Red Planet 4.12 · plans drawn from RPL4.RES

Every track,
seen from above

There are no track maps in the game's files — the console had pictures of them and those pictures did not survive. But the game draws one every race: the map screen in the pod renders the track from above. These plans are that same drawing, reconstructed outside the game — the same outlines, from the same placements, straight down.

18 tracks: 9 shipped in the 4.10 arcade cabinets, 2 added in 4.11, 7 built by the community afterwards. Each plan follows NavDisplay::DrawStatic: for every placement in the map's instance stream, look up that model's GaugeImage — a small set of outlines in world units, the same ones the pod's map screen draws — and lay it down rotated and positioned. A placement whose model has no gauge image is skipped here exactly as the map screen skips it, which is why a card can say fewer placements carry map art than the track contains.

So the walls are the canyon walls and the chambers are real chambers, but there is still no driving surface: the map draws what lines the route, never the tarmac. Extent and relief are the span of the drawn outlines in world units, so a long thin plan is a point-to-point run and a squat one a circuit or an arena. Tracks marked NOT IN THE MENU exist in the resource file but the setup screen does not offer them.
