Second KTPT

Issue

Usually, the start position of a track is placed very near to the finish line (CKPT lap counter). But some tracks use special start positions (starting boxes) far away from the finish line and sometimes with different direction. In this case, the finish line of the minimap is drawn at the wrong place.

Solution

LE-CODE provides a solution for this issue. It a second KTPT at index #1 with player_id -1 is defined, it is used as alternative draw position for the finish line. The point at offset #0 is still used for start position.

If you setup a second KTPT, search the relevant lap counter (section CKPT) and place the KTPT at the checkpoint line. The direction (y-rotation) of the KTPT is important.

Wiimm edited 15 tracks to insert a second KTPT. If you update such track and don't change the finish line, please copy the second KTPT (leave it unchanged).

Solution using Wiimms SZS Tools

As of v2.03 of Wiimms SZS Tools, command »wkmpt KTPT« analyses the track and prints a recommendation for the second KTPT in 2 formats: As complete KTPT record, and as option --ktpt2:

Recommendation based on nearest ENPT #32:
  Recommended KTPT record:   1  -82892.672     152.510   50314.219  0  33.52 0  -1 0
  Recommended patch option:     --ktpt2=-82893,50314

The option can be used to insert or replace the second KTPT:

wszst patch --ktpt2=-82893,50314 FILE.szs

Rotation and Y-position (height) are determined automatically. The position is adjusted.
