Track conversion tutorial rFactor - Kart Racing Pro

[andri]

Ok thank you somewhere in this points i´ve maked the mistake. Now it works
Now in next track, there are sounds like horn, shown in boxes over the asphalt.
Can or do i even delete this boxes (sounds)

Yep, delete all of them. You don't need them anyways.

ok i had made a track by myself and there is a sky texture i change the name of the sky to clearsky and it works now in dijon i didn`t rename the sky is this the reason for sky not displayed?
is clearsky the right name for sky? or is that random?

Another question when i share my own track with a friend why does the game crash by my friend when using this track and my game and track work? I`ve send him my track folder from krp, also i sended him the .tcl from tracked but same problem.

You don't need a skyobject, delete it in 3ds max.

[Schwoni]

Now i`ve converted 2 tracks successfully, and now the 3rd track 3ds max says by export the map " an error has occurred and the application now will close" anyone know the mistake.
Export the .trp works

Now i deleted the sky, but in game there is no sky. Where i get the sky?

[Schwoni]

anyone know how to set the marshalls? the flagman at start/finish is enough

You can copy clearsky.edf, cloudysky.edf, rainysky.edf from Lonato. Or you can make your own of course, by exporting your skydome from max as type 'mesh' (in the exporter options)

Snnaper, could you make a little tutorial of how do the puddles? I am not so good in 3Dmax and even with your explanation in track creation guide post, I wasn't able to do them. This is my last thing to do and if you can help me, I will release the final version of Magescq track this week.

Thank you 

can you pls tell us how we can create puddles which occur at random spots on track? (If we just paint a puddle onto the rain texture, it will be all around the track in regular distances which is not what we want to achieve)...
And how do puddles have to look like in the rain texture?

To create 'random' puddles on the track, you need to create a puddles texture tga, and secondary UV channel for the tarmac & concrete surfaces.
The puddles map needs to be in the tga alpha channel. For this example, it should be tileable. White areas of the map are reflective, black areas are not reflective.
In 3DS MAX, select all your track surface objects (TRKASPH, TRKCONC, etc) and assign a UVW Mapping modifier.
In the UVW mapping parameters, select Planar. Set length & width to 15m x 15m. Make sure Map Channel is set to 2. By using channel 2, you will not affect your current texture mapping, which is on channel 1.
In the Material Editor, you must assign your puddles texture to the Specular (or Glossiness) map slot of all materials that you want to have reflections.



Click on the puddles texture (seen here in the glossiness map slot), and in the Coordinates section change it to use Map Channel 2.
That's it. Export your .map file and you will see wet puddles in rainy conditions.

I am finishing Magescq and one of my problems will be this. Wait until I finish it and I will do a tutorial for everybody.

[Schwoni]

ok thank you

[wladimir]

i followed this totourial and it works good. i think tomorrow i finish my first track

[rediske]

Yes! Please! - Let there be tracks !!!

Also just got 3ds max and started clicking around a bit   
I tried to put together a script, that changes all the materials to standard, but I can't seem to get the textures assigned, as I don't know how the right property of the gmat material, to acces them, is named 
If anyone has an idea, that would be really great, as it would save quite some time, if you have 200+ materials...

Sorry, I somehow missed this post. What part specifically are you getting stuck at?
To add modifiers in Max: when you have objects selected, select Modifers -> UV Coordinates -> UVW Map from the menu bar.

Thank you, it looks like easy to do, but I don't know how to do the texture with the pudles, I am absolutly noob in this kind of stuff, sorry... And other question, now the track uses 512x512 texture repeatly for the tarmack, do I have to do the same for the rain? If it is correct, the puddles are going to be the same all over the track, isn't it?

thanks for your help
