It is possible zu change the Color of Text for the plank wear?

No, but I can make it a gpxcinfo item.

Now, here is my GPxPatch review:

+ Great trackmap-feature! Unbelievable great work . Only negative thing: The trackmap is a little big by default. I decreased the size to 200 instead of 320 .

+ At last the tyre- and plankwear works again. In the versions 4.00 - 4.11 it was somehow broken.

+ Track lengths up to 20 km possible .

- As in all former GPxPatch versions the GPxSound-slot 'LoadTrack=....wav' in the soundset.ini still doesn't work. It would be nice if we can get it working .


As a result we have a great update here! As you know, SDI, the hardcore modders will allways have further wishes on more improvements, cheers and thank you so much !

Oh yes, that would be nice.

What does it mean? My english is not so good to understand that.

Which languages do you speak ?

With GPxPatch you can make the wear of your plank and tyres visible at the bottom. Sadly in the GPxPatch versions 4.00 to 4.11 this feature didn't work correctly. But luckily now everything is alright again.

Im a little bit late but it's never late to say "thank you"! Thanks for all the job you had done. Also thanks for the GP2Lap source (Im GP2 modder). Well I can't do anything with it but it's a step forward in the right direction.

The old classics will be always better than the newest games.

Ok, I can make it a bit smaller.

This is weird. I didn't change this in 4.00, and neither in 4.20.
In what way was it 'broken'?

> + Track lengths up to 20 km possible .

It's the theoretical limit based on number of segments. The practical limit may be less, e.g. due to vertex buffer limits. We (me and addie) are still investigating this.

Somehow in GP3-2000 and above the sound doesn't work in the menu's. In GP4 the .dat is loaded right after you press 'drive', before the weather menu is shown.
I can take another look at this for GP4 because it has been 10 years ago I took a look at this code.

Yes, I believe, you didn't change anything, but somehow the wear was not shown for me in all sessions, except the races, althought these are my lines the GPxlap.ini:

[Setup]
Enable=1
DisplayDuration=3000
Font=courier
PitSetupMenuOn=1
ShowWear=1
ShowWearInRace=1
ShowWearInQualify=1

But luckily everything works fine again, so I don't care anymore about this issue .

I drive GP4 with keyboard and is it possible to change the ControlSteerRight in Ä and ControlSteerLeft in Ö ?

yes from gpxpatch...edit key binds :

Game_ControlSteerRight=.
Game_ControlSteerLeft=,

But i need Ä and Ö, not . and ,

By the way if we talk about keyboard...when will be possible fine drive with it (without steering help). I know that GP4 Tweak can disable it but the result is horrible! That is my biggest wish for the whole game (if we can achieve control like rFactor or F1C).

The old classics will be always better than the newest games.

Try this, I think ' and ; map to Ä and Ö on a German keyboard layout:

Game_ControlSteerRight='
Game_ControlSteerLeft=;

I try this, but it doesn't work. If i changed this like yours i have "Ü" and "."

Can you try to run virtkeys.exe and tell me the numbers it gives for the Ä and Ö keys.

You can also use those numbers in keys.ini by the way.

Edit: I just saw I've explained in the documentation to use this tool to get the virtual key number. Both tools are similar.

I've managed to get this to work now.
I also managed to fix the 3D engine and pit siren sounds for GP4
