Croft Circuit, UK - v1.0 (last update:2013.04.10)

[freew67]

Do you have all the xsectors (finish, in, out, 1, 2)?

[ethone]

Have you made sure there are no materials set to "Default" and have textures assigned?

[feels3]

Materials are fine. I forgot about sectors.
I added them and now my track doesn't show up in the track select. There is only JoesVille circuit.

This is my GDB file wich I copied from JoesVille's track but I have changed paths and files names.

My track folders are:

Croft/Assets/GMT
Croft/Assets/Maps
Croft/Croft_Main
Croft/pcrew_maps

[Luc Van Camp]

I assume you have a Croft_Main.tdf in your main Croft folder?

(There's no reason to call the TDF Croft_Main, just Croft.tdf would look more correct, structurally -- just trying to add a bit of convention here ...)

When is it crashing? At the start of the loading process? At the end? No error messages?

[fanlebowski]

I have some problems..

I have exported all files (scn, gmt) and I want to run my track in dev mode but rf2 is crashing all the time.

When I copied my Croft's files in location folder I ran dev mode and I see that JoesVille track is missing, there is only my track and rf2 crashes when I try to load it.

i think i know your issue

when you see your track on max you see all textures. BUT, certainly, all materials have not their textures attached.

i suppose you have materials with shader "default" and no texture, even if max find and show it.
you'll have no error during export, and just a game crash during loading.

take an object with 1 material, double check this material, and export your track with only this object in scn. i'm sure it will work, ... or almost

When is it crashing? At the start of the loading process? At the end? No error messages?

Now it doesn't show up in track select.

@fanlebowski,

Materials are fine.

[lasercutter]

what files are in Croft and Croft_main folder, and what does the scn look like (from top down to view settings)

[feels3]

Croft folder:

Croft.tdf (I have changed name after Luc's suggestion)
CroftIcon.dds

Croft_Main:

Croft_Main.cam
Croft_Main.gdb
Croft_Main.scn
Croft_Main.wet
Croft_Main_loading.jpg
Croft_Mainicon.tga
Croft_MainSMicon.dds
Croft_MainThmb.tga
swheel_trackmap.dds

And scn file:

And so on..

[lasercutter]

everything looks ok there, have you tried removing joesville from the mod dev locations and trying it with just your track present?

[feels3]

Yes, and then there is no track to choice.

[klaasvh]

If the track stopped showing up after you added the xsector, could it be a problem with the materials on them?

[feels3]

I found the solution.
I have two .scn files, the second one was in GMT folder. I deleted this file and now it works.

Thanks for you help! I need to clean up my folders

[feels3]

So...my first rf2's shots in very early stage of development

[Franciscodog]

Looks fine!

[hoover]

Great track, keep up the good work!

Uwe

[feels3]

I have tweaked some textures and now I can show you more shots.

Lots of objects are missing (waiting for export from 3dsmax), most of textures are using simple shader T1 (it will change later), hdr is OFF, heat haze is OFF.

I have a lot of work to do :-)

[dano1990]

looking very promising feels, keep up the good work

[mianiak]

You got realroad working, nice

[Antonio_MHO]

Good job. Keep it up. : D

[deBorgo83]

Seems to be shaping up really well. Nice work, looking forward to this.
