Hello,

So I just got the GPL converter...it looks good but i couldn't try it
because i don't have ANY nascar game to get the tracks from.

So here is my question : Do i need the complete game to have be able to make
gpl tracks or just the track files ? Where can I get them, is there
somewhere a site where I can DL the original tracks, frankly I don't reaaly
like nasacr games so i feel not too e***d about buying some of these games
just to get the gpl tracks.

Thx

You need all the games....
but you might be able to get them at a video rental store or something
if you just want them for the conversion.

Why did you get the converter if you didn't have any tracks to convert?  ;)

no you dont need the games, just the track files, you can make a dummy
directory and the converter will work.

Why not download the demo of Nascar 3. The Texas Motor Speedway converts ok.

The NASCAR 2 demo includes Watkins Glen, which you can convert with
the demo converter.  I think it also includes Atlanta, which you can
convert with the oval2gpl converter.

The ICR2 demo includes Detroit, which you can enhance with Alison
Hine's 3D kits and then convert with the full conveter (untested, as I
don't have the full converter).  It also includes Michigan, which
cannot be converted.

The NASCAR 3 demo includes Texas, which you can convert with the
oval2gpl converter.  It also includes Loudon, but the demo converter
can't use it, for some reason.

I don't remember what's in the NASCAR Legends demo, but I don't think
they can be converted.

Thanks for your input.

However I don't have a DSL line, just plain stupid phone which I have to pay
for, so DL a 20 Megs+ demo to get 1 track....

If you could send me some tracks it would be nice.

Thx

The new tracks are worth the price of the games, even if that is all one uses
them for. However, I have to wonder whether Louis bought the converter, since
he is so concerned about price. If he has a pirated version, cooperation is not
in order. Just my opinion.

So not only cheap, you're also lazy enough to expect people to jump in
and perform favours (even copyright violation) for you. Sorry bud,
download the demos or buy the games or live without them.

  ebay....or any used software outfit, you can find most of the Papy
titles at reduced cost.  If you are worried about
the convertor actually working....don't be.  There are hundreds of
folks here who have used it and I don't see any posts complaining about
it's working or not.  
  The Nascar Acceleration pak has all three N3 based sims, the CART
racing cd has the 5 year old ICR2 tracks and sells usually for less than
10 to 12 dollars in US funds.  Once you purchase the things..then
SELL'em, just keep backups of your track folders and recoop some of your
investment.
  Good luck

Good, do whatever you want,

This NG is getting to be more and more like an old womans club

"Oooooooh, maybe he didn't buy it, maybe he is a THIEF, maybe we shouldn't help him"

Ok, don't help me then, I will find people who do are not so prejudiced as you.

have a good week-end though, I promise if I ever race against you on VROC I will not kick you out.

Besides that my turn to be like you

"oooooooh he is posting in HTML, he doesnt respect the RULES, maybe he is a hacker, maybe he sends viruses, maybe he invented 'I love you' as you see we can go far by that way of thinking.

You won't find many people keen to do this. The whole point is to convert
tracks you own, not tracks you've "borrowed".

The converter works, don't worry about that. You can safely buy ICR2, N2/3
etc. and enjoy the new tracks for GPL. Of course if you keep asking for
free tracks you'll open yourself up to the criticism that you're
"borrowed" the converter as well :->

Why didn't you just say that you did buy it? I think the
answer is obvious; you didn't. If every one steals
everything, there will be no new products to steal. Quit
your whining and get a job.
