Yo, sup, hi. I made a program to install tracks and stuff for newbies/n00bs/noobs. The download can be found here , and the documentation on how to use is in the zip. It took me about and hour and a half to make, deciding what methods would be best to use, etc.
Current problems are:
-Game dir has to be default install location.
-Program files for the installer need to be on desktop.
-Takes a while with a large amount of tracks/skins/cars, I tested with everything in the default DTR2 pre-install package and it finished in about 5mins.
-Have to unzip the tracks, which seems a little dumb at the moment, but it is good if you are unsure what to do.

I'm working on having the program just unzip everything, so it will be really easy, but that is for another time when I am well rested/sane.

You can browse/download the source here .

If there is any problems with it please PM me/post on the thread/tell me in chat. Kthanksbye.

I haven't checked it out yet, but I have an idea for a future version if this is possible. You could make it so that when someone downloads a track or car, etc...they could just drag the .zip file over the program and it will auto extract to the right folder. Team VLR - Racing since 2004

Big Update!

First things first. I added a version that won't delete your tracks and stuff your importing.
Second things second, I edited the main to delete stuff, so if you want to not delete stuff, get the nodel version.

Downloads can be found here , as always. And source can be found here if you want to view the code that made this possible/contribute if you know what you are doing.
