Not sure, i just tried aswell and same message (complete).

After reading this post i decided to do some testing. As far as i can tell the track converter combined with the bitmap in the folder creates a way file and the tracks are way files, so i am guessing that you can create your own tracks from bitmaps.

I've sent Kalypso and email asking how it works. I tested it out to no avail/

Right, I have no idea if this is correct but I'm making an educated guess. The track converter only runs if there is a modtrack.bmp in the folder. It takes the bmp and converts it into a .way file. Looking at the bitmap it seems the shade of red might determine the speed at that section of track. Taking a look at current .way files doesn't reveal any patterns where you would expect strings of similar numbers for straights. This may be to a straiht not being 'straight' across the file but at an angle but I digress. You can take the modtrack.way file and rename it to a current track ie. Bahrain.way (saving the original first, of course). I tried this but didn't see a different track in the overview but didn't go onto the track. I can't see how it works if it doesn't do anything and I can't figure out how to change circuit direction.

What about taking tracks from RTML and converting them to way files?

Did you look in Pole Position 2010\GFX\TRACKS seems that this is where the info for the tracks is, however it requires a hex editor and i can't work those damned things. I also tried converting a track, i found that you first need to make your BMP image then rename the file to mod_track then use the converter. I tried to make the Melbourne track since its not anything like the real track in PP2010. I did a test run and my driver was out on track but not out on track and the track image was the same as the original. Seems there is more to this converter then just a simple bmp image.

I fear that looking at the track files with a hex editor is just a giant mess of numbers. Not even 8bit numbers (0-254) neither. Unless Kalypso release the software and compiler they used it looks nigh on impossible.

Maybe over at the RTML site some modders will release somethings there or the German forum here.

The German Forum seems particularly quiet. Have left a message on their answer machine. Doesn't look like there's a mod for the German game. If there isn't I think we can convert ours. There's a guy (or gal) on both called blimy who may help us out with German translation if the game is in German.

Shouldn't be too difficult.
