These are the only files I have kept from 0.5P (that got replaced with 0.5Q).

You can leave the exe as it is but you'll need to switch between the abc files by renaming them manually (or writing a batch program to do it for you... but it's only one file).

and..it finally works! you are the man.. thank you.

Still no luck, 0.5P5, with mekaniks2_p05.exe

"please select car"

i'm going to jump in here before FunnyBone has a stroke. lol

this is a release for the 0.5p version of LFS. It WILL NOT work with any other version...period. You said you are running 'Q'...that, my friend, is why it is not working. Download 0.5p and you will have no problems.

im using the 0.5 application though, just the sub folders from the latest

I have the programming ability to make it, its just a matter of figuring the the best way ( without pissing off the developers ) to do it.

im currently trying to figure out where/how the game stores the car's data in memory..so far, i know its not working from the the horsepower numbers, its gotta have some sort of multiplier value rather than using the horsepower value itself.

ie: 14 rather than 490.

to be honest though, im not sure the came has any sort of logic as far as boost pressure. i think thats just a boolean variable that turns on off certain sounds/graphics. but, im not sure yet...im new to the game and looking into how it works.

Since I cannot get the mekanik addon to work, I figured I can make my own to allow me to change the settings I would like.. Is it against any rules to modify the memory of the game?

I dont want to do anything I shouldnt..so i figured I'd ask first...

Im using the latest version of LFS ( alpha Q ) with the 0.5p exe included in the 0.4 zip on page 1. and i have tried the mekanik 0.2, 0.4 and 0.5 releases with my car selected ( it says the car name in the top left corner )

and mekanik still tells me to select a car.

Ive read through all 9 pages, and amd pretty sure im doing what im suppolsed to be.. any help would be appreciated.. i REALLY want to change horsepower

Thank you!
