Sorry but im not sure what the CK stands for.

It is the construction kit... it is where all of your exported horses go... if you are on the main screen, hit the first button on the bottom right hand side.

so i tried doing a mountaineer race under the construction race and im still getting the same fatal error.

Try this:

The new file worked MJ..

Thanks

Decided to play around with the saddle cloths. Don't know which one I like better. Both look pretty good in their own ways.

For your saddlecloth download do we need to start a new game for them to show up?

No, they are graphics... They will be applied once you open the game. You can use old and new saves with them. Right now, the only things released are the saddle cloth numbers (not the new horse files that have colored cloths like shown in the last post). The new cloths will be released in the next update.

The next update will include the first batch of harness courses, Kranji, Happy Valley, and saddle cloths (a variety of styles to choose from). Along side Kranji and Happy Valley, all of the group races from Kranji, Happy Valley, and Sha Tin, as well as all of the Class 1 and Class 2 races from Happy Valley and Sha Tin will be included in the showcase files. Only the 1 Happy Valley group race, as well as the Krisflyer Sprint and SA International Cup from Kranji will be added into the US schedule (the Sha Tin races are already in... new additions to the showcase file tho).

Hi MJ--

I'd been running your mods successfully on the Mac version of the game prior to the most recent patch. The patch has caused fatal course corruption errors and the game is crashing.

I've tried installing the latest mod version 2.30. When that failed, I reverted to my backup files and applied the older patch versions in order hoping to resolve the corrupted courses. It worked up until I hit Hialeah Park. I just cannot seem to get past that one.

Any suggestions for how to resolve this? I'm in a game with some awesome bloodstock and have amassed a nice bankroll... I don't want to lose them!

Thanks.

Hi MJ--

Just trolling the forums looking for clues to my course corruption crashing error. Can you tell me how I open and export a course in the Editor? I'm on a Mac.

Thanks!

atigger,
I would have loved to edit the horse skins to change the colors... but I don't have the graphical talent to make them look realistic. Hopefully someone eventually will. I wish we could add more skins to the game, the more variety the more unique each horse is... but then looking at most race horses, very little differs between them so it could take away from the realism unless the differences are subtle.
And that is a very cool story!!! QHs are so awesome. I really wish there was QH racing on the East Coast... I hate that it is mainly a West Coast and South thing... I think it is such a great type of racing and one that I devote a lot of time handicapping each week (Los Alamitos has such great cards!).

Juli,
Open the editor (in your Starters Orders 6 OS Folder). Click open, then in the finder window, find 2_Hialeah Park, click into the folder, and click the Hialeah Park.map file. Once loaded, hit export. Then close out and open the game. If you find Hialeah Park without rails (where only the posts show up), just repeat the steps.

Hi MJ--

I can't find the Editor on the Mac version... It seems to be missing.

Update the game to the most recent and the editor should re-add itself. I don't use a Mac so I can't be sure.
