re-installing gp4, adding cars to cars.wad and the lower parts of 3 teams cars are white?

I know its another white car problem but i've never had this one before. Re-installed gp4, added new cars to the cars.wad and now the cars from 3 teams have the dreaded white look - but only on the base of the car and rear - any ideas and solutions would help. Using windows xp with latest nvidia drivers for graphics card. Haven't changed anything and this problem has never happened before.

did you install the offical patch after main installation ?

no, I've tried to install the patch before but keep getting a directx install problem. I've re-installed the game a few times and use pretty much the same cars each time but this is the first time i've had the white car problem just affecting 3 teams cars and only a certain part of the cars - it has me beat anyway!!

You'll Be missing the texture for carbon fiber, find hi_ carbfd.tex and carbfd.tex from one of your downloads, and copy to your cars wad. You May also need carbon_fongu.tex if you have any of Fongu's cars.

Thanks, I've got the problem sorted out, it was the carbfd.tex files I was misiing

im not sure if im posting this correctly as im new to the forum but as it is another white car problem maybe someone could help...

I have installed each car using easywad aftering exploring the WAD file, each car was working fine until i noticed that one of my toyota's and brawn cars were just appearing white when the other one of each colour was displaying the correct colours no matter what camera i chose

I would just like some clarification on what may be the problem for this of happened, as ive even uninstalled and reinstalled the game but the same problem persists, sorry once again if this post is in the wrong location

A quick response would be appreciated cheers

I have a similar problem, the carbon fibre sections are missing and I have no idea why! Naturally I've tried all the carbon files I can find, but still no luck. Worse thing is, this has happened in the middle of creating a mod, and so half the cars are still original and have white sections! And as far as I recall, the original cars.wad didn't have any carbon fibre sections :S HELP!


P.s. Hi GP_maniac, I know you wanted a quick response but 3 years ain't that bad... :P Do you still have a problem...?

You may need to open the car lod files and see which .tex files are associated with the lod file - there should be a carbon texture with a particular name - if the file is missing from your texture files then you need to name a carbon file exactly as it is shown in gp4builder - that could solve your problem

Nopee, they're associated with carbfd.tex, which I have. :/ Just noticed that a couple of cars don't have the white parts, so I looked at them and they're also associated with the carbfd.tex file, so I don't understand how some can work and some can't!

Appreciate the help though
