Crashday .cat files of any use?

[SpewBoy]

I looked the field.cat file in the 'Crashday\trkdata\editor' folder with notepad and found a lot of interesting writing. It is not of much use to me but I thought someone may be interested. This is a small portion of what can be found in the file:

Code:

There is also a cp.cat and a dynobj.cat.

I dont know what u want with it, maybe people allready know about them :/ (and edit it for the trackpieces.)

 

[SpewBoy]

  And I thought I made a major discovery lol. So what exactly do the files do?

Oh and hey MICHAEL

dynobj: Gives the names and weight off the dynamic objects. (dont know more about it but think that's all.)
cps: gives the name of the checkpoints. (dont know more about it but I think that's all.)
field: gives the name of the trackpieces. (dont know more about it, 'cuz I didn't tried 2 find it out.)
Hey MICHAEL?

ps: I allready checked all files much time ago

[SpewBoy]

OK thanks,

You used to post on the official forum before it died. Your name was MICHAEL like in you signature. I realized it was you before you changed your signature to the Lambo Cala pic and before you had MICHAEL in your sig.

its very simple, that file is only for the track editor, but its very important too, if u wanna moddiffie it i suggest u to make a backup before, now i explain u a bit over this file:

alley.cfl 2 1 0 $ID trkdata/editor/fields.cat alley.cfl.TrackPiece    <-- this format is for default pieces, its not very interesting... 

Code:

# List for Crashday track editor tile categories
18 # Number of categories

these lines appear in the begining of the file, this says to the track editor the number of categories ( elevated, dirt road, tunnels, tunnels 2...) if u add a new tile or a categorie with new tiles u must change this number or u wont add the new tile with succes.  4 example if u have 12 and add a new tile u put 13

i have 18 because i have added various new categories, u should have over 13 i think, lets continue:

Code:

Next: # CFL file / PositionX / PositionY / Rotation in display
jose test # Name
1 # Objects per category
jm_dirt4sjumper.cfl 5 1 0 test

this is the format of a custom tile:
-"jose test" is the name of categorie, like tunnels and those things

-"jm_dirt4sjumper.cfl" is the name of the cfl file of the new tile, the cfl must be in trkdata/tiles

-"5 1 0" this refers to the position of the piece

- "test" this will be the name of the trackpiece in the track editor


its all 4 now, i hope have helped u

[SpewBoy]

Oh, OK I see now. If you do not add a new category the custom track pieces will appear in the user section.

Thanks,

SpewBoy

[CGjoselas]

mmm, ur are right but only in a part, if u wanna ur trackpiece to be autolisted u must activate that option in the cfl file of that piece, if u know somethings about programing u should know that 0 is false and 1 is true (i think that u know it)

[SpewBoy]

Yes, how do you think I've made my custom cars?
