They do have an hilarious name though.

But seriously I loaded them up and I had goals at all 3 GTs. So yeah, I can sadly confirm that.

Just use an older version of the stage editor.

I meant that you install PCM12 another time on version 1.0.0.0 and use this stage editor there to convert stages.

But on the other side I just tried it and I had no problems to convert a PCM11 stage with the 1.3.0.0 stage editor.

Some stages unfortunately crash. This happened to ~8/120 stages I converted.
Often it`s because of cities close to water. Delete the city or move it at least and it might work. But sometimes something else can be the reason and you can`t convert. Then you can play with PCM11 stages as well. Especially on flat routes this doesn`t matter that much.

And now to some bad news: I read that Eyjolfur has said that all custom races now should be in mod/stages so I dutifully moved them there (all 3 I have converted so far) and game dutifully crashed everytime I picked them,so I moved them to CM_Stages and now they were working very fine...so apparently that is a NO Fix from Cyanide.

Mod/Stages isn't working for me either, I guess it's a general thing (there was another report on the Cyanide forum as well).

So it's the second time Cyanide fails at implementing this correctly, even when one of the 'major' things of this patch (=mentioned several times) was that we'd be able and should use Mod/Stages to add stages after the patch

Just out my own curiosity, whats the big deal where you have to place the files, isn't the important part that they work

Or am I missing out on something?

It is possible to use CM_stages but i won't recommand it for the following reasons :

-Many users usually uninstall and delete their PCM install all the time. By doing this they would delete your custom stages as well and it will be harder for them to reinstall everything. I think it is far more clear if the original game has its original stage in a folder, and any additionnal pack is installed somewhere else.

-Cyanide can overwrite the CM_stages folder any time with a patch. CM_stages is considered as "official files repository" and any extra file in there can be deleted with a patch. In the stage pack that Cyanide will give for free, any stage can be overwritten if our stages has the same name. For the rest, we will try to avoid deleted files, but it can happen in CM_stages.

Note that another good reason for not overriding CM_stages is that Armada requires the original stages to work properly, and those who play with different stages will be kicked out of the ranked games. Friendly games will be allowed with variant stage but all the players of the room will need to have the exact same stages.

Eyolfur' explanations:


So, for the variants there isn't much problem in adding them to CM_Stages (except for the 2nd reason, which says that the CM_Stages can be "reset" with a patch but I find it a bit unlikely), but we can't overwrite stages for example (except for fake ones), otherwise gamers will have problem in Armada mode.

If you have both options, why not use the 'correct' one? (after it's working that is )
