CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
Hello pod players,
I've got a problem
I installed the game on my new computer. I installed the patches. The game itself works without any problems.
But if i try to add new tracks and cars, it don't works. The CD Patcher can't find any tracks or cars. The folders are all correct. I've made a screenshot from my CD Patcher. It's the newest version.
I assume that the problem is the “circuits.bin” and the “voitures.bin”. If I replace the file “C:\UbiSoft\Pod\data\binary\Scripts\CIRCUITS.BIN” by one “circuits.bin” of a track (for example "Magnetic"), the CDPatcher finds only this one track (Magnetic).
Hope that anybody can help me.
Greetings from Germany

Is there any possibility to install the tracks & cars without the CD Patcher?

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
Hello,
But this problem seems more to be something with bl3/bl4. Which version is installed in the game folder? Which version is in the circuit you try to add?
Not directly (circuits.bin is a binary file but you can not only add data from a circuits.bin from a track)NiTRO a écrit :Is there any possibility to install the tracks & cars without the CD Patcher?

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
It's BL4. All tracks have the BL4-File. Some tracks have the BL3-File too.Skubidou a écrit :Hello,

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
Hello,
Long long time ago
If i remember, there was a param (like 3Dfx=1? Don't remember) in C:\Windows\Ubisoft\POD2_\ubi.ini that CDPatcher use to check for bl3 or bl4 files.
Workaround:
For tracks/cars you want to add, copy the bl4/bv4 to bl3/bv3 extension in the installation folder used by CDPatcher. CDPatcher will than be OK to add tracks/cars and will copy bl3/bv3 files to pod game directory. There rename bl3/bv3 to bl4/bv4 (for the game itself to find the xx4)

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
So you mean I should add the BL3 files too? The tracks I had added in Circuits folder had already the BL3-files included. They have BL3 and BL4 files. The Patcher can still not find any track or carSkubidou a écrit : For tracks/cars you want to add, copy the bl4/bv4 to bl3/bv3 extension in the installation folder used by CDPatcher.

I don't know what that means. What should I change in the Ubi.ini file?Skubidou a écrit :If i remember, there was a param (like 3Dfx=1? Don't remember) in C:\Windows\Ubisoft\POD2_\ubi.ini that CDPatcher use to check for bl3 or bl4 files.

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
I have made the test (found old installation folder).
- C:\Windows\Ubisoft\Ubi.ini is the file containing info used by CDPatcher
- Not a problem of BL3/BL4. even if i don't put BLx file in the installation directory, the track is shown in CDPatcher
=> Most likely CDPatcher doesn't find the tracks to add. Do you respect the folder hierarchy? In the folder where is located CDPatcher (somewhere else than the game itslef), you need to have a folder 'Circuits', containing un folder 'Magnetic' (for example), containing all the files (magnetic.BL4, circuits.bin, magnetic.meg). If you don't follow this hierarchy (for example if you put the 3 files directly in the same folder as CDPatcher) it will not work.

I am sure that the hierarchy is correct. Here is a screenshot:
I have additionally still the “Back To Hell” CD. It contains the CD Patcher too and if I start it from this CD, I have the same problem. So the problem can't be the CDPatcher itself and it can't be the folder structure.

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
Sorry no real idea, except that CDPatcher is not done to install tracks already copied in the game folder (but never tested if it works so i don't know if the problem comme from there).
The [game]\binany\circuits\ should contain only the already installed tracks (seen in game)
A second folder (nothing to do with the game folder) with CDPatcher exe, circuits folder and tracks folders
CDPatcher will then copy the tracks itself to the game folder

Oh nice one ! He was quite fast on some tracks ! I remember his name from G-Cube ghost gallery.

Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
I've always been first, then Algor second, and then some others (bad players rly like Bart, Vienna and such) were behind if I remember well.
Re: CDPatcher finds no tracks and cars :(
I thought Derf was first ... sorry ! My memory ...
