On the third attempt I ifnally got the megapatch downloaded. I downloaded and input the cars.wad. I even made some improvements and made the necessary changes to the F1 graphics.

Only when I tried to play the damn thing did I notice that this has been built on an unpatched version 1.bloody.00. With all the bugs, (for heavens sake, even the menus don't work properly) why oh why would anyone do such an enormous job on the unpatched version. I am furious, cos I spent alot of hours frigging around with this.

Is it possible to patch this with the 9.06 patch? I tried but screwed everything up (theGP4.exe has of couse been edited for the megapatch).
S--t! sh-t! ****! hot

I zipped my whole games directory and stored it somewhere before I installed that patch. Always backup before you do something..

Download the patch, and check the "bug fixes" list. You'll see there are many of them. I also like new cockpit_damage.tex texture, much better than the old one.

No one can prefer the unpatched version. I did a clean install before the patch. My own 2003 version is intact- no problem. It's just that I have spent so much tim e, first downloading (three attempts) and then updating just to discover it is unpatched.

Ok. The rest is quite good. I like the menu videos and the music and the Menuart in general. Some of the cars I have changed.

Is there any chance of the GP4 Italia guys making a GP4.exe and what ever other bits are necessary to convert the Megapatch into a patched version?

I noticed it, too and must say it's a sad thing.

It seems to be done without a cause.

to give the order 2003 you have team there two possibilities are
1 rename all the files
2 modify the sequence of the teams inside the Gp4.exe

we have used the second option, very simple and fast to do. doing it with an any Hexeditor is possible.

Guys,

Have installed MegaPatch on an unpatched version but when I start it up, in practice or quickrace, the pit crew comes out to start the car to my RIGHT, no matter which driver/car I choose. NEVER can I get the car I'm in to be the 'driving' car. Any advice?
