First you need to make a .car-file with 'Ball 1' in its car definition. Then you change the BallCarType value in sliders.ini (PunaBall by default) to whatever name you gave to your ball. If this doesn't work, I don't know what will.

it does n't work that way

That's weird. Can you post the contents of your new .car file here so I can see what's wrong?

Have you changed the name of the ball to something different?

The name is in line 2 if i remember correctly, like Ball or PunaBall.
Change that to something like Je_Ball etc.

It worked! I left the same name punaball instead of soccerball. Thanks.

So the only way to change the ball is from sliders.ini right? Is there any command for this while running server?

Unfortunately there is no server command for that. However, you can specify the default ball for a track by putting the ball name after PunaBallTrack in the trk file.
