NaN, I've looked at your new Blender scripts. Are these the latest versions? They look very good.

The biggest thing for which the old trackeditor must still be used, it seems, is to create roads.trk if you don't have one to import.

I'm thinking about writing a graphical interface for all these scripts using the Blender Draw module:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/249...odule.html

What kind of features would be good? Here are some I've thought of...

• set attributes about the track:
  
  • output directory
    
  • name
    
  • author
    
  • license
    
  • ...
• provide a set of different object profiles, which can be applied to objects to auto-fill the property values (does Blender already have this? all I can find is Object -> Copy Attributes -> Properties...)
  
  • grass
    
  • concrete
    
  • sand
    
  • skybox
    
  • ...
• save all these track attributes and object profiles with the .blend file (in the .blend file?)
  
• choose which mesh is the track
  
• setup objects that are not exported but used as starting points
  
• specify some vertices as the starting line
  
• an "Export Track" button that creates objects.jpk, list.txt, roads.trk, track.txt, surfaces.txt, copies all graphics, and everything else which needs to be done, to get a track into VDrift
