Slimtex Pitcrew Settings

Ok guys this has got me massively confused. I have been working on the mod to try and get it finished and released for you. Now something seems to be broken, Not sure what the problem is but...

If I try to go into free practice or any session other than race in a non championship race, it gets close to loading and then crashes to desktop.

If I go straight into the race sessions, everything loads and can play the game.

I have no clue on this one and hope we can find a solution..

Many thanks

Tim

mate you need to always take backups when try to edit something.

there was similiar problem for me, game crashed at qualifications. i sould race but not qualify. than i tried my backups part by part to find problem. and i found:

anim.wad

when i change it with backup one, my problem was solved.

you need to find which part has responsible to crash.

if you havent got backups, try to change parts with orginal game files. exmp, change your anime.wad with original anim.wad. if problem not solved, try cars.wad. etc.

good luck with it.

I have backups of course but it seems to be a problem with the engin_x.x files that I have made, not sure how to fix it so i can use them

I'm sure I made the files the right size etc and put them through slimtex but I have no clue what the issue is with them for the crashing each time

I have been thinking that maybe I am using the wrong settings for converting from TGA to TEX in slimtex and maybe that is creating the problem.

Does anyone know the settings for doing this so I can test to see if it works?

If you open an existing working Tex file in slimtex, it will tell you on the right the settings.
So DXT1 (although DXT5 will work also), DDS, Full Transparency and 4 mipmaps

Thank you Fongu will take a look tonight. Fingers crossed cam fix the issue

Nope I tried it and still crashes to desktop when loading any other session other than the race.

Guys I also have this situation with my pitcrews.
So far I haven't found an answer to that.
I've tried "reverse engineering" with the original pitcrews and nothing...

Is it just the qualifying pitcrews for you too Augusto? The race ones are fine and if i use the originals things work but if I use the ones I made GP4 says no and CTD

Yes. Only in qualifying. In racing everything works fine.

Hope we can find a solution for this.. It is sort of detremental to my mod

Totally stumped on this one, even tried saving my pitcrews for qualy on top of the originals and still no joy

Totally have no clue, I have tried 2 different qualifying pitcrew templates and still crashes to desktop.

very odd, have you tried reducing the texture size?

Yep from 1024 to 256 and still have the same problem, tried oggos pitcrew and Renault fans and it is still crashing any session other than race

and that's with a fresh anim.wad?

yes it is with a fresh one. it just doesn't like me i guess. funny as i used them in my 2020 mod at 1024x1024 and it works.. for some reason not having it at all this time

Did you try the method by updating your anim.wad directly using easywad (zaz tools) instead of extracting , updating and repacking with wadupdater?
1- replace the corrupted anim.wad by the original one. Launch the game once and quit.
2- Open your anim.wad with easywad and drag and drop your files.

Yes Arnaud it was a fresh gp4 install and tried both ways using wadupdater and easywad and still no joy
