Unable to load trackmap

[FilipeMB]

I am not being able to load real-life track maps to build the track upon them.

but you are not supposed to either. The editor doesn't load images so you can build upon ( i think )

After I read the editor manual, I thought I could load up it there. :wall:

I'm not absolutely sure, maybe someone with more experience in track editing can confirm

Even i'm clueless as to what the trackmap thingy does...

Si?

It is this what's written:

And may I ask a opinion about a track I'm making?

Nah, I think you can't do that. And I also have no idea what this is for.

And of course, you can ask a question. :)

fellow brazilian,
what do you think of this track?

Do you think it matches or it's close to the original one (the yellow-lined track)?

The layout's pretty good! It's very close to the real thing. By the way, what track is it?

Bremgarten.. a track in Switzerland that hosted races in the beginning of the Formula 1 and Motorcycle championship.

Try copying TrackIm_1.png from C:/Program Files/New Star GP/Media/Tracks/ to Documents/New Star GP/Tracks/.

Type in the file name on the editor screen and tick the box and you should see a track image stretched in the background instead of the grass tiles.

wait...what?!

Does this mean we can have custom backgrounds? What is the intended use of this?

It's use is to give you a guide when placing your track tiles.

If the Monaco Project is still alive, it'll get a lot more easier...
