hi guys, any mini tutorial to add lines on a track? like escape roads. I've been trying to do it for a track because we will run a league race there soon, anybody can help me? thanks
This is a little too vague... Can you elaborate on what you need? Runoff areas? You'll need to import the existing track into a 3d modelling software, which im assuming you did?
yeah, using 3ds max atm because I prefer it over blender. What I am trying to achieve is to add whitelines on track zones where usually there are none. Take that escape road at T1 in Barcelona this year as an example. I don't necessarily need a new piece of tarmac, just a method to add whitelines on the track for runoff areas and escape roads.
but how to actually get it sitting precisely on the road surface? I am aware of Z fighting, but that could be solved easily, but what if I wanted the spline to follow exactly the road surface for example from the entry of eau rouge to the exit?
Scripted glue plug in tutorial 3ds max - YouTube You need to select "glue mesh vertices" And you'll also need to add an offset of around 0.01 to ensure theres no Z fighting. Hoping you do have some skill in using 3ds max? If you dont understand the basics of 3d modeling... the tutorials here wont get you very far.
Hi, I am trying to build my first track by following this guide. Things went smoothly until when I tried to test it in game (i tried launching in CM and AC, same result), this message popped up. So I tried re-making the track. Changing all the texture from .jpg to .png, scaling down the track model in blender, reinstalled the SDK editor. Yet, the same messaged popped up. I have searched this thread using this forum's search function and nothing about damaged track main layout are found, nor did relevant result are found by googling. I have no idea what is the cause of this error but I wonder if the weiredness of my SDK editor had something to do with it, due to the weird shadow here: the Material: (Since the track is simple, all my materials have the same setting) Also, here is the crash-log(from log.txt): The error may also be caused by my lazy modeling so I have attached the .blend and .fbx files down below to see if it would help solving the problem here. Thank you for reading and helping me fix this error.
betcha the folder name and the kn5 file name that opens the track are missing a space or an underscore or something. That mistake still happens to me to this day
i see the problem, you need to name your file "tetsing.kn5", same like the foldername AC is looking for that file if you dont have a "models.ini" (no, you dont need that if you only have one "...kn5")
Welp this explained everything, I missed the detail where the folder name and the kn5 name needs to be the same. Thanks for pointing that out
Fixed! Spent a couple of hour troubleshooting myself only to discover such a silly mistake. Thank you so so much
After a few thousand times you get used to going through the procedure and the "obvious" checkups.... GOOD LUCK !
Is the external audio method using a path in audio_sources.ini working anymore? I read that you'd need to create an FMOD sound bank, which i have no idea how to do at all. Are there any tutorials that tell me directly what to do to just get external audio sources done?
Hey everyone, thanks for the amazing tutorial thread. Basically the only full guide on how to do it. Anyway, I'm having trouble with my spawn points (at least I think that's it). It's just the classical "wheels missing" error. I have the spawn points oriented right (Y up, z forward), and they are empties so it's not scaling or material. I've uploaded a zip with the blender files, editor files and actual track in game. https://mega.nz/file/HR0WmSSL#PkF1TTgECqfpfsMyhWQY5P4jaSjvPKqh27imb1E_BDc Thanks for your help
