Problem Libraries
Tul wipes out Carnoustie and visa versa
Tul2 wipes out Lagolochan Bay and visa versa
Snowcappedmountain wipes out MHOTextures and visa versa.
MHOTextures wipes out MHOTexturesvs2 and visa versa.
In each pairing, the one that shows in the Course Manager is the last one you installed.
What made it so hard to find is this:
Any course that uses the Tul lib will also run with the Carnoustie lib… if you are playing alone (e.g., practice game). They are essentially the same lib.
But if you have Tul installed and someone you are trying to play a game with has Carnoustie as the last one installed, then Kali will give you the “…. Altered” message.
How did this happen?
We traced the problem to a single designer named Toft who designed these eight courses:
Amberlea Grove GC
Buckland Hollow
Carnoustie
Glen Moye Golf Club
Holborn Heights GC
Kilmory Links
Lagalochan Bay
Tulaichean Bay
It is reasonable to assume that Toft built those conflicting libraries. We think Toft built the Carnoustie library by cloning from the Tul library. The two libs create the same registry entry and over ride one another. Same thing with the other library pairs.
If you are having problems with any course involving one of those libraries, this is most likely the problem.
