2 new tracks (zandvoort and brands hatch)

[joevenzon]

I saw these in SVN today and thought thelusiv did them. Really good job, alex, the track editor and conversion process is not easy to understand or use. I'll make a few touch-ups to the versions in SVN. Here's what I'm going to do:

Zandvoort:
For objects that are billboard-type sprites like the people standing or sitting or trees you should set their properties such that you disable lighting and mipmapping for them. Also, any objects that are semi-transparent should have that blended property set (which I think you may have done already).

Brands:
Same comments as above. For objects that have some fully transparent parts and some fully opaque parts (like the wire fence, the starting blocks, etc) you should disable mipmapping.

I'll also add lap timing. The way this is done is by pointing at a square that's just after the starting line and hitting E. You then should go find a square that's halfway through the track and hit E while pointing at it. Then save. To start over and clear those squares, press the minus key. By selecting two squares instead of one, the driver has to drive over both squares before a lap counts (which makes sure he goes all the way around). But since you do have to hit both squares for it to be considered a lap, make sure that the squares are in areas where the driver won't miss them.

To answer your question about the racer tracks we converted, no, we weren't any more rigorous than you were in obtaining permission.
