Track creation guide

I can't open the TerrainEd-file on my PC.
Is their any documentation about that new Tool?

Wow, it seems a very powerful tool 

[evolution-kart]

I think, i need a bit help.
Why didn't my track and my gras receive shadows from the other items, like tyres, buildings, fences ...
From the kart it receives a shadow.
The textures are normal without alpha and named like TRKASPH_01 or TRKGRAS_01.

I have read that everthing cast shadows and  TRK or WLL will receive shadows by default.

[Birel-Rotax 42]

When you export you have to enable shadow maps and their values on the export window in 3ds max. It is just two check boxes on the right side.

[evolution-kart]

oh yes, thats it. Thank you very much.

how long does it take to create a track?

[tchodz]

Well, do not know of a lot of programming. But it is very unfeasible the author of KRP talk with the author of bobs track builder for a marriage, for us to make a track in BTB and export to KRP?

[tchodz]

Well i mannage to convert my track, but when i open tracked and try to made a race data gives me error and closes, here my log:

I´m using Windows 8.1.

any advices?

Track tools updated to fix the TrackEd crash when generating the surface:
http://www.kartracing-pro.com/?page=downloads

There are problems too. When i generate the surface in a bigger file and want to save it, the program crash and the trp-file size is 0. With the track tools-version from 2013 it works.

Another problem in the last time is, that in the starting grid, the line for the first place is not visible on the track.

[evolution-kart]

I have an actual problem with "trackEd".

I have converted a track, like many other times before.
The .map and the .trp-file were exported without any error.
But when i try to load the .trp-file in "trackEd" the program crashes immediately.

What can be the cause that the program crashes when loading the file?

Any help is welcome, because the track is a realy good track and will be released for the community.
