Tracktesting and Feedback

Maybe a move to directX (xbox) if its an externally backed project

Directx or opengl, that should not be the reason for the new tracks being not re-usable in GPB (or vice-versa).

does anyone know how to start an onlineserver or a testsession with a "layout"?
made a test with two different layouts of the contidrom, but i am not able to get it to work.



server.ini:
...
track = Contidrom_V0.1
track_layout = long
category = SSP600
...

Sorry JJ no idea mate. I have seen the options and wondered before though

PS: Been V/busy JJ.... I'll test your track and provide some feedback for you later mate!

ahh stop hawk, i know u has less time this week.
no more tests for horice needed. now working on the contidrom and need to figure out how this layout-thing works, or if its generally working...

By layout. do you mean having 2 track layouts within same circuit?

[JJS209]

yes

[Hawk]

Oh bugger! Lol
I did know how to do that a while back, I've forgot exactly how to do it now with not needing to do it myself...... If no one has the info for you I'll see if I can find the knowledge again and post it here later. 

I'm sure it's something to do with the track config file....

Well, you have completely lost me on this one  I shall remain confused as to why tracks would not be compatible

Well I'd have thought that either Piboso is redesigning the way the tracks work, or redesigning the graphics engine, or the tracks will be officially licenced, or a combination of all those things.
Probably to make the new tracks work in GPB or integrate them into GPB would require GPB to be totally redesigned programmatically speaking. 

Best lets wait till Piboso is willing to divulge more detailed information about the subject.

Sounds like good times ahead for bike games.  Way to go Piboso!

Hi JJ

Unfortunate I cannot find anything about multi-track layouts to remind me how it was done. However I seem to remember that you create both versions in their respective track folders and then just drag and drop one track folder into the other. Then in the in-game track menu both tracks show up and the rider chooses which layout he wants to use.
You could rename the track folder within the main track folder to specify the alternate track layout you wish to state.

Then as far as tracks on server are concerned it should work as usual. 

Not sure if this is exactly how it's done, but seems logical to me....... Give it a try.
