i know there is a guide how to make a stage etc
But when i try to add this in my game by PCM Fast editor it doesnt show me all of the options like in the tutorial is there also a tutorial how to add them by pcm fast editor?
and i see alot on the forums about the map CM_STAGES , in 2017 i dont have at Cocuments/username/pcm2017 not the CM_Stages folder i only have stages.
Is that the same folder nowadays or?
In my root on Crogram files i have the CM_Stages folder.
It's the exact same as here, except that stages go to your CM_Stages folder (to apply to all mods) or to Mod\Yourmod\Stages in Mydocs to apply stages to a specific mod. For the rest I don't think any of the tables have changed, at least not significantly
You probably did something wrong, but it's hard to judge.
Did you name your zces and cds file properly? (eg if you have top_benelux as normal for the race, are your files called top_benelux_01_addsuffix)
Did you fill all required fields?
Did you make the correct link between STA_Race and STA_Stage?
Maybe you could send a screen of your stages folder where you saved your files and upload your cdb so someone can check it.
top_benelux already excist (binckbanck tour) so i named it top_bene
but i only have 2 races atm but i wanted to test it if 2 of the 21 are already visible.
Sorry about that, I kinda forgot, have been very busy lately.
The names for the stage files are incorrect. In the stage number in the filename, always make sure it consists of two digits, so top_bene_01_2018 for stage 1 etc.
Your records in STA_Stage are off. You need to create a separate record in STA_Stage for each stage. For stage 1 this would be 1620 (since your race ID is 620), for stage 2 2620 and so forth. Even if there are only stage files for 2 stages, you'll need to do this for all 21 stages rightaway. Since you are adding the race in an ongoing career you'll need to get the date computed right. You'll need to look up how it works because I can't recall and don't ever use it. I think someone once described it in the forum years ago. If you really want to test your stages but don't want to use the computed date, you should edit a normal DB file (you don't need to have the variant references either then)
Furthermore, you should change gene_sz_currentvariant in STA_Stage so that it matches your stage files (so in this case use 2018). In STA_Stage you'll have to do link to the stage file since you're already in career mode.
And finally, in fkID_firststage and fkID_laststage you should add 1620 (the record in STA_Stage for stage 1) and 21620 (the record for stage 21)
