Is it possible to change wheel sizes in GP4?
Posted by metal-mike
I've got a car, where I want to make the wheels a bit smaller than the F1 standard. Is it possible, and if so how can I do it? Cheers for your help!

Short answer: No
Long answer: Yes, and its a apin in the arse!
Do you want the LCD screen? If not, that helps, cos thats a pain in the arse
Open the steering wheel textures. If u view the alpha layer u'll notice theres black and white :p. One colour (i think black) means the area is transparent, the white area is what u'll see in game.
therefore, edit the alpha layer to fit ur steering wheel shape and it should change!
You could alternativly build a new shape in ZM. I belive this is what others do?

i think he means wheel what touch the road 
Yeah, I meant the four wheels, that touch the ground, and turn round and all that...

what did u say what diiiiiiiiiiiiiiid u saaaaaaaaaaaaaaay 
Cheers for the reply Ellis, could you tell me how you changed the size, and I take it you can move them so they don't float using the cam editor?

yeah. Erm, i duno how the size is changed exactly. I suppose building a new wheel (or converting one possibly) then scaling it because GP4s wheels dont display in ZM.
The postion can be moved, thats right
I say try and convert a wheel then scale it, then move the its positon

u can change the gfx size but the physicle wheel will stay the same size

U can make new tyre shapes. Wai made us one for GT mod

you can do anything you want with wheels in gp4 but keep in mind that theres some fixed issues.
the original gp4 wheels has 2 mesh levels (or layer) so ZM cannot read it entirely and shown only the level 2,so the wheel appear without tread.
you can design an entirely new wheel in zm, any size you want, the ony thing is that it must be rounded and centered in the axis. you can design a 3d rim or a flat one and map it on a texture
just look at some wheels maked by viper (for 3drims) or caelen (2drims) for some inspiration on the constuction
the fixed issues are that the tyre tread must be mapped on the michelin_tread_0_right_0.tex and the tyre spokes must be mapped on wheel_michelin_0.tex
gp4 uses these textures names as reference and it is changed on the fly when it runs
with the textures names needed by the car (i.e. for ferrari it changes both names michelin with bridgestone then read the tex)
the wheels has 4 lod levels from 0 to 3 and must be named car_wheel_front_lod_X.gp4 for the front and car_wheel_rear_lod_X.gp4 for rear
if you design a 3drim you need to scale it for other lods or there is a big performance issue.
if you use 3drim you must change in your f1graphics.cfg the following line
0 rotate wheels via textures
bye
