I have a strange problem. I converted a track with Noonan's converter, North Wilkesboro, from NL -> NR2003. The track loads and runs fine. However, opening the track in sandbox and saving it (no changes made), breaks the track LPs. Here are the steps I took:
Furthermore, I have converted another track from NL, Riverside, and followed the same steps above: the same symptoms arise. Therefore, it can be safely assumed that it's an issue with the conversion opening up in Sandbox. Yet this does not explain how the LP files work with existing user made versions of wilkes. They must come from the conversion! How??
- 1. Noonan convert North Wilkesboro, NL -> NR2003
- 2. Open NR2003 and confirm track opens in Single Race
- 3. Unpack track.dat
- 4. Copy all mips to trackmat (there is no trackmat in dat)
- 5. Unpack shared.dat
- 6. Open track.ptf
- 7. Save. No to center track.
- 8. Move track.ptf and trackmat folder to the track folder.
- 9. Open NR2003 and load North Wilkesboro. Receive "Could not load the track. Cancelling the race weekend."
- 10. Remove LPs and track now loads in Testing.
Furthermore, I have converted another track from NL, Riverside, and followed the same steps above: the same symptoms arise. Therefore, it can be safely assumed that it's an issue with the conversion opening up in Sandbox. Yet this does not explain how the LP files work with existing user made versions of wilkes.
