Won't show up in the menu

I converted a gtr2 track to race07, using tutorial by rickylix, did everything correctly and it doesn't show up in the track menu. Funny thing is i have converted the exact same track using the same methods before from gtr2 to race07 and it worked fine.

More info or link to the files can be very helpfull. What you checked? Probably a misstype somewhere or you forgot something to change ..

check for the usual........................make sure you have category= in your gdb file, check that names and locations in the gdb file correspond to physical location, also check the trk file to make sure the paths are correct to physical location and that you have put all the shared stuff in for race07.

Oh those, yeah i have them in the trk. And no typos found or so. I'd like to send the files, but it seems that it's against the forum rules...?

(track is botniaring from gtr2)

Hi, also check that the gdb is saved as "ANSI" not "UTF-8". When saving from notepad I always use "Save As..." to double check that the format is correct.

Problem was in the .gdb, first [trackname] at the very top was left untouched
