How you can rotate walls and other "cannot rotate" stuff?

Oh man, people should learn to read

It stands clearly in my track design guide that you can rotate tiles when starting the editor with "-ar 1" parameter. After this you can rotate all tiles but not bridges diagonally (which is bad).

Because the pre-calculated shadows. If you rotate the tiles the shadows are in wrong place if you're not careful about that.

so if i use this short command everything about the shadows will be mesed up?

No, they will rotate with the tiles ofcourse but if you rotate them, they are not "right" (in wrong angle).

When i rotate my iteams other than 0, 45, 90 and so on, i go to the .trk file and edit, but it takes very long time (and hard to make nice), is there any way to make it 'easy'?

When rotating tiles, just press shift +arrows for a little less rotation and ctrl+arrows for 1Â° rotation.

I think its better to leave this thread just for new tracks

EDIT by Mouse - I have removed this as asked by Jeffrey. I have made an edit so those who responded to the post do not look like fools (responding to a post that is not there).

How so, why not just in the "Post your tracks here" topic?
Edit: that track looks nice btw

Track looks ok, but those diagonal start/finish lines are very bad. Never know which corner is the closest one.

How do u get a Diaginal start it would be verry helpfull for me

-wolf- · Post by **-wolf-** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 9:29 pm

Type startdirection <ur angle u need> in the trk file. right above checkpoints x line.

Mouse · Post by **Mouse** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 10:20 pm

hmmmm

If you type "startdirection" i do not think it will work. "StartDirection" is what must be typed. Some track-maker newbies would come to a problem if they did not know this.

Hengari · Post by **Hengari** » Fri Sep 01, 2006 11:13 pm

Diagonal startdirection is bad. In tight race you might lose even if you come to the finish line first because actually the line is not there where you think it is.

Good point. As you can see in this picture i made, if you drive on the top of the track you will finish faster that if you were to drive on the bottom. If 2 cars were side by side, the one on the top would finish first.

Sure, you have such track in "pu-tracks" folder. It's called Pu_Sahara. You will not see the 45 degree line in the editor, but it will work correct in the race.
