However there is still more to, such as editing the cars in your garage, but as digging through and figuring out the data in the hex files will take some time, I'm looking for help, what values do what and which location they are at.

Changed RPMAngle and SpeedoAngle in [Other] section to have wider range of angles (RPMAngle was causing a crash with the Bentley DLC)

Whats next?
Continue to support this (any problems, let know what the error was).
I have had a look into the saved game car files, found the location of the horsepower and tuning values (you want 30% tuning? sure!), and the blocks that control what parts are on the car and their status.
However as it'll be a bit boring to completly do (I either need to implent my own binary search or completly reverse engineer how the various parts are stored) and there doesn't seem to be much interest here. I'll be putting it off until I really feel like doing it or somebody grabs a hex editor and does some of the reverse engineering for themselves.

Thanks for viewing and let me know what you think when you've used it.

[Bruder Tuck]

wow

[Blue Icarian Wings]

Well the easier it is to mod, the mods we get right?

I should really do a better write up but I'm full of a head cold at the moment.

Interested to know what you think (and if it breaks, how you managed to break it!)

[Blue Icarian Wings]

After a month of rework, the new, improved and ready for 1.0.7.3 version is out for release.

Let me know how you get on with.
Enjoy!

LOL I work in a call center and they PAY me to deal with stupid people. What a great feeling. I highly reccomend customer service if you want some of that money. Its not for everyone.. But if your good at reading people and fixing the issue they have then you can be a natrual.

[MartinPL]

i can't be that worker... i would already be what interenet say "salty" and i would scream with anger how they are ignorant and don't learn what they are using. Using computer? learn about it... using internet? learn using it... using windows and it crashed? there is no hope for you, it does, it's a feature! :P

It can add new cars to the showroom list from the main menu (which reloads every time so you don't need to restart the game each time.)
However new cars won't show up in game. It seems you can only overwrite them, so if you want to work on the Bianco V8 you'll need to overwrite the normal Bianco. Make sure you don't have the car currently out in your garage.

I run my computer with as a single user with admin privileges (on win7) so I can touch everything if your setup differently that might be the problem, do you have access normally?
You could try running it with admin privileges and see if that works.

Also 0.9.0.1 went out last night with a bug-fix to the engine section it's probably a good idea to get the latest version.

Thanks

No worries. It's a game engine limitation, need to get the devs to change it.
