Players please test these 7 cars for me.

I have finishe all LOD 0 carshapes and textures , and tested it today , it looks exciting but I have a great problem , with the textures . I remembered that the last time I had this problem is on my Benetton B201 but I solved it by TEXResizer , however , this time I can't ... I don't know why ... if anyone can help me , lots of thanks !

The nose of toyota seems too thin so i'll fix it , and i'll do some LODs for the rest 6 cars.The mclaren is the same as the one to release formely.

Here is the pack [www.hanggao.net]

with WADInstaller , in 2003 order.

but what is the texture-problem precisely??

lod problem ! there is not the _ between lod and 0 , lod0 instead of lod_0 , so they don't overwrite exept mclaren
ciao

I install the pack, and I only have a trouble with Jaguar...



... and with steering wheel positions...



The rest of the cars looks good:









With Cameditor I can change the steering wheel positions for all cars, but not for each team. How can I do it?.

All cars looks good in high cuality textures, but not in med-16 bit.

@ Viper , ok i tested the cars Renault , McLaren , Toyota , Ferrari , , i didnt test the Williams, or the Sauber yet....

I installed them after renaming the files to suit and i run default GP4 order with Toyota in Prost Slot

All the cars look great with texture and shape however i agree the Toyota nose from T-cam is a little too narrow but i think the MP4/17d is fine , going by the all the cars from T-cam as this is how i drive from the Renault is a little too wide if you go even by the screen shots above^^^^^^
Apart from that they are fine , now you just need to lower lods and lower textures as my P3 450 cant handle so many cars so high but they run well at 90 to 110 PO for me.

Well done for fixing up so many projects at one time , a request for the release tho in the Zip or RAR can you have the files there for manual install also instead of just the EXE in other cars, i just like to manage my wads carefully and keep unused files out,

Cheers
Keep it up Viper and Friends Outstanding work

Refuse to Lose

After about half an hour figuring out that i had to rename the lods...... yeah looks fab.

Just a few things, im running it in 16bit textures. The ferrari on the rear wing, theres a small triangle thats constantly lighter than everything else. If you want, i can email a screenie to you. On the front wishbones of the williams, there are some white and blue marks, unless im really unobservant of the real car. Theres no jag in that pack, so i havent seen it yet. The toyota, well i sort of agree with the above comments. Yeah, just imo the front wings too low, and the rear wings too high. otherwise i feel its the best toyota out. saubers got a really fat nose..... just cant decide between this one, wais or accari&co's, sauber for 2 slots . The ferrari seems to have the rollover bar and rear wing moved and its taking me a little time to get used to, still think the engine cover needs to be chunkier.

Hope thats fair, since you asked for suggestions, Think its amazing really, hope your exams went alright

Can someone post a pic with McLaren T-cam?

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Ferrari car 1 has right hand side barge boards missing,most car textures go crazy when looking from a different car,i suppose this is your texture problem viper.BAR is almost perfect,just missing a piece of mapping on the right hand side inside front wing support(can see black in a lot of it instead of white).no textures going crazy on this BAR shape.

forget that response about the missing barge board on ferrari,the car had just crashed in the game and lost it,on the williams how come the helmet position is so far foward compard to the release2 version,do you start again from scratch.i know you can change these positions with gp4tweaker but as i am using track specific wads i like to use all releases of carshapes as the season evolves.

The only "problem" I could notice it that the toyota color looks very...pink. I think it should have a slightly more... dark color (red)

Really perfect Mclaren wai.Great textures viper.But I have a small doubt, does the steering wheel need position tweaking?

Viper, I am having a problem wih ur renault.I renamed all the lod files to benetton lod and then, I replaced in the cars.wad.Since I use the original gp4 order.Then, I renamed the lod_0 files to all lod_1,2,3,4 files.So I have all lods as lod_0 files for both cars.I packed the wad with the appropriate tex and in game, I selected alonso at spain circuit.the game began without any crahses but ingame my renault when selected became a jaguar, even the shape was a jaguar shape including textures.I selected another infront of me on the grid and my car then became a renault.So the prob is that when I select the car it is a jaguar, when I view it from another car it is a renault.

PS:: Can u please include a option in ur final version to install in the original gp4 order like
Ferrari in ferrari
mclaren in mclaren
williams in williams
renault in benetton
sauber in sauber
toyota in prost


Cheers

Emm.. let me have some explainations please , first , the carshape file name is not releated to the real name in cars.wad and so there's no LODs problem if you install them with WADInstaller.
The texture problem is that when I view Ferraris and Williamses from TV-View , the farther car or both of the cars , the textures are mixed up , it seems that the game doesn't downsampled the textures ... I don't know why this is happening ...
And third , there's some scale work to do with the toyota , and I may need to choose another better color for that car..although the color is picked form the official website of toyota.
And forth , no need to tweak the stwheel of mclaren , the scale of the car is all correct.
And fifth , the nose of the sauber isn't wrong .... i have compared it from photos to the carshape..and it's correct..you mean nosecone or the nose near the cockpit??
the last , i don't know the problem of jaguar , on my computer no problem with renault and jaguar , but it's in 2003 order on my computer...

Please viper, include the option in final version to have it in the original gp4 order.

Ferrari in ferrari
mclaren in mclaren
williams in williams
renault in benetton
sauber in sauber

b-tone

I second aquarius_varun opinion to include the cars in original GP4 order.
Why...

Because all my tracks from Ricardo Lampert are running in original order and just the fact that it is a bit of pain in the back side because it also means we would have to rename helmets and pitcrews alike.

It would just be easier that's all...Hope can you help Viper.
