They look brilliant, Nath. I always have trouble with the stripes, but yours look really good.

It's a pain but you just have to reload the game about 50 times and keep taking screen shots of your progress. That's the only way to learn how the game will distort your lines when they become 3D. What you end up with is straight lines in game, but in your 3D folder, the lines will look anything but straight lol

nathd88. Those colours look superb. If you have been working on the same owners as me, feel free to replace my designs with yours. You got those centre stars spot on!!

Great work, Nath mate. These have been a real Labour of Love, haven't they? :D

Bob, when I use your mod, the courses don't load up and crash the game. I'm playing the NH game

Just started a Flat only game and I get the same problem. Am I the only one experiencing this with your mod?

Good to hear you are seeing the correct colours from the 3D jockeys. I thought for a minute Mark was referring to the 3D jockeys when he said silks and bmp files.


The files are in the game file and mod folder, that’s frustrating as they worked fine from your previous mod before 0.095 patch! :x

Labour of love? not so much, more like something I was dumb enough to start one day, and because of my obvious ocd can't let go of until perfected lol. Labour of pain, but I can't wait to see a big 30 runner handicap at ascot filled with my silks, that'll be the pay off

savio78. Are all the courses crashing when getting onto the gameplay or is it just the ones in my pack?

When adding mod courses like bobs or mine you should always take the Original Courses with the same name out and put them safe DO NOT overwrite Original Racecourses this will Corrupt your courses and will Crash the game.

All of the courses, Bob. Maybe I've not added your mod correctly? I put the folders into a folder I named and then into the "mods" folder. I didn't do anything with the @so6convert folder that was already in there. Do you have to do something to that?

I've not overwritten any courses in the main game. I thought you could just add them into that new mods folder? In the end I've added the jockeys, trainers and stables files directly into the game from Bobsworth's mod and that's all working fine.

LOL @ Nath. You're a glutton for punishment, mate! :)

HI savio. Sorry, didn't answer your question about @so6convert. That folder has nothing to do with SO7 mods. That is for people wanting to convert files and folders from their SO6 mods i.e. .dat to .db and '1' to 'UK'.

The Mods folder won't be feeding files to the main section until, hopefully, the next patch. Best thing I can suggest is to go through each of the UK courses and delete those where I have a mod.

If it still crashes, can I suggest that you open the map file of these courses and re-export them? I don't know how familiar you are with the racecourse editor... if you prefer me to do it and then re-upload, I can do that.

I will do it the old way and just take out the courses and add yours then. Thanks for your help.

@dwhit55 & luke225:

The Mods folder is there to mirror the folder arrangement in the game.

So, if you double click on Mods, create a new folder and name it however you want to name my mod. Then, double click on it, extract my files directly into that new folder you just created.

You will see that I arranged the folders in the same way that the game arranged it.
3D
>>>race
>>>>>>>>jockeys (colours for the 3D jockeys as seen in the gameplay)
>>>courses (the course files)

gfx
>>>portraits
>>>>>>>>UK
>>>>>>>>>>>>trainers (for the pictures of the trainers)
>>>>>>>>>>>>jockeys (for the pictures of the jockeys)
>>>tables
>>>>>>>>bmp (colours for the racecard in the form section and raceday section)

db
_owners.db (the AI owners that don't refer to any of the countries)
>>>UK (for the UK schedules and owner, trainer, jockey data)



Follow it this way, and the mod should work perfectly well.

Sorry, the gfx folders in my last post missed out the /portraits/ and /tables/ folders. Here is the new link to the gfx: https://www.mediafire.com/folder/go5p3mh3bwk3q/ I edited the original post so this link will be on the original post about the mod.


Bobs,

Just done the above, everything is mirrored in the 'mods' folder as per the db file.. and still getting the below? although they seem correct in race mode.

Just to confirm there is no fix for this problem and it’s something else that needs to be patched? As I won’t play until the game is authentic and as realistic as possible

Thanks
