Hello everyone, in this blog I would like to review the legendary and despised game Lada Racing Club . Its legend is largely due to its creators from Geleos Media, which, despite the problematic development and the dubious quality of the released product, were able to build a serious buzz around themselves (which gradually turned into scandals).
But the discussion here will focus on the brokenness of the official (patched) version of the game – 1.01. Demonstration of it is usually done with a simple recording of the passage, but thanks to the study of the game files (as part of the development and design of the global modification "At Full Throttle") I can show you the fastest way to stumble upon a critical error in the game.
So let’s act
This is roughly what the process of breaking LRC for speed looks like..
Launch the game, create a new https://vbetcasino.co.uk/login/ profile. After entering the garage menu, return to the main menu. Now we are trying to create a profile with the same name, Which is why the question about overwriting appears?. Failure results in a system error message, which can only be cured by forcefully closing the game.
12 seconds were enough… And this error is permanent. But what if I told you that its source is easy to find and fixing it is not difficult?? Let me explain.
Finding the source
Pay attention to the contents of the critical error message. It contains a certain file mainmenu.gui (and even see part of its path associated with GUI scripts). You can find it among the game files using the following path – resources\gui\scripts\shop\mainmenu.gui. Open it (and many other files Lada Racing Club) you can use a regular notepad. But since the error also indicated the line number where the failure occurred (67), then I’ll use Notepad ++ to make searching and reading easier.
Here is the prepared logic of the window with the question (overwriteQuestionText — a variable that takes the corresponding message text from the csv table). In case of an outcome not equal to “yes” (≅ "yes") the game is trying to return the ability to print the profile name with a special function (gui.setKeyboardFocus) and returns to the “driving license application” screen using return.
The solution to the error is to simply delete the entire line with gui.setKeyboardFocus. Yes, the truth turned out to be that there is no need to return the ability to print, since this is already done when executing return (it’s funny, but in other files of the game’s graphical interface you can find exactly this logic, without extra lines).
What’s the conclusion??
I told you about this error rather out of a desire to share my observations on Lada Racing Club. Well, once again laugh at the crookedness of the game)
However, having studied the files of the game, its “source” in the form of Adrenaline: Extreme Show, visiting old sites and forums dedicated to the review LRC (some of them are now available for visiting only through Wayback Machine) I came to the conclusion that the game is rich in possibilities for discussion, research and modification (thanks to StarForce successfully got rid of it in the game several years ago). Believe it or not – it’s up to you.
That’s all, thank you for your attention, I will be glad to see your assessment and comment on the topic of the material. All the best, see you soon.
