Some doubts about GP4 modding...

Hi guys, I wanna ask you something about GP4 modding which I don't know, here's the list:

1. If I want to create my own mod and I wanna insert in it the Ferrari from the 2007 mod and the Red Bull from the 2010 mod, which files (textures and all the other files related to the cars) do I have to take from these mods? (it's an example)

2. And if I want to take the helmets of Barrichello and Vettel? (another example)

3. Do I have to change the position files? If yes, how can I do that?

4. If I want that the Ferrari has the Bridgestone tyres and the Red Bull has the Michelin tyres, what do I have to do?

5. How can I change the arms colours?

That's it! Maybe I'll have some other doubts during the modding and I could ask something other. But now, thanks in advance for the replies!

Ciao!

You don't should have any doubts, the things you asked are all possible, I know how to do that though I'm not a great modder. I will explain it to you tomorrow (no time now), or somebody else will do.

You can change a mod to whatever you want for personal use. However, should you wish to release it, the right thing to do is ask permission for use of textures etc.

It's just a personal mod, I'll not release that. In reality, these aren't doubts but real questions since I don't know anything about GP4 modding, but if you'll answer them, I think everything will be clear.

The car files is generally in "Data\Cars" folder inside the mod. You sometimes need files from "Data\Cars\Shared" or "Data\Cars\Commom"

The arms colour coordenates are in "Data\Tweaker\gp4tweak_data\armscolours.ini"

Yes but, if the car files are in a .wad file?

Then you would use a tool like EasyWad to look into your Cars.Wad & exchange which ever file you wanted to exchange

Yes, I know it. But I don't know which files I have to take.

Ciao!

I'm sorry, I will explain it to you soon!

It's ok, take your time bro!

Ciao!

Yeah, tomorrow I think.

So, before I can start explaining, I think it would be senseful to make sure if you have some tools for GP4 on your pc, because otherwise you won't be able to do the changes you want.
Those are: -WadUpdater 4.2
-GPxPatch 4.30a
-TeamEditor 3.5

Please google and download them, they are easy to find.

Then please tell me what the first change is you want to do, it will be easier for me to explain then.

Ok, I have all of them...

Well, you can reply to my first question and, if you can, to all of them!

Ciao!

4. If I want that the Ferrari has the Bridgestone tyres and the Red Bull has the Michelin tyres, what do I have to do?

5. How can I change the arms colours?

For this two, just use Team editor. You can change tyres there and arm colours.

For modding a car, and where cars are located and stuffs like that, use this: [www.youtube.com]

+extract cars.wad with wadupdater, and start exploring what extracted folders contain. It will be the easiest way to learn...you will see helmets there and cars, etc.

Ok, thank you! Now I know what I have to do!

The only thing I still don't know is: where can I find the position file in a Csm mod?

Ciao!

3.Position files is in TeamEditor as well,
2.You need to download that helmets somewhere and put it into the wad, tell me when it's so far, I will explain it to you more exactly then.
1.There you also have to change some textures, you have to put the textures you want into the extracted wad and create a new one then.
4.and 5.For the tyres and arm colours you can also use a performance file with GPxPatch, there you have to put a certain section in it, for tyres, arm colours and rim colours.

I hope I could help and when you have further questions just ask!

Can I take position files with Team Editor from a CSM Mod?

Thanks for the replies!

Ciao!

Oh, I don't know if CSM uses the settings in TeamEditor, I think it uses only its own settings when launching it but I don't know exactly.

Ok thanks! If someone knows where to take the position files from the CSM mods, please reply me!

Ciao!

the positions in a CSM mod are stored in the *.ini in the Data\Tweaker\gp4tweak_data directory.
the gp4tweak.ini in the Data\Tweaker directory determines which tweak is enabled (=1) or not (=0).
