GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

Hmm, I see... the matter is that verge height is relative to banks to sector line... Actually, I don't quite see how you can do this but by exporting sectors data, doing some maths and compute the differential verge height for each sector.
Not very handy, huh ?
I believe I have to add this to the to-do list :p

"Apply track banking to verges", sounds nice

is there an easy way to made all to shadow, or i have to select every object and click on add-shadows and then rotate and move it?

TomMK, I have tweaked this manually previously it's a bit of work. To get the verge exactly level to the track is going to take some trial and error until you have the exact number that is relative to the bank height.


Laurent, I wonder if tilting the wall would be easier to do or even an advantage for future editable fields.

OK thanks for the answers guys. I have some maths to do!

@Prblanco : i didn't think about it that way but it is a possibility

@littleone90: You guessed right. But usualy you don't have that many objects needing shadows. Even on Melbourne where I wanted to cast most shadows, only one straight was really covered with tree shadows and there were only a few other ones all round the track.

@Auscain: i can't remind with who I already discussed this before. Matter is not in GP4Builder because I can tilt walls to follow banking but ingame, physics engine will still use vertical walls...

okok thanks Lo2k
one problem that i have is that: i have create some vertical surface and apply the texture on it, in gp4builder looks ok:

but if i go ingame i see that:

but if i look back on the track i can see the surface that i have create..


don't understand what to do...

Search for the "Invert Faces Creation" command.

perfect, it works, thank you!

Now the explanation to why it works (I was lazy yesterday, sorry )

Each face of every object has a "front" side and a "back" side. In your first screenshot, you were viewing both Airtel boards from the back side. By default, faces can't be seen from the back side, that's why you couldn't see the boards. "Invert Faces Creation" switches a face's front and back sides.

Some faces, like armco barriers and catch fences for example, use a two-sided material that allows them to be seen from the back side as well. But these are special cases.

Paulo - so how do you make a two-sided material?

If you have selected an object you can change materials. Creating a material you can choose for editing materials.

that was me i believe......i wondered if the wall of the dat file could be banked to follow a oval wall i was working on at the time...

were i can find some object to put on a track in gp4builder? (cars, helicopter, trucks ecc..) or how can i import them from another track? =)

Laurent, creating kerbs seems a bit bugged when you choose for Add > Kerbs. The values regarding height & distances are doubled when the kerbs are created.

@Turbo Lover : Yep, I discovered that in a post 1 or 2 days ago. I believe I heard about it before but it was a long time ago and it slipped out of scope. I added it to my to-do list though.

someone know how to fit this?
