various stages every year
Deraciel
Yes i know this question has been asked a few times, but it was before 1.0.3.0 patch was released.

1. Does anybody knows when some community set of various stages will be released?

2. How should I name files with various stages if I've downloaded some of them and should I put them into CM_stages folder or CM_stages\various.
I remember in PCM09 it was like v1_(here name of rase and stage number). Maybe someone has tried it already.

3. Do I have to start new career in order to have routes changed every year?

1. it will take some time to have variants for a few races. There are definatly variants made for Giro and Tour at the moment
2. it`s quite unimportant how you call it, you just have to call it the same in the rules and description. But if you call it v1_..._01 ..., you will have a better overview
3. You have to start a new career if you want to play with variants. So it`s problably best to wait for variants for at least the 3 GT`s before really playing a long career.

Did you had a look on last years variants? They are quite similar.

I made a variant yesterday. Here's how it looks:

So there are already 3 variants for Volta a Portugal?
 
CrueTrue
There are two - the 2009 route which comes with the game and the 2010 route which has been made afterwards.

Hi everyone,

I've created v1 variant files for main races of the calendar with their 2010 route. Thus, the 2010 edition of these races could be used as variant for next years. Of course, it doesn't change anything for now because there are no other variants, but it can also be used as a safe basis to create other .descr files

The races concerned are : Tour de France, Giro, Vuelta, Tour of Switzerland, Dauphiné, Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Vuelta a Pais Vasco, Tour of Romandie and Volta a Portugal.

Im not sure i get this. Why have you done them for 2010 and not for 2011?? im lost Smile

Anyway if I install the new patch and start a career, can i then add the files and stages later and then the game will read them once they are there? Or should i have all files and stages ready before i start a long career?
Edited by CrueTrue on 07-08-2010 19:33
 
CrueTrue
Huh?

Those files are basic files which in its current state adds nothing to your game. When more variants have been made, you can add them and use the 2010 routes as variants too (switching between two) - but currently, they are to no use.
 
http://www.pcmdaily.com
roturn
And your other question: You have to restart your career if you want to use variants.
 
Svam
Sorry if I was not clear. I create variant files, named as v1, with the 2010 route.

Initially, it doesn't matter to make the replacement in 2010 or 2011 because it's the same route. The main goal of this pack is to give to everyone the same basis in variants, so it can be easily update by the player when he downloads a new variant.

So, to answer to your last question, you can begin a new career now. When a new variant will be released, its installation will be easy and you will be able to alternate the routes.

Finallly, always keep in mind than modifying the variants files should be done before the next season.
 
Hasardeur1933
Hello,
What is that for an Pack with Variants???

There are Variants for this Races in 2011???

Great Job!

Restart a career???

Where i must copy this Variants???

CrueTrue
Read what we're saying. No variants yet.
 
http://www.pcmdaily.com
roturn
IS it sure that you can start a career with this pack and later in the season you change the files with real variants but you can continue the career?
Because this would be very senseful then.

But your DL Link doesn`t work for me Grin

Giourkas
CrueTrue, I've simulated a season with those variants and in the first season the route is announced well, but on the second season nothing happens and the route continues the same as the first season

That`s the reason. There are not enough stages yet. It`s not enough to write the rules and descriptions. You need most important the stages.
The link Svam posted doesn`t change the races in following seasons.

If I understand him right you can start a career and don`t have top restart it when there are more stages as variants. You just wirte more lines in the rules and description.

EDIT: If you mean the Portugal variants, just forget what I wrote Grin Didn`t see this post early enough Wink
Edited by roturn on 08-08-2010 00:06
 
CrueTrue
I'd also like some clarification on whether he means Svam's files or the ones I posted above.

Edit: If it's my files, open the .rules-file and change "2010" to "-1" in the first line. My mistake.

The route is still the same because it's not a new route. It's the 2010 route but written as a variant. My pack is only 18ko, there are no stages in it.

Basically, if you install a variant, the route will change in 2011, but then, you will be locked on this route. The use of the official route is actually lost. With the variants in my pack, this route become a variant and you will be able to use it even after the installation of a new variant (switching routes, for example)

But, as Crue True said, there is no real use until the release of a complete new variant.

Is it clear now ? Wink
 
Giourkas
I meant CrueTrue files about the Volta a Portugal. If I write -1 on the rules file, the route isn't announced on January and I think nothing happens to the route/variant
