GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

me ? yes
but I also tried with 16.4 and result was the same.

-->Zeppelin:

Yea I've had this, try deleting all TRACKxx objects and adding those from a .gp4 exported from ZM, seems to do the trick 80% if the time

I have a couple of questions.

1: What is the best way to make your track on scale

2: My pitlane is connected to my track but if I wanna drive in the pitlane (coming from the track) i hit the wall. How do I get that wall piece away?

@Auradrummer: You really encounter weird troubles
Well, I sometimes had an error in 3DEd when converting .dat to .gp4 but it never made any mess ingame.
I will check if I could reproduce your problem anyhow.
And I also think I will rebuild the whole .dat to .gp4 function as it is a painfull piece of code, especialy if I want to slice other objects of the track (verges, banks).

@fulcoboy:
1: I have no advise for this. all I could tell you is that a sector length is 16 feet and camera positions are in meters as new object sizes and positions...
2: if you look at each sector's window, you have fence gate checkbox, just check them for sectors where pitlane go through track sectors walls.

Another question: Is there a way to move objects up and down? Over the Z axel?

yep, right click as told in the user guide

Tnx I found it

Everybody:

Thanks to the Lo2K and Zeppelin's help, I'm able now to edit the verges/bank appearance ingame. I made a copy of the whole object and set it to "bridge". I took out the objects that have the same tex of the verge/bank below and worked on those that are different. Worked perfectly, but if we have another way to do it, will be appreciated.

Someday, someone told about that parts that won't be wet, even in rain, like under bridges. I have strong reasons to believe that those dry areas is set by the shadow objects.

for shadows, simply use the SHADOW class...

concerning shortcuts, your idea as a flaw : what if there are more than 10 parts ? You can't do ctrl+11...
I do believe this kind of operation will only be speeded up the day multi selection will be effective.

-->Lo2K: Don't worry about it, because I don't think that too many trackmakers divided their sections in more than 10 parts, or you can make Ctrl+F1, F2 and so on, then you'll have 12 parts. Was just an idea that would speed up my work a lot. Now I have to do Alt - E - D - A in sequence to detach the faces, and more than 100 times, generally.

Hehe, for my oval I had to detach 680 faces

--> Zeppelin: But you did a very good work!

I have two questions:

-> How can I make the pitcrew be more close to the pitroad? They are too far.

-> Everytime I have to pit (only human car), when I enter in the pitroad my team go back to the garage and leave me alone, stopped, feeling like an idiot!!!

The first issue - Move the pit banks closer, you can tecnically venture as close as a value of 5, 20000 I think as long as the .col faces which are automatically built since 16.4 are in place.

The second issue - I have not a clue, what are the values in the initial pitlane sector?

Zeppelin: What values? I have a bunch of!

Just click once on the sector and you'll have cc-pitch / direction, what do they say?

Above is my first attempt circuit, the physics of the circuit is completed, but often i get those inferior ctd's at the end of loading. Hopefully can someone sort out what the problem is. This is the link to the dat file: CIRCUIT DAT

I'm a total dick. How many people can say that?

Seems to be very long track, is it on sec limits?

My circuit has 1473 sectors, pretty fast circuit, lap rounds about 1.35", but that can't be the problem, because in the beginning i had no ctd at all, it was just 'perfect'.

Have you tried a quickrace on it then?
