Special SBK2001 MOD

[olaflehmann]

After a long time I have reinstalled SBK2001 on my VISTA Computer. After changing the color-video-mode to 16bit it works without poblems.
I found SBK2001 great after all this time again, better than all motorbike simulations I know.
But after a while I found samething that could be better. Because I have same experiance in programming I have done some modifications:

1. Stopping the hard deceleration to 40 m/s of the KI drivers under yellow flag
2. Stopping the deceleration in case of overlapping+beeing on last position
3. Show time difference to the following drivers instead of the first driver at start finish line + sectors
4. Acustic message in case of personal best lap in race
5. Show diffence beetween personal best lap and absolute best lap in the race
6. (More) slipstream (KI and human driver)
7. Deceleration engine power in dependence of the damage of the bike (KI and human driver)
8. Stopping scripting of the KI drivers after qualification
9. Making superpole KI times inclined from real qualification times, not from fixed scripting times
10. Determinating startposion by additioned time superpole + best qualification lap (I know it's not like in real superbike, but so the qualification is not without influence)
11. Clearing gear shift problems
12. More driver (8 not 4) in qualification and they drive more laps
13. One point for the winner of superpole
14. Points for the best 22 drivers
15. Stop simultan crashes of the AI drivers in case of yellow flags at some tracks

In case anyone have interest please post it here. Then I load the necessary files to any webspace und post the link here.

Olaf

P.S.: Excuse my english, I'm better in German, C++, php, and so on...

Hello spy,

I have uploaded the modifications here:

SpecialModSBK2001

You find a ReadMe file in the unpacked folder. I have written it in a short time today. It could be I forgot something.
If you have questions or something do not work ask here please!

I hope you have fun with it!

Greetings Olaf

By the way:
Since my post I have added a new change:
12. More driver (8 not 4) in qualification and they drive more laps.
And it is work in progress. I plan some more changes in the future: Points for more than 15 drivers, eventually I decrease the slipstream (because it's very extremly) and maybe some more...

hello and thanks for this, its nice to try new things on old software
i did a quick test, all the new features are welcome and fun to try ,didnt try to see all of them yet,

when i run quick start i have a crash, when i do single race,training and championship it works,

i notice that "11. Clearing gear shift problems" makes a lot of difference as i can change gears up/down better now, can you make and a version only with the gears fixes so the original game do not crash and the change is minimal?

thank you and your english is fine , its not my native language too

I have created a small moditikation too, only 11. and 12. (gear shift problem and more drivers in qualification). I think both changes should be very safe.
You find the alternative mod in the installation folder. All necessary changes are in Ichima.dll. So you have to rename the original Ichima.dll only. Then copy Ichima_onlygear.dll from the unpacked folder to your Superbike2001 folder and rename it to Ichima.dll.
Please use the link in my last post.


I use the complete mod in championship mode. I'm in the end of the second championship season...and I have no technical problems if I do the following:
After every event I save the game and finish SBK2001 and start it new. After every event means after qualification I do so, after Superpole, after race and so on.
If I do any events without new start SBK2001 often crashes.

alright i run the small mod version dll and runs perfect , i'll play the full too.

is there a way to make the game run at 1920x1080 resolution?

bye

[olaflehmann]

is there a way to make the game run at 1920x1080 resolution?

I have an old Monitor with only1280x960 Resolution. So I can't test the changed resolution. Otherwise it would be a lot of work and I have no motivation because the less resolution of my monitor...
But reasoned by your question I think about more frames per second. Maybe in autumn I try that.

In the last days I have added two points to the full version:

14. Points for the best 22 drivers
15. Stop ununderstandable simultan crashes of the AI drivers in case of yellow flags at some tracks

yes more frames would be good cause its an old game and does not take advantage of newer gfx cards,
i keep an eye to this topic and like the updates thank you
