How to build a track in 60 minutes [v0.51]

Yes, I'm doing that also this way. I even create cc-line corner by corner - this needs more time but the result is much better.

Ok guys here we go. Basic track layout with pitlane, loaded it up and got this:



I ain't worrying about ANY kins of scenery atm, but seeing the track layout would help...

Have you made a .bin? Are you using 15.8?

Make sure you have imported the track / pitlane from .dat in the .gp4 and given everything the correct textures. If you've made kerbs, put those in a different scene to the rest of the track, and make sure you put the right .gp4 in the wad

Ooo that's over my head! LMAO

I've done the bin files, thats it.

Someone help me I'm dying to drive my track!!

open the dat file you modified,,, create bin files... make sure the save location for these files is the unzipped wad you are using... in the maps folder /track name.... convert dat to col save in same location as bin files...
save.... then .open the gp4 file in the wad you are using.. create new scene. add track from dat / add pitlane from dat in the new scene ...create another new scene .add kerbs from dat...then ,,,delete all other scenes....

apply the tex files for the track/ pitlane /kerbs /banks etc....save.. re zip wad...
run gp4.... cross fingers........ don't forget to place a copy of the dat file in the same folder as the col & bins........

Would someone love to tell me why everyone is putting the .dat in the wad? It's really not neccessary, none of my tracks have it in there and they work fine :S

It was going very well until this:



I added a new scene and deleted all the other ones, and I was about to add track from dat / add pitlane in the new scene when that happened. The option wasn't available.

did the track load in game ok ??????
got to ask you did make kerbs in dat file???????

have you the dat file s1ct01 copied in the maps/track name folder???
edit again... before you delete the scenes add a new one & then add track etc...then delete old scenes.......sorry brain very slow today.....

Thanks for all you help, I now have a working track.

Next question :P

How do I get rid of bugs like this?



And how do I get tarmac on the track?



HUGE thanks in advance.

P.S. OMG Turn 6 is the most difficult corner I've ever driven! Do you take it flaat down or don't you! With a concrete wall right on the outside atm there's a large price to pay if you get it wrong believe me!

did you with dat file open only..create bin files????? if no do so & when it looks for a location to save choose the unzipped wad maps/track name....also create col file...

With every problem solved, a new one is born.



I have no dodgy objects on the tarck now. Great. :D

I also have tarmac, until half way around sector 3 where as you can see, it switches to back to dark gray...nothing.

I also have no white line on the LEFT hand side of the track where tarmac IS present.

By the way zepplin...i figured out why people put dat file in with the gp4 one...if you create more than one scene..track/pitlane in first....go to second to add different track objects fine..... if the dat file isn't present in some scenes you have no track outline to place objects too ie.. no track outline/shape ??????????
