I've got the front 9 of my course laid out. Started from scratch. It compiles and plays with nothing to it but textures. When i added the Beartooth trees and bushes, it will not load into the game. Is there a problem with the objects from the Beartooth library that I'm not aware of and can someone give me a nice library with some nice pine trees and evergreens if there is. Thanks all...I'm trying to get used to this architect. Was used to the other one.

Hi.....

Are you running Windows Vista ?
You can t compile courses with vista, you will have to compile your course with windows XP.

Hi Whiffle

You mention adding trees and bushes. I know it may sound silly to ask, but have you installed the lib into the game (;not just the ca) and which game version are you using?

i've had that asked before... but I am using the textures in the architect. The course compiles and runs just fine in TW08. It crashes after I add the trees and bushes to the course. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever had problems with this library before. I would believe it wasnt installed if it didnt compile with the textures there, but it does. So I'm just curious as to what has to happen next is all. I cant find a whole lot of alternatives for mountain like pines and evergreens yet. Thanks for your input.

It may be that library that you're using for the trees isn't compatible with the newer version of the game as it's from 2004. I would try using the trees from the libraries for the stock courses for whatever version it's going to be for. For an 08 course I'd stick with the 08 stock course libraries and possibly those from 07 if needed.

am i to not use any 07 libraries for trees? I did however use Bethpage Black Course and Pinehurst#2 but i also used some trees from Riviera07 and it crashed again. There are also bushes from Riviera. Should I stay away from the O7's as well?

If you are getting crashes using 07 libraries then there is something else wrong. You should be able to use 07s with no problem.

Are you planting too many bushes/trees? Are your trees too low (;below the plot)?

bethpage and pinehurst#2 are both EA stock 04 libraries arent they?
perhaps thats the issue - many/most will not run in 08
the game engine has changed from 04, and again in 06(;?)

perhaps add one library at a time, compile and test it
then its easier to identify where it goes wrong if it does

and there should be no problems using 07 stock libraries

Where can I find the software needed to design your own courses for TW 2008?

Hi.....

No Course architect 08(; CA08) in TW08, so you will have to use course architect 06.
To install course architect 06 on your PC you will have to install TW06 game on your PC first.
After that you will be able to install CA06.
First it is good idea to add all TW08 stock libraries to TW06 game:
go to path below:
C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 08\Courses
inside each TW08 stock course folder you will find the required stock library.
Right click on library file...and copy and paste to desktop.
When finished you will have 14 stock libraries on your desktop. Now install all TW08 stock libraries in TW06 game with CLsetup06.
Now you will be able to use TW08 stock libraries to create TW08 course with CA06.

Adding Panos:
Tw07 and TW08 created panos will work in TW08 game:
You can find panos in Library section TW07 and TW08.
Dont use Panos from previous years (;TW06, TW05, TW04 etc...), they will not show up very well in game.
You will see TW07 Pano is floating in CA06(;and in TW06 game) but that is no problem, when course is compiled , pano will show up very nice in TW08 game.

Another great tool you can use is: Cloaking tool 06.
With Cloaking tool you can cloak (;disable) libraries in CA06.
(;CA06 can only handle 30 or 40 libraries, so when you have +30 libraries in TW06 game you will need the Cloaking Tool.
Note: Tw08 stock libraries are very big sized files this year, so you will have to cloak a lot of libraries.


IMPORTANT:
A new change this year is how courses are selected from within the game. All courses will now REQUIRE a logo.dds file to be present. To know how logos look in TW08 game, you can go to TW08 stock course folder, and inside you will find Logo.dds file.You can copy logo.dds file of TW08 stock course, edit the file and add it later in your TW08 custom course.
You will also have to add a text file. (;required)

Also the splash screen logo has changed in size again this year.
Please upload splash file in.TGA format (;targa), when splash is uploaded as .dds format CLsetup will give error message.
In section: Utilities....you can download TW08 splash+logo template.
Flag files remain the same as in the past and all old flags and flag templates should work with no problem.

You can download Course architect06 (;CA06) + Cloaking tool06 on this site:
Go to section: Utilities....TW06 section....Course design tools

Note: When you are using VISTA:
You can t compile course with windows vista
To compile your course you will have to use windows: XP
