TNFS_SE to NFS4

[JimDiabolo]

I'm experimenting again with converting from TNFS to NFS4. I tried this years ago, but I couldn't get the objects to work back then. At least they're there now.

I'm thinking about what we can do with the missing tracks—after all, they aren't round courses. One idea is to combine the sections into one large triangular track.

Hallo jim das klingt nach einem guten Plan. Ich zum Beispiel habe noe verstanden wie Ryan t zum Beispiel alle NFS 2 strecken im Jahr 2001 mit Animation konvertieren konnte. Es wäre schon ein Traum wenn man alle NFS 1 strecken perfekt konvertiert hätte für NFS 4. Aber zum Beispiel das Thema Outback von NFS 2 für NFS 4. Da fehlt zum Beispiel die Animation mit dem Schiff was am Start fährt. Das gibt es bei NFS 4 nicht. Das wurde auch nie behoben. Sowas zum Beispiel stresst mich

Wow Jim this is absolutely insane!! I can take care of the sprint tracks working with 1 lap. I know how to do it, but it requires some botchered work, just like JP Racing had to do with his Power Park Drag Strip. What's the most demanding is the tracks to actually get into nfs4 with all their objects and collisions

Haha those textures 🤣👍

NO WAY!!! 
Don't tell us that this is "City1" running in NFS4 we are seeing here! Amazing. It seems like some objects like the lamp poles on the right side are still missing but the majority is right on place. Great work so far!
Since I have never been a fan of "point to point" tracks I would looooove to see the 3 segments combines to one large triangle. But I think that this brings some problems: the segments are quite long so I doubt that we can have all three together within the block limit of NFS4. And since all three segment have separate texmaps and quite different textures (grass to snow on Alpine) that would mean a lot of textures to that track. I hope it will work out. Especially "Alpine 1-3" has always been a favorite of mine.

It's a really bad idea to try to make them be a circuit, due to the points you've mentioned. What would be reasonable is to make them working as actual point 2 point track requiring the game to set 1 lap for the races

So... the Vertigo Ridge and Transtropolis might be followed by smth else👍ah... And I forgot the fabulous Autumn Valley Raceway ❤️

Just the France qfs file.   But it doesn't seem to quite fit.

Yes it's City 1. And it will be more then 300 blocks. I'm now testing a "Merge blocks" function. The selected block is merged with the following one. It works pretty well on straight sections.

Is the version in your video the one where you've merged the blocks or original block length? Is the original block length over 300? Does it work in High Stakes?
