N3 to GPL track converter question

converter but I don't have N3. What size are those Tally files? And can I download them somewhere? I guess they are multimegabyte files, if so please don't mail them. I really really want to race Tally!!

Why not simply *buy* N3? You get the track you want plus several others (who knows maybe there will be other tracks converted): you get a decent game in itself and you'll be supporting the good folks at Papyrus that made it all possible. Do the right thing :) David Noonans > converter but I don't have N3. > What size are those Tally files? And can I download them somewhere?

Since you have to point the converter to the N3 directory, I'd assume that you have to have the full version on N3 installed. So, It would be worth it to buy it. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= http://members.xoom.com/BarlowRacing/ Racing online with the help of......

It is illegal to distribute those files. Besides which Tally online so far is a crashfest. If you have N2 then you have Michigan and Texas and Darlington.

>Why not simply *buy* N3? I don't want to play it. If I could pay, say 10 bucks for a GPL version of Tally I would, but it's not worth $50 to me. Joe McGinn _________________________ GA-Sports Writer http://www.ga-sports.com/

Joe, This is a decision you have to make. As for me, I shelled out the $50 for Nas3. But if you're dieing to run Tally, forget it. Every race is a demolition derby. And once you loose the draft,it's a BORING solo run. Tally is nothing more than flat our running. It's the easiest track to run. That's why you see more Tally races online with Nascar3 than any other track. More than once I've disco'd because I was bored to death. But run Michigan,C***te, or Texas, and get some of the best oval racing I've ever had. Joel Willstein

hmm. maybe someone has already anwsered/asked : - It will be a program to convert all ICR2 tracks , ( not the oval ) ? - Free? Sharware ? - It will be buyable in France ? from Internet ? rah... GPL at Elkart Lake ... must be so good !!!! rah.. GPL at Toronto ... drive me mad !!!

Actually, the only online races I did were with a limited field. I haven't run Talladega yet. Actually, I haven't done MUCH online racing recently.

Ok I'm willing to buy N3 but I can't find it in those damn Belgian stores! and I don't have Visa or Mastercard either so I can't buy online :-(. (It's getting time I'll finally do something about that) And about tally, your probably right, I can imagine Michigan is way more fun.

Never mind, I found it today and bought it. Why oh why isn't it based on the gpl engine?? It's good but it could be MUCH better! The cars can get airbourne, replays are hard to handle... It still has the aged N2 engine... Did they do this so people would buy the gpl-engined N4. And why doen't the converter work at my system? At about 99% of the convertion it says: Failed to open c:\...\gpl\tracks\nchrltte\bwpic.pbf (that's for the C***te speedway, but it does it for every track) Should that file be in that dir, because it isn't. PLEASE help me out here!

[This followup was posted to rec.autos.simulators and a copy was sent to the cited author.] There's a very good reason for Papyrus to not use the GPL engine on N3 and I'm quite thankful they didn't. The GPL engine was far ahead of its time. The system requirements for GPL were bad enough , but if they had used it on Nascar Racing 3 , and had made any improvements to it , we would all have needed a top-of-the-range PC to barely get it started. The decision to use the N2 engine , but redesign it , was a very good one . It was decided that the use of the GPL engine would require such a high spec PC that it would severely limit the number of people who could run it. Don't fret however . With faster processors being developed all the time , (we're already seeing 1GHz processors on the market!) it won't be long before Papyrus really do give us something to celebrate. Have some trust in Papy' . They know what they're doing . They've been developing some of the best racing simulators for years and are far ahead of the competition. -- Best regards, The Phoenix
