Could Not Load Complete Track Descr. - Error??

by OleCountryBo » Wed, 12 Sep 2001 01:51:30

Does someone know why this error comes up in Papyrus sims?  Here is why
I'm getting it right now...

I converted N3 South Boston to NL Langley Field using the conversion
program that's out there.  Everything seemed to work okay.  When I
started up NL, Langley Field was there, but when I try to access the
track I get the following error message:

Could not load complete track description

I've seen it before, in Grand Prix Legends, and I think N2, but I've
never actually asked if anyone knows what it's about and how to remedy
it.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

  Usually it means you don't have the required default setups in place.  You
need several files for the track to load. "This is off the top of my head,
but you can look at track folders that load properly to make sure.
the setup files end with stg or st1 (thats a one not an L)
There are the base setups, fast.stg ace.stg and easy.stg.
but you also need default.st1  & race.st1   I'm pretty sure there is at
least one more you need but that should get you at least able to compare the
working folders from those that won't load.

ps  if you use truck setups, the same thing goes except the truck files end
in ttg and tt1
