GP4 Track Editing - new new thread

Looks great Zeppelin

I found solution to clipping issues with DXT5 + Full transparency textures.

You can use DXT5 texture if you move object or part of object in scene 1.

I tested it with my Melbourne pitbuilding. I moved Glass part to scene 1 and retain rest of pitbuilding in scene 4 and everything works well.

Maybe this works also with other tracks.

thank jimbob1 :D
work!!!

@TTM:

Is it only for DXT5? This is similar to kerbs. You should not keep them and the other track objects (from .dat, f.e. verges) in one scene because they are interfering. I guess it's a general issue that objects which are very close to each other should not be placed in one scene.
Anyway, good work

This may explain why the original objects such as pit buildings / stands/ etc are made up of many parts ..some placed in different scenes......

@uskoff.....glad it works 4 u......post some screenies when you have something interesting to show.......

I see you used the fence option to create a treeline, a shame you see a thin line on the top of the trees, the high res version of Monza has sadly also the same problem.

Could not the problem be solve if you place the vertexes 8on the left with the thin line) a few mm or cm under the tarmac?

No, because this would mean that the shadows would disappear entirely

Than also elevate the vertexes on the side of the rails. This should work, shouldn't it?

Then the shadow would be floating

Isn't it just a problem with the tree textures themselves - the top line must not be completely transparent or something.

Maybe we get to drive accross a shallow swamp, you know ?

This tree texture problem can be solved if you edit alpha channel and make bottom line of texture to transparent.

Yep, was about to say it.
Other solution : edit mapping coords to be a little below maximum values (0.01 to 0.99 instead of 0 to 1).

i can add 6 kerbs (6 l + 6 r) to an empty scene, but any more cause crashes. even if i make them bridge objects.
is there a problem with my 7th kerb? or is ther a limit of 6?

That was what I was going to try today

@B-tone: weird. I never heard about such possible limit.

@Zeppelin: it's anyhow faster to simply change alpha layer last pixel line of the texture to black.

I have 36 kerbs all told in my track, and it works a treat.

However, with the first track I made, I hit a strange problem where my 13th kerb was causing a crash. If it's just the 7th one, try removing it from the .gp4 and seeing if it runs, then check over the sectors in the dat, it's possible that you've added extra kerb start flags, or kerb desc. flags by accident

i deleted that 7th kerb and it loads now.
but one problem i've always had is pitlane bins. stick it in the wad and it crashes :<|
is there some trick other than converting dat to bin?

try to add or remove one pitlane sector, recreate the .bin and try if track loads again...I know there's a bug when pitlane has a given amount of sectors.
