N2003 Add-on track shadow graphic errors

Guys,

in the US Pits forum and in the Team Lightspeed N2002/N2003
Editing forum, someone said that copying the sky.3do from
/tracks/shared/shared.dat into the track directory of an Add-on
tracks cures the graphics problems.

This worked for me at the tracks where I've quickly tested it. The shadow
probs inside the***pit and the replay are gone. The ICR2 tracks still have
minor texture problems, but so far they seem to be of a less conspicuous
nature, on the trackside rather than in the middle of the drivers field of
vision. IMHO already quite well usable now.

Someone else said you also need the trkwin.stp from an original track, but
so far I couldn't see any diff with or without it.

The trkwin.stp is just the image for the victory screen. The old ones used a
screenshot from the track and then overlayed the winner's car into it. This
made them rather difficult for the user made tracks to recreate properly.
Now it is just a generic background, so they should be much easier to make
for the add-on tracks.

I don't have that directory in N2002 (I have installed converted tracks
using Dave Noonan's converter). Where can I get that sky.3do file?

This is a fix for N2003, you don't have that directory in N2002 and you
shouldn't need the file in N2002 either

ok... do I have to extract it from the shared.dat file?

I would really like to be able to race at Mesa Marin :)
