to caelen:this is something that i found (as i promised before) about your last previous topic of moving main cockpit steering-wheel position. i found coordinates location for both dash and steering-wheel position (displayed in main primary cockpit view) as stored in gp4.exe file as follows (values location are file offset relative):
0x0006FDE4: x-axis of dash panel shape. original value: 0xBBC49BA6 (-0.0060)
0x0006FDF4: y-axis of dash panel shape. original value: 0x3D4CCCCD ( 0.0500)
0x0006FDFE: z-axis of dash panel shape. original value: 0xBBA3D70A (-0.0050)
0x0006FE08: x-axis of steerwheel shape. original value: 0xBBC49BA6 (-0.0060)
0x0006FE12: y-axis of steerwheel shape. original value: 0x3CF5C28F ( 0.0300)
0x0006FE1C: z-axis of steerwheel shape. original value: 0xBEE66666 (-0.4500)
please take precaution when modifying these values since the value location is located in gp4 code section. any mistakes when changes at location or values may crash your gp4 game.
for additional information, dash panel is panel shape used to store panel indicators not located in steering-wheel such as dificulty level lights, car damage status, suggested gear, etc. the dash panel shape is defined as cockpit_dash.gp4 in wad file. in addition, steering-wheel is a shape defined in wad file as cockpit_wheel.gp4.
please note, coordinates values for both dash and steering-wheel are global for all cars. i have plan to separate these locations per-car basis into future gp4tweaker version (or shouldn't i?). feel free to modify or create your own tool for this purpose. don't hesitate to ask me if you have got problem to edit these values.
to ellis:now you have one additional clue for your GTA cars projects, e.g. moving the steering-wheel to the left and dash panel to the right (or vice versa).

In reality, doesn't matter who's
right but most important is who's
left.
