I'm sure I'm gonna sound really stupid for these, since these are all probably common knowledge. But I don't know the answers :/

1. I know that I can install older courses into 2k4 (I've installed 2003 Harbour Town already) but is it possible to install a newer course? Like, say, an '05 course or even a '08 course? I'm doubtful, yet curious if it's possible (I'd have to install all the stock libraries, of course).

2. How do I make splashes? I would like to make some custom splashes for some of the courses I have, could I use a program like GIMP or do I need to get paint.net? and if I can do it in GIMP, what are the dimensions of a splash in 2k4?

3. How do I install a flag for a given course? They don't seem to register.

I thought I had more, but I guess I don't. :P

Thanks!

Hi....

1. The game engine of TW changed by the years. With some luck you can try to install a TW05 course in TW04, not sure it will work though. Yes you will have to install a few extra TW05 stock libraries.
I don t think TW06 and TW07 and TW08 courses will work in TW04, the game engine changed drastic.

2. The dimensions for a splash in TW04: 512 x 256......and the dimensions for a flag: 256 x 256
splash must be saved as splash.tga (;.tga = targa format )
Flag must be saved as flag.dds (; dds = direct draw format )
Jeff did a great Tutorial How to create splash screens, there is a section for TW04 included:

http://www.coursedownloads.com/extras/details.asp?id=690

3. Best way to install TW04 courses is to use automatic installer: CLsetup04

http://www.coursedownloads.com/extras/category.asp?id=1&gameid=5

I believe CLsetup04 can install flags.
Note: Not all custom TW04 courses have flags included.

Thanks, I'll test out an '05 course tonight.

Just to check, though... I've used the standard course installer up to this point, will CLSetup read all the stuff that I've installed already? I don't know exactly how those programs work, so I just want to make sure. ~Zero

Hi...
Yes CLsetup04 will read the stuff you already installed. As long as you installed it inside the TW04 game.

Could you explain what you mean by "in the game"? I installed them with Course Utilities, and all the files are in the folder, but CLSetup isn't seeing them (or really affecting anything in the game itself). :/

open clsetup then click on file - uninstall course - will list the courses
same for libraries

there should be a detailed help file under the help button

I already did all that. It only lists the stock courses and libraries. and the help file wasnt very helpful, didnt answer my question. :/

EDIT: I tried Firestone Country Club from 05 and it crashed to desktop. Oh well :P

When you are using Win7 or Vista, try to run CLsetup as administrator:

On desktop right click CLsetup icon.....properties....Compatibility
And on bottom check box: Run as administrator....Apply

Note: With In the game, i mean are the files installed inside folder: Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 04

C:\Program Files\EA Sports\Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 04

I do use Win7. I should have mentioned that, sorry.

and I tried running it as administrator, but it didn't work then either. And yes, they were installed into the main folder. I mean, I can probably live without it, but it's just irksome that I cannot defeat it :P
