Can anyone help? Crashing Problems [SOLVED]

Alright guys I need some help. I have been making my new mod and been working to get positions correct for the cars using team editor. When trying to load into a track to test things have worked it loads super slowly and when getting close to the end of loading GP4 crashes to desktop.

I have tried my cars wad in a fresh install and when trying to load a track it instantly crashes to desktop.

Can anyone help me figure this out so I can test my work and continue making my fantasy 2023 mod?

Many thanks in advance...

Tim

Posting an error log might help.

Looks like you might have installed the individual helmet mod incorrectly.

I'm certainly not an expert on that patch because I've only installed it once and very briefly, but:

When you load that patch into GP4 it tells it to look for the helmet model associated with each of the 11 car model names, and if it can't find one it tries to use the one from the default car, which in your case looks to be a Jaguar - and if it can't find that, it crashes.

In my case I installed the helmet mod and edited the Ferrari helmet, but when I ran the game it crashed and I got lots of mclaren errors in the log (because in my case, the default car model was a McLaren. So I created the correct McLaren helmet model (ie CAR_MCLAREN_Helm00.gp4 or whatever it was) and when I ran the game again, the Ferrari had it's own helmet but all the other cars had the McLaren one, because it had somewhere else to fall back on when it couldn't find the others.

Make sense?

The quick fix temporary might be to make 10 copies of the original default car_helmet_00.gp4 and rename them CAR_MCLAREN_Helm00.gp4, CAR_WILLIAMS_Helm00.gp4 etc.

Then, if that works (and I not guaranteeing that it will, but it's logical), then you can start editing or replacing them with the helmets of your choice, but keeping the names you made.

I think so...I'll take a look, thanks

Tried to fix this and now it crashes at the beginning of loading a track, I may have to rethink on wether to use the individual tweak as I can't seem to get it right at all.

Looks like you've created a shed load of problems for yourself now.

Hard to know where to begin, but I'd salvage what I could and start again if I were you; one thing at a time...

This error is missing wheels, are you using the individual helmet and wheel tweak or just the individual helmet tweak?

Just helmets at the moment.

I started again from scratch with a fresh install and working bit by bit. No crashes so far at the moment
