Removing objects from existing tracks (in editor)

[geoslake]

hi

ok, i guess i shouldnt modify existing tracks, but a lot of them come with anti shortcut things (rocks, tires...), which don't make sense to me, as i play with friends most of the time, and driving on grass, sand etc slow you down already.
Those objects are annoying for casual (or not) gamers, as they tend to often hit them, so their car is stopped, almost meaning a lost race immediately.

So, is there a way to delete those objects ?
I can edit the png of course, so they are not there anymore, but we still see the objects, so I need to delete them in track editor.

thanks

It's possible to delete tiles by editing .trk file with text editor. All the lines starting with 'A' are tiles and the numbers next to it are in this order: number of tile (#191 is small grey rock and so on), coordinates of tile, and rotation of tile.

So A 191 834 328 0 would be a rock at (834,328).

Simply check the coordinates and the tile number of the tile you want to delete from track editor, and then search the same tile with text editor and remove the line. After saving .trk file in txt-mode, you should open the track again in track editor and save it. At least with MS Word it should be quite easy to find specific tile by using its search.

I hope this helps.

Remember to rename tracks so that people know they aren't the original ones (and also because that way there won't be version problems).
