Hi !!! I just bought GP3 2000 software, and I have a few questions and doubts about it !!!
Here goes !!!
1- Is this game an add-on as it says it is, or is it a full game (meaning, it is gp3, but a new version of it, not an expanion pack) ??? I have this doubt because I can still run the old Gp3.exe, and, ok, there are some changes, like the helmets are different, but running this old exe, the cars are 1998, Willians cars' are still red !!! I mean, if this is an add-on, why Geoff didn't made a more efficient installshield of Gp3 2000 ??? An setup program that would remove what the add-on would not use anymore, like the 1998 carset, or the red signals bitmaps ??? There is a lot of "garbage" in the directory, things are messed up !!!
2- I installed the add-on in the same directory I installed the previous gp3 v 1.13 !!! Since, like I said, there is a lot of files that the add-on do not use anymore, and things are messed up in the directory, lots of garbage, did I made the installation the right way or should I install gp3 2000 in a totally brand new directory ??? (See, this also makes me think if this game is a full game or an add-on) !!!
3- After I installed the game, it says it is gp3 2000 version 2.0 !!! Shouldn't it be version 1.0 and users get the 2.0 update like it was with version 1.13 of original gp3 ???
4- I know there is a decrypted exe for this software over the net, but I always decrypted my version1.13 !!! So, can I still decrypt my own file ??? Is there any softwares to decrypt gp3 2000 files ???
5- If you can explain the above questions to me, then, please help me with gp3-2000 customization !!! I'm totally out of news for this game !!! All I know is that there isn't a gp3edit 2k by smyoung !!!
So, what softwares are you using ??? For carsets, carshapes, etc... I want to know pretty much everything !!! hehe !!!
One last comment, not a question, about gp3 2000 !!! I have sound blaster live and 4 speakers with subwoofer, and gp3 2000 has a new sound system !!! I didn't like it !!! When playing with TV-cam, we can barely hear our own car's sound. It was "replaced" with crowd sound instead, or the other cars, and this feature (new sound system) makes the game too slow, when playing with full-optimized graphics !!! When playing in onboard cams, 2 of them particulary, the engine sound is, I don't know, like, the sound breaks up !!! Like a bad phone call or something !!! I want to know if you people also think this way and if you like me, got back in use "original gp3 sounds" !!!
Hope gp4 and gp5, Geoff uses his brain !!!
Hugs everybody !!!
