OK...So I've been playing GP3 1.13 and using Steve Young's editor, GPXPatch and a 2001 car shape for many months. This weekend I go to install a new car shape, and kah-blewey, GP3 won't start. I had made a backup of the EXE...so just restored it and tried again. And again. And again.....no dice. After installing a new car-shape, GP3 won't start, period. I tried several different car shapes, all with the same results.
Soooooo, I did this:
Downloaded GP3 1.13 Decripted EXE file (again).
Downloaded the latest GPXPatch.
Downloaded the latest Car-Shape editor.
Deleted and then re-installed my copy of GP (Full install). Ran the 1.13 patch/upgrade. Replaced the EXE with the decrypted EXE.
Now, I can't use either Steve Young's editor, nor change car shapes. GP3 won't even start after an Upload from Steve's editor. Arrgh. The car-shapes still do the same thing. If I do an upload (to GP3) from the car-shape editor, I don't get any errors. However, if I turn around and then do an DOWNload (from GP3) right afterwards, the car editor tells me my GP3.exe isn't decrypted. ??????????
Got any ideas? What am I missing here?? TIA.
