N4 Track Editor?

I know this is probably a pipe dream, but my biggest wish for N4 is a track editor. But apparently it isn't going to happen. :-( For that matter, has there EVER been any sort of track editor in any previous racing sim? If not why not? I mean we have course editors for golf games... John DiFool

yeah...thats because everybody has the non-encrypted version which somehow leaked from papyrus. N4 tracks WILL be encoeded.

SODA had a pretty awesome track editor! I thoroughly enjoyed making tracks, as well as running tracks that others had uploaded. :-) I doubt if you will ever see a track editor for Nascar, though. -Paul Western States Racing League www.wsrl.n3.net John DiFool <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Soda Off Road Racing had a pretty good track editor. and folks have said the track editor in CART Precision Racing was the single best feature of the game. Papyrus has never used an off the shelf product for it's tracks so only a very few have figured out the skills necessary for building tracks. There are some, especially for GPL, but not many. dave henrie John DiFool wrote:

yeah... the CPR editor was bitchin. I've made some pretty sweet tracks for that game. It's really the only reason it's still on my hard drive. DjFIL http://djfil.iwarp.com/ Dave Henrie wrote:

There may be reason to worry about N4. The Daytona tracks that came with the CD in the Daytona program are encrypted and can't be used with N3 or NL. What will happen if all the tracks in N4 are encrypted the same way and can't be modified or converted to othe rPapyrus games? buzard "John DiFool" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

First, sorry about the multiple posts, damn @home is pretending to be a dialup modem with email all of the sudden. Daytona encrypted? Perhaps you can't just drop it in you sim, but I have a Daytona for N3, and NL AND N99. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure folks like Dave Noonan will figure out how to get gpl and n4 tracks compatible. dave henrie Bob Thurman wrote:

The only reason that Papyrus encrypted Daytona for N3 is so that the guys at Daytona Speedway would be happy that we couldn't use the track in the full version of N3 or in any other game. Papyrus won't encrypt tracks in N4 I think. ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Team Racing Unlimited http://simcrash.00game.com
