if you have left some SearchPath= entries in the .cas that link back to the folders in the .gcf's that will make it not work without Race07 and you encrypt the files (excluding the .ini and FXA and FMA) then you should be ok really...

 

[William Yunck]

Edit.
I think I see what you mean now. Thanks Gunther.

 

[Günthar Rowe]

ok

So, you extracted the files from the Steam gcf's right...

Then, you decrypted them with WTCCED.exe v0.2.2 right...

so, in the SEAT_TOLEDO_CUPRA.cas file it starts like this (of course you would have renamed yours to something like SEAT_TOLEDO_CUPRA_07.cas):

etc.....

side note here, this shows that SimBin used rF to build the car first off and they forgot to clean up the names // WTCC BMW 320i or the .mas entires messy stuff... anyways...

you see the SearchPath=<TEAMDIR>..\ etc...

If you add a line like this:

SearchPath=GAMEDATA\Teams\WTCC_2006\SEAT Toledo Cupra Teams

near the bottom of the list of SearchPath= you can leave out the .gmt files that the car uses from your mod, then it won't work without the Race 07 game. this is to stop you releasing all SimBins material and just a portion and therefore making it harder for someone else to convert it to other platforms...

end result should look like this (with a tidy up of the REM text at the top too):

SEAT_TOLEDO_CUPRA_07.cas

[Günthar Rowe]

the use of the link back searchpath that I have done above is used in cars like the WTCC Extreme BMW to load the 320si E90 cockpit etc...

 

[William Yunck]

Wow, thank you, I had no idea that is what you meant, very helpful info.

 

[Niels Pedersen]

Update,
I have still a lot of work to do on the wheel files, they just aren't the right color in game, but it is moving along. I also have to get the country flag ingame and it will be really close for realease after a few days of testing.

 

[William Yunck]

Ok, it is getting very close!
A few more screenshots of some of the new cars.

 

[Mike Coleman]

Looking Great!

 

[William Yunck]

Ok, it will probably be just a bit longer - I decided to add Liam Mcmillan's 2009 cupra and had to do the skin first, but it is almost done.

 

[Simon Trendell]

Incase you missed it, Liam appeared with a new sponsor on the Sunday at Brands Hatch on the front bumper.
