Now, let´s start...
What do you need for create the RCD file as realistic as possible:
*Follow the instructions
*Any writing program that can open OSC, BCH and RCD files
*Config.ini
*StatsF1.com website
*The game F1 Challenge 99-02
*Patient for understand this.
This tutorial work with all OSC files (RH, CTDP, F17, F1C, etc) and it
doesn´t matter how many mods have you installed in the game or if you
install mods in a clean F1C folder. It will work if you don´t touch
anything related to "Save" folder and it´s contents.
Example:
I want to play 1990 mod by DavidMarques. This mod has a total of 35
playable characters. If you uses one of them, the maximum number of
opponents is 34.
Here are the instructions:
TUTORIAL:
1. - Open your main F1 Challenge 99-02 folder (click the picture)
2. - DON´T TOUCH SAVE FOLDER (click the picture)
3. - Open config.ini (click the picture)
4. - Search for "GRIDSIZE" (click the picture)
You will see "GRIDSIZE=22".
I´m going to play 1990 mod. As mentioned, ths mod has 35 playable characters. So: GRIDSIZE=22 ->GRIDSIZE=35
(if you play 2012 mod, there are 24 different cars
"GRIDSIZE=24")
(if you play 1989 mod, there are 39 different cars
"GRIDSIZE=39")
(if you play 1995 mod, there are 26 different cars
"GRIDSIZE=26")
(if you play 1994 mod, there are 28 different cars
"GRIDSIZE=28")
etc.
Save the changes and close.
5. - Go to "options" folder (click the picture)
6. - Now you are here. Look for your OSC file (F12K2) (click the picture)
7. - Make a copy of your OSC file (click the picture)
8. - Copy created. Open the original OSC file.(click the picture)
9. - OSC file is opened. Scroll to the end.(click the picture)
10. - You must be here. Do a clic in your notepad window.(click the picture)
11. - Use the search function.(click the picture)
12. - Write in the small white rectangle: NUMBER OF AI DRIVERS and search.(click the picture)
NOTE: If the search function don´t found the written words, change search direction (up or down).
13. - Delete the lines.(click the picture)
This is an example of a series of lines (picture by Valpaso75).
You must delete only all those series of lines that includes the words: "NUMBER OF AI DRIVERS". For do this. Clic search, then delete the series of lines. Clic the search button again and delete. Clic, delete, clic, delete... until the search function doesn´t find nothing.
14. - Save the changes and go back.(click the picture)
If you have deleted all the series of lines that includes the four words "NUMBER OF AI DRIVERS", sve the changes and exit. Go back to your main F1C folder.
All
its ready. All the new players that you create in the game, will have
thie maximum number of opponents set to 34... without modifying nothing!
(remember that the example is 1990 mod)
This tutorial ends here, but there´s much more to show. I reccomend you to come with me and have a look.
DEMOSTRATION:
15. - Start the game.(click the picture)
16. - Create a new PLR file.(click the picture)
17. - Creating a new PLR file.(click the picture)
Once you created your new player, exit the game and go back to your main F1C folder if you aren´t interested to follow these optional steps.
*Optional steps in this demostration starts here*
17b. - Playing championship mode for see the number of opponents.(click the picture)
17c. - Looking drivers and constructors classification (example, 1990 mod)
Drivers championship: Here are all the 34 opponents instead of 21. And remember: I didn´t modified ANY PLR or BCH file in save folder.
Constructors championship: Here are all the 19 constructors instead of the classical 11. Remembering again: I didn´t modified ANY PLR or BCH file in save folder.
Here
is a proof that maximum number of opponents is set to the value that
you desired for that mod. But this isn´t the ultimate proof. Anyway,
exit the game and go back to your main F1C folder.
*Optional steps in this demostration ends here*
18. - Main F1C folder
19. - Go to Save folder
20. - Go to the new player folder
As you see, my example is Felix Charland.
21. - THE PROOF
Open
your PLR and BCH file (of the mod that you selected with your new
player) and... voilá! The screen speaks itself. You have set the maximum
number of opponents with the value that you desired.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
If you have a F1C folder with mods that maximum number of opponents is the same on each mod (for example, 2010, 2011 and 2012), problems are solved. No matter how many new players you create, all of them will have the number of opponents that you want (in this particular case, 23).
The only restriction is this: You can´t modify in the game the number of AI drivers on track. You will compete always with the maximum number of opponents in a determinated mod (vs 34 cars in 1990 mod, for example).
But... what happens if you have different mods with different numbers of playable characters? Yes, perhaps you want to play 1995 mod and maximum number of opponents still be 34.
Simple! You MUST FOLLOW ONLY STEPS 3 AND 4. CHANGE THE VALUE OF GRIDSIZE TO THE NUMBER OF TOTAL CARS IN THAT MOD (In 1995CK, 26. In 1989, 39. In 2010, 24. In 1994, 28, etc.) Then, start the game, create a new player file, configure it with the options that are available in the game and enjoy!
