    So you tried changing the partConfig line?
    Make sure it's still like "vehicles/sunburst/configName.pc".

    One great tutorial! It was really easy to follow the steps. Thanks! :)

    But now I've reached a temporary limit:
    I want to create a scenario on a user map (Crimson Valley by Ouerbacker). There are no objects (e.g. barriers etc.) in this map. What is the best way to get objects to load with a scenario without causing the mentioned errors?

    Study how official scenarios are made and learn from them :)

    For AI, you surely need a LUA script, else the AI will not know what to do (the police chases scenario do come with LUA Scripts)

    does this mean I actually need to know how to code in LUA or I can just use a tool ingame?

    LUA requires scripting.
    If your plan is to just make another chase scenario, you can just pick the lua file from an official scenario. But you must setup your scenario in the same exact way, or it won't work (means all objects must be named in the same way)

    I'm trying to make a scenario for the Bathurst map, but I am having a weird issue. Not doing anything in the scenario works fine, just to let you know.

    Once I added in the waypoints, and altered the .json accordingly, none of the scenarios show up at all. Only the "download more" option.

    Here's the .json code right now:
    Code:
    [
    {
        "name": "Bathurst Time Trial",
        "description": "See how fast you can get around one of Australia's most famous race tracks!",
        "previews": ["my_first_scenario.jpg"],
        "type": "race",
        "authors": "TheMohawkNinja",
    
        "difficulty": "10",
       
        "vehicles": {
            "scenario_player0": {"playerUsable": true, "startFocus": true },
            "*": {"playerUsable": false},
        },
       
        "whiteListActions": ["default_whitelist_scenario" ],
        "blackListActions": ["default_blacklist_scenario" ],
       
        "lapConfig": ["p1","p2","p3,"p4","p5","p6","p7","p8","p9","p10","p11","p12","p13","p14","p15"],
        "prefabs": ["BathurstTimeTrial"],
        "radiusMultiplierAI": 2
    },
    ]

    Where did you put that file?
    Does the map actually have p1, p2, p3 waypoints in it?

    all the elements of the scenario must match at what there is written in json. the name of the picture, prefab, etc

    Trailing commas are not allowed in JSON. I count 2 (in "vehicles" and the main array). You wrote "p3," p4" instead of "p3", "p4".

    Checking that you actually wrote sensible JSON is not hard. Put some effort in next time.

    I had a feeling it was somewhere in there, given all the quotation marks

    (A) I didn't know tools like that existed, and (B) I would have been looking for a comma in the wrong spot with a bunch of quotations around it with no color-coded text. That's not easy to do manually, or else I would have found it already.

    Is it possibly an obvious solution I'm just to blind to see or has my post been missed?

    Does anyone know? Is this tutorial outdated? I want to follow it to a T but I need to know if it is or not so I can include other updated sources in learning.

    I mean the thingy you have to fill in the json file to get the car into your scenario as a car you drive. I hope you get it now

    Edit : the Player0 or Vehicle0 was it called?
