LFS Patch Y Setup Renamer

[traxxion]

I started this before I saw Ian posted his solution (nice work Ian ), but I wanted to finish it anyway

With this application you can easily rename your current setups and color schemes to the new Patch Y standards. Just select the source folder for the settings (LFS\data\settings) and click Go!

To be safe, please make sure you create a backup of your settings folder before using this application!

.NET Framework 2.0 required
Edit: Or use splattael's solution if you don't have .NET Framework installed and can't be bothered to do so.

René

EDIT: Updated to v1.1
- Now also transfers the colour files into the right directory.

how can u just rename them without a program?

[splattael]

I've also created a small renamer (Tiny Ruby compiled to .exe so no .NET required)

http://ice.peter.suschlik.de/peter/x10_to_x30.exe

Save this .exe into your X30 patched LFS directory and execute (double click).
Backup before run :-D

The new format requires the three-letter-abbreviations of the cars in the filenames and the files need to be moved to the (new) \setups\ folder.

Works like a charm! I cannot thank you enough for doing this.

Hehe thanks! It's good to hear it works and I'm glad to be of service
For me it's the first time releasing software for public use, so any feedback is much appreciated

O/T, congrats for getting it working, me wants to know later what was the problem!

[joen]

Good work. maybe this could be made a sticky? Or an announcement. At least temporary. Just so to stop people making yet another post in the patch thread like z0mG lFS d3l3t3d AlL mAh seTUpZ

[Origamiboy]

Excellent! Works perfectly, thanks very much...

[traxxion]

I maby not care so much, but when people write in code, I allways go in "curious" mode

Lol It says: "Oh my god, LFS deleted all my setups." <-- I prefer this way of writing by the way

[fireb0llch]

works perfect. Thx!

hi all, seem to be the only one having difficulty

run your application seem'd easy enough, selected the folders but once the program had finished, all the files were in the main directory ?
so i manually cut them over to the setup folder but still nothing in the game ?
tried it a few times but still the same thing !!!
any ideas?

Hi Kev,

I can think of the following two things:
1. Make sure you select the "LFS\data\settings\" for the Old settings directory (top textbox).
2. Make sure you don't change the values for New settings directory (middle textbox) and New colours directory (bottom textbox) after it's derived from the original settings path.

Please let me know if that works

René

EDIT:
One question so you can maybe pinpoint me to the problem if it is the app that causes it:
- Are the setups and colour files renamed to the new format? I.e. has XF GTR_BlackwoodGP.set turned into XFR_BlackwoodGP.set?.
If the latter is the case, you could also just manually move all the .set files to the \setups\ folder and the .col files to the \colours\ directory.

Thanks, you're welcome, and happy birthday!

[Minimaxman]

It works well for me, thanks very much. One thing that perhaps needs to be made clear for those not as clued up as the rest (*cough*ME*cough*) is that when the old skins folder is renamed and placed in the new colours folder, the user still needs to copy the old skins into the new skins folder aswell.

Maybe it's just me being completely stupid

There should be no changes in the skins folder structure if you're updating from patch X?

[NarKo]
