My GPGSL Career

GP4Builder shows in this window that the left track width of pitlane sector 22 is 1.43 metres:




However, in the window "Edit Pitlane sector" the the left track width of pitlane sector 22 is 1.81 metres:



Which window shows the correct information? Hopefully this can be fixed in a new release of GP4Builder.

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

There are two things here :
- First, B4 and B5 commands settings are applying to next sector (you can see it by changing the width value for sector 22 and you will see changes applied to sector 23 in the 3d view) so if you want to check sector 22 width you need to check sector 21 width commands
- second, there's effectively a little difference because pitlane includes sidelines (while they are separated for track) but I missed to add sidelines width in the command label

So the advice is : always trust sector windows (were all values are gathered in metres and degrees).

This has been fixed for next revision though. Thanks for the report

If I understand correctly the sidelines of the pit lane sectors are in the current version of GP4Builder not graphically shown and physically wise not there?

For the pitlane, sidelines are jip texture applied to tarmac and thus they are graphically shown if you have the .jip file in the same folder as the track you opened.
I don't know what you mean by physicaly but pitlane tarmac widths are graphicaly correct and all the values were correct too but the B4/B5 command width label as said above.

The archive .gp4 has size limt?
I am editing a file and when the track goes from 16.500mb gives error on the loading screen?
What should I do?

The gridleft.tga and gridline.tga ship with GP4builder, to enable you to see them, and edit them into place. However you can also find them Grand Prix4\maps\resources\jams.
In regard to that first problem it’s a bit of a mystery to me. Did you replace the .bin files in the wad?

ah ok

TheDarkListener : car jumps are most often due to bad or incorrect flags. Is everything OK in the Tools Menu\Track flag list ?

All okay...

@TheDarkListener : Well I don't know then and it might need a deeper look at it. If you can't find a solution, juste share or send me a link to your .dat file and I will check it asap (I'm away from home up to monday though).

I can remember having something similar to this a while back & Lo2k suggested that it may be a flag command in the wrong place...so try moving say the flag command for pitlane fences end to the next sector etc & see if this fixes the bump..

after re-reading your post check & see if you have added a bank description where the pitlane exits & joins the track....this also causes the car to jump from the pitlane onto track.

also..i have a bit of time available tonight..send me the dat file to check if you like.....

it's pretty odd to me.....maybe i haven't been keeping up with gp4 builder features but...i can't understand why the pitlane has banks with no f5 bank description flag commands ? still looking & everything looks correct except for this..

atm i dunno............send the dat to lo2k.....expect for what i mentioned in above post can't see whats causing that weird bug..

send the dat to lo2k

I've done it

@THeDarkListener : I quickly checked your file and would advise to create banks commands (F5) for both left and right sides between pitalen fence begin and pitlane fence end flagged sectors. I was thinking about these commands too but looking at your .dat and at original .dat too, it could fix the trouble (even if you set banks width to 0).

yeah
you are the best
the bug is away

Is there any visual indicator in GP4 builder that shows me precisely where the car will appear in the garage when Qualifying / Free Practice ? I notice on a lot of tracks the positioning is a bit off , or can anyone recommend a method.

thx

Cars are by default evenly placed in the garage atop the three sectors each garage is occupying.
but Magic Data are also used for garage car position (and direction).
I don't remind much about this but it was tweaked by some modders for Monaco for instance to make the car position closer to the pitlane and at 45° of the pitlane (old pitlane configuration of course).
