Hacking Outrun 2006
Howard_Casto:
Sometimes the boring work is what takes so long, unfortunately....
I've started crafting a menu system to work with modified courses. I'm going to let you make custom courses with the course editor and then you'll be able to cycle through them with the press of the gas pedal or something. Note the new button and the logo.... I'll let you name your custom courses and that'll be displayed at the tab above the normal button. I've found all the memory addresses to completely monitor the course menu, so it's just a matter of keeping track of my custom menu selections and then changing the course file on the song selection screen if necessary.
Does that look ok? Kind of stumped over how to add in the additional info and still have it look like it belongs.
Also I need opinions in regards to how I should swap out the files. Perhaps someone more versed in how windows writes to the hard drive can chime in. Do you think it would be better to just rename the files to swap them out or just overwrite the changed bytes? I would think renaming the files would just change the index on the drive, but then again we are only talking about 60 bytes or so if I overwrite the changed data.

Way behind, my racing rig isn't even set up right now. You are motivating me to do so though! Leaving on a trip soon and only back in a month but I wanted you to know there's others out there who are interested. Thanks for your work on this.
Howard_Casto:
Thanks man. So I was looking at the texture files in the game to get references for the new buttons and yup.... Holly is supposed to have a second course. Much like flagman, she has two poses for the c2c menus, indicating that she was to host two separate stages. Also in the text "Mix 2 course" can be found. I'm beginning to wonder if it's a hidden level that nobody managed to unlock.
Howard_Casto:
Couldn't sleep so I spent the last hour or so writing the convoluted logic system to manage all of the file juggling required to swap out courses. Took way longer than it should have. I also have the code and image in place to make the little tab pop up I posted earlier. The actual file swapping functions aren't in place yet though, so it's going to be at least another day. When finished I'll post a video or something.

hey Howard_Casto Sometimes I feel like looking for interesting things in the memory of outrun 2006, then I remember you are here and I just hope :notworthy:
