GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

Hmm, I'm sorry Patrick but :
- 3DEditor creates 33 sectors from the pit start flag and do not use pits end flag here.
- Concerning GP4, I dealt with user troubles that were due to the fact pits end flag was not 33 sectors away of pits start...

Yes, i know. But i mean a trackmaker can use it as an endpoint for the pitbox area. Just as a reference where the wider verges/banks should be.

Weird, cause gp4 overwrites the position. I've tested it on multiple tracks, and it works fine.

Have you been messing around with the .exe again?

I've set some breakpoints in the .exe a few minutes ago to check it again. The pits-end position is overwritten before the value is used by gp4.

But it's just a flag, so it isn't that important

I agree about pits end flag : it could anyhow be a reference for other things.
About the need for it, I don't know. If you made some tests already and double- checked the code, you can't be wrong

Look i still have my problem with my pit, when i drive trough it my wheels go left righ left right etc. Is it because i made my trackwith from big to small ? I really wanna do my track at this way. Is there a good solution ? Or is it only possible to have one trackwith over the compleet pitlane?

Send me the .dat and i'll have it back to you by tomorrow evening at the latest

thanks! i sended to you email....

That shoudn't be a problem. I also had this 'twiching' after changing the pitlane and recomputing cc-direction. After that I edited the pitlane for asecond time without computing cc-direction and it worked - i don't now why because it looks wrong in 3DEditor when the normals era showing to the left side but nevertheless it work for me.

@Lo2k: I had a try on the pitlane and I suppose (Zep also told me) that it seems not possible to create a fully working pitlane when it crosses the track from one side to the other.
Because of this I tried something else and I was surprised that it worked - but I musn't recompute cc-cars direction because the cars are twiching from the left to the right if I do so (I only may recompute track pitch and cc-cars pitch).

Here a pic:

I don't understand, why would you want to have it like that anyway? You could tecnically have the pitlane sector 0 start there (if a little displaced further onto the track) and it would work fine...

@Tumke: Check your mail

Hy i checked my mail. Thank you! But the track is not loading if i added the other flags to it...i send the edited file back, so maybe you can see what i did wrong

Check your Speed Limiter Off flag

@Ruboy: Hmm...Weird.

hmmm 2 flags on sector 128 is that wrong ?? changed it but the problem is still there

That's bizzare, I'll take a look tomorrow and hopefully find a fix

The problem is(I don't know why) that the pitlane is displayed just at sector 4 ingame altough the flags are set in a way that it should be displayed earlier. Before, the visible tarmac began at where now is sector 6, so that there was grass displayed instead of tarmac. I tried some things but it didn't work so I just streched the sectors 4 - 8 and moved them backwards so that the visible tarmac beginns where it should. To make the drive-in smoother I 'compressed' sectors 0 - 3.
I know it looks strange, but it's working fine

Inspired by the gp3 forum, a track based on montreal (one part of a evening work!) Only problem is the corner at the end of the brige, it is to sharp, don't know how to get it right.

If only i could become the survant off all...

Hi Zeppelin101 did you already find a fix for the problem? A was i few days out of town so i couldn't react.. please let me know

a question for Lo2k,

In several corners in my track the cpu is suddenly very high, i had this problem before and i thought it was gone..but now its back , i use 3deditor 16.4

When i import my track via zmodeler i have only a huge cpu in some corners, if i do import track from .dat the cpu is always high.

any idea?

gr. Tom

?? No, I never saw this before or heard anyone having this either...weird
