Here's a brief tutorial:

An SK race has 2 files:
.race file and .sk file

The format for the .race file looks like this:
Code: ("MSR-SK.race") [Select]
switch No Extra Information
115 210 2 1 1 0 14
11 1 16
614 614
-2730.5515 198.8277 17.7266 258.8708
-2730.5515 198.8277 17.7266 258.8708
-2704.0852 171.0001 3.8026
-2706.4489 15.4893 3.8074
-2672.1635 -70.5869 3.8078
-2072.0861 -70.0749 34.7946
-2007.3145 -10.7509 34.1683
-1951.4783 345.2478 33.1301
-1820.2784 503.7692 28.1800
-1847.4680 606.0377 34.6383
-1691.1619 731.2337 22.7546
-1555.8347 964.8956 6.8881
-1678.0496 1186.9477 17.3264
-2001.4462 1176.0629 44.9197
-2143.3830 1126.4025 70.2794
-2143.2392 783.0396 69.0394
-2206.6081 731.7432 49.2044
-2261.0722 646.1558 48.9197
-2271.6750 508.4194 34.6385
-2343.5275 457.7749 32.2450
-2338.5803 309.3127 38.6040
-2706.4914 157.8556 3.9200

To break it down:
Code: [Select]
115 210 2 1 1 0 14
11 1 16
614 614

In the 1st line from left to right:
- Waiting time before race starts, in seconds. (Usually I make this 55 seconds, just enough for all the players to get a car and drive to the grid. In this case its 115 seconds (MSR) so players have extra time to tune their cars.)
- Total time of race, in seconds.
- Weather, time, CP size, etc. etc. <-- Not sure with the order but what I do when I make an SK race is that 1st I enter buildmode and do a normal race then I just get the .race file and edit it. :)

In the 2nd line from left to right:
- Special 1. (IMPORTANT: ALWAYS SET THIS TO 11 IF YOU WANNA MAKE AN SK RACE, because this is the value of an SK race.)
- Special 2. (IMPORTANT: ALWAYS SET THIS TO 1 IF YOU WANNA MAKE AN SK RACE, because this is the value of a hardcore race.)
- Special 3. (IMPORTANT: ALWAYS SET THIS TO 16 IF YOU WANNA MAKE AN SK RACE, because this value is a bug fix for SK mode. :))

3rd line is the vehicle IDs but this line is unnecessary since the vehicle coords and IDs will be on the .sk file.

NOTE: If you check the grid coords, both lines are the same. THIS IS IMPORTANT. You must ALWAYS set the 2 grid coords in the same spot. :)

Code: [Select]
-2730.5515 198.8277 17.7266 258.8708
-2730.5515 198.8277 17.7266 258.8708

Okay, unto the .sk file:

Code: ("MSR-SK.sk") [Select]
561 -2713.8591 190.6315 3.9507 268.8719

560 -2639.1631 271.2752 4.0337 180.1937
560 -2691.6025 231.7369 4.0404 128.9442

The format is simple:
Code: [Select]
vehicleid x y z angle
NOTE: I always make 40-50 car spawns, so everyone in the server won't run out of cars. :)

Some TIPZ to help you:
- Usually what I do when I make an SK race, 1st I make a normal race in buildmode then just get the .race file and edit it with SK settings. :)
- The .sk file must be made from scratch so you must enter debug and do /save. :)

Hope this helps. ;)

I agree, we have one race from f4lcon were the cars are around the whole track, but some are placed in the middle of the road lol :L

Please try to limit total car spawns from 50-60 cars 'cause spawning so many cars while the server is running might be mouth-meltingly awesome but is also server-meltingly harmful

You could have the maximum 700 vehicles,it would keep reading the lines from the .sk untill the end.

But :
The server can have anywhere between 0 and 650 vehicles spawned when the sk race is launched. So if the race is started when current spawned vehicles is over 600, it would only spawn 100 of them.

Sk is limited and very buggy. Old SK worked well because it was basic-one-world layout. With the virtual worlds, we get that gay ghostmode bug.  :)

but it looks like the script ignores color1 and color2, and uses -1 -1
