GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

Laurent said:

"The solution could be to detach faces receiving transparent texture in new parts and then un-group these parts to new separated objects all in GP4 Builder".

This is the best solution, believe me.

And I have not started making tracks yesterday

Edit : solved by myself already

HI!

I am working in PAUL RICARD 1988…

In some parts of the track, in the camera of TV, the car it disappears and after some second return appearing…

This happens with all the cars… As to correct?

You most probably used more cameras than the track slot allows to use. Try to use your track in SPA slot, it has the highest camera count and you might not have this problem.

PERFECT!!!

THANKS!!!

Laurent, when creating track from dat the mapping of the verges and banks are messed up:











Hopefully there is a fix soon, thanks.

Indeed.
The best thing to do if you want to have non-uniform verges and uniform banks is to create things in 2 times :
- first create anything (but banks) and verges with non uniform mapping.
- second create banks only : uncheck verges, check banks but check verges unform mapping and banks uniform mapping to get banks correct mapping
I will check what's happening in the code to fix that anyway.

PS : Fixed for next revision (in fact track banks were using verges mapping checkbox and pitlane verges were using banks mapping checkbox, simple, isn't it ).

Ah, that explains why. Thanks for the work-a-round.

Hi!
I am working in Paul Ricard 1988…

I am with a problem: I do not obtain to enter nox boxes…
all the other cars I enter…
when I am entering in pitlane the car comes back pra track…

how to correct?

that's a misplaced flag, maybe "pitlane fences begin". i guess it's my .dat, i'll have a look at it next weekend

HI!

PAUL RICARD:

During the race, all the cars are motionless during pit-stop…
I selected FIX PITSTOP BUG but it did not function…

grateful

i'll have a look at that as well

Now it functioned!

thanks n00binio

Laurent, i don't know if it is a bug, but this is the case: When creating banks, the mapping of the texture in the first & last tracksections is repeated a fewer times. An example:







Is this correct? Looks kinda weird.

Yep, obviously it is repeated a fewer times as you used uniform mapping. This settings repeating texture every 16 feet perpendicularly to the track to keep a close ratio to 1/1 with track section placed at 16 feet each others.
So if you want the mapping to be repeated let's say 5 times whatever the bank length, you might use non-uniform mapping at creation and then use advanced mapping to set a scale of U=1 and V=5 (or U=5 and V=1, I'm not sure which is which).

hi Lo2k,

today i've restarted an old track.I've finished track sectors and i did a new pitlane.then i created a new .gp4 file with the lastest version of gp4builder(Xmas Edition),but game crashed when the bar was 100% loaded.I started to do a bit of trial and error:

1-trying an original .wad file with my textures.Loaded in game
2-added .bin files.Loaded in game
3-added .col file.Loaded in game
4-added the .gp4 file.Crashed at 100% loading

i understood that the problem was in the .gp4 file.i remade it with gp4builder 1.181(a version i downloaded from this thread) and now it works.
Can this problem be fixed in a future release?(together with banks\verges mapping)

also,i don't see anymore tracksectors' numbers on the .dat file
