tileinfo info

[DJ99X]

Its probably a good idea to put a tile of similar colour to your decals underneath, just incase there is a bit of a gap in your decals.

how do i get the water clear instead of the green it origanally is

[jlv]

So how does the existing "texturelist" file play into all of this?

Is it totally obsolete or does the texturelist file tie the tileinfo file into the game...?

Yes, texturefile is obsolete

It is obsolete, but you might want to put one in for people who haven't upgraded.

Hey guys, I am having a slight problem with adding this to my track. I am using JLV's dirt settings from the test track for starters... I made a loam.ppm texture, added it to the texturelist file and when I go into the game its like I am on slick slick ice. You cant move anywhere, just slide around. Any suggestions please...

Thanks a ton guys!

texturelist file or tileinfo file?

[iceman967]

I added the loam.ppm to the texturelist and into the tileinfo list... I had JLV's files open to kind of help guide me along. When I go to change the texture in game, its all white and like slick ice. I set up my texturelist like:
(#'s) dirt.ppm
(#'s) grass.ppm
(#'s) loam.ppm

And in the tileinfo where the dirt.ppm was I added loam into it. DJ, if you would like for me to send you my track folder I'd be glad to. Any little help will be awsome!

Thanks for your consideration and help!

1)Don't bother touching texturelist if you are using tileinfo
2)If loam.ppm is in your track folder, it should be @trackname/loam.ppm

Here is what I used for our track

sorry, ya i have it as amx/loam.ppm... Ill try what you have, just touch the tile info and go from there. Thanks for your help man!

[dms]

how do i make mud less slippery ? lower friction or what ?

[DJ99X]

Yes, because lower friction makes things more grippy, lol

Either increase the friction to something closer to 1, or lower the slip rate, so the friction increases faster

Bump, this should be added to the track files explained topic, or stickied for newer people to find.

Is there a way to increase the particle's lifetime to several seconds? I'd want it to be floating around and growing from 5 to 10 seconds so a really dry and dusty sand track could be simulated. I've got the particle to grow pretty good but the game just kills the particles after a second or so.

[yzmxer608]

Have you tried playing with the drag at all?

[Shadow]

yupp. I've got drag set to something like 55.5 still doesn't work

[Shadow]

Here's the roost particle info, can anyone spot what could change the lifetime to several seconds? With those settings the particle starts to form and grow like a dust cloud but it just disappears after a second.

count=10 dig=1.2 slip_threshold=5.5 slow_speed=0.0 fast_speed=64.0 slow_angle=1.57 fast_angle=0.196 size=0.25 grow=12.0 drag=50.5 vscale=3.0 randomize=35.0 r=255 g=255 b=255 a=255 fade_r=0 fade_g=0 fade_b=0 fade_a=0
