The Random Discussion Thread (RDT)

My new project, instead of updating the stock papyrus tracks:

MAKING ALL THE FICTIONAL TRACKS FROM NASCAR DIRT TO DAYTONA AND THUNDER 03/04

Includes the Dirt Tracks from DTD, as well, so let's start making a list:

DTD:
Welch Valley
http://faqs.ign.com/articles/393/393133p1.html

(Scroll to section 5)

idk the rest, haven't had the game for 3 years, fill this section in someone

2003/2004:
Tiburon, obviously
Dodge Raceway Stadium (maybe, if I learn to do shadows)
Dockside (will be hard, don't know how to make objects
New York (look above)
Tally Infield, will probably use Tally 06 as a base
Texas Infield, most likely will use stock Texas, although will be going forwards instead of Traditional NT reverse
Phoenix Infield
Pocono Infield
Sawmill (Will use the Trees from Karjala )

I'll fill in DTD. I think most of the fictionals were for modifieds.

Some of them were epic. And scratch the Dirt Track part.

DOWN BY MESH STL IS RETRO AND FTFW

Firin' up DTD.

DTD is epic win

I know

Jake, could you try to make maps of the tracks in GIMP? I'd appreciate it as I don't have DTD or a PS2 atm. Same with the others.

No need. You'll see why.

Ok:

Crystal Lake Raceway in Vermont; 1 Mile Dover Shaped; Flat like Fontana; Grandstands only on frontstretch; no pit lane wall

Elk River Raceway in Pennsylvania; 1 Mile Pocono Shaped (Kinda like Carbondale); Flat like Fontana; No pit lane wall; Scenery in turn one. Lots of buildings, stands stretch from entrance of turn three to end of frontstretch.

Dennsion Speedrome in IDK; 1/2 mile high banked; bristol shaped; billboards turns 1 & 2; grandtsnads on front only;

Track Surfaces?

For Crystal Lake and Elk River, it is very old pavement. Kinda like default Martinsville, just a little darker.

Dennison I think is concrete, at least it looks like it.

Not doing Dennison as it's Bristol on steroids.

Kinda the reverse. Dennison is only 4/10ths of a mile, I believe.

Still not doing that one

I don't 'spose anybody is going to stop by the chatbox? I'm over there waiting for something eventful to happen -- I'm all by myself.

lol I love Crystal Lake

I ran a test IROC-ish race, but Devan LeCroix, one of my fictional drivers, had to spoil everything. And Justin's car was far better with 2 to go at Talladega. The King of NORA had a problem with his motor and held me up and we were by ourselves when the other six broke away by, like, 2 seconds. Good clean race, though. There were ten cars total in the test NR03 demo race.

Anyone able to post their track editing folder for sandbox, I can't get MIPs to work in Sandbox

I wanna edit tracks in Sandbox but I don't know how

When someone asks for help, you don't comment on how much you want to do it. If it doesn't help, don't say anything.

Milano, I think you copy the shared folder into the sandbox folder.

Josh made a video recently about it.

I wasn't referring to Milano's post actually

I am so stupid... I let RJ sign up on by forum..
