dan'on Hill]

These files that your overwriting with, are the track layout pngs/tiles and html for the style of the interface. At least without the track pngs and tiles the mod wont work. the panels folders is too make the mod "look" nicer, in terms of not having overflowing text and stuff. Its not entirely needed to run.

JUST BACK UP YOUR WHOLE NSGP EXE BEFORE OVERWRITING ANYTHING!!!

track folder=new track layout images on track profile

tiles= objects/tiles etc, to run new tracks

panels=font/style changes on interface.

[Sida79]

Ah yes, I've seen one of two of those... isn't there an option for those to be inside the mod folder as well?

[Dan'on Hill]

EDIT!!!
Just tried. :)
no this wont work those three folders inside the source NSGP exe MUST be overwritten!!!

[Cookie Monster]

So you changed the NSGP exe? If that's the case then I'll have to take your link down.

[Dan'on Hill]

no i havent i have done no different than overwriting the pit object file, just more files.

[Dan'on Hill]

the game actually does suppport all 19 races!!!!!!!

it just doesnt show them all in the track calander!!!! When you actually come to week 18 it will run normally!!!

----- Also guys i know the online tourney guys i gonna go mad, but i must make one fix, the spa hairpin is broken the ai dont take it right.

[Dan'on Hill]

v.2.3= Fixed bug at new spa source hairpin, and reverted collisions settings back to release default. No more over aggressive ai!

Im so sorry to the guys using my mod online and are waiting for me to settle with it. But thats whats happens when you start creating new stuff, u notice bugs along the way. this one was crashing all the ai at the first corner (no one wants that) hey windows aint bug free on release hehe

Anyway the mod will run 19 races it just wont show the tracks in the calender, also it will show your driver profile (hrt/virgin) once you click on team profiles, then disappear when you choose next team. Just come out and go back in. Like wise to the tracks to, as long as you racing/at at the 2 last tracks..

This will be hopefully my last update for a long while, i hear a huge sigh of relief.

im so sorry and thank you for your patience.Again!!!

[Brad]

Awww, I liked the over-aggressive AI who just wrecked my car while trying to battle it out for 17th position, lol.

[Rory426]

2.3 works great, AI is much better

[Dan'on Hill]

Cheers rory..


But guys i havent had much feedback from my new korean track, thats either good news or bad news. But does concern me what you guys think?

[Brad]

Cheers rory..


But guys i havent had much feedback from my new korean track, thats either good news or bad news. But does concern me what you guys think?

I have'nt got to Korea yet, ive only just finished the Canadian race, seeing as I race 20 laps on Hard, it takes a while to get through the races.

[Dan'on Hill]

fair enough :( just thought some one would quick race it to see it..

nevermind


p.s i do 20 laps hard as well, best experience i beleive!!

[Sida79]

You too Brad? I'm finding hard too easy, like I said before in my 2nd season with HRT on extreme, when stats rose from 1-1-1 to 2-2-2 I ended up 5th with 68pts :blimey:

[Dan'on Hill]

SIDA just up the number in the engine file then!
AI speed"

its something you can custom yourself, theres no need to say its to easy its something you can set yourself..

[Sida79]

I know Danon, I'm just shocked Brad plays on Hard :)

[Dan'on Hill]

oh ... do you run light fuel loads at all the races?? Try an mix it up,

also in qualy do you use the same amount as fuel as the ai (keep it fair)?

i find it challenging, and i dont smash and pass my way thru.

and i upped the hard level to >comspeed_hard=5575 from >comspeed_hard=5000

[Brad]

I know Danon, I'm just shocked Brad plays on Hard :)

What are you trying to say. I usually find myself getting too annoyed on Extreme, I usually can win on Hard 9 times out of 10.

[Sida79]

Ah, I thought winning 9/10 would not be much of a challenge, therefore - extreme :)

[Brad]

Ah, I thought winning 9/10 would not be much of a challenge, therefore - extreme :)

Whoops, bit of a typo on my part.

I meant to say that 9/10 I CANNOT win on Hard (with Virgin Racing anyway).

Ive started playing on extreme again, and came 9th on my first race with Virgin Racing which isnt too bad, seeing as I am using Dan'on's 1.6 mod which means a slight touch and your DEAD! lol, I prefer it to normal though, makes you drive much more cautiously and make it harder to pass without flaffin up.

[Sida79]

Heh, well good luck with that! I gave up after I've failed to finish any races... or finish last after pitting for repairs :D

[Dan'on Hill]

lol!!!! Drive better!!!!

i can manage..

[Sida79]

I would if I could :)

btw both me and Peter are online now and no one to host :)

[Dan'on Hill]

i might release another update to lower the damage, and bits, but you guys will get the ump :)

im currently testing variables now.

with my settings now it gives you one good hit with another car one more, then you will have to pit (just like real life i suppose)

i'll think ill leave it.....

i think its more of the case of the AI not being that aware to you around them, Thats what i find, they will just turn into you..

[josh8644]

I'm having trouble installing the updates. I follow the instructions but when I try opening up the game it crashes :(
I'm running on mac 10.4 but I'm sure it's just me doing something wrong XD Any extra details you could give me on where files should go?

[Dan'on Hill]

josh no worries mate, i have a mac too :)


that sound like, if its crashing that you havent put the objects in the NSGP (show package) folder. These folders are the tiles, panels and tracks folders in the extras folder.
On a mac right click the nsgp exe, do show package then find the folders (data i think) which are like in the extra folder of my mod. then simply overwrite these. With the ones from my mod. It wont damage the game, ive just tweaked some files. rather than give you the files individually i just supplied the whole folder(s).

[josh8644]

Don't worry all sorted :)
The main problem was me being a fool and not changing the mod option on the start up window :P

[felipe1337]

Heh, well good luck with that! I gave up after I've failed to finish any races... or finish last after pitting for repairs :D
lol
I once crashed into a wall in the last lap on japan, i had some advantage but was smoking badly, won by 0.01(or 0.1) seconds, i thought about turning around and pit, wonder what would happen if i did...

[Dan'on Hill]

lol good one..

im tempted to change the collision settings the AI are getting on my nerves, how many times ive been swerved into, its almost laptop chucking!!!!!!

Im looking at a few varibales, i think damage is okay, it takes 2 good knocks to badly affect you. Its the ai collisions settings that need changing, im coming up with some now..

SO YES THERE MIGHT BE 2.4 LOLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

[josh8644]

Yeah the damage is slightly annoying but makes things interesting :D

The updates are all good now just need them working in quick race xD

[Dan'on Hill]

v.2.4= Tweaked Ai Collision attributes, they should allow a bit more room. Hopefully No more over aggressive ai! Changed some team names to more recognised alias.

sorry peeps i know a lot of pp have commented on the ai collisions and damage, and ill be honest they did annoy me after a while. so here it is, hopefully my final update!!!

enjoy happy racing!!!

[Sida79]

Thanks Dan'on. You've said it all in your post really... the damage settings were perfectly fine, as crashing into an oponnent twice and still running around happily would be more in the spirit of destruction derby, not an actual racing game. What many players probably missed is purely the amount of skill that was needed to avoid AI knocks happening to you :)

[Dan'on Hill]

Yeah sida agreed :)

josh i think to get the tracks in the quick race just copy the mod track folder in extras, to the track folder in the main directory!! when you go to quick race you will probably see 2 sets of tracks.

1-games default tracks
2-my mods tracks

Dan

[Paranhos]

I'm having a bit of trouble downloading your mod, 4shared says that "The file link that you requested is not valid."...

EDIT: Oh nevermind, the link has just popped up. :)

[Dan'on Hill]

try again my friend!:)

[josh8644]

Yeah that worked fine :D
Just gotta rename the files to make sure I know what's what :)

[RoRo123]

Very nice mod!!

Thx you Dan'on Hill :clap::clap:

[Dan'on Hill]

My pleasure roro!!!!

Guys ive been testing this (ai) they are so much more carefull now. I started from the back and before i used to get used as a braking barrier.:wall::doh:

Now i can get thru unscathed, with a little carefull driving aswell. But overall drastic improvement!!!

Anyone using this mod SHOULD get the 2.4 version, in my opinion.!!!!:dance:

[Brad]

Thanks Dan'on, downloading now. Hopefully I wont be wrecked by the 1st lap now, :D

[Dan'on Hill]

yeah i do know what you meant especially lower down the grid lol the driving get s worse further back..

hope this is better 4 you....

but guys u can call me just dan lol thats me name :)

EDIT:

i would like to add that in real f1 a car could maybe take 1-2 fairly hard knocks, then the car would need a pit or retire. My damage setting is around the same, knocking more than 2 cars u would have to pit definitely, one hit, and your car can still be competitive.

OK, Dan it is. :D

[Dan'on Hill]

Right im not sure how to break this to you, but as theres only six downloads, ill do thisnow, and this will be my final one.

Ive been playing some of the back teams and noticed some unrealistic values for the stats, Ive tweaked these now more realistic given real life standings!!! I thought i got this spot on but playing them ive noticed deficiencies.

ver 2.5

this has got to be my last as its driving me slightly mad lol

now im going to hide before the rage!! lol

v.2.5= Tweaked teams stats to more real life standings.

Sorry thank you for your patience :(

[RoRo123]

Hi Dan'on Hill

Is what that is possible in the next versions to have the system of points 2010?



(sry for bad englisch)


:)

[Dan'on Hill]

Your english is fine my friend i understood it...

Im in talks with si at the moment (please dont quote me) for possible future updates to NSGP. I think he has abandoned number 2. So i mentioned how about just updating the current version, then everyones going to be happy. 2010 points is something i would love to have, and i will mention to si if this could be implemented.I woud like to see the finished cars in a race taken off the track for lapping cars, as the profile pages showing all the tracks and teams that have been modded. Im sure he will take into account the online problems too.

But as he is working on the football game, im not sure when he can get on it.

[3chris333]

Firstly, brilliant mod and all the updates, far from being an inconvinience are fine because they improve the game.

One problem I have is I have no car sounds for my car during qualifying only, I have been both Lotus and Virgin and get the same problem, alls fine in practice and the race but no player car sounds in qually, AI sounds are fine, anyone else had this?

PS tried first 5 races of the year, doesn't seem to be track specific

Hope you can help, Chris

[felipe1337]

That's a problem with the game not really with the mod itself, i think it's a driver issue

[3chris333]

But I can play the original game and flowwebs 09 mod with no issues so it must be the mod. I think this mod is amazing but if I can't get the sound to work its just not playable, what drivers do I need to upgrade?

[Dan'on Hill]

i dont think the mod is affecting that, thats hardware/software problem. Ive never had the sound disappear..

[redmelons]

Dan, did you find out why wet weather has no affect on tyre performance in your mod? This bug makes the mod unusable for me because the player can just stay out when all the computer cars are diving into the pits for wets.

[Dan'on Hill]

Its like that in the game before the mod.
Ive always been able to do that even before i created my mod.

[Sida79]

I'm with Dan on both cases :)

The sound issue is a game problem unrelated to the mods, I suppose it can happen for a mod to further accentuate an issue but that is out of modder's hands.

Wet weather also never has an effect on performance. Depending on the style of track you may notice a slight increase in your sliding ability, but one that will not negatively influence your lap times.

[felipe1337]

On the wet weather thingy, when it's raining you slide more and you can't reach your top speed, i think you are limited to 300 or 320.

[LBStrange]

Gutted, I installed v2.5 incorrectly...bugger!

Now the game crashes straight away...should i download the whole game again?

[felipe1337]

no, just install from the installer you have, btw, simply placing it in the mod folder, is it that hard?

[LBStrange]

Is that sarcasm?

[felipe1337]

Might could be, but seriously, don't you keep backups? I also assume that installing it is like any other mod. But i may be wrong, messing around with the core game is never a good idea though.

[Paranhos]

I think you have to move some files into the NSGP installation folder as well, some tracks use custom track tiles and objects...

[LBStrange]

As soon as I get to the 4th race in championship the game crashes. Anyone else had this issue?

[Dan'on Hill]

How coincidental, ive just finished week 4 (2mins ago) , and no it didnt crash. im just doing spain now in a toro rosso..:)

[RoRo123]

I continue a magnificent season on this mod, but regrettably games crash in the gp of Canada: (

Anybody does not have the same problem?

[Dan'on Hill]

i havent got there yet...

but have you copied all the new track tiles into the nsgp directory?

[Dan'on Hill]

REACHED 60 DOWNLOADS!!!!

whooa cheers guys for the support, as well as the guests that havent registered. i know a lot of you are from the NSGP thread i put on the f1:2010 (codemasters) site..... Yo guys sign up get involved with the championships and stuff, and generally have your say about the mods and the game!!!:dance::clap:

[Sida79]

respecT! :)

[Dan'on Hill]

NOW OVER 100 DOWNLOADS!!!!!

Incredible

thanks guys....

[thelunnster]

I've got an odd little fault for ya Danon.

I have played your mod for two seasons so far and both times i had a strange problem in Brazil. After Qualifying it listed everyone as DNQ and after the race it listed everyone as DNF. It has done this on both seasons.

Other than that fantastic Mod!

[Dan'on Hill]

:thx lunster.... hmmm ive not got as far as brazil yet, so havent seen that bug. Has anyone else had this??

I will try and look into it.....

Thanks again "danon mod" players!!!:)

[MrPonx]

Hi All,

Can someone please give me a step-by-step guide on how to install the mod on MAC?

I've placed the mod folder in the Documents/New Star GP folder

things seem to be working but I can't see the new tracks!

and when I check the "New Game" section I get the name of the tracks correct but the but the small track image is incorrect.

another problem is, when I reached Canada, the game froze!


I've tried playing with the game's folder with no avail, the game boots out as soon as I open it if I replace the Media folders with "Extras" and "Media" folders from the MOD..


help please?

[Dan'on Hill]

ponx, im sorry for the wait..

but as far as the instructions in first post, theres not much more...but i will try to explain further...

-Unzip downloaded danon folder
-Move the 2.5 folder into mod folder in game source menus.
-this folder also contains an extra folder. (holds extra tracks layout and image data etc)
-U need to right click on new star gp exe, and show package contents.
-u need to drive to contents/resources/data/
-from here, u need to move (not copy) the panels folder (in extra) into the skin folder (in data), overwriting the existing panels folder
-also u need to go in the media folder (in data) and overwrite the tiles and tracks folder (also from extras)
-load game, and switch on my mod, from the mod option, on boot up
-voila cant get any clearer, hope this helps..

Dan

[floweb]

Thank you very much for this great mod!! Very good job! :D

Haven't played NSGP for months, but I still enjoy playing this game. Looking forward to NSGP 2, which hopefully will be released before the last GP in season 2010 :)

Edit: Unfortunately, I found two bugs: Belgium & Brazil tracks aren't working (Belgium results are mixed up with the results of the Italian GP. NSGP records no time in the Brazilian GP). In my opinion, Ferrari, Lotus, Virgin are too strong and the order of the teams are mixed up.

The Korean track is awesome!!

[Phlox]

Hey, great mod!

But I have a bit of a problem, I'm at canada, and the game crashes whenever I try to load Saturday practice?

I'm not sure if I've installed the game right either, because none of the new tracks show up in quick race.

[Dan'on Hill]

Thanks for the great compliments guys. Glad you all like!!

Floweb: Glad u like korea cheers! Regarding the teams performance, i calculated these after the first few races, ferrari were doing well then :(. The other two teams do puzzle me, as they seem to outperform their own stats!?!?
Which sometimes makes me think does the driver (maybe age experience) affect the team performance?? This has puzzled me and i have tweaked the lower teams once already, their stats cant really be any lower than they already are. As for the tracks well thats something i need to look in, and any help would be grateful, as im tied up in work n home at mo.

plox: thanks for comments, and i think you need to install the extra folder (found in mod download) Check post 137 above for details, on how to do this.

Dan

[Sida79]

The championship winning drivers are faster than others but that should not affect Lotus and Virgin :)

[felipe1337]

Put HRT and VIRGIN at 0 stats, give lotus 1/1/1 haha!

[MrPonx]

great mod

[Anthony Morris]

belgian Gp doesn't count the laps and even if I'm first on qualifying I was last on the race, I even waited for the P2 to pass me then passed him again but Im still the last car. The lap counter worked but was late, It's supposed to be the 3rd lap but on the lap counter it was the 2nd lap

[Dan'on Hill]

hhmmm i really need to look into these belgian gp probs just finding the time at the moment. Sound like a checkpoint prob but then u say qualy worked!?!

any other probs with belgian anyone. is this an isolated error or is it repeatable by others?

[Dan'on Hill]

Also to add...... i may will be bringing a further update out to implement the new silverstone layout.:dance:

Including a possible fix for the belgium bugs.:doh::wall:

[LBStrange]

Allgood Dan, it's about time isn't it, been a while between drinks:)

Lovin ya mod, but yea i've had a few minor issues with lap counting, finishing first but placing last and track layouts different to what is actually being raced (eg. it says im racing canada but end up racing Monza)etc but it only seems to happen in the 2nd season and there after?

No biggy tho, keep up the hard work!

[Paranhos]

Also to add...... i may will be bringing a further update out to implement the new silverstone layout.:dance:

LOL, I was thinking of doing the exact same thing...

[Dan'on Hill]

by all means para if you have started ill be more than happy to put your version in my mod with your consent of course. I was going to start it at the weekend.

Those laps errors worry me, and if they only happen in the second season, then that worries me even more as i wouldnt know where to look to adjust that:rolleyes::(

Maybe its something ill pass onto Si?!

[Paranhos]

That's likely to be the checkpoints' fault. I'll take a look at your tracks to see if that's the problem... ;)

[Dan'on Hill]

Thanks para appreciate if you could...

I could understand if its the checkpoints but why only the second season??! :(

[ozdemir]

i think i am making a mistake but i don't know it.

first i copied the mod folder to /mydocuments/nsgp/mods

then i copied the folders in extras to program files/nsgp

i changed the old folders and files..

nothing happened.. still cant see mod when i start the game..

i read the instuctions..

''-On a pc, i think it installs 2 folders, find the same folder in program files, as above and overwrite with the same folders.''

''Go to contents/resource/data/.... and replace the
folders in the "media/skin" folder, with the ones from the "mod/extra" folder.''

i installed the game again and there isn't ''contents and skin'' folders.. i looked every folder i think.. i think i need an instruction for pc(windows7) again.. or you just can say: am i missing something?

thanks

[Dan'on Hill]

have you selected the mod in the mod option on startup screen?

I have a mac, so im not 100% sure of PC instruction sorry :( para can you help please? :)

[Paranhos]

Thanks para appreciate if you could...

I could understand if its the checkpoints but why only the second season??! :(

Perhaps he only went off-track and missed the checkpoint on the 2nd season... xD

[ozdemir]

that's the point.. i can not see the mod in the mod option on startup screen.

i just want to see real names of teams and drivers. and the team logos..

is there a way to change it?

[Paranhos]

Yes, and it's included in this mod.

To install his mod you must move two folders:

The "Dan'on Hill 2010 Mod" folder, (which has three folders in it: Database, Media and Settings) to your Mods folder in My Documents/New Star Grand Prix. You can't miss it. ;)

The other one is the Media folder, (that has the Backgrounds, Tiles, etc. folders) move it to your Program Files/New Star GP folder.

I'm not sure how he organised his files, but there must be these contents:

Program Files > New Star GP > Media > Backgrounds and several other folders...

My Documents > New Star Grand Prix > Mods > Dan'on Hill F1 2010 Mod > Database, Media and Settings.

[Paranhos]

[Double Post]

[ozdemir]

thank you Paranhos. i'll try

[fredoxyaction]

can someone please help me too
i could really do with just a step by step instruction on how to make this mod work on windows (vista).
i've looked at some other posts and it i just dont' get it, its like what you guys are saying doesn't fit with whats going on in my folders.

i've moved database media and settings folders into a mod folder, but i don't know what to do with extras, every time i try to move anything from there into the nsgp folder it just says "there is already a file with the same name as the folder you specified, specify a different name - Panels (for eg)"
and it does this with everything in the extras folder.

i'm rubbish with computers by my own admission so i would really appreciate some help thank you!

[vicnaruto]

i'm using 1.16 version and this mod 2.5 but when i go to a quick race only have 17 tracks it's normal? and i'm selecting the mod in the beginning

Hi,

I have just downloaded the update but i am having a problem trying to install it.

After installing the update I try to start a season and it comes up with a Exception_access_violation error warning and then crashes to desktop.

Please could you help me solve this problem.

Many thanks!

Ok I'll try to explain it step by step

1) Download the latest verions of the mod from the first page of this topic
2) Copy folder 'Danon 2010 MOD 2.5' -> Your Documents Folder/New Star Grand Prix/Mods/
3) Copy folder 'Panels' from Danon 2010 MOD 2.5/Extras/ -> Program Files/New Star GP/Skin/ - overwrite all of the files
4) Copy folder 'Tiles' from Danon 2010 MOD 2.5/Extras/ -> Program Files/New Star GP/Media/ - overwrite all of the files
5) Copy folder 'Tracks' from Danon 2010 MOD 2.5/Extras/Tracks -> Program Files/New Star GP/Media/ - overwrite all of the files

Let me know if you managed to follow all of the steps :)

[Soltys]

The same here, I guess this mod does not affect quick race feature.

Thanks for your help, got it to work now :D

[josh8644]

The same here, I guess this mod does not affect quick race feature.

If you want the new tracks in quick race, then make copies of the track files, go to the 'new star grand prix' folder and put them in the tracks folder in there :)
Make sure it's the .trk files and not the .png ones

Hopefully that makes sense :P

[Dan'on Hill]

SORRY FOR THE DELAY GUYS IVE FIXED AFEW BUGS THAT STILL HAUNTED MY MOD....

Thanks PARANOS FOR THE INFO MATE, FIXED CHECKPOINTS AT SPA AND ALSO THE PIT EXIT TWIRL THAT THE AI DO IN CANADA.

ENJOY!!!

BTW QUICK RACE HAS MENTIONED JUST COPY TRACK FILES FROM MOD TO EXTERNAL TRACK FOLDER, FOR USE IN QUICK RACE

CHEERS GUYS

GLAD YOU STILL ENJOY THIS 2010 MOD.

DANIEL:dance::clap:

[rmfarey]

Thanks, excellent!

[King Rob]

Beem having some good fun with this mod over the last few days, glad to hear the lap checkpoints have been fixed although this did create an interesting battle in the drivers championship when I lost a race win :lol: got a cool pic of a dead heat to post tomorrow.

[thelunnster]

Dan'on,

Did you fix the Brazil GP fault (Just reads DNQ at the end of the race and doesn't record lap time, drivers and constructors pts etc)?
Also noted that Abu Dhabi Doesn't record fastest laps either.
Other than that fantastic Mod! :)

King Rob: I had an awesome one yesterday in Singapore GP (3 Lap Race). Started 8th in a Lotus . Ended up 15th by the end of lap 1 (on Extreme), fought my back to 3rd by the end of the second lap. Passed Jenson Button at the beginning of the lap and chased down Lewis Hamilton and ended up coming over the line almost together. The computer gave it to me but i honestly think Lewis did beat me but what can ya do!

[Dan'on Hill]

hhhmmm

im slightly confused here, i havent touched the original tracks, theres no reason for the checkpoints to be wrong?!

Does it happen in the first season, or remaining seasons only?

I could understand spa as i had tweaked the whole back end of that track and messed up checkpoints but, if the above tracks worked in the original game my mod shouldnt of changed anything.

Have you guys tried restarting the race or even season?
Dan

[thelunnster]

The Fault happens in every season consistently and i have tried starting a new season and it still does it.

sorry i can't be of any more help dan'on but i think that's about as much as i can tell you

anyone else having trouble with link, i dont seem to be having problems??!

[Aaponator]

Now my game gives me an "Windows error" EXCEPTION_ACCES_VIOLATION.

I have Windows Vista, AMD Phenom X4 CPU, Nvidia 250 GTS and 4Gt of RAM, so it shouldn't be because of my computer I guess.

EDIT: Sorry, I may have found an answer from forums by using Google. (Integrated search didn't find anything)
EDITEDIT: Okay I tried to change my save location, but no. Still crashes to same error. Now I'm quite sure that this has nothing to do with your mod, so I'm sorry from bothering you with this.

[Sida79]

Nope, not MOD related :)

[bekamenga]

i've the wrong Names.txt file after downloading, with Farraro, Brown, Nelsono Pequet... Why ? :blimey:

[Dan'on Hill]

Ive noted the DNQ at brazil and havent a clue i might give this question to Si!!

I havent altered that track so something somewhere is wrong...

Sorry guys

[Aaponator]

Lot's of difficulties to finish even the first lap :/
AI just bashes me into my death.

Last season made like 3 complete first laps.

[Dan'on Hill]

In the Engine file in my mod, edit the damage value to suit your liking, go down in increments of 2.

hope this helps you demolition derby like games lol :D

[drastic]

First, let me say that this mod is absolutely incredible! I don't even play anymore unless I have it turned on! nice work!:clap:

I don't know whether the game crashes still at Canada, but I'm downloading the latest version to try.
So does anyone know if you can delete old mods? or just remove them? because if it works better now then I'll just remove the other versions.

[drastic]

can someone get rid of this guy? cause now i don't think my question will be noticed amid all the spam.

seriously, why spam a new star forum?:rolleyes:
