Well, I have spread these files all over the place since my first thread for pcm14.
Time to try and assemble updates and brand new files on races.
Still think Cyanide should pay more attention to this forgotten part.
In many races KOMs and intermediate sprints play an important part, and on many races they are very very different setups than in the big known races.
Sad still that no news on having an extra jersey added to the game that would have taken care of the many races that has a separate Intermediate Sprint Jersey from the Points overall Jersey.
Well lets hope they wake up sometime during this century
I hope all of you understand how to make these files to work proper in-game, so I will not publish any instructions, unless too many asks for it
Of course I like any type of comments and additional ideas. Naturally any mistakes in the files must be noted and brought up.
In some races like the Eneco it's sometimes important to make adjustments to how the stages are setup by the creator.
Primus sprints in this Eneco has sometimes in the past been stated as Sprint, but should better be KOMs. Leaving the normal sprints as that separate jersey.
In some "desert" races no KOMs are present, but a separate jersey for sprints and finish points. In those cases this can be solved by setting up the intermediate sprints as KOMs to get those two different jerseys. Else we only got that single green jersey.
I think you get my drift, and I are happy to listen to ideas and what looks to be more important to enhance the game even more.
I think we can brake the boundaries Cyanide set up on their narrow view on the whole XML.
Biggest miss in my book is that the kind of sprints on the last Giro isn't handled. Intermediate sprints had very different points depending on if the stage was flat,hilly or mountain. No way to handle that, but my sugestions of having 3 different xml-files and forcing a change before every stage. Tidious and troublesome idea, but it did work.
