What is the WR2 CBS version?
This is a special WR2 version that was released by German magazine
"Computer Bild Spiele" on it's DVD without StarForce. Along with no
copy protection it also has few files unlocked which are responsible for menu
layout, thus owners of CBS version can see add-on tracks images in menu
and few other menu tweaks done by WR2Manager. Theoretically it's
possible to rework whole WR2 menu.
How to install add-on sceneries into WR2?
First of all you need to make sure you have downloaded add-on scenery
and archive isn't corrupt (all files unpack without errors).
You also need WR2Manager to install add-on sceneries into World Racing 2
(see Editing tools section).
Unpack all scenery files into some folder (not WR2 yet). If you prompted
for a password - check the Readme.txt, usually it's somewhere there.
You will have these folders typically: "AddOns", "Scenarios", "RaceDat",
"Traffic" and maybe few others.
Now you need to copy these folders you've got into WR2 folder. So to
merge add-on scenery with WR2 stock sceneries. When you asked about
possible overwriting of existing files - say "yes".
Now start WR2Manager (you need to place it into WR2 folder before) and
enable your add-on scenery there. Press "Save" and run WR2.
Enjoy!
Why I can't see add-on sceneries in WR2?
You need WR2Manager to install add-on sceneries into World Racing 2.
If you see add-on scenery in WR2Manager, but can't see it in WR2 then
there are few possible causes:
- make sure you have full WR2 installation, since with medium or small
installation WR2 will look for add-on files on it's DVD, where there are
obviously none;
- make sure you have checked your Profile name in WR2Manager before
saving;
- if you get "File Access Denied" while trying to save and run WR2 from
WR2Manager then you need to remove "read-only" attribute from files
located in "World Racing 2\FrontEnd\" folder (wr2.ds and runtime.fxp);
- open "World Racing 2\Scenarios\ADD_ON_SCENERY_NAME" and check if there
are 3 sub-folders named V1, V2 and V3. If there's only V1 you need to
copy it and rename clones to V2 and V3;
