wad-dat files problem

Hello,

I use to change slot some of my favorite tracks but sometimes it happens strange things. For example with Fuji track i converted slot suzuka (original slot) to slot1, slot 2, slot 3 and so on but see below what happens each time. However, I do as usal, see step by step. Can anyone tell me if he already encountered this problem ? Many thanks.

Try what has been recommended in the thread below.

Use the track manager in gpxpatch and there is no need to rename anything.

Open S1CT02.DAT in GP4 Builder, click on "Track Structure" there and point there to the wad-file you need for this track, in this case sepang2001.wad. Save S1CT02.DAT.

try the following: get cmagic4, open it and load the .dat file of the track you want to move to another slot. Click on "Edit Gp4 Info". In the pop up you should see an entry called "prefix" which will most likely have the value "suzuka2001". click on the box containing the value to select/highlight it and press "delete" at the bottom of the window. Save, close cmagic and try again in gp4. This might do the trick. This happens when the author links the .wad to the .dat to bypass the standard gp4 assignment of dat to wad.

So cool, guys, now it works very well. Thank so much to you.

You have to delete "sepang2001" at "Wad Name" in the extended game settings in GP4Builder. That's the easiest way to fix that problem, I also had this issue some weeks ago.
