Nope Turbo Lover, it does the same to me, really annoying

I checked what was wrong and it's due to the fact camera position markers can't find (deleted) sector coordinates anymore and thus can't be displayed properly.
I will fix it for next version.
Thanks for the report.

Thanks Laurent, but do you still have a recent previous version of GP4 Builder where i can work with before a new version of GP4 Builder comes online with the fix?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, here is 1.237 exe which is the latest version without the camera markers.

Thanks once again.

EDIT: First time i could open it with 1.237, but after that i cannot open it anymore, same problem as with 1.279.

With 3DEditor 14.4 i have no problem at all, hopefully the dat file is not corrupted.

i had the file .gp4 corrupted after createad track sectors with the latest version of gp4 builder (1.279)...dont know why
also creation of track sectors from .dat has become very slow.. about 20 second instead of 1 sec of previous version of gp4 builder

Other problem, but non related to version of gp4 builder, in some sectors cars disappear watching track cameras .. any ideas to fix?

thanks

Whatever the GP4Builder version, track .dat has never been corrupted so far.
you can get error messages with latest versions but it's not directly due to the .dat but to external additional things (like new camera 3d markers or jip mapping) so don't junk your .dat file !

To read .dat files having these errors, waiting for new version that is fixing the problem, you can use old GP4Builder 1.181 temporarily.

Conversion .dat to track is slow ? I didn't notice that and as far as I know, I havn't changed anything in .dat to .gp4 code but I will check that.

Concerning disappearing cars with given track cameras, it's because each original track slot has a given number of track cameras available. Thus if you put a track with 15 cameras in a slot only handling 10, you will get visibility troubles with the 5 latests cameras. (to know how many cameras handle each track slot, open each original .dat and check the camera number, its slot has the same amount).
There's no workaround yet but putting the track back to a slot handling enough cameras (usualy the original slot of the track).

Thanks for replay,

i've done many test with 2 differents version of gp4 builder 1.181 and 1.279 and the result is:
-when i createad track sectors with gp4 builder 1.181, the track load on game
-when i createad track sectors with gp4 builder 1.279, the track crash

One thing is common: the dat files have no bug inside so the bugs come with .gp4 file.

About cams i noticed that from original dat one cam is missing so the problem is here.

bye

I know for the crash with recent versions, next version will fix it and I know it doesn't come from the .dat, as said upper.

Anyway I found the reason for the long delay when converting .dat to .gp4 and get it done to about no time again for next version.

Thanks for the report.

welcome if it's help to improve gp4 builder

I want to use jip 944 (horizontal line) but I can't see it. Cane someone tell me how to?

aren't you seeing jip 944 in gp4builder?

Yeah I can't see it at all no matter what I try.

i've the same problem.

Yep, everyone have the same problem because jip mapping preview was a wip feature and it appears I missed a few jip ID descriptions so jip ID 915,940,941,942,943,944 and 945 aren't displayed in v1.279. I'm fixing it for next version.

I really don't get this connecting of pit lane stuff, I've got the start and exit on the main track and it won't accept it :/. It also says that my start/finish line is missing.

Would anyone be able to take a look and possibly fix it?

I heard there was a way to bypass the lap limit?

Also is there a track making resource pack with stuff like models (pits,grandstands etc.) and textures (tarmac, kerbs etc.)

yes the resource pack is called gp4...extract what you need from each default tracks.....
