reverse patch gp3 2000 to original gp3

I have a long term dream to reverse patch gp3 2000 back to the original 1998 gp3, this way the improved features such as long replay and debris collisions will be part of the original gp3.

Unfortunately i have never embarked on a project like this before so I don't know what I'm doing. Can the original gp3 track files be slotted back in to gp3 2000 somehow? Are they slot specific? I don't want the magic data to be affected in any way.

I found gp3 2000 editors on the emacs website, [emacf1.emacberry.com]
Are these the only extant editors or will I need something more?

Hi,

you can use every gp3/2k track in both variations, only have to convert/insert magicdata into the track.
Look for 2 converters:
- gp3-2k -> gp3
- gp3 -> gp3-2k
and use them to your needs. Maybe find them in our downloadsection or have a look at Roberto Scandura´s page.

If you have no magicdata for a specific track (magicdata is very important and changes many things when driving a track) you can try to use magicdata from some other track, but be warned: You sure have to adopt the data to fit for the track (fuel, speed,...)

Good luck!

Thanks pirx, I found the magic data converter. Does this mean that the tracks are not slot specific?

Also its interesting that gp3 and gp3-2000 are different enough that they need different magic data and editors. Does anyone know the difference between them?

You can use every track in every slot if you use GPxPatch! - If not, it´s getting complicated. I see no reason not to use it, even if you wanna play the original game. It makes things muuuch more easier.

The difference between gp3 and gp3-2k magicdata is something you can find out by yourself when you have a look at the content of the files - use a texteditor..

OK thanks pirx I'll try my best and see how I go

If you use my 1998 Megapatch you will effectively have what you are looking for.
The 1998 season (that came with orginal GP3) is fully patched inside GP3 Season 2000 version with all the benefits that brings.
You can download here:
MEGAPATCHES inc F1 1998

Thanks elio you're a legend. Can't wait to try it out, love Gp3-2000

I am so pleased that you are pleased. There are 30 more Megapaches to try. All the ones from 1994 onwards are based within GP3 2000 as that works best for pitcrews with re-fuelling coming in that year.

Hi, not sure what are you aiming to do ? didn't catch if you want convert the patches for GP3 2k as GP3 113 patches, or getting the original GP3 patches and convert them to GP3-2k?

Anyway. GP3 2K , under wood, is more similar to GP4 than GP3.

The advantage for GP3 2K is you can make patches easly , without carsets editor, cause with the GPxPatch and file of Season (have a look the megapatches based on GP3-2k and or GP3 Universe megapatch), you can manage liveries path files (different liveries per each driver in a team) and performance/driver names, all circuits for all 17 slots to use, by the text files. Have a look to GPxPatch documentation.

Something you cannot do easly will be the debris contacts in GP3. Despite there is also a tool can get long replay in original GP3 , transforming the GP3.exe in GP3v.exe (
control with keys during replay, [ ] ; ' ), but this has some little bug with no perfect magic dataed track, and sometimes with variable weather it doesn't work properly.

I think the only mode to get the debris contacts in original GP3 is to change the exe file in assembly. The author of GPXPatch may know how to do that.

Hey brother what I want is to take the original 1998 GP3 and patch it into GP3-2000. I don't want the 1998 magic data or performance values to be manipulated at all, I want the exact original gp3 game in gp3-2000 which will give the benefit of long replay and debris collisions.

I used gp3 video before but it causes bugs, in my experience it changed reality and made strange things happen. its still a good tool but nowhere near as smooth as the gp3-2000 replay function. That's the main reason why I want to do it.

I'll try elio's megapatch first hopefully that's what I want

I see. (I think you may not achieve that at least for the 17 slots for the tracks instead of 16).
But the easy way to do that, just download the gp3universe mod (it's based on GP3-2k) and export the 98 year. And that's all.

OK thanks pippozzo I'll try it along with elios megapatch. Hopefully it works, I don't care about having an extra track that's no problem

Elio´s megapatch is exactly what you are looking for - stunning work!!!

in canada tutti i piloti dopo il pit stop escono di strada? qualcuno ha una segnalazione simile?

they maybe slip over maple syrup ?
what s matter that with this post? is it something happens in some specific mod? which version of gp3? when its happening? give us some context.
Sorry we are doing hundreds of mods/circuits/season packeges , it's hard to understand were are you.

Enzo stai parlando della simulazione di base? Non mi è mai successo una roba del genere però fin adesso non ho corso con molte modifiche al sim di base. Forse sarà propizio stabilire un nuovo discussione nel foro se non c'entra proprio con questa tematica specifica
