Just sharing the track

[Luisbuscus]

First of all I took the image from this forum http://www.trackhq.com/forums/f107/wild-horse-pass-motorsports-park-info-55/ (all the picture credits go to the maker) and the build was made with http://elsaico.github.io/automation-track-builder/ Thanks to ElSaico and 07CobaltGirl

If someone could help out testing it out The help is appreciated

I opened the game and it did not appear in the custom tracks :/

This is my first try at a track

Is both the track file and the track image inside a folder named '(Your Track Name)', and is that folder inside Documents/Automation/Tracks? That could be why it's not appearing.

Actually, does the track.lua file include a line which reads:

  Code:

Track = {
        Name = "Suzy Track v2",
        --Track Image Info
        --Track Image must be 1280 x 720
        --Start Position on the Image x,y from Top Left
        Start = { 945, 95 },

If track name is not completed (or if it shares a name with another track, eg. Name = "Example Track"), the name will not show up in the list at all, regardless of the name of the folder it is in. This is where the game reads the track name for the list. This is probably where your problem is. Check the name listed inside the lua file.

EDIT:
Also, I see your attachment is named track2.lua, which also will not work. After inspection of your lua file, not sure how the game will deal with special characters in the text string:

  Code:

Track = {
        Name = "1/4 Mile in the East track",
        --Track Image Info
        --Track Image must be 1280 x 720
        --Start Position on the Image x,y from Top Left
        Start = { 430, 120 },

Either you named it in a foreign character set which didn't translate into my English character set, or your track's name may be invalid.

EDIT2:

This is a quarter mile straight?

The fact that it is named "track2.lua" is most likely the problem. If it is named this in the actual track folder, the track will not show up. It must be named "track.lua".

You're doing wrong for some points.
First, Your track image file MUST BE .PNG format, not .jpg, .gif or any other formats.
Second, your track image size is wrong, it must be resized to 1280 x 720 pixels.
Finally both your lua file and image file should be named "Track.lua" and "Track.png" anything else won't work.
Try fix these problems, and I'm pretty sure your track will work!

Yes it is a 1/4 mile straigh
