New Track - first attempt

looks like an ace track

Hi there you all. This was a post I sent to jimbob and now I show you all.


Anyway. I had a bad experience yesterday deleting .tga files that were generated from original sepang.tex files and indianapolis.tex files you sent me.

I deleted them all and it crashed to work. Maybe I need a little more attempts to conclude it. In fact, my .wad file is over 40mb!!!!


This is my procedure: sepang2001 is the name of the folder I work with. I put into it all the .tex files and .tga files generated with tex2tga software. Even with tex from other tracks. In this wip track i´m only using indianapolis .tex from Shuttle´s Shangai and Jax altered adverts. I´m really concerned about deleting these tga files. If this won´t work out I´ll send you the .wad file so that you can extract it and delete for me the unwanted .tex and .tga files.

About the people on grandstands and those moving coloured flags: I´m not using then on this wip track - no patience to work with them (!!!). So, I deleted them all. Maybe this has caused the CTD.


And strange, your extracted objects - did you extracted them from Shangai 2.0???? - didn´t place at the exact place, so i had to move some of them...


Good news: I have the authorization from Shuttle to launch the track with his altered pit buildings objects. Isn´t that nice?

Now little things has to be done. Tonight I´ll finish the detaching faces and jipmappings applies. After that I can send you the track.

Gonna do this way:

1. First I send to you, so that you can solve the deleting .tex and tga files
2. Second I send to Jax so that he can replace some textures (gravels, grass and other stuff)
3. Third I send to Mr Zeppelin so that he can judge my cc line and reconfigure it if he wants to.
4. Fourth send to Ricardo Lampert so that he can evaluate to host into his site
5. After my whole approval, I send the definitive file to Lampert and launch the

YAY! Looking forward to it!

You have a wad over 40mb? Put it up somewhere and I'll trim that down for you quite easily

as i said in the pm..standard tracks have some tga files which you must not delete..... unzip the un edited track you choose as your track base...... take a note of the tga files.....copy them somewhere... delete all tga files in your wip track un zipped wad...then copy the tga files from the un modded track into the wad..& re zip....done.....


oh yeh just re read your post gildoorf....don't delete the Tex files!!!!

hi there.


@cleberpister: What do you mean???? Se você for brasileiro, por favor, pode reescrever tua pergunta em português? Eu realmente não entendi e acho importante esclarecer esse lance da permissão do Paolo(Shuttle)

@fongu: thanks for the complement, mate. I aprecciate your very good work too. Shouldn´t we talk about a partnership on next wip? It would be great a new partner...

@jimbob and zeppelin: what should I do??? One proposes to help me trimming the trash and I mentioned sent the file to the other... What do you recommend?

Yes, I´ll try tonight not to delete the .tex files and see what happens...

Question again: how do I change split sectors?

And again: what do I do with this f&%#&%)(*&60 pitverge.bin?????

Thank you all

@jimbob and zeppelin: what should I do??? One proposes to help me trimming the trash and I mentioned sent the file to the other... What do you recommend?

You can make a new one, I was going to but don't know if I can be bothered as it is quite time consuming. If the area where you pitlane is isn't too long, then you could make one, but it's up to you...

> Mais um brasileiro aqui no forum??? Se for, é muito legal. Bom, sou de Bragança Paulista, São Paulo. Sobre a pista da Alemanha, eu gostaria de saber se você tem uma nova versão ou sabe com corrigir o problema da entrada e saida dos boxes? Pois o circuito de Hockeinheim de 2004/2005, quando algum carro vai entrar ou sair dos boxes, aparece grama sore o asfalto. Eu já tentei várias coisas, mas sem sucesso. E pela vista (camera) aerea, o pit-lane aparece certinho, sem as gramas. Pode me ajudar? Grato e valeu.

Hi there

@cleber: eu não sei exatamente qual é o problema, até porque não ocorre isso na última versão do Shuttle que eu baixei... De qualquer forma você pode tentar aplicar as texturas novamente, ou elevar o plano de asfalto por sobre a grama...

Eu sou brasileiro sim. De Aracaju, Sergipe. E já morei em São Carlos, SP.


@jimbob and zepellin: as told before, I'll follow the procedure: I have sent jimbob the link first with some instructions.

News to come...

Cheers

a partnership? My track editing knowledge is miniscule, I've only really got modelling experience, if thats of use, then sure i can help a little with objects (not got much free time recently), but ask me if you want something

if you mean the the pitlane buildings?? high over tarmac/track???
the the location for these is inside the tracks wad file....un zipp the wad & open the folder in 3d editor..... open the gp4 file..look in the scenes ... & see where the pit builds are and use the displace button option...... or if i misunderstand you and you are talking about the buildings apperance as in tex files....these can be selected in the items tree list & changed to what you want......if you wish to see the track & object displayed in 3deditor in more detail...you need to transfer the tex to tga......lo2ks gives a detailed read me file which comes with 3deditor...you should find this helpful....good luck...

fongu:::

people like your kind self bring so much more to track editing with your talent for creating new objects.... it's always nicer / better to have an original track object/s in your track that you try to make as enjoyable / playable as possible...so keep up the good work....

My problem is: When I or another pilot we go to entar or to leave boxes, in some places appears gram instead of asphalt, only in pit-lane, the tracing is perfect. Only in pit-lane that in some parts, it appears gram in the place (for top)do alfalto. In which archive I obtain to arrange this? In the archive dat or gp4 inside of the archive wad of the track? Grateful

no puns here...if it's grass,,,then it's a case of choosing another tex file for it..in the objects properties...

show a screenshot to make things clear...

Hi there you all


Things are coming out: Jimbob who says

@Jimbob: answer my posts with good news, pleeeeease?!

@cleber and Prblanco: This is very nice to see brazilian people dedicated to GP4...

@Cleber: it´s grass, not gram... hehehe and tarmac instead of asfalto About the grass problem: I think you should show us with a picture. About the hockenheim file: I really don´t remember where I got it. But I only download tracks from gp4italia and Ricardo Lampert´s site. Try there.

@Prblanco: Very nice track this new Jerez, mate. It´s a great work, very nice cc line and elevations... Somethings I really want to learn. Indeed, the next track will be still fictious. I think I need more knowledge to deal with some things... Modelling and Zmodeler use, for example. But we should try another test track later on: Mugello, what do you think? I have photos from google earth, a little bit shades, but ok... This is something to think about it...

@Fongu: You´re too modest, my friend. I know you are great-skilled to this work. If you don´t have enough, don´t worry: me toooo!!!! And seeking perfection is something GP4 deserves, not us, isn´t it? We have all the time we want.

@Jimbob: i have written so much you must have things to say: mail me?

Cheers you all, go to lunch.
