Re: 3rd party program request
well i think i've good news, i've made a program that checks if a race is gold compatible and fix it's files according to CapnQ's guide as Imperator Fyron said, the program is a BETA version, i didn't have much time to debug it, but on my tests it was working fine, ofcourse MAKE A BACKUP of the race before using the program REMEMBER IT'S A BETA VERSION!, i tested the program with the Rage shipset (i downloaded from PBW), by the way you'll need Visual Basic 6 run-times installed.
The UI is very very simple, just choose the race directory and click on Check Compatibility then if the race is not Gold compatible it will ask if you want to update it.
Any problems, suggestions, bugs, etc, you can ask me on the forum send me a PM, or send me a mail to the address on the program...., hope you like it.

Re: 3rd party program request
Very nice. But I keep having to tell it where the default AI directory is. I even tried putting it IN that directory and running it. There isnt a config file or something I can edit that into so it will "remember" it?
Also a command-line option for "do all /picture/races/* with YES to all prompts" might be nice for those who have just started off by downloading every interesting race off of the sites. (like I did)
But a VERY nice program. Thank you.

Re: 3rd party program request
hi!, i'll add the option to remember where the default AI directory is, i think i'll save the AI directory on a file, i'll update it as soon as possible, originally the idea was that the program check all the races on the "pictures\races" directory but because of some problems with the default VB controls, it's a bit complicated (or at least i haven't figure out how to do it yet). if you have any other suggestion, bug or anything else ask me.

Re: 3rd party program request
Hello again,
a new version, this one remember where the default AI directory is, the directory is save on a file on the same place where the program exe is, the file included on the zip file is empty (DO NOT DELETE IT), once you fix a race it'll ask where the default IA directory is & save it on that file.
