Timing Gates Go Poof

Post by Jrife548 »

So I'm trying to make my own Straight Rhythm type thing and for whatever reason, when I try to edit the first/normal lap numbers, the timing gates disappear in game. If I just leave the numbers default, the timing gates show up fine. Another thing that I noticed is the 2015 and 2018 straight rhythm tracks don't have timing gates either, not just for me either. Steve Harris and I tried to host a race on both of those tracks and nobody in the server had timing gates just like we didn't, obviously. Is there some issue with a new snapshot or something that doesn't allow for the first lap to have only 2 gates or something along those lines?

Here's what my timing_gates file reads:

Code: Select all

startinggate:

Have you tried adding more gates first?

Nevermind, try to have gate 0 1 as first lap (add a new one as gate 1), then have gate to 2-9 as normal lap, see if that changes anything?

You need at least 3 gates in a lap. There's some AI and timing stuff that's simplified by not allowing laps with less segments.
