kedy89's workthread ::: 2011 mod v2.0 [released]

Anyone else here who has lags when playing this mod? I've prepared an update with low res textures for which I'd need someone to test it, as I want to have a confirmation that it actually eliminates the lags before I release it.

I had huge problems with these 2013 car and helmet textures causing lag mate when I built my own wad, rather than with your mod in particular.

But by reducing the size of the tex's and the quality I got it running a hell of a lot smoother so I think it'd definitely make a difference for your mod if you provided lower textures.

I think it'd make a big difference if modders provided lower lod's too.

F1 2013 Mod Update 3

This update includes standard resolution textures for cars, helmets and tyres. I've added a new variable in the CSM menu, so that now you can choose between high and standard resolution.

After decades of playing and modding GP3 I decided to expand my comp with GP4 and installed your wonderful MOD: And I´m very, very impressed!! everything worx perfect from the start!

BIG THANX to all involved!

@dwapar: I'm definitely no expert regarding panels, but I think the easiest way is to edit the X value in the starsports.ini (Path: YourGP4Installation\GPSAVES\Carsets\F1 2013\Data\GpxPatch\pnl\tvlogos\starsports). Change the line X=1200 to X=850, then it should show up (I hope).

Thank you very much. With standard resolution the mod runs much smoother on my (pretty old) desktop PC. No problems with 1280x1024px res.

Another question: The gpaedia menu (str) files are not yet included though they should be in subfolders 2013a and 2013b of folder GPaedia\Menu as set in the swap.ini file. Is it an oversight or done on purpose?

petrus' gpaedia files

Sorry for the late reply. I did this on purpose, as TSM stopped working when they were included:

I see. You probably did not create the gpaedia menu files for tracklist 2013b with the setting

make_str = 2

I will go into this a little deeper here.
The above error message comes from tsmcore.exe and it's annoying because after it the (new) tracks are not loaded..
TSM checks, if in the "english.str" the first circuits name is "Albert Park".
Here the critical part of tsmcore.exe (text is in unicode):

1...0.0.........*...d.e.t.e.c.t.e.d. .m.e.n.u. .f.i.l.e. .=. ...

In "english.str" the change occurs in line 565, which looks like this for the 2013a tracklist (here [NUL] represents Hex 00, the end-of-string):

If instead of "Albert Park" TSM finds something else like "Austin", the above error message will occur.
The value 2 in GPaediaMakers ini file specification "make_str" forces the circuit name "Albert Park" in the english.str for the first track to avoid that.
There will be no problem, because in the english language the menu display of the circuit is controlled by the "settings.ini" file of the track, e.g.

[Settings]
Name=Austin

To create the correct menu files for gpaedia with GPaediaMaker 1.06 or higher, use an ini file for tracklist 2013b like the following:

;--- gpaedia_2013_ff_mod_kedy89_menu_b.ini ---
;--- GP4 GPaedia Maker configuration file ---

; language variables (0 to 4):
; %ln% ==> en, de, es, fr, it
; %language% ==> English, Deutsch, español, Français, italiano

; gps: language files to create
;     create: yes=1, no=0 (optional, default is 1,0,0,0,0)
gps = 1,1,1,1,1

; define season variable %season%
season=2013

; input path for constant txt files
in_path	= %program_path%\data\

; input path for edited csv and txt files
var_path = %program_path%\%season%mod_kedy89\

; output path for created gps files
out_path = %program_path%\%season%mod_kedy89\GPaedia\Menu\2013b

; Use user defined format files (default = 0)
user_format = 1

; Generate str menu files (default: 0, no menu files created)
; 1: make str files with gp names from track.csv
; 2: like 1, but gp name of track 1 is always "Albert Park"; compatible with CSM using TSM
make_str = 2

; track switches (20=test, 21=none)
sw_track 1=18
sw_track 2=19
sw_track 3=20
sw_track 4to17=21

Oh, sorry. I didn't notice that it was my mistake in the first release because I had made some updates since then that already eliminated it.
Please download the new version 4 of 2013mod_kedy89_gpaedia_and_more for correct gpaedia and menu files.

Right, runs smooth and fast ... with the Tracks of the Track Pack 2012.
Many Thanks for this great mod and the great 2012er Tracks.

@teunieeegp4: I guess you also installed the update by petrus. He changed a variable in the globalvars.ini which caused this. If you only install the parts linked in the first post, this won't happen, and you'll still get the gpaedia update by petrus, as I've also included it.

@alex.kientzl: Thanks, but the 2012 tracks & trackpack aren't made by me. I didn't even know that there is a 2012 trackpack



FYI, the (hopefully) final update will come after the last GP. So far it features
-2013 pitcrews
-some more trackspec cars/textures (Lotus, STR, Mercedes, McLaren, Caterham)
-Marussia by Excalibur
-selectable damage coefficient

The mod will have a CTD after few laps. Here is my log: [miserymg.mi.funpic.de]
I hope anybody can help me. I play the mod with my 2012 tracks or other tracks like the 1994 tracks. But the game has also a CTD.
