I'm considering starting to make stages, as I've done some before without putting them on the net, I have however a few questions that I haven't been able to find an answer to here on PCM Daily. I think the Stage-sections is missing some kind of discussion-thread, where you can ask questions. If you wanna ask, you have to make a thread. Oh well, anyway.
1. How do you guys make roundabouts? Whenever I try, I get an error. I place the roads too close to eachother, so they overlap. If I drag them away, it doesn't give me the option to make a roundabout.
2. 3D objects. It should be pretty obvious, but I can't figure out how to rotate a spawned 3D object. Looks kinda stupid with cars, houses etc. all have the same rotation, regardless of how the road is.
3. How to save it. By this, I mean how do I save a multiply stages in a file, forming a stage race. What should they be called, to be ready to use once uploaded/finished? I could ask how to get your own stages into the game, but I think I found such guide elsewhere.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated Edited by Dizzle on 24-09-2011 12:54
Roundabouts look definitely horrible But if you still want to add them, you have to change "offset radius"! 2.00 or 2.50 works in most cases, if I remember right.. and you just need two crossing streets for a roundabout.
3d objects: You can rotate buildings by pressing (and holding) "shift"..
Saving: You can't save two or more Stages within one stage-file! You create a stage-race by making all the stages one by one.. you can of course use one stage-file and then create different routes on it, but it's not possible to export a stage-file with two routes, for example.

Thanks for answering the firsts. Of course, I dont wanna save it as one stage race-file. Just wondered how to contain several stages, making a stage race.
Each stage file is individual. In the DB you have to asign them to a stage race.
For example the Tour de France consists of 21 stage files. But you could use the same files to build a Paris - Nice race and a Dauphine race.
