Sears Point For GTR2?

gc24 · 3 December 06, 19:33

Anyone know where this track might be as well as Riverside?

Jax · 3 December 06, 20:07

the GTL Sear's Point converted fine for me

gc24 · 3 December 06, 20:44

I must be doing something wrong. I don't have the GTL game. I assum ethat you have to have that first. What converter are you useing?

Jax · 3 December 06, 22:23

no, just got it from the gtl section
convert it same as the others
or there is a tool to do it automatically
probably also listed in the downloads

gc24 · 3 December 06, 23:02

Well, if there is a tool, I must not be using it right.

Jax · 4 December 06, 00:19

it's not hard to use

gc24 · 4 December 06, 00:45

Thanks, but I have already tried that several times and I can't seem to get that to work right. It doesn't sem to find the track to convert it over to Gtr2. Maybe if you explained how to use it better, I might be able to use it.

Jax · 4 December 06, 05:27

have you set the paths to the games?
there's a "set paths" button
it can't find anything without that
results will be in the ini file
also read the readme for what it can't do

gc24 · 4 December 06, 14:58

Like I said before, if someone could explain exactually how to do it, that would be helpful as I have tried to set the paths and I seem to be doing something wrong. just throwing hints or suggestions doesn't help.

Jax · 4 December 06, 15:28

you are probably better off just converting them manually - just change all instances of gtl to gtr in file extensions and the trk file - you don't need the tool (and the tool doesn't work for some files anyway)

since you don't have gtl - you will have to pretend you do to the tool - the file structure of gtr is the same as gtl - just duplicate it for the locations folder so you can set the path to it - should work fine - it doesn't need the game, it just needs to know where the locations folder is

gc24 · 4 December 06, 16:25

Thanks. Let's pretend I don't know what you are talking about here as I have changed the masfiles in the track files to gtr and I get CTD. The converter doesn't work for me for Sears Point. I see that there are other files that say gtl. We have about 9 posts here and not any closer to a solution as you know what to do and it's obvious I don't.

GUPSTER · 5 December 06, 00:30

For Infineon (Sears Point) to work it is simple. You don't have to change any file ext. In the Infineon.trk file do a simple edit in notepad. Make it look like this:

MASFile=skies_central.gtr
MASFile=Infineon1.gtl
MASFile=Infineon2.gtl
MASFile=InfineonTex.gtl

You only change one letter lol

Hope this helps.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 01:55

Nope, even did a copy and paste of your files into the trk file. Is this track file supposed to be labeled Sears Point or Infineon?

gc24 · 5 December 06, 01:55

All I get is a CTD with this, very frustrating.

jd121449 · 5 December 06, 03:33

Download the Sears Point GTL Track from here.
http://www.nogripracing.com/details.php?filenr=1160
Unzip that track anywhere, use the track converter, click on the box convert a GTL track into a GTR2 track, browse to the folder where you unzipped the GTL track. Make sure you click on the track folder. Hit the convert button and all should work. If it does'nt work for you I think that you must be doing something wrong. The track name will be Infineon.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 03:58

Nope, it doesn't work. I put it in my documents, clicked on it and it looks for the GTL source, says I am missing files. I give up on it.

mik9ster · 5 December 06, 09:10

I'm pretty sure you can't unzip or extract the track file anywhere. This is what I did: Create a "GTL" folder, inside of it create a "gamedata" folder, inside of that create a "locations" folder and put the track file which you downloaded inside of "locations". Now try to use the converter. I think that is the pattern that the converter uses when searching for a GTL track file. So whenever you download a GTL track, always save them there. This way sort of tricks the converter program to thinking you have GTL. Worked for me, tell me if it works for you.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 15:11

Nope. I put a file like you said in my documents GTL=gamedata=locations=infineon and all I get is missing files aborting. Not sure what the problem is. Tell me what I am supposed to click on with the converter as maybe that is the problem.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 15:33

Ok!! I got it. Seems I had the Infineon also in the games locations file and it couldn't convert. Thanks alot for the help. Now, anyway to get the old Riverside track into this game?

gc24 · 5 December 06, 17:07

Ok, back with the same problem now for Road Atlanta. Does it not work for that one?

mik9ster · 5 December 06, 18:29

It wont work if it has multiple courses. I think one at a time will work.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 18:50

Doesn't seem to work that way either. Have you tried to convert it yet?

mik9ster · 5 December 06, 19:10

yeah, I just put those 2 files that were inside "road atlanta" but outside of the seperate courses and added them in the long course, renamed the long course to road atlanta and converted that way. It's only one course instead of three but I'm sure all three can be done. Send me a personal message if this doesn't work.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 19:22

Yea, I got it. Turns out it's not the track I was looking for. I remember a F1 track or Nr2003 track that is in the US that has a long downhill, 90 degree right hand turn and goes under a bridge. Can't remember it.

GUPSTER · 5 December 06, 20:02

probably Mid Ohio or Limerock

gc24 · 5 December 06, 20:24

I'll check those out. Thanks.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 20:46

It's not Lime rock and mid Ohio converts, but won't load.

jd121449 · 5 December 06, 22:29

Goggle "3d modding gtr2" . You have to register. Loads of tracks.

gc24 · 5 December 06, 23:56

Really, cause I don't even see that URL.

gc24 · 6 December 06, 00:57

Found it, thanks.

Cremaster · 12 January 07, 05:59

Does anyone know of a later version of Sears Point / Infineon? I tried the version from the link in this thread but it is pretty old, before they tore down the hills and it doesn't include the carousel.
