Did you put it into program files or personal folder? Should be in personal (and I would delete the blank track files in program files to avoid confusion.)

i think this the right thread for this question but idk

ok so i want to use ddmxs obect pack in my track so i go into ddmxs obectpack1 folder and click on statues and press cut
i go to my blank track and paste the statues file in there and replace the old one with that
i go into the game and all the objects are there . except all the old objects like the finish line bleachers etc
so i opened the statues file in word and open a blank tracks statue file in wordpad i copy and paste everything thats in the blank tracks statue file into the track im working ons statue file . then i save it as a txt doccument . then i go into the game and still have just the obejcts from ddmxs object pack and not the stock objects . what am i doing wrong? is it because i saved as a txt doccument and not a file?

You can try saving it as a normal file, just rename it but take off the .txt at the end. Say OK to the filetype changing warning and see if it works then.

Everyone uses notepad++, it can save and open plain files.

Use the raise and lower tool and "paint" how you want the bumps to be. Vary the radius of the tool so everything isn't the same. Could take a while to get a good system down, but using both the raise and lower tools, then smooth parts some you might get a good outcome. To be honest doing braking bumps in a paint editor and in the track editor both have strong points and drawbacks, so try both and see which you like better.

i think youd be better off using the gradient editor for things like braking/acceleration bumps

"Your driver information:
- OpenGL version: 1.5.0 Build 7.14.10.1318
- Card/chipset: Intel 965/963 Graphics Media Accelerator
- Vendor: Intel"
