Problems in the following Viper's cars

read the thread! Right click on vipers launch application. If you've got WinRar, you'll see the option to "extract files" and just do that into a foldr of your choosing.





....................I quite like this now.

Actually my car.wad jumped from 80mb to 170mb after making a cockpit change. Now it's about 190 mb. Weird!
I had problems with order at first (I have only dl:ed the Toyota, Williams and Mclaren. First I forgot to choose GP4 order for McL. So I had two good looking McLs with Ralf and Juan at the Wheel and two distorted McLs with Kimi and David. Then I fixed it- or so I thought. After installing the Williams I had either 4 williams or 4 McLs. In the end I got the McL in and I reinput an older Williams version. Hav't noticed any graphical disorders, except the usual temporary the first time I started the game after update. Should I try the rest or not? I need some time to PLAY tis game FGS.

At the moment, the only problems I have is that the Toyota screwes up when getting remotley far away from it, and the bloody BAR is mapped differently!!!! >_< Back to the drawing board with the BAR NT car!

Done that before :D

today i got to play on a p4 2.4ghz machine, and i got these cars


Vipers : Ferrari, sauber Toyota, mclaren

and what i can say is I HATE HIS WAD INSTALLER, it somehow managed to install 2 of every car (4 mclarens etc) it was pissing me off

if it was done the manual way it would be ALOT EASIER IMO

Aquarius, delete all the ferrari related files and extract them again and it should work. Mine didn't work for 2 days but I tried it again and it works perfectly now. Don't give up!

you should be able to right click the installer.exe and choose 'extract here' or extraxct to a folder'

then manually install it.

Well having downloaded all the 7 cars and and then added them into the game: I had the usual problems as ppl have previously listed on this and other threads.

However I have now solved the problem and all cars are now working ok. It takes alot of fiddling and you may have to use livery editor - but I do agree that manually inserting your cars into the cars.wad is the best way.

There are faults with the installer of Toyota, BAR, McLaren & Williams - however with time and patience you can fixed these simple faults.

wd to Viper and good luck with your future.

I chose to 'extract here' for all the cars and the only problems I had were with the Ferrari, but now its solved, with no other utilities or changing of files needed.

Finally I am back from my first day in grade 12, yup it was kool!!
Muks_C, I will try the ferrari again.! thanx!

Lets hope someone can fix the mclaren glitching problem becos even though ferrari is my fav car in real world, the mclaren is my favourite in GP4.It looks splendid! So real.......!!

Well about the ferrari, I am now actually trying to do the installation of the car all over again.

Hi Tony,
that was no joke about the car.wad in the cars.wad!
It's true. How on earth did that happen? Anyway, I took it out. Thanks for the advice.

aquarius,try using mclaren texture for sidepod(i think mclaren_2) as an undownsampled one i.e.extract 1024x1024 tga with gp4master and load it into 2,3,4,it might effect your pc performance if using basic 'puta though.

@ Matt,

I'll try that! Thanx! Perhaps u can send me an undownsampled mclaren_2 file

actually forget that,just do the manual extraction from the wad installer and copy and paste mclaren lod_0 to the other lods,this resolves the problem

I´m having with the Viper´s BAR´s (2003 order sauber slot).
One BAR (16) is set to button and is working fine from close angles (delete, page down) or left arrow camera. But the other bar uses the sauber 2003 tex all messed up from close angles or when using the track cams locked at the bar, but when looking from other cars it appears like bar. What exactly do i have to do to solv it?

@ matt,

I actually use lod_0 only for all my cars.All my cars have the lod_0 files renamed to the remaining.

And yes! I tried using only the high res and it didn't solve the problem.

Well, well... after updating all the teams to the 03 season, i´m having problems with the, the both jordan from acciari (a little messing) and with schumacher´s ferrari from viper. I guess that is with 2 or just 1 tex messed and ferrari i guess that just 1.
So please! I ask for help! what lod´s and how should i rename then.
And what´s to program for downsample the tex?
