ICR2 track converter?

ICR2 track converter?

by Morgan VW » Fri, 18 Feb 2000 04:00:00

I downloaded the ICR2 to N2 and N2 to ICR2 converters from The Pits, but
neither seems to work as advertised. I try to convert a track from one game to
the other (N2/N99 to and from CART) but in N99 I get "could not load comlete
track description" and in CART I get "3-D track definition could not be
loaded". Anything I'm missing here? Also, I'm using the Windows version of CART
(DOS version won't recognize my Logitech wheel properly) and the Windows and
DOS versions of N99.

  The free convertors only work with a few tracks.  These are really
demo convertors.  Cleveland, Portland and Longbeach I "think" are the
ones that can be converted from CARt, check the readme.  And the same
for the n2>icr2.  look in the readme for which tracks are convertable.

I think your problem is you are in D3D not 3DFX. The converted tracks only
work in 3DFX.

These converters apparently work on all N2 and CART tracks. They're listed in
The Pits/Archives section. Both DOS command-line programs by Gerhard
Lingenberg. The readmes don't say anything about them being limited demo
versions and the necessary files are included for converting every track
included in both N2 and CART. And I've tested in both the DOS-software version
of N99 and the Windows-3dfx version. CART, of course, doesn't have a 3dfx
version but I've tested both the DOS and Windows versions.

Mainly, I'd like to try the CART tracks in The Pit Touring Car add-on and
calendar file included indicates that converting all these tracks can be done.
But so far I can't figure out how.

The Gerhard Lingenberg converters are for Nascar 1, not 2.  If you
want the N2<->ICR2 converter full version, you have to jump through
the hoops.
