paul ricard 1976

While working on the 1976 paul ricard track, i noticed this ennoying graphical bug.
When approaching the pitlane, the start/finish wall on the right is not visible, but when getting closer to the sf line, it suddenly pops up.
see screenshots below





I already played with the cmds 'view into pitlane' and 'view all pitlane at pit entry', which gives a slightly different result, but its never good.
If anyone could be helpfull, it would be much appreciated.

I know what it is, I've been playing whit it on Le Mans oldies a while back, but I just remember how to solve it right now. Give me a day or two and I'll tell you.

thats ok eric, and if you want the track, just ask.
Thanks

Ok, that's maybe not exactly what I thought at first, but if you have a flag 'Show pit objects through pitwall' somewhere at the beginning of the pitlane entry delete it.
If it doesn't work send me a link and I'll take a look at it this week-end.

I doubt it too, but i'll check anyway later today.

no such cmd is used
link to the track is in your pm.

it has 3 different configurations going from an other pitgarage to lower armcos.
The dat itself is always the same, some mapping may differ in the low armco edit, but nothing major.

thanks for looking.

Ok, I'll see that as I said this week-end

please check, if a command 0xd8 (show pit scenery 2) exists, normally in the last section of the track. If yes, remove it.
This command seems to work wrong in a number of tracks

i already tried that, without improvement. Only by deleting the cmd 'view into pitlane' and 'view all pitlane from entry' the wall shows up ok.
But then the pitlane isn't visible anymore! I can give it a go once more.....


thanks for the reply.

deleting the 'show pit scenery' cmd didn't solve the problem.
I found a compromise by deleting the cmd 'view all pitlane from entry' and changing the distance for 'view into pitlane entrance' from 30 to 11.

Eric, i'll send you this file with a little explanation, you can try to make it better, but don't spend too much of your free time to it.

I was about to say to delete this command (0xd4)
I don't think moving the 'view into pitlane entrance' flag will change anything (but didn't tested it).

What I've found is that the pitlane fence pops up when you physically cross the sector where stands the first pit sector (if it makes sense to someone else).
I've got a couple of ideas to check out but I won't be able to do it before sunday I think.

these 2 cmds where suspicious to me from the start... but this time i was more cautious
And i didn't move the flag ' view into pitlane entrance' only the distance changed from 30 to 11.
This is the distance from 'start pitlane fence' to where the garages begin.

The only problem now is that when entering the pitlane, there is missing a piece of tarmac for a sec.

Anyway, have a look when you can, no need to hurry

the track as it is for now, it will be available in elio's 1976 mod

Hi Dirk.
Will this Paul Ricard track 1976 version for download 2k ?

the track will be available in the 1976mod, and i don't know if that will be a 1.13 or 2K exe.

I'm trying to fix some kinda graphic issue at pit entry, which is related to the track slot, but i can send you the track for evaluation.
btw : it will work for both exe, with 2 MDs included.

When I release the 1976 MegaPatch (December?) it will be in as GP3 1.13. In fact all by MegaPatches older than 1992 will remain in 1.13 as it is a lot easier to work with and as there are not many Belini standard tracks older than 1996 there doesn't feel much point. HOWEVER the 1994 MegaPatch IS in 2k as is wasn't too big a deal to convert 1996 track graphics to 1994. I released a Beta version with some tracks converted (Interlagos, TI Aida, Monaco, Barcelona) but many more to do.

Dirk apology. I thought if he released Paul Ricard in 1976 as a separate circuit!
I'm not looking megapatch!!!!!

Sorry for my English.
