Renaming track trouble

Post by LifeLong24 »

Wassup, i just made my first track, and tried renaming it but every time i rename it and go on it in game, its gunna a blank track again. However whenever i change the name of the folder back to 'blank' its fine?
Also how do i make it so other people can play it? Just turn it into a .saf?
Cheers

alrght so make a new file in your tack folder. Dont make it a text document. Dont make it anything, just a file. Call it "desc". Now open that file with notepad++ and inside name the track whatever you want to name it. Just type in the name of the track, save it, and call it good. That should work. Let me know if it doesnt.

I don't know if this is me being stupid but when i've typed the named of the track in notepad and saved it 'desc' it just automatically saves it as a text file. I can't see a way to stop it though?

Take the ".txt" extension off the end of the file,that should do it

What does the icon look like on the Desc file? Does it look like a blank piece of paper?
