ESSENTIAL OILS aren't essential unless you're an engine, a gearbox or a twat

Detailed explanation:
1-create a new folder anywhere
2-put every helmet tex files in it
3-download wadupdater (if needed, click on my sig pic below)
4-run wadupdater
5-choose the created folder as input files
6- choose your cars.wad as wad where to export file
7- click on "Update selected wad"
8- copy drivers 9,10 and 21 tex files in GP4'sfolder\cars

That's all.

Greets.

thanks lo2k


i may have been doing something wrong but i followed your instructions and although the helmets changed (different drivers had the wrong helmets e.g montoya had coulthards helmet etc) the faces were not visible and i still had the blacked out versions that come with the mega 2003 patch from gp.it website.

the helmet update that i;m trying to get to work are these

and are availble from [www.f1helmets.tk]

is there something wrong with what i'm trying to do to get the faces imported?

also how do i import new steering wheels for t-cam and cockpit? do i have to uncompress the cars.wad file or something?

i htink the black or face helmet has to do with the helmet shape in the cars.wad.
put the original shapes back in the wad for faces, but the faces versions look a bit unreal.

uncompressing the cars.wad is one way, and in my opinion the best. once you get used to doing it its easy.

with mont/coulthard swapped you'll need to unwad your cars.wad and rename some files. (driver3_1.tex and driver5_1.tex or something for those tw0)

Where can i get the original helmet shape?

In the cars.wad on the CD.

It's only after we've lost everything, that we are free to do anything.

can someone explain how i get the original helmet shapes back into my gp4 folder please?


i really don't have a clue how to use this wad updater
