Interesting. I'm not sure what in 24H2 would cause 3ds max installation to be messed up now. But yeah running via virtual machine may unfortunately only be the next option I can think of for you if installations on windows 11 is no longer working. I have no idea if this installation is just...

So does the installation not complete essentially? I am on Windows 11 Pro 23H2 and had it installed for a long time. I do see raysat_3dsmax8server is in my task manager when 3ds max is launched. So I ended the task and 3ds still worked. Then I closed 3ds and went into my services and disabled...

Where are your game files? Is it in a admin protected C drive?

Thats great to hear :)

You cannot add or remove any elements from a layout file.

No, you cannot add or remove any categories, they will either crash the game or not be recognized as new additions.

Back in my early days of track making before I had my own site I got hosted on NR2k3TRacks.com two of my first tracks, Cornfield Raceway and Freeway SuperSpeedway.Was a really great site where I downloaded a ton of tracks that I still have stored on my hard drives to this day.

I don't think custom fonts can be added or it crashes the game. Unless you have a way to recreate the original format the game uses but not sure.

I always take a long hiatus from NR2003 (currently been on one for a few months now), also why I designed my series to not rely on time really so whenever I come back it just continues right where it left off. I always come back though, I just don't force myself to keep racing or making NR2003...

Yeah for sizing you may have needed to scale it up in 3ds max 10x or 100x depending on what scale 3dsimed3 had exported it as. As for PAS vs psg. PAS is the file format exported, .psg is a text file renamed to .psg (papyrus script) which includes to the code you compile with a PAS to make a...

Yeah I've not tried those before so not sure. Only done state switch version for my 3dos.

3DSimEdED3 will not be able to properly export those type of 3dos. It triples the vert count and also strips a 3do from all its scripting. You'd need to use make3do and a psg script from the original source files for the pit boxes.

I've never had an issue with exporting a 3do with animations. However the method I've always used for track objects is in my psg script I have each frame listed along with the 3do associated with it (each frame being a different 3do).

I'd say try anything you can with trial and error, thats usually what I do when I run into a roadblock. I've not tried the blender route yet so not able to assist what the error could be.

I'm late to mentioning this but a new tool might be coming to NR2003 in the future: This will make offline racing so much more dynamic with the AI being able to move around the racing groove more but also as the race progresses they can get more aggressive like real life.

Yeah you go to Utilities >More... > Polygon Counter a bit down the list I set the budget to 1000 so I can keep track of each model not going over NR2003 limits.

I haven't setup/tried the new blender setup yet so may not be able to assist yet. But if you think its an issue export a 3do with Burnout's format could try reaching out to him and see if its an error with his exporter missing something the scripting uses.

I think it may be due to the model is way over the 1k tris limit, even if you managed to get it in Sandbox this would still surely crash the game. You need to separate each crowd mesh down by 1k or less tris, then can group them together to be 'one' mesh in your script. my test I just kept a...

oh yeah when I mean '3D', in the NR2003 world 3D is essentially just flat planes.

So the empty seats is just a mesh that isn't textured with a crowd, or are we talking about a 3D crowd mesh?
