hi I have converted a track for my personal use and it has different layouts with it which I am struggling to get to work in rfcmp as when I install it in game the layouts work as different tracks in spinner and not working under original track as the different layouts thanks
it has to do with the way your gdb's are set up. Listed below are 2 variations at the same track.................. GP track ---------- TrackName = Brands Hatch GP 2007 EventName = Brands Hatch GP 2007 GrandPrixName = Brands Hatch 2007 VenueName = Brands Hatch 2007 VenueIcon = BrandsHatch2007\BrandsHatch2007Icon.dds INDY track ------------- TrackName = Brands Hatch Indy 2007 EventName = Brands Hatch Indy 2007 GrandPrixName = Brands Hatch 2007 VenueName = Brands Hatch 2007 VenueIcon = BrandsHatch2007\BrandsHatch2007Icon.dds note that certain elements remain the same to make sure they behave as expected. If you make sure each track variation has the naming convention as illustrated above you will be fine. Make sure that the dds file you use is generic for the location and not a track variation specific dds, as the picture remains the same on all variations of the track. Sadly I cannot send you the track to study or anyone else for that matter as the track is a private conversion for personal use.
I have managed to get the other layout in the track the only problem I have now is the first track loads ok but the second layout dosent go past the loading screen but if I use it as a separate track it loads ok
This is how I got Oran Park to work with multiple layouts. First up you need to to separate common objects and track specific items. All common objects I put in OranPark_GMT.mas and OranPark_Maps.mas. All track specific items go in the respective mas OranPark_OranGP.mas or OranPark_OranNorth.mas (track specific items include xfiles, gdb, scn, aiw, cam, loading screen, all icons etc as well as any track side objects related to each separate layout eg track barriers.) Each scn file has only the objects needed for that layout. Note that the same TDF file is used in all layouts. GDB file looks like this for GP TrackName = Oran Park -- OranGP EventName = Oran Park -- OranGP GrandPrixName = Oran Park -- OranGP //this must be the same as event name in order to sort circuit info correctly. VenueName = Oran Park VenueIcon = OranPark\OranParkIcon.dds TerrainDataFile=..\OranPark.tdf and this for North TrackName = Oran Park -- OranNorth EventName = Oran Park -- OranNorth GrandPrixName = Oran Park -- OranNorth //this must be the same as event name in order to sort circuit info correctly. VenueName = Oran Park VenueIcon = OranPark\OranParkIcon.dds TerrainDataFile=..\OranPark.tdf GP SCN looks like this MASFile=COMMONMAPS.MAS MASFile=OranPark.MAS MASFile=OranPark_ANIMS.MAS MASFile=OranPark_GMT.MAS MASFile=OranPark_Maps.MAS MASFile=OranPark_OranGP.MAS NORTH looks like this MASFile=COMMONMAPS.MAS MASFile=OranPark.MAS MASFile=OranPark_ANIMS.MAS MASFile=OranPark_GMT.MAS MASFile=OranPark_Maps.MAS MASFile=OranPark_OranNorth.MAS Hope that helps
