I need help with old game

[marcus]

ok call me slow or whatever but a few months back i managed to get hold of a copy of grand prix 2..now ive never really been into games on my pc that much but this game is just awesome. now my problem is this ..I have downloaded the gpedit thingy and all the seasons cars i want and can use that without a problem which is pretty cool. but i want to play different tracks that were not used in the 94 season such as the new Melbourne track and the like..i have read a few things on how this is done but carnt make heads or tails of it and basically dont have a clue as to what im doing..can anyone help me in plain english as to what I should do to add different tracks to the game ???????

OK. Here goes.

Each track in GP2 has a .dat file in your GP2/circuits directory. You can move one of those .dat files to another directory and replace it with one with the same name that is a different track.

For example. Copy a file such as f1ct11.dat(Belgium) to another directory. Download another file for a different track (eg Indy), and rename it f1ct11.dat, and place it in the GP2/circuits directory.

Now when you select the Belgium track in GP2, you will be placed on the Indy circuit. However, all of the names will still read "Belgium".

To change the names, you need a track manager such as "GP2 Track Handler".

NOTE: The above is only for the most basic tracks. Most new tracks also have JAM files that must be placed in a sub-directory in the GP2/gamejams/ directory. "JAM files" are graphics files for signs, fences etc. Follow the instructions that came with the track that you downloaded to do this.

I hope this helps somewhat.
