Pitboard hack - one of the best!

they're in the .uni .pos .txt .3d .loc .str files in the Idata and fonts folders.
also in the gp4.exe and some wads.

Nuno Espadinha removed the Paused text so might know how to do this.

ok
done it.

i'll upload later.

@ chunter
i got rid of the letters but not the numbers!
i tried using a blank new_steering_wheel_displays.tex but they're still there.

does anybody know tigersharks email?????

My e-mail is in the README, please read it

Anyway, Zjokke what you "found" is not really a bug, as said in the Extra Info.txt, the pitbord.ini contains the following info on the laps:

[Lap]
Enable=1
ShowTotalLaps=0
ShowLapsLeft=1
X=70
Y=302
TextAlpha=1.0

I have chosen ShowLapsLeft because that's realisic, it shows you how many laps you have to do before you FINISH, however in Free Practise this number is unlimited, to fix this you'll have to change:

[Lap]
Enable=1
ShowTotalLaps=0
ShowLapsLeft=1
X=70
Y=302
TextAlpha=1.0

Into:

[Lap]
Enable=1
ShowTotalLaps=1
ShowLapsLeft=0
X=70
Y=302
TextAlpha=1.0

The Board will now show you the total number of laps you've completed.

As for the flags, I am always willing to make one for you, just mail me

Greetz,
Sander

Pit Board is superb! is there away to make it stay on the screen for longer?? say an extra 10 seconds???

i got rid of the letters but not the numbers!

IF u managed to get rid of the letters, and chunter managed to do the numbers, couldnt you combine them?

I had to add my 2 cents!

Individual board for each driver!
positioned ON the pit wall! (nearly)
coloured fonts!
based on McLarens 1995 board!

Very cool!

Yep, looking good B-tone

I've also updated my version of the pitboard!

Where can I find your updated pitboard Tigershark?

I've send it to Niels (one of the webmasters of gp4.gamer.nl ) so it'll be up for download in a short peroid.

I cant find a way to send my file to grandprixgames.org so I'm unable to send it to this site

Now all we need is a nice titty blonde swinging with the board from the pitlane. That'll sure make us give our best to complete each and every lap!

how do you position the board on the pitwall for races like brazil and france when the pits are on the left hand side?

for my one:
try replacing all the X values with about 3-400 less than what they are now.
or:
wait till tomorow and i'll release an update

my Pitboards have some font info missing.
Download the new version from my site:
[www.we-do-design.com]

Or paste this to your gpxdata/fonts.ini

[mclaren95]
Height=20
FaceName=Mañana
InterLineSpacing=-2
Filtering=0
Quality=1.

[gapname]
Height=15
FaceName=Microsoft Sans Serif
InterLineSpacing=-2
Filtering=0
Quality=1.

[mclaren95_2]
Height=10
FaceName=Mañana
InterLineSpacing=-2
Filtering=0
Quality=1.

[gapname_2]
Height=8
FaceName=Microsoft Sans Serif
InterLineSpacing=-2
Filtering=0
Quality=1.

You'll have to have Microsoft Sans Serif (comes with windows) and Mãnana (look in gpxdata/gfx/fonts) installed on your pc.

Thanks
