Thank you :thumbsup: -------------------- More good news. Finally I was able to lift the player restriction on his vehicle completely without changing the class restriction on the bots. That'll mean that from this pack on the player can *) Race the races in any class vehicle you like, so no more class F restricton on you. :D *) Race against Class F/E/D/C/B or A bots. You decide!

First race: Second race: Third race: Race #4: Race #5: Race #6: Race #7: Race #8: The final race of this pack. Race #9: -------------------------------------------------------- How and where to find the races when they are installed: There are 3 ways to accomplish this. The 2 easy ways are with use of the bookmarks function of TDU. Very easy way to start a race: Open the game map in single player and go to he 'Bookmarks' tab. Then you'll see the 9 races shine in and southeast of Honolulu. On the right part of the map screen you get the race title and a little picture of the racemap. Go to the game map and select Bookmarks. That's one way to select a race Another way to start a race is by hitting the 'P' key. Then select Bookmarks and List. You'll see the race titles sorted. Hit the 'P' and select bookmarks, then LIST. Find where to start the races the hard way (but without use of bookmarks): If you don't want to use the bookmark function because you want to keep your own bookmarks all the time and not willing to make a backup of them, you can also enter the races from the game map in 'show challenges' mode. In the .JPG included in the pack you can find the 9 racemaps too and in their lower-left corner you can always find the location on the normal game map where to start the race you like. Note: I can't give my races their own names on the standard gamemap. So most of 'm are called 'a challenge between friends' but the distance and rest are correct.

New custom races coming up for the single player TDU drivers who like to race against bots to explore/learn tracks around Ohua. Again the same rules apply: *) No restrictions on the player's vehicle *) Drive against Class F/E/D/C/B/A bots (take your pick) *) Earn some gold by winning *) Traffic On or Off *) Race against 3 or 5 bots Yesterday I released the highwaypack custom races surrounding Honolulu on this website and so it's time to start working on a new pack. Here's a sneak preview of where the next races are going to be held Get your sunglasses cause we're going to Waikiki ! http://www.filefront.com/15268263/TDU-Races%20Pack%202.zip Burn some miles, Carda

Time to deliver the goods: My first upload contained a bug but here is the correct version without bugs (I hope) http://www.filefront.com/15288949/TDU-Races%20Pack%201%20Updated.zip I wish you all fun with these tracks!

Just finished the readme.txt file. Thought to share it with you: 9 new races for Test Drive Unlimited. My first pack, its class F restricted, and specializes itself around the freeways and highways around the city of Honolulu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *) How to install? 1) Make a copy of your TDU\EURO\BNK\IGE folder (to get the origional races back when you get tired of these) 2) Make a copy of your My Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\Your Account\Bookmark folder (if existing) 3) Copy the 9 .IGE files from this package into the TDU\EURO\BNK\IGE folder and overwrite origional files 4) Copy the files from the bookmark folder into My Documents\Test Drive Unlimited\Your Account\Bookmark and overwrite origional files 4+) If the folder bookmark didn't exist then create it manually and copy my bookmark files into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *) How to find the races? Select one of the 3 options below -) In game go to the map menu and select bookmarks. Select the race you wanne start and click on it -) In game press 'P' and enter bookmarks. Select List and the 9 races will show up -) The hard way without bookmarks: View the included Races&LocationsMap.JPG file (print or view). All races and their start positions on the gamemap are there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *) Where to find the 9 .IGE race files in this package? 1) First select the folder Class F Restricted Races 2) Then pick the folder against what category of bots you wanne race. Tuned class F cars should be able to compete against class D or even C cars. But its also very fun to compete against class F cars driving the SSL. 3) Next pick the folder about how many bots you want to compete against. Race against 5 bots can be good fun but low end PC's prefer just 2 or 3. 4) Last you can pick the folder about how much traffic you like. No traffic, medium traffic or maybe high traffic. And there are the 9 .IGE files that need to be copied into the TDU\EURO\BNK\IGE folder. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Greetings and burn some miles, Carda_NL Thanks to all http://forum-tdu-central.com/index.php members for the help and support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I'll continue to create a few packs first and surely will reveal how I did it afterwards on this forum too. But its not as easy as opening the ingame editor and create a race and BOOM lets drive against bots. It handles a bit of copy pasting inside .IGE files with a HexEditor.

---------------------------------------------------------- INSERTED 04-01-2010 Because this was my first pack, it had some restrictions. Today I updated the pack and removed the player's car restriction. Also I added the class B & A bots so now you can pick A/B/C/D/E/F bots. Download the updated version here: http://www.filefront.com/15288949/TDU-Races%20Pack%201%20Updated.zip -------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction: Hi, I am Carda_NL, and today I am going to release my first mod for the best racesim around. This mod does not require you to run any program to install, neither does it require you to run any program in the background (it's just copy/paste). Mod Type: This mod can't be placed into one of the mod categories of this great website because it's not a vehicle or a rim but this mod introduces a new kind of mod (I think): New custom single player races with bots. In short: I now can create races (laps or single sprint) with bots anywhere on the Oahu map. These races show up in the single player game map and have gold as reward. Also I can change the car restriction of the player & the bots, and ofcourse the amount of traffic & bots too. :excited: What's in the mod: The upcoming mod contains 9 new single player races with bots. As almost each race game starts with some easy highway challenges, I started with the highways surrounding Honolulu and its airport. The first two races are easy cornering but the further you go the harder the tracks become. These 9 races will have a class F restriction on the player so its time to get your series F cars back from the farmshed you dropped 'm in. When this pack is released I'll make these races also available for other classes of cars. What kind of selections are offered: All 9 tracks can be raced with the following options to the player *) Race against 2, 3 or 5 bots. *) Heavy, medium or no traffic involved in the race *) You can select the class of vehicles you want to race against (C, D, E or F). While driving the SSL can give a good race against class F bots but a tuned Audi needs at least class D or C opponents to have a fair race. You got me warmed up. Please show me the races: How and where to find the races when they are installed: There are 3 ways to accomplish this. The 2 easy ways are with use of the bookmarks function of TDU. Very easy way to start a race: Open the game map in single player and go to he 'Bookmarks' tab. Then you'll see the 9 races shine in and southeast of Honolulu.

Set a filter to restrict to class F only races. In the .JPG included in the pack you can find the 9 racemaps too and in their lower-left corner you can always find the location on the normal game map where to start the race you like. Note: I can't give my races their own names on the standard gamemap. So most of 'm are called 'a challenge between friends' but the distance and rest are correct.

Work in progress: New races for single players I was a bit disappointed with the little amount of races offered by TDU for the single players. I got my first Class F collection of cars complete but there are only 6 or 7 pure Class F races against bots. :cry: When I opened the TDU Editor for the first time I was estatic (thinking I could create my own races here, but as you''ll probably know its only TimeRaces and CameraSpeedTrap that can be created here). So I started waiting at some spots on the map to have a 1v1 instant challenge against a bot. But then its only 1 bot and sometimes I had to wait minutes until finally a class F came by. So it was time to do some modding :thumbsup: After a few days of messing around and learning about the files I was able to create 4 new races today. These races support: Single player (sprint and lap races are both possible) My own created routes to race on Bots to race against (1 to 6 are possible) All races accessable from the Map Screen and have money as reward Class F vehicles (any race with any Class vehicle is possible) Rookie Category (any category Rookie-Champion is workable with) Traffic Enabled (will be a separate traffic off mod too later on) SHOWCASE from the upcoming ClassF-HonoluluHighwayPack ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #1 : Westbound on the Lunalilo FWY Race of 8.2 KM against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #2 : Eastbound on the Lunalilo FWY Race of 8.1 KM against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #3 : Lunalilo Freeway Race Race 2 Laps of 12.2KM each (totals 24.4 KM) against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #4 : Ala Moana Boulevard -> Nimits Highway Race of 6.1 KM against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- My first mod will be complete if I have created 12 or 14 custom class F races (all around Honolulu and with easy cornering) for the Rookie class. After that I will be going for the E Class. ---------------------------------------------------------- 30-12-2009 ---- 30-12-2009 Created 5 more races so far today and added them to the list here ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #5 : Pali Highway -> Lunalilo Freeway Race of 6.1 KM against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #6 : Salt Lake Blvd -> Moanalua FWY -> Kahuapaani St. Race 2 laps of 3.4KM each against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #7 : Oahu Avenue -> Lunalilo FWY Race of 6.3 KM against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #8 : S Beretania Street -> Lunalino FWY Race 2 laps of 5.3KM each against 5 bots. ---------------------------------------------------------- Race #9 : Oahu Avenue -> Lunalilo FWY Race of 6.5KM against 5 bots. Greetings and I'll try keep you posted, Carda
