common.res and custom race lengths

[Harding Jr]

Ok I want to set custom race lengths so I downloaded the common.res and replaced the common.res inside my SCGTS MOD (Maybe run too) and it changed the laps around a bit I could now select a different variety of race lengths but still not custom length, there is probably something sticking right in front of my nose but for the life in me I cant figure it out can someone please help me

There are 2 ways to set the race length in NH.

1st one is to use the mod launcher (swiss army knife edition), that has a schedule editor in which you can create your schedule/series.
Click "Utilities">>"Editors">>"Schedule Editor"

2nd one is to crack the common.res with the winrestoolswizard.
In there you will find a file called events.val, that has to be converted with valcrack to get a txt file which you can modify.
After that you will have to use the winrestoolwizard again to convert the txt file back to events.val and repack all the files back to a common.res.

I use the 2nd option for creating schedules because I never found out how to use the schedule editor.

Keep in mind that every time you want to change the amount of laps you would have to go through the same procedure (even if you're only practising for a race).

When connected to a online server the common.res on the server is used and not the one in your own Nascar Heat mod folder.

I finally got around to this download valcrack extracted it and clicked on the application icon and I got this error...

VALCRACK.EXE - Unable To Locate Component

This application has failed to start because MSVBVM50.DLL was not
found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

Has anyone experienced this problem before? if so how do I cure it?

go to this site:
www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvbvm50

Download the DLL file and place it in your C:\Windows\System32 folder.

If you experience more of those things just do a Google search for the missing file.
