Having problems with Realism :S

[FreddieFan]

You don't need to extract it to X/Whatever, you need to replace the X with the drive code of the drive your game is saved on (probably C). I put X in the readme because as far as I know it is the correct value to use for an unspecified disk drive. As I say, its likely to be C, so try that instead.

your a genuis
cheers

 

[FreddieFan]

Do I assume that means its working now?

 

[treva]

ummm no

 

[FreddieFan]

ummm no

Please tell me thats a joke :crying

 

[treva]

well i went on to it and it didn't come up as channel 4 or anything.

let me try again

nope hasn't worked.

i did what it said and it started extracting but on the match one it stopped halfway through and said replace existing file i pressed yes and then it finished.

 

[FreddieFan]

Open My Computer, double click on Local Disk (C), DC on Program Files, then Empire Interactive, the International Cricket Captain 2005, then GRNDS. At the top of the screen, choose view, then click on Filmstrip. Can you take a screenshot of what you can now see and post it here?

 

[treva]

i don't have a empire interactive in C

found it on search

 

[FreddieFan]

Empire Active is in Program Files, not C. If you don't have a Program Files in C, you're in serious trouble

 

[treva]

Here it is

 

[FreddieFan]

Ok, that shows that the files have either been extracted to the wrong place, or not extracted at all. Try extracting them again.

 

[treva]

do i put C: in front as that is what i have been doing??

i have done it again but on the mtchfrme one it is stoping halfway through after i press yes

 

[FreddieFan]

I personally don't have WinRAR, I have a diferent program that just handles RAR files, so I'm not certain about this. When you are specifying where to extract the files to, is there a button that says 'Browse'?

 

[treva]

Nope.
but there is a list of stuff like all the files of a browse
i got the winrar thing of the link rabblerouser gave on the 3rd post in this thread.

where did you get RAR file thing you used???

i just extracted to GRNDS in ICC05 file with the realism file.
it has the sky sports and stuff in there now.

DONE IT!!!!!!
after a few swaps and replacing the old ones it is now there

 

[FreddieFan]

I don't know at what stage you're having the problem, so I'll do a quick run through the whole process.

1. Open WinRAR
2. Click on the 'Up one level' arrow and keep clicking till it won't go any futher.
3. Find Realsim v1.2 from wherever you downloaded it to. Double click on it.
4. Double click on the Realism Folder that appeared.
5. Open the GRNDS folder, press Control and A (at the same time). All the files should be selected (they will turn blue).
6. Click 'Extract to' (second button along from the left)
6. Copy

C:\Program Files\Empire Interactive\International Cricket Captain 2005\GRNDS

and paste it into the 'Destination Path' box at the top of the window.
7. Click ok. You will be prompted to overwrite the existing files, click on yes to all.

That should be all the ground files done. Then:

For this bit, forget WinRAR

1. Open My Computer, and find where you saved the Realism v1.2 file
2. Open it (double click)
3. Open the Realism folder you can now see.
4. Copy the MtchFrme.bmp file.
5. Open another My Computer.
6. Double click on Local Disk (C)
7. Double click on Program Files
8. Double click on Empire Interactive
9. Double click on International Cricket Captain 2005
10. Double click on Bkdps
11. Paste the file
12. You will be prompted to overwrite, click Yes.

Realism v1.2 should now be fully installed.



Sorry if I seem to be treating you like a simpleton, but I don't know how computer literate you are.

Hope this helps

EDIT - Oh shucks, you've already done it. Oh well. Enjoy!
