Hello.
Have you ever wanted to have more than one career going, and with different databases, without always having to change stages and graphics before playing?
Now you can. B)
My 1-click DB-changer is a small utility, which in a minute or two, automatically changes your graphics, from one DB to another. And all you need to do, is to open one single file.
This may sound fancy, but it's actually just a bunch of small batch files.
Release is expected tomorrow.

It is working. The tool is almost done, and I've tested it to be good.
It requires some manual renaming by you, though (Taking 2-3 min.)
It will not only switch between graphics folders, but also the Database folder and the CM_Stages. |

So basically you dont have to have three installations anymore? How clever!

So I suppose that will be an extremely useful tool to me, let's try then with PCM-Spain Pack and Titan05...

Yep.
One installation, and up to 4 DB's playable! |

Actually, I'm not sure if it does now. But I can make it do, if you tell me, where the road texture is placed. |

Ive been yelled at for saying this before, but if X doesnt know Y, im a bit worried.
X being person doing something rather important
Y being not knowing something critical about said important thing.

So, a little test result.
I tested my tool, to see, how long time, it takes to process all the copying of files, on the Titan.
Actually, it takes about 7 minutes. That might sound like a lot of time, but imagine around 7000 files getting copied. That is a lot of work to process.
Btw. Waghlon, I don't get your point

Actually, it is not a program. Just a small script file, which you just open |

I guess my mix will be Bernth 96 DB, Titan, PCMSpain and Cyclocross. B)
And when a decent 08 DB is out, PCMSpain will be changed to the 08 DB. |
