But there are more chance you will crash gp4 with a modified track than looking a nice modified effect...
because GP4 doesn't really like we change .dat files and even if 3DEditor seems to respect .dat format, new modified values are mostly unknown for GP4 and might be the cause for crashs.
You can't say i havn't warn you...(as i also put warnings on my site and in the gp4form...hope it will be quite enough).

So these new version bring .bin and .dat editing, offering a new way to edit them.
I finally didn't release more than the gp4form cause i'd be able to implement near all functions (appart 2 datas but which are greyed in the tool).

Anyhow, .dat editing as to be seen as a Test feature cause in most of the cases, you will surely have troubles in the game and i strongly suggest Win9x users not using it for .dat editing cause when XP can hang, Win9x might crash.

Well, this time i will ask you to report me all you will see wrong (i know i will have more than i wish, but i need it too :)). All your recommendations, tests, studies or else will then be debate and checked to fullfill 3DEditor features.

Here is a list of what is perfectly working:
- Camera/Distance from track
- Camera/Height
- 0xB4 and 0xB5 cmds can be seen easily in game (cars are avoiding part of the track if their size is reduced).
That's few : /

Here is a list of what i tested and doesn't seem to work:
- Sector/Slope don't have expected effect (all cars are rotated !)
- Sector curve give fools trajectories
That's few too : /

Anyhow, have a good time testing and hope you won't encounter too much back to desktop crashs :)

A tiny shot as usual:

Laurent,

0xAD is to define the main gate collider's height.
0xF5 is to define the colliders on both right and left side.
0xF7 is to define flags for both sides.
0xF6 is to define sector's position.
0xF0 is to define sector's orientation.

All these commands always defined for every sectors. Some of them are grouped, such as:

0xB4, 0xB5, and 0xAD are one group (main sector's attributes)
0xF5 and 0xF7 are one group (current side sector's attributes)
0xF6 and 0xF0 are one group (current sector's pos/orient, relative to initial position/orientation defined in the track header).

Hope this help.
And as usual, a very great job. Hope you sleep well now. :)




In reality, doesn't matter who's right but most important is who's left.

Very nice. Thank you Madman :)
But I'm not sleeping cause
1- It's too damn hot here (about 35°C)
2- It's only 16:00 and i won't sleep before 1- 2 hours in the morning whatever my 3DEditor last release :)

I will add and test your discoveries this afternoon, thanks again.

Yeah I heard about that in France and Germany. Even I heard BundesLiga (the premier Germany's Soccer league) had plan to move every matches to evening due to God damn hot there. :)

I'm working in well ventilated, air conditioned rooms so I can't feel damn hot summer attack like you guys. <grin>

btw; Jon, why Mr. P now look so fat? :)

About download difficulties, when you see the little window, after clicking the download link...just clic in the little window and hit F5 one or 2 times and it will be refreshed.

About 3DEditor, i just found Kerb behaviour, can be on left, right or both sides anywhere on the track.

Any other crash, GP4, Windows, or Paint is not supported by me :)
