GP4 Builder 2017

Dear Laurent, is there a way to group more than one object together at once? I have found a great texture for my verges and banks, but as my track is 9km, I have over 700 track verge and bank objects, which I would like to have the same mapping. Am I going to have to: A) One by one, edit the mapping of the 700+ objects, (scale u 0.5, v 0.2) or B) group all the objects together, merge all 700+ parts together, then change the mapping for one object?

It repeats the texture every sector, which is too often for the texture I have IMO, repeated textures don't look as good.

Hmm, well, sadly no. As far as I can think about it, I can't figure any easy way to quickly do this kind of thing...

Thanks Laurent!

I'll put on a nice playlist and proceed with the process then, I think I'll go for option A, it'll allow me to randomise it a bit.
I just wanted to make sure before commiting to hours of such work, thanks again!

Thank you for all your hard work over the years!

@salvasirignano : yes, I believe option A is better than grouping everything and applying a global mapping.

@Scampson : Thanks

Lo, is it possible to open a track in GP4 Builder and edit certain sectors in a way that affect performance, i.e. braking/acceleration requirements?

There's some theorycraft behind cc-line (that you can edit in .dat files with GP4Builder) and the way to slice it into sections (using single sectors sections before a curve and such things). I'm not an expert in this though.

Laurent, saving a gp4 file with the 2017 version without any change leads to a crash when loading the track and the gp4 file is also corrupted when you try to open it with the 2015 version.

My Grand Prix 4 Files
I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Hello, Lo2k.

I´m having a weird issue with the new version of gp4 builder... I´m trying to open a helmet shape and the textures aren´t showing - the helmet appears all black, wihtou textures. I tried to rename the textures with no success...
Am I doing something wrong?
