TUTORIAL Build your FIRST track - BASIC GUIDE

I decided to see If the simplest level (consisting only from textured plane) can open properly. Turns out, it can't. I still cant see the object, but also when the oditor is opening the file notification pops up "error found scaling on node root node". Is that the reason why my scaling is messed? I have done some reading and it looks like converting to fbx can change it without my ingerention (at least that's what I understood from what people said). If it is so, how can I fix it?

damn, I had this issue a while back in 3dmax. but that is you problem , scaling.

"I THINK" its to do with your origin point and to do with the boundary box of the object which is different in 3dmax to blender. cant help more than that right now. what this means effectively is there is an issue in how you are making the objects.

Ok, I'll try to move points of origin to geometry center, or single point in space. I don't know if that can fix anything but... I have no better idea. Also, having problem with scaling, I'm still struggling with materials. All objects are invisible , but I managed to assign a texture to one of them I was able to see it, but it was oversized, and texture was black and white. In the material menu pretty much everything was pink (I was told that pink = error). So I'm facing two problems and both are hard to solve without fixing the other one (I cant size and arrange objects if I cant see them, etc)

Hey
After a short break I managed to fix the size. I exported it from blender in 0.01 scale and now it's at least close to how big the map should be (the road is about 25 meters wide now, it used to be like 1000 times bigger).
I am also able to see the textures in editor (I adjusted the specularity and other parameters), but they have no color, only shades of grey. I am not able to send fbx, I think this site does not allow this kind of file format.

I wanted to play my map in AC (the textures still have no color, but at least I can see them) just to see if it works. I saved the kn5 and created the folder structure (ai folder is empty, while data and ui are borrowed from other maps). In game menu I can see the map thumbnail, but after choosing it I get notification "map not found". What may be the reason?

make file name same as folder name, you have a "1" in file name. and check titles in the cfg and text files, theres a json file too.

I fixed the file names, now I don't get the notification anymore. In map selection I can find my map by the preview image, but it does not display it's name - it shows the name of the map from which files were borrowed instead. Does it mean the game thinks it's other map and looks in wrong location or smth? When I choose my map it begins to load, screen goes black for a moment and I'm being returned to menu. By titles do you mean file names? Or their content (to replace original track name with my track name)? Folders "ai" and "skins" are empty, heres what's inside "ui" and "data"

I cant open, neither send json file. Is it possible the flaw is there? If it is, should I replace it with json file from other map? Or will it screw things even more?

Currently I'm using files from modded track downloaded from internet. Would It be better, if I used files from official tracks (I have used mod, beacuse there's smaller amount of files in folders).

by titles I mean file names. the main kn5 file you title as the main folder title. and that goes in the json file. all you have to do is look for the anomalies in the text files.

the problem you have with the naming in the game is a problem. it shouldn't say the old track name. it should say your new track name. the json file give the ingame title

earlier I was asking for you to send the whole folder for the track to me. and I will make it work. but you need to find somewhere to upload it too.

Ok, thank You very much!
I don't know if this information is valuable, but when i opened json file through google drive i saw that it contains the name of the other track, not mine. Should I try to replace the names and download back to my PC? More likely you'll find problem somewere else, that's just the only possible cause I have found
