White car glitch..

I'm pretty sure there have been posts like this alot of times already... and i looked em up, but i still ended up with white cars.. ive done alot of things, deleting or replacing 'hi_' from the textures,
editing graphics in the game, setting everything to high, without result, putting 1 or 0 in increase car texture quality, now, i can see the shapes of it, ofcourse. But it tends to see old textures on it, like a ferrari logo where it shouldnt even belong, or mixed up textures, while everything is placed in order, with the right teamname and number..

Some more information would be useful. Is it a mod? Have you changed the wad? System specs? Have you tried replacing the cars.wad? Screenshot?

When you rename textures with GP4Builder, you need to rename the textures of every lod (0, 1, 2, 3, 4) for each car. Only renaming lod 0 means you are ending up at white textures. Once I had the same problem and we searched for weeks until someone found my mistake. I hope I could help you with this information.

@mortal, yeah i did replace the cars.wad, but that ran fine, until i installed the mod. I cant get CSM to work and all that stuff. I just replaced the textures and the shapes, after i correctly renamed them... Which worked fine in a 2012 mod...

To also notify that, my system specs didnt really matter at that point, as stuff worked fine earlier, till i had to start from scratch cause of messing around with circuits...

@TGF1DRIVER, well, theyre lod0's already, didnt need to rename that.

But yeah... at one moment, the carbonfiber suspension of the wheels came around, saw them with correct textures but, then after messing around with the rest, to see
if i could get the textures of the cars... that dissolved.. sadly. Funny thing is, that the shapes do work. The textures just dont really tend to get their stuff going, like, im gonna post a screenshot at this topic about the problem anytime soon, but for now, ill just describe as, most cars are plain white. some arent, they got textures from the original cars, of the sidepods, at the monocoque of the modcar.
So i'd see a 2013 McLaren, with a 2002sidepodtexture on the nose.

PS, if anyone can get me an extremely detailed guide of CSM on win7, id be so happy.
And is there any place where i can get the GP4tweaker? The one i downloaded wasnt really much of a tweaker.....

if you write you've replaced the textures and shapes in the cars wad, did you deleted all the old textures of the cars in the cars wad and did you overwrite all existing lods of the cars with the new ones? it's important to do this

It sounds like a mismatching texture size and .tex saved sizes.
To check this, use texresizer (click my signature banner below to get it if you havn't it yet) and open one of the texture that doesn't display properly.
Then check the written height and width size with the actual size of the biggest texture of this .tex file (convert it in .tga and check the real size of the picture).
They probably don't match so setting height and width to actual size could fix the problem.
Not sure that's your problem but it could be one reason.

@quickslick, Everything was replaced and deleted.

Looking into it now.

Lo2k, The max sizes: height and width is 4096... And i loaded a .tga file into the texResizer ending up with the same sizes..

I know only two possibilities: 1. You did something wrong when renaming textures, or 2. You haven't installed the official GP4 9.6 Patch, but using a decrypted.exe. This can cause the problem as well, but I tend to the first one. Check your cars with GP4Builder. If they are white there as well than the problem was renaming, otherwise I don't know.

TGF1DRIVER, ill surely look into it. Thanks
