Anyone interested in testing custom tracks right now (with a broken 1982cart) can try these. An upcoming version of TREdit will fix the carset problem (I hope!).

If you're interested in trying it right now, you need:
1) this broken version of 1982cart: 
https://nirvtek.com/downloads/1982CART. ... mpacted.7z
MD5:781682209c42aeb79f625173abe85123
2) A patched version of ICR2 with at least 128 MB of texture RAM:
(128 MB version)
https://nirvtek.com/downloads/ICR2.128% ... 0Buffer.7z
MD5:0104b3967c0396af1b253d0b63553e2a
3) A version of Dosbox-Rendition or dosbox-staging-Rendition with memsize set to 512 MB (or version 1.0.40 where it's forced to 512 MB always).

You won't need this but, I also have version of ICR2 with up to 768 MB of texture RAM, but that will need the next version of Dosbox.
For these tracks more texture RAM won't help, but in case you're interested in trying it out here's a version of ICR2 with 768 MB of texture heap:
https://nirvtek.com/downloads/ICR2.768% ... 0Buffer.7z
MD5:4f1033cecc84b84d5d354b0de00f2b01
For this you'll need the this (extremely) alpha release of Dosbox-Rendition and/or Dosbox-Staging-Rendition:
https://nirvtek.com/downloads/RReady.Al ... 319.001.7z
MD5: 89e49155ba4e80c093f103af0927cffa
- Forces memsize to 1 GB (1024)
and you'll still need the compacted version of 1982cart (first link, top)

Please let me know if these don't work.

In case anyone would like to do some more testing:

TREdit for converting tracks and carset to a single level MIP:
https://nirvtek.com/downloads/TREdit.20250321.001.7z
MD5: 4eb4d4083a9bcbfa4bb35f199c5a1d15

To use this with an unpacked DAT:
tredit <path to unpacked dat> -reduce -convert <output folder>

The ICR2\Tracks\<trackname>\folder should have everything already there apart from the DAT. Copy and paste the contents of <output folder> (just the MIPS really) to ICR2\Tracks\<trackname> overwriting any existng MIPs.

If the source track or carset is packed into a DAT file:
tredit <path to dat file> -unpack <unpack directory>

First zap the dat file in ICR2\TRACKS (leaving all other files in there), copy the unpacked files folder then do a reduction and paste reduced files over ICR2\Tracks\<trackname> folder.

I've successfully reduced Denver, Indianpolis and Riverside 82 as well as Cars2020 and LOLA 1995. I'll post them in a bit.

TREdit also corrects a bug with MIP file processing. The shrinking/resizing capability might be broken. The explode MIP file function should work correctly for all MIP levels.

Half-mip (smallest half dropped)

Cars2020: https://nirvtek.com/downloads/cars2020. ... onReady.7z
MD5: d19fa0742fae92c68904e99bd4e6952b
LOLA1995: https://nirvtek.com/downloads/LOLA1995. ... onReady.7z
MD5: 9219f4d3fda493008ff6886832f8ee66

Tracks (for these three, both the carset and the track need to shed a few mipmaps. Other tracks like Meadowlands and Nashvill will work with just half-mipped carsets):
Denver: https://nirvtek.com/downloads/denver.Ha ... onReady.7z
MD5: ab20ac3af21ecdaabf038c3afb605e38
Indianpolis: https://nirvtek.com/downloads/Ims92.Hal ... onReady.7z
