Track creation guide

What do you need it for? Normally you do not need that for KRP

What do you need it for? Normally you do not need that for KRP

I just want to move pitlane from start-finish straight to parallel straight.  In TrackEd there is Centerline menu item with different kinds of centerline. Please check attachment.  So I thought it could be my case...  But I didn't find how to use it properly... :-(

go to race data

click on the button in the red box


here is the two boxes you need to edit to move it to the other pitlane

Thanks Raise for clarification, maybe I should have done that in my comment.

Thanks a lot!!!  You gave me good idea and I only switched from relative to absolute positioning of pits. Now I've got what I need.

1. How to add many light sources (from lamps over the track) and not to use 1 ambient light (which perfectly suits for outside tracks)?
2. I didn't find proper material for walls. All wall materials from Track creation guide have too much friction and kart always stops when it touches walls. I'd like to add more sliding effect to walls - when you touch walls you loose some speed but continue to drive ahead.
3. How to make separate pitlane which is parallel to track and has pit entrance/exit? I tried to add additional line for centerline (in TrackEd) but I have no idea how to use this additional line for pitlane.

1. Support for multiple lights is in progress and will be added in the future.
2. Your request has been added to the TODO list.
3. Sorry for the late reply. Luckily other members already helped.

Piboso, Thanks for your reply!

I hope to see them in game soon ;-)

Is there any prefix or a way to change the rendering/drawing distance of an object? I added some 3D environment with mountains to a track to get a environment closer to the real life track, but the rendering distance of it is really low, it only render a little part of one of the mountain when you are really close to it, nothing more

You may be able to change the line in your profile.ini

It can be found in the Documents>PiBoSo>KartRacingPro>profiles

Try changing:

Code: [Select]

[gfx]
drawdistance=1000.0
Increase from 1000 to 1500 to start off. I believe the unit would be meters, but I could be wrong.

Distant objects such as mountains should be exported as an EDF file and then set as background in the track AMB file.

Tried both metods, exporting the EDF file and then setting it as background works way better, but the only problem with this method is the lightning of the texture, it looks really bright in every weather (sunny/cloudy/rain). I will have to check why this happens, maybe is something with the lightning of the AMB file

That track looks dope
