Torque .cap maker [v1 Released; Archive fixed as well I hope]

Posted by AUS_Doug 
What it does:
-----------------------------
- Loads a Grand Prix 4 .exe file and extracts its Torque Curve for saving to a CSM compatible .cap file.

Requirements:
-----------------------------
- .NET Framework 4

Instructions:
------------------------------
1) Use the Torque Editor (http://www.grandprixgames.org/read.php?23,1046385) to update a
Grand Prix 4 .exe with the desired Torque Curve.

2) Extract 'Torque CAP Maker' from the archive, and run from anywhere on your PC.

3) Find your modified Grand Prix 4 .exe by using the 'GP4 EXE' button.

4) Press 'Save Torque .cap file', and save the file somewhere on your PC.

An .ini file will be created the first time you run the application, containing two keys under the [Settings] section:
'Last Used Path' = Remembers the last place you loaded a Grand Prix 4 .exe from. (Default is program directory)
'Debug' = Set this to high to log a *lot* more information. (Default is 'Low';)

ChangeLog:
----------------------------
11th October 2015 - 1.0 Release


Notes:
----------------------------
There is, naturally, no guarantee that this won't break something.
Backup your GP4.exe before modifying it with anything.

I've tested this with multiple Torque curves and it has worked every time.
If it doesn't work for you, please let me know, either at GrandPrixGames.org or at aus_doug@hotmail.com

Feel free to host this anywhere you like, but remember to give credit where it is due and make sure that
this file is kept intact alongside the application.

Credits:
----------------------------
* Phantaman for telling me where the Torque Curve is located in the GP4.exe, and for testing this tool.
* All the people who've kept GP4 alive these many years.

Are you able to try with something other than WinRAR?
For me, it works fine with 7-Zip and even Windows explorer can open it no problem.

Hmmm, that is strange.

Oh well; I've just reuploaded it, so I'm hoping that the problem - whatever was causing it - has been resolved.

Bingo that worked!
Do the AI and Player use the same torque curve in game, from the .exe?

As far as I know, yes.

Doug, i tried and it doesnt work for me. I tried reboting twice the PC and it doesnt start the aplication.
I have windows 10.
I do not think it's something related to Windows 10 because in my PC is also Windows 10 Pro 64bits and everything was fine. try running as administrator (Y)

Celso i did that. I put compability to windows xp SP2 and i put to run as adminatrator.
It doesnt work for me.
Maybe try to install it on drive D:\ instead of C:\Program Files



@Jorge

Do you know if you have the .NET framework installed?

The program will require that.

This page can help you check.
