brakelight bug

Hi to all,

lately I lost my brakelight/backfire function. It only works in the rain anymore. I really don't know which settings I must have changed unknowingly. Any idea which *.ini file could be the source of that annoying failure?
Thanks in advance for any helpful hint!

Best wishes
Karl

Just had a closer look at the problem: Even in wet conditions there's only the backfire visible but not the brake light. So it seems to be a rear light bug. As far as I remember I never had to set the parameters of the rearlight.ini when the brakelight worked in the past... Actually I can't imagine how to find the correct positions of the lights for lots of different cars anyway.
Still waiting for any help!

Strange!!! Could it be that I'm the only one who had this problem???

Open the shape in the gp4 builder, go to the rear_light object, open the tweaker configuration for the rear lights, and copy the X and Y position in the ini.file. However, you have to invert the positions, the X in the gp4 builder will be the Y in the ini. file and the same for the Y axis which will be the X. Also check if the number of rear ambient light (1-4) matches of the number of rearlights the cars have.
And of course, am assuming that the alpha channels of the rearlight texture is there.

Many thanks for your attempt to help!
Unfortunately it didn't work.
Apart from this it doesn't seem logic to me that a feature that works well in the rain (brakelight and backfire)*) shouldn't work in dry conditions all at once...
I remember that I once read about a way to suppress this feature in wet races but I forgot where and when it was - perhaps somebody knows?

*) Recently I tried another new build mod and to my surprise the brakelight came to life...
