Re: Track Editor not working......

Hi Jai

I tried it now on my Windows box (Windows 7 64 bit), here it is a bit 
more tricky, if you just hit the menu entry in the TORCS menu the track 
editor will (depending on your system settings and account type) not work.

There are 2 ways to make it work:
1. Run trackeditor as Administrator
2. Run trackeditor as user, move the files manually, then run trackgen 
as administrator (in this scenario the track length calculation will not 
work IIRC)

1:
On Windows 7 you have to run it as administrator, so do this:
- Hit the Windows start button
- In the search box type in "cmd"
- In the presented box right click on cmd.exe and select "run as 
administrator", a cmd windows opens up
- cd into the TORCS diectory "cd "Program Files (x86)\torcs""
- run from here trackeditor.bat
- When creating a new track just select one on the presented choices 
under "browse", otherwise trackgen will not work

2.
- Start track editor from menu, create the new project somewhere where 
you have write permissions
- Save the xml there (you managed to do this, you have the files)
- Copy the directory and contents to "Program Files (x86)\torcs\tracks\road"
- Open a cmd as in 1. and cd to "Program Files (x86)\torcs"
- Run "trackgen -c road -n Jai2" (without scenery) or "trackgen -c road 
-n Jai2 -a" (with scenery).

Beware "trackgen" only works when the files are in the TORCS 
installation directory, so your "Jai2" directory has to be in the 
torcs/tracks/road directory.

Best regards

Bernhard
