Hello, and can I be of service?

[aegidian]

Working on it, at least in terms of researching what the Track Editor is actually supposed to do...

So far I understand it to create/edit the roads.trk, track.txt, and possibly the objects/list.txt.

roads.txt is a list of 4x4 bezier patches making up the circuit as it's intended to be driven - I presume the 'x' and 'y' coordinates are supplied (in pairs) by the user tracing the map and the 'z' (terrain-height) values from the intersection with the surface of the track model at that point.

That would require an overhead/3d movable rendering of the surface and some point selection - not too hard.

track.txt just defines some simple positions for start positions and some other values for the track (I expect there's more to be added here).

list.txt gives the models and collidablity etc. of every model that makes up the track, I'm not sure what defines their positions or whether these models are moveable or not (like a cone that can be hit and moved, a track marker or hay bale).


I'd be grateful for corrections/expansions of these ideas as I have them thus far.
