converting gp2 track to gp3

Hi guys.
I need a few basic tips about how to convert gp2 track to gp3.
Then i'll study, and try to convert some tracks.
Many thanks.
Claudio.

Please, some tracks I ask... Rotorua, Espagnering, London, Hellesylt, Cape Town and Lake Joutjarvi!!!

if i'm allowed to give suggestions i'd say that it's better to use only original tracks as base for the conversion. It's more easy to manage new jams and locate/manage objects. good luck!

pretty sure you can say whatever you like Rob, when it comes to track editing

Ok, many thanks.
I'm going to study...
I'll let you know asap.
Bye.

It would be nice if someone convert my GP2 tracks to GP3. There are two fantasy tracks: Autodromo Caccere and Westsand Road and some real tracks: Croft '07, Croft '67, Leipzig, Syracuse and Parco Sempione are the ones which I think there's no GP3 version by other authors (I'm brazillian, so I can't check Roberto's database to be sure). There's also some beta-tracks, without scenery: Nogaro 75 (this one don't have a pretty good ccline), Salzburgring 75 (most of the scenery is done) and Enna-Pergusa 75.

I hope someone convert them someday...

Guys, i think you are dreaming too much
I am just a "rookie" in converting track, i am just learning.

I already converted every gp2 layouts you can imagine centuries ago. But without scenary is a very poor work. I prefer a poor layout with amazing "jams" instead a great layout without anything (that´s my humble opinion).

So you mean that the tool only converts layout and cc-line? And everything else (jams, scenery...)?
This makes the job very hard...I think i have been too optimist

it's even worse than you tought Claudio. It converts the layout and ccline and also converts some commands into other ones, so you'll see plenty of view distance commands, track width commands, banking and extention stuff you wonder what the hell are doing there... a work of CTRL-X for you

but a non-scenary track is a good start

Yes my friend... as I told you before, I just converted the layouts (and most part of them are not with the accurate layout). It´s a very poor work. I did it because I was very fanatic with all kind of tracks around the world, nowadays I don´t anymore in this tracks.
As Rob Scandura said, it´s much, much more difficult than you can imagine to build a decent track.

Hi, i'm a brazilian guy, and i'm trying to learn make tracks but, i have problem with some expresions in englesh, anibody here have a tutorial in português to send me. ( reinaldo20@hotmail.com )The link in the website of Roberto Scandura not work

I made some attemps for personal use like Eagle´Nest, Leipzig, Spa 1955
but the results are not really satisfying like Fabio said.

Happy racing from Germany !!!

Yea guys, i knew that create a new track was very very hard.
But i have thought, just for a while, that converting tracks was easier: well, it seems i was wrong.
But i'm going on studying...
Of course is more and more easier to modify a track, or make an update...
Bye.

@ro4die: in my site there is a portuguese version of my english tutorial made by the guys from orkut but there is the brazil factor. I'll send by mail as i'll have some time today.

@Claudio: dont be scared to put questions. the more you ask the more you get
to convert tracks follow my guides. they are step by step. you shouldnt fail



btw, i'm still trying to sort out the matter of the ftp hosting because lycos seems not apreciated by my security tools. i'm looking for a free ftp place that allows 3mb+ files. if anyone has a place where to buld a site i'd be happy to move it. For my own works i prefer a own site to be free to update them as frequently and quickly i want.

Try bplaced.net, Roberto.

Happy racing from Germany !!!
