3. Experience-Report "Creating AIW"
===================================
*** You have to own a running rFactor-Game-1.255 ***
(Even if you are ONLY interested in gtr2/GTLegends-AIWs!)
(If needed:)
- Convert your gtr2/GTLegends-track to rFactor (easy, fast, simple)
(If wanted:)
- Instructions for track-converting in www.nogripracing.com/downloads/rFactor/Misc files "Convert between rF and gtr2"
- If necessary for You: See www.nogripracing.com/downloads/..
. "Making rF-AIWS" (...rFactor/Misc files)
. "Fight for AIW" (..gtr2/Misc files)
. "Dangerous KesselBerg" (...gtr2/Track Updates)
. "Oncoming traffic" (...gtr2/Track Updates)
- Download "rFactorAIWCAMEditor1255.ZIP" (2676 KB, single file, NO instructions...!!!), google or: http://www.rfactor.net/index.php?page=devcorner
(Optional:)
- HERE are only the pure textfile "AIWEditing.txt", For getting handling-pictures in .JPG-format, download:
"ftp://f001dc38:gsmfrulez@team-gsmf.org/AIW%20Editor%20Docs.7z"
*** Many thanks to genghis99 (Team-leader Nordschleife2007), who sended me this adress! ***
- Print "AIWEditing.txt" on paper, mark / underline it... Read it CAREFULLY !!!
- Missing textures wp1 / 2 / 3 causing CTD (when running Background-Editor1255) do complete: Use my color-blocks here included (or make something else with the Nvidia-DDS-Plugin in a photo/paint-program, e.g. Adobe-Photoshop-Elements...)
- Run "rF-Config.exe" and set tick after "Window", select a proper resolution (e.g. 1024*768 for a 1280*1024 screen), so you can easily switch between desktop, explorer, text-editor, rFactor with running Background-Editor1255
- Execute Background-Editor1255. It will execute rFactor (windowed).
- You can load a NEW "from-scratch"-track WITHOUT ANY AIW-file! Background-Editor1255 sets your car to 0,0,0.
- No alterations necessary, if under your centre (0,0,0) is a gmt-part with standard-materials, e.g. road, grass (see textfile "Terrain.tdf" in folder "Locations"), AND if set is "HATTarget=True" in the .SCN-file (Thanks to genghis99 for this hint!)
- If at your centre (0,0,0) is NO material (empty room, vacuum), create a "AIW-help-ROAD", a little, additional ROAD-gmt, so that you can drive your car from Start at (0,0,0) up to your track. Recording begins at XFinish.GMT. Later on, you may delete this little gmt "AIW-help-ROAD" again.
- Follow instructions in "AIWEditing.txt"
- I did NOT find instruction for Waypoint-Selection (spezial-menu): "Ctrl & ALT & left-MOUSE-key - FADER" with "box" around wanted waypoints. De-activating with waypoint-spezial-menu: Deselect ALL.
- Do save often the new AIW-file (e.g. 1.Step.AIW / 2.Step.AIW ...)
I hope, this is enough help for you to make proper AIW´s for your self-created from-scratch-tracks.
Good luck, wishes LkwFan
