I havent quite cracked it yet.
Where do you put the data folder if you have windows vista?
I cant follow!?

I've extracted the data folder ok but gfx files wont extract - just keep getting errors message

If your on vista or 7 its c:/program files(x86)/starters orders4/gfx

Everything Pack updated to patch 1.0170 - http://www.mediafire.com/?om2uvm2dtzj


You get -

Full gfx folder.
* 21 flat silks.
* Updated trophy, end of season awards, betting slip, blackboard, newspaper and racecard button.
* Real banners during the race thanks to The Duke.
* Updated Course pictures for all UK tracks, plus Curragh, Dundalk, Leopardstown, Sha Tin, Flemington, Woodbine, Tokyo, Santa Anita, Belmont Park, Arlington, Churchill Downs, Baden Baden, Meydan, Deauville, Chantilly, Saint Cloud, Longchamp and Maisons Laffitte.
* UK facepacks for jockeys and trainers, + Ireland, USA, Australia, France.

Go to C:/Program Files/Starters Orders 4 and paste new gfx folder in, then hit yes to all.

Majority of the portraits will not work without matching edited data so I have also included the edited names data folder.
* Reduced International flat trainers to leave only major foreign challengers. Much reduced jumps names which annoyingly appear on flat only game.
Designed so that major trainers are matched to appropriate silks, ie Bin Suroor to Godolphin silks, Cecil to Juddmonte silks and O'Brien to Sue Magnier silks.

To add go to C:/Documents and Settings/All Users/Application Data/Starters Orders 4 and paste in the new data folder, select yes to all.
If Vista or above your edited names data folder will be in C:/Program Data/Starters Orders 4 and follow above.

*** A New game will more than likely be needed for everything to take effect.***
***The edited names data is designed for flat only games and will crash on any attempts to open jumps games due to the lack of jumps trainers.***

I've also included an extras folder which contains other versions of the blackboard, alternative cursors, the coolmore purple silks, horses.dat file and an edited names folder, same flat design as above, but which is jumps game compatible.


(If when you start the game and end up with a background showing Dancing Brave winning the Arc, you will have desktop set to user and will need to put whatever picture you had back in the file again.)
