daytona/n3 wont load

I just got the Daytona cd from DIS, installed it, installed both N3 and NL patches and the demo works fine but I still can't get the tracks to work in the full version of N3 or NL. I copied the the patched daytona Directories from the demo to the full versions "Cannot Load Complete Track Description" thats what I get. This is super fustrating. has anyone solved this problem. HELP..

"Problem"? It isn't a "problem" it is a simple matter of editing the all.cal file properly. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

I must have gotten confused with the legality of importing the Daytona track into N3/NL vs. the actual work of importing the track, with so many posts debating the legality of this and that over the Daytona track. <g> Ricky Lee

It was not even an issue for me. Papy claimed all the tracks would be in N3 anyway. They knew damn well what we would do with the Daytona track demo otherwise they would have changed the formatting of the track. I would suggest just having fun with the track and not worry about that meaningless other legal bullshit.

Oh shit I must be doing something wrong because Daytona installed just fine into N3. Online and offline works just great. There is nothing to import. You just put the files into the tracks directory where they should go and edit the all.cal file with the following changes: 31 12 25 0 0 DAYTONA Daytona_500 Daytona_500 200 event1.tga biglogo1.tga 32 12 99 0 0 XXXXXXXX You have to be sure to change that last line otherwise it will get all screwed up. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com > Ricky Lee

Didn't I read somewhere that the track won't work in N3/NL by just importing the track directly to N3/NL? I think there's a patch (no, not the patch from Papy) that allows you to import the track to N3/NL. And if my memory serves, the patch is at http://www.simcyberworld.com/ Ricky Lee

Oops! Sim***world has a patch for night Daytona, but not for importing day Daytona. And I can't remember where that patch is. Of course, you can just download the day Daytona track itself, if someone can point out where that is. Think I need to replace my memory in my head. ;) Ricky Lee

No that fix is for stand alone races as well. Check this please. look in the track directory and make sure you have all the setup files. they should be files that end with .stg and .st1 (that is the # one) there should be: ace, fast, easy, qualify that end with stg. also race.st1 and default.st1. if those files are not in there, copy them from the talledega folder and that might get you started. good luck dave henrie "Mr. Baseball" wrote:

True, which is why my conscience has already stopped talking to me. ;) Ricky Lee
