Enjoy!

 

[Fatboymart]

v0.8.0.2 is out with a few fixes.

Hello Piddy.

Do I just unpack the patch and copy to BTB folder and allow any changes?

Regards

Martin

 

[Brendon Pywell]

Yes that's right.

Hmm, Racer still crashing with a clean install of Racer and BTB.

Hi Brendon,
I just tried the same track in Racer 0.82 and it does work. There is a new
version (0.85) out now and Ruud has changed to the newton physics engine.
I've looked at the crash info that Racers blackbox outs out (attached) and
it appears to have something to do with a bounding box error. We now need
collision box models for the cars, I don't think track objects require them
though.

Hi Brendon,

If you haven't already, ignore my earlier post re-sinking cars!!

It was my error, I have retraced the error of my ways and all is well!!

"SColNodeEx::Split failed!" error messages

Using the last version (I updated because with BTB0.7.0.4 I got the same problem) I am getting a lot of "SColNodeEx::Split failed!" messages when trying to play an RBR exported track. Export procedure completes without errors but when opening the track this error messages appear line after line on the screen and RBR window closes.

The whole BTB project can be downloaded from:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ojyuwa

 

[nissan man]

Never mind, i finally found it in the help area.

i have a problem with the walls function - specifically editing materials - when you move from shape to materials when editing nothing happens and the buttons at the top overlap. here a screenshot

 

[Alex Kyriak]

I have a 'problem' when exporting the track from BTB to RFactor. Under version 0.7 it took about 20 seconds to export my track, but under version 0.802 it takes about 5 minutes, but it does export eventually! However when then loading it in RFactor the loading times increase from 20 seconds to again about 5 minutes.

It is a very big track. I am on Vista 64-bit home, high-ish spec pc generally. BTB works very well under 0.7, and also works very well under 0.8 apart from the abovementioned problem. Am using 0.7 until I can resolve. May experiment with smaller track to see how it goes through the export process.

 

[blindthing]

please can some1 help - i cant use the walls function anymore as i cant apply materials - pls help i need to finish my mont tremblant project and until i some how get this fixed its on a hold - ps look at my post above for the problem details - thx

i have a problem with the walls function - specifically editing materials - when you move from shape to materials when editing nothing happens and the buttons at the top overlap. View attachment 18101 here a screenshot

Maybe my answer is stupid, but better than nothing. Have you tried to right-click on the part of the wall and then select replace selected?

In BTB 0.8 you right click on the wall section to bring up a popup menu with all the edit materials options.

 

[marcobost]

@ blindthing: right answers above, but REMEMBER!!!:
- into wall windows, material label, YOU MUST SELECT THE 3RD BUTTON "Edit the wall shape"...
- then on 3d track you can use the popup menu with right + left click... you'll see the wall "highlighted"

 

[blindthing]

thanks - can you select the whole wall and not just each side? - also 1 other thing i have forgotten how to move an object up and down ? thx

 

[jay_p_666]

No offence, but, you could also read the manual before posting. You need to hold the Y key then move manually that object with mouse. :wink2:

 

[blindthing]

thanks - manual? i have never seen or heard of a manual for btb so sorry if there is.

 

[chub_pearson]

I think jay_p means the help file. It's available as Help in BTB or you can double click on User Manual.chm in the main BTB folder to read it without running BTB.

The videos on the BTB website are very useful too.

After used Rub Blender tool, I can't edit single poligon... Tool not reset. And I must to restart program, if I want add new materials and others...
In materials pallete mouse scroll not work ...
In material palette, times to times (regularly), from same used Xpack drop out to first named Xpack...

 

[marcobost]

Me too about the "rub blender" tool... same in previous version.

By the way I found another strange issue related to the same tool:
after several modifications to the terrain blending different textures, the "rub blender" stops to work. No idea if it depends from the complexity of the terrain and related objects, but it happens.

Any idea about that?
