Track conversion tutorial rFactor - Kart Racing Pro

[maxrod]

64 bit os is the way to go. There is some information on here somewhere about it.

[whitham69]

im running 64 bit os. even try on another PC and tryed another version of MAX which my friend owns. The file size is the same as correct export so we'll try setting up the tracked stuff using a buggy export and hope that works, just concerned that with only grass and track showing it wont load the collsion data for fences.

thanks for the help.

[maxrod]

Which 3ds max do you have I am useing 2010 32bit seems better then the 64 bit max, but i have it on the 64bit os, I was using 32 bit os but it got so hard to export the bigger the track.

Max 2009 here, and a 2,1 Ghz Dualcore, 4 GB Ram and a Geforce GTX 460

for exporting the map file (100 MB - incl. Shadow volume and Shadowmaps): 3 Min 30 Sec
for exporting trp file: 7 Sec

just for comparison...

[maxrod]

I find the larger the file the longer it takes, 3min about right, Are there any errors as they will cause problems missing textures even if the texture has been used then deleted it still needs to be there this is just my own experience, you may just need to keep playing with it.

[whitham69]

I5 650 @ 3.20 ghz GTX 560Ti 12 GB ram. im using MAX9 (not)2009. No errors on exporting, models 48mb. I keep playing im sure a solution will come as some time.

Hi guys, having a problem with trackEd. When I load up the track the model shows all the detail and all the textures that I have applied however, once I lay the centre line and merge it if I reload the track then all the detail has disappeared and the track will not load into the game
Pic's very much related

[Schwoni]

in first picture centerline isn`t merged u see on this white numbers if the centerline is merged the numbers are the same.
in 2nd i don`t know. but is your centerline closed? last segment a curve? Racedata done?
I think the best way to fix the problem is when u upload the track and some guys with more experience can take a look on it.

Here are the trp map and rdf, I know that the rdf has the pits and start on the s/f line and im also aware that the textures are not finished, however this is just to test the track as its for GPBikes, and the physics really dont like the uphill gradients.

If anyone can find what the problem is I would be eternally grateful.

As Schwoni already assumed your centerline is not closed and the last segment is not a curve. Also the first segment should be a straight of 10m.

Can you upload your centerline, maybe it's possible to adjust it instead of creating a completely new one (Suzuka is long )

[nak]

I loves you guys, thought the centre line was done, it wasn't sorted now gonna carry on adding the textures and get this bad boy finished now.

[dibu]

Don't forget to grab the new stall.edf (28KB) from Victoria circuit, it's for bikes.
Sachsenring, Pembrey and Knockhill still use the wider stalls for karts (10KB).

Hi more stupid problems for me! if anyone can help? the centre line is stamped and closed on another project however for the life of me I cant get the lap times working,  tracks are in game and working its just the damn lap timers

Hi more stupid problems for me! if anyone can help? the centre line is stamped and closed on another project however for the life of me I cant get the lap times working,  tracks are in game and working its just the damn lap timers

Please make sure that the left and right points of each line are on the collidable surface.

do u wanna convert it for gpbikes or krp?

if u wanna convert to krp u should use krp in racedata because krp don`t use pitlines. So u have choosed another thing like gp bikes.
