Converted ICR2 Tracks Problem with N3

by rub.. » Fri, 19 May 2000 04:00:00

I have a number of tracks converted from ICR2 (tracks such as Wexford,
Nurnberg, Sonoran, Kloster, and Hana Bay) for use with N99.  I tried
to move these tracks into my N3 tracks folder and editted the
track.txt file and all that and have had no luck.  I was hoping to
race on these track with the 3D acceleration in N3.

I know that N99 tracks can be used with N3 cause I've moved Hickory
and a couple others over already.  One thing I did notice with these
converted tracks is that the track.dat file is extremely small in Kbs
compared to the N3 track.dat files.  Is this it?  Not enough info in
the dat files?  I read somewhere that I needed to have the rendition
version of ICR2 in order to move them into N3.  Is this true?  I have
the 1.1 Windows version of ICR2.  Any help would greatly be
appreciated.  Thanks....

  what video card do you have?(I bet I already know:> ) The ICR2 tracks
that were converted for N3 only work with 3dfx cards (at least as far as
I know).  Our league ran all the CART road courses, but we could only
get the 3d with 3dfx cards.  TNT/GeeWhiz cards were out of luck.

        Don't forget to convert the logos for the track and the event to
.tga from .pcx.  N3 needs .tga's, N99 used .pcx's.
