GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

If you changed your lagoon texture from DXT5 with full transparency to DXT1 with semi transparency, it might be fixed...

The only other case I got such front-back mix was when I set this line to 8 in f1graphics.cfg :
7 ; Set 0 => no 8bit alpha (all stencil - yuck) 8 => all 8bit alpha (no stencil - nice) else 1-7 as cut off

Thanks for your reply Laurent!
I tried both of those actions without success unfortunately. DXT1 and semi transparency solved the issue, but created another one in that my lagoon had white parts that were supposed to be transparent. (The lagoon texture is mapped to a larger oval object, with black around the outside of the lagoon texture so the "unused" part of the oval is invisible)

However, I tried A8R8G8B8 with semi transparency, and it worked! Hurray!

Great !
And the greatest is to see someone using my dials and position bar ! :D

Hello!
Where do I edit the speed trap?
I want to change the location of measurement of speed. Thanks.

Click on the pit lane sector where you want to add the command: start= 96 cmd – stop=97 or go to Tools - Track Flags List click on the cmd to move it and use GP4 Tweaker for speed adjuments.

OK, but I want to learn how to edit speed measurement on the track, that is, the maximum speed (Not in the pitlane)

In the GPxPatch GPxCInfo Info items add Speed. Edit filters and Edit rangers. I’ve never actually tried working on this before but that’s where it’s at. There is a measurement for % after start or m... Good luck ReadMe

I have been entertaining the idea of building a Position Tower for Bathurst with this tool.

I actually asked SDI that very question, but I got no answer. I'll try to bump it and hopefully I'll get something

Took some time but i revisited this issue. Lo2k suggested to have a look at the pitlane verges (command should be present + nonzero width) but I think I can rule this out as well. I made sure the command is present and played around with the values for width a bit but the problem remains (various tracks, e.g. the post 2002 hockenheim, shanghai, newer versions of montreal). Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

A quick question for the masters of tracks.
I know that objects can only be displayed for the race event. Does the reverse possible?
Meaning the possibility to not display objects ONLY for the race...
Thanks by advance guys

If I'm not mistaken, CROWD_ objects do so. Those that end with _FULL are displayed only in qualifying and race, those without are displayed only in practice sessions.

I'm thinking of beginning work on a Formula E track soon... but am I right in saying that the pit lane must be in the same location as the start/finish straight?

You're right. First and last pitlane sector have to cross the start/finish-line .

Hello!
I'm working on .col file and is almost perfect, only the last part (last track) cars are without a shadow, in other parts of the track is OK, how to fix?

Hi! Problem solved!

How to position the car into the garage? The cars in the pits in Sakhir are almost out of the garage....thanks

AYRTON SENNA FOREVER!

Car garage rest position is set in Magic data (distance from track and orientation, items 91, 92 and 93 in GP4 Builder)

hello partners! I have a problem when entering the pits on race, the car is as locked and can not do anything mechanical. not how to solve this problem

@Maxi82: did you set F7 commands with right width >0 for all of the garage sectors ?
