Re-Instal and big problems [Fixed]

Hi, i have big problems after instal gp4 at win10.

I installed the game as described in the instructions, everything works so far.
The problem is if I change something in the cars.wad, the vehicles always switch between old and new shapes, there are even shapes that were completely deleted from the cars.wad ?!
I have included a small video where the problem can be seen.

my guess is that when you installed the new cars did you just add lod0 for each car. so when the game seen from a distance swaps to the old shape.
to overcome this either use team editor and use the option for FORCE BEST CARSHAPE under the carshape tab to use lod0 only.
or
add the other lods for each car lod1,lod2 etc along with the tex file hi and without the hi.
hope this makes sence if not come back to us.

Thank you it works!
just a little question, it is better the lod. to copy or to put on the best shape via the team editor?
because I now have an extremely high processor load, but my pc is more than fast enough.

Hi
I am happy that worked for you.
I have used both methods.
If you install lod0 and copy this and change the names to lod1 and lod2 ect you are asking the graphics card to draw a more detailed car from close up to the furthest distance.
this can be less if you run the graphics test within the game and lower the frames per ser to a lower amount maybe 30 ish.

using team editor to force the lod0 only does exactly the same but making the cars.wad smaller helps as it seams GP4 does not like a carswad that is over 1GB in size.

This done by deleting the tex and lod files for the cars that are not being used.

By this i mean sometimes you can install a car maybe call for alfa romeo car_c38_car1_lod_0.gp4 that does not exist in the original cars.wad
So by doing this maybe car_benetton_car1_lod_0.gp4 is now not used so you can delete the lods for this car and also the hi_tex files and the normal tex files.

Before doing this please always back up you cars.wad as it does not like having the jaguar files deleted for some reason as it tends to replaced files it does not like with this car.

hope this helps
regards Munnzy

Thank you,

everything is done

But...two new problems, my slimtex dosent work, and the bigger problem my cpu utilization is after I insert all 11 vehicles in the cars wad at over 5000% ... if the vehicles replace single or not all 11 in the cars wad the utilization is at 10-20% ...

my cars.wad is now 950mb in size.

can this be due to f1graphics?

Hi,
I can't see how f1graphics could have any influence when it's not activated (0 ; f1graphics.cfg controls all settings (default 0))?

I feel huskyman49 has a point lol

-.-! ....XD

Okay...i trie it WITH the confiq XD

doesent change anything...7000% cpu workload...

I wonder how your cars.wad can have 950MB? Hopefully you didn't put all *.tga files into it...?
Could be helpful to send the cars.wad so someone could have a look into it...

Have a sound and successful 2020
Karl

I have no idea, i delete the "old" data and put the new in...the cars are from 2018-2019.

my "other" cars.wad with fantasy cars works perfect. 10%cpu

here the 2019 cars.wad and all cars for it. maybe you find the problem
[www.dropbox.com]

you have still some carshapes and tex files of the original cars in your cars wad. Furthermore there are some tex files from cars, that don't have shapes like the hi_renault tex files and the rs19 tex files.

so i deledet every old tex /shape ...in a new original wad. after them i put the new cars in there, now the cars.wad are 721mb big and the cpu are 4000%

how big is your cars.wad?

My 2019 cars.wad is 571MB. I use 2048x2048 textures. PO between 20 - 40%.

Glenn (Cdn)

haven't installed the new cars yet. But the reason why your cars wad is so big, is that the shapes and tex files are very big. You should downsize all the 22 MB texfiles to 5MB ones

Maybe is this the problem?
1920 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Horizontal Resolution
1080 ; [RELEASE] Game 3D Vertical Resolution

But this is my monitor resolution...

i have no idea why the cpu from the 2019 wad 4000-7000% and the others are 10-15%

My actual biggest *.wad is around 230 MB. Can't see any advantage in 22 MB texfiles... My biggest ones are just around 5 MB, so downsizing (as #quickslick recommends) is advisable...

how can i downsizing the files?

Can you trie it with my cars.wad or with the cars for these wad?

i have now a complete new cars wad. i delete all cars_loads and all tex. files from the cars, put only the cars_load-0 (for car1 and car2)and the tex-files for these cars in the wad and after these...its 700mb big...

PS: Happy new year!

What program do you use for the textures? Photoshop? I'm using Corel PaintShop Pro but have also a free version of Phototshop available.
