TFC's Track Tutorial Part 1 - Intro & Example Track

Welcome to my track tutorial series. Hopefully these tutorials will help you get involved in making tracks, and if you already are hopefully you'll be interested in some of my methods. Over the series I'll be making a replica of Maggiora, the MXGP version (2015-ish). I'm going to cover importing replica terrain, using L3DT, using GIMP, using the MXB track tools and also how to get your track into Blender and how to get your objects out. Please subscribe to my channel to keep up to date and please like if you've enjoyed this video or found it useful.

Part 1 - In this part we'll be taking a basic look at how the track development folder works, how the in game track folder works, and how to get a track in game.

If you've found my tutorial series useful, enjoy my custom content and want to contribute, please feel free to donate. I do all this for free but obviously it takes a lot of time.

when i load up my game, after i had put the track in the tracks folder. there is no track when i come in? Like about here 7:23

[oliverroberts]

when i open the game up it still says Example Track even though i followed your steps. do you know why?

[dextro]

Does this still work in 2022?
im trying to make the first .trh file and its just not running but i can make the map file?

[RedRider]

Thanks TFC, I'm looking forward to the rest of them. I'm a bit of a do it yourself, bang your head against the wall trying to figure it out type so Hahaha this was a great start to let me know the general flow of renaming things and what sequence. I'm really interested in the textures. I've got the height map part down, I work in Leveller/Photoshop I just need help with understanding how to lay the textures out for the map.

[starfox_wr-e]

lol I'm literally stuck at the first hurdle.
Hi mate. Do you know of any reason why the TRH and MAP files wouldn't generate after running the .bats?
I have terrained & tracked files in the main folder.
Renamed everything (trh map centreline) in note++ (several times) using uppercase, lowercase. no spaces etc

Tried to keep it simple and named everything testtrack like you have. But the .bat files run, but produce nothing. I've done it exactly as you've shown and as in the readme but get nothing.

Any ideas? I feel like its a windows or program setting blocking the process.

Hi when I put testtrack folder in to mods/tracks folder it doesn't show up in game. I downloaded the latest track tools and example track files but still not showing up. Any ideas?

[linusnilsson]

Great! I really want to make my home track :) How long does it take to make a good track hour wise?

[itssoupyyyy]

someone help me. I cant launch the test track to even make sure i did that part right. it just boots me off bikes

[ultiminsannitee]

@TFC I have mirrored your pt. 1 tutorial twice now and the track still does not show up in game. The only thing that I see that is different is that your two .EDF files (background & gate) open with an unknown program while mine is labeled as opening with blender. They are both however .EDF files, same as yours. Not sure if this has any effect or not.

[deontelopez]

followed the directions to a T, even retrying multiple times and cant get the test track to show up in game. any help?

[AphaBravo]

i cant run the .bat files it says windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. you may not have the appropriate permissions.
please help

[bmocaby]

Everything works up until I delete the files and run the trh.bat and map.bat. the erased folders never come back in my test track folder.
