Can be specified using the key PathXX under the [PerfManager] section in gpxset.ini, where XX is the track number, and must contain the path of the file, which can be relative to the GPx directory. Enable under the same section must be set to 1.

Check out the 2013 gp4 central mod v3 or the 2006 mod from gp4db, they both use individual perf files so you can use those as examples to help you.

I think your problem is that you have put the perf files in the Patch folder but you haven't written the correct path in the gpxset.ini file

I'm downloading the 2013 to see.
at the moment this is my situation:



GpXSet:

[PerfManager]
Enable=1
Path=
Path01=gpxpdata\performance_albertpark.txt
Path02=gpxpdata\performance_interlagos.txt
Path03=gpxpdata\performance_buenosaires.txt
Path04=gpxpdata\performance_imola.txt
Path05=gpxpdata\performance_monaco.txt
Path06=gpxpdata\performance_catalunya.txt
Path07=gpxpdata\performance_montreal.txt
Path08=gpxpdata\performance_magnycours.txt
Path09=gpxpdata\performance_silverstone.txt
Path10=gpxpdata\performance_hockenheim.txt
Path11=gpxpdata\performance_hungaroring.txt
Path12=gpxpdata\performance_spafrancorchamps.txt
Path13=gpxpdata\performance_monza.txt
Path14=gpxpdata\performance_spielberg.txt
Path15=gpxpdata\performance_nurburgring.txt
Path16=gpxpdata\performance_suzuka.txt
Path17=gpxpdata\performance_jerez.txt

but still didn't work..

Well it wouldn't work, because your files are in a folder called Patch but your gpxset.ini is pointing to a folder called gpxpdata.

You have to write the path of the file correctly, then it will work.

i think the folder is correct because when i go in gp4 i see the 1997 driver name, so it load the performance.
the problem is that loads always the same file (the first alphabetically)that is in the folder.

i have have try to change the name of the folder, but nothing change

---

Move all of the perf files from Data\Patch to the Data\GPxPatch folder and try it again, I think it will work that way.

i have try that. if i move all the performance file in Data\GPxPatch and keep the gpxset like the one in the first post, when i go in the game no performance file are loading, and i see all the 2001 driver name...

If I'm correct you have two GPSAVES folders in your Grand Prix 4 directory : first one in CAPS, the other one spelling "Gpsaves" at the end of the Grand Prix 4 directory.
You're probably pointing to the wrong one.

No, just one folder

Yeh but if you actually load a race you will see the proper names.

You need to add one of your performance files to the path= line (at the moment in your gpxset.ini file this line is blank), then the names will also show in the menu.

[PerfManager]
Enable=1
Path=gpxpdata\performance_buenosaires.txt
Path01=gpxpdata\performance_albertpark.txt
Path02=gpxpdata\performance_interlagos.txt
Path03=gpxpdata\performance_buenosaires.txt
Path04=gpxpdata\performance_imola.txt
Path05=gpxpdata\performance_monaco.txt
Path06=gpxpdata\performance_catalunya.txt

Path15=gpxpdata\performance_nurburgring.txt
Path16=gpxpdata\performance_suzuka.txt
Path17=gpxpdata\performance_jerez.txt

now the problem is that in every race i have the performance "performance_buenosaires.txt", even if i load melbourne or monza...

didn't see that.. so what i have to do?

Try changing the first line from:
Path=gpxpdata\performance_buenosaires.txt

to:
Path=gpxpdata\csmperf.txt

I've got some mods that have that first line and it seems to work a treat. Hopefully it will for you too.

try, if i write this, when i go in game i see the original 2001 name and performance...

From what I know, this is how this all works:

Let's say this is your gpxset.ini of the Data\GpxPatch folder

[PerfManager]
Enable			=1
Path			=gpxpdata\Generic.txt
Path01			=gpxpdata\Melbourne.txt
Path02			=gpxpdata\Sepang.txt
Path03			=gpxpdata\Interlagos.txt
Path04			=gpxpdata\Imola.txt
Path05			=gpxpdata\Barcelona.txt
Path06			=gpxpdata\A1Ring.txt
Path07			=gpxpdata\Monaco.txt
Path08			=gpxpdata\Montreal.txt
Path09			=gpxpdata\Nürburgring.txt
Path10			=gpxpdata\Silverstone.txt
Path11			=gpxpdata\MagnyCours.txt
Path12			=gpxpdata\Hockenheim.txt
Path13			=gpxpdata\Hungaroring.txt
Path14			=gpxpdata\Spa.txt
Path15			=gpxpdata\Monza.txt
Path16			=gpxpdata\Indianapolis.txt
Path17			=gpxpdata\Suzuka.txt

This line is used for the ingame driver selection menu and the prerace grid lineup

Path			=gpxpdata\Generic.txt

If you've selected Round 1 in the CSM menu, you'll have the Melbourne.txt used when you drive. But you'll see the names of the Generic.txt in the ingame driver selection menu and the grid lineup.
So when there are driver changes during the season, you'll have wrong names if you do it as described above.



This is how I set up my mods so that everything works fine:

All performance files are located in the Data\Performance folder. The swap.ini thus has to have this line included:

[SwapFolder]
...
Folder2		=Performance,gpxpdata
...

The gpxset.ini in the Data\GpxPatch folder looks like the one above.

Then I have a gpxset.txt in the Data\Files\Merge folder, which only contains this:

[PerfManager]
Path		=gpxpdata\%trackname%.txt

To get the two gpxset.inis merged when starting the mod, your MergeINI.lst in the Settings folder has to have this line:

Files\Merge\gpxset.txt,gpxpdata\gpxset.ini

This way you'll have the perf file of in the CSM menu selected track used for the ingame driver menu and grid lineup.
You have to pay attention that the names of the performance files are equal to the tracknames in the globalvars.ini.
E.g. if your globalvars.ini says this

[trackname]
Allowchange		=1
Name			=Grand Prix of ...
Name Icon		=Files\Icons\gp2.ico
VarCount		=17
Var1			=Albert Park
...

but your perfomance file is called Melbourne.txt, it won't work!


Hope I could help you with this.
