camera flashes

How the hell do i turn them on?
I've got this in m y config,

1 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0)
2 ; [MAIN VIEW] Draw crowds (0 => off, 1 => on, 2 => on and animating)
1 ; [MAIN VIEW] Draw crowd camera flashes

But none are showing up, anybody got a config in wich they DO appear (not even on purpose), dont care about what your settings are, as long as the flashes work, i need them for something.

i think they are ran out of film rolls héhé, tell them to use digital camera!
your settings seems to be correct, strange!

But LO2k will probabely now the solution héhé

hehe, he's on a 2 week holiday, and i was kinda hoping that somebody who does have the flashes posted his f1graphics.cfg here. aren't they working with you BB? :+

I have the same setting and it work.

I have only one line who change for me.

0 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0)

--------------------------------------------

hm, doesn't help me, could you upload your cfg file for me somewhere duffer, as i think there is a setting wich interferes with the settings, but dont know wich one.

could u email me that cfg without the flashes? GP4 hates anything extra, such as crowds, cameras etc... (4 fps )

tnx duffer, allthough it didn't show them at first, but when i changed ingame settings they showed up

@harjinator, well, my cfg is not the way to go, i only use it for testing stuff, so it's 640x480 in a window, with some strange settings, not recomended for normal play

Lol, sure I have the answer and sharing cfg file won't help you as all you have to do once you set it right in the cfg file (like you do on the first post) is to enable arcade overlay in game graphics options

Lol. Never lets us down do you Lo2k
Is there no way to have the flashes without the tacky gp4 style arcade overlays?

got it to work anyways now btw, where do yopu want me to post my litle list for ya Lo2k? (it's not that big btw, i thought there wopuld be a new version before you left

@MAverick, I'd still like to give it a go. I use 640*400 anyhows, and I can soon get it to run full screen rather than a window...

Is there anyway of over riding those ridiculous arcade overlays and just having the camera flashes left in?


I've known about this pretty much since GP4 first came out & always hoped that someone be able to allow the camera flashes to work with out the arcade overlays


Could some one do this? with all the fancy editors that allow this & that to be changed i would have thought it would be possible

well, if you have enough time, you can do it if you want Same way as i once made a blue blinking pitlight. just take one of the flags textures, and put the flash textures on it, (i believe they are in the "recources" dir in the wad) you can then place the flashes anywhere you want :+ (expect to be working a few hours on this )

never used the overlays but cant you edit the alphas to make them not show?

now why would you want to do that?

I'd always wondered why I only ever had camera flashes the first day I played GP4.

Can't some brain box here make this possible?

well, you can, i had another idea, just make the Arcade overlays in the wad 100% blank, that way you only have the flashes when you put overlays on
Thats not too much work.

@Go_Alesi: because, as me, you unchecked arcade overlays as soon as you saw them :p

Solution to remove arcade track and counter is to make their alpha layer all black to make them fully transparent (and thus invisible).
I can't remind the exact name of files but I believe they are in GP4folder\maps\resources and maybe in tga format already.
