________________________________________________________________

The final release for the 2005 mod is close.

I've emailed the final Beta to the testers, so testing is underway, and If they work hard - 18 hour days please guys :p - the final release won't be far off.
(If I've left anyone of the testers list then get in touch and we'll sort something out )

Heres a wee overview and something to read for the testers, maybe.

The set will be a full all inclusive set, and not an update to the previous ones. Many reasons for this - all good One being that you can get rid of the old ones (at your own risk, of course )

There will also be three 'bonus' subsets.
Pre Season with a few irregular drivers, Post Season with the 2006 driver & team line up and Testing with the teams' regular test drivers.
Relevant car and helmet liveries are used for these - so you get the Midland, Williams, Honda end of season liviries etc.
These three bonus subsets work, but aren't meant to work as well as the main set. So theres not so much customisabilty with them.
Check below for the line ups.

Heres the latest credits:

Thx a lot for sending the mod to me, Tony !

Vous avez voulu Hollande et les socialistes, vous les avez !!! Au secours, la France est au plus mal !

if you need any more testers I'm happy to help.

---

Same here Tony, i can test if you want. email is SchumiWDC@yahoo.com

can the Minardi be changed to Spoony's?
Or i believe it'll be easy to change the cars to a users preferred author without too much hassle :P?? e.g. Mod going berserk?

Otherwise great work

Wow so much attention to detail

Wouldnt it have been easier to use the Virgin Honda team for the 2006 part of the mod?(post season). It would have been very easy to use that team for Super Aguri. I guess its pretty easy for us to put it in ourselves.

Not complaining too much though!, great work!!!!

I've tested the mod, Tony, and there's a ctd when a track is loading (maybe it's not the same for everyone) I used the new csm and all...




Vous avez voulu Hollande et les socialistes, vous les avez !!! Au secours, la France est au plus mal !

@dom - yep its your trulli helmet.

it is easy to change cars - is your gp4/pc working mini?

it was just easier for me to include one 11th team, and who knows if super aguri makes it?? but it'll be easy to add that team just to the Post Season

@Jax - whats the problem? did it install ok? and it crashes at any track? at what stage does it crash?
can you send me your gpxpatch log and csm.log too please

____
Tony

Tony, the installation works fine, no problem. But when I click start there's a ctd with this error message : "file not found". However I use the last csm version you send to me and all the datas are in my gpsaves/carset folder.

Vous avez voulu Hollande et les socialistes, vous les avez !!! Au secours, la France est au plus mal !

sorry if i missed this, but i presume the dat files go in the track folders too? do they need to be named something else, or will two sct01 files clash?

um, if you do it with TSM then you just browse to your dat and wad and they'll be copied to 'Tracks\FolderName'
doing it manually then any name is fine. but only one dat and one wad per folder (for now anyway)
so two or more sct01.dats in different tracks (folders) doesnt matter.

@Jax - i've emailed you

Tony

I am testing it out and it is just superb tony !!

A few things you could remove like f1graphic file and f1gstate file cause everyone has a different computer and i am not using a steering wheel and thats the settings with those files into the mod !!!! Also at your resolution settings i even can't run the game. I put my own graphic file in the folder with resolution 1024*768 and everything runs fine !!!

But i am a bit fighting with the track editor. I have created a new track called test track. I have selected a loading screen, the dat file and the wad file, see screenshot. When i press X nothing happens, should there need to be test track be added in the values under the track tab in configuration ??? there i am a bit confused !!!!



So tell me what i am doing wrong héhé

I put my own graphic file in the folder with resolution 1024*768 and everything runs fine !!!

thats exactly what all users should do - theres no way to customise the settings for each user, so you can delete those two files and just use your default ones, or replace the 2 that came with the set.
i think its best for each set to have its own f1gstate.sav atleast (although CSM takes care of alot of it) and some mods may hurt the PO more/less so a set specific f1graphics.cfg is good too.

TSM works with ALL tracks installed in the Tracks folder. so on that screenshot you've only got 1 track installed. It looks installed OK though.
now Create a new track with:
FN: Default_Monza
N: monza \ italy
Ad: italy
W: browse to your default monza2001.wad (Q:Program Files\Inforgames\Grandprix4\monza2001.wad)
D: same for dat (Q:Program Files\Inforgames\Grandprix4\sct15(???).dat)
LS: not needed, but you can put the default track15 (or whatever) in there.


now you've got to do that with all 17 default tracks, and any others you want installed.
look at the 2005a.ini and 200b.ini - they contain the 'Folder Names' where the track is stored.

If you run the set now the tracks will be in default 2001 order, so menus etc won't match up.
But put those two ini files into the Tracks folder, and install sll the tracks as i say and you'll have all tracks working properly - 19 or them! (actually 34...)

____
Tony

for example i want the oval made by zeppelin and hockenheim as my 19 tracks. Both uses sct12 and the wad is both called hockenheim2001 isn't that going to give a crash or a conflit ????

Also the folder names has to be the exact names of the ini right else the track will be default ????

So only put 1 track in like my screenshot doesn't work then, there has to be at least 17 in that folder to get it working ????

there should be the 19 real F1 tracks - just like in my screenshot: [www.grandprixx.com]

and then add the oval as one of the others - so in slot 3 on 2005b.ini

this is my 2005b.ini. suzuka and shangai should be 1 & 2, and you can put anything in the other slots.

[Tracks]
Track1=Default_Suzuka
Track2=Shangai2005
Track3=Circuit Rousseau
Track4=Uqbar
Track5=Canon F1 Test Circuit
Track6=Default_A1Ring
Track7=Silverstone1952
Track8=Lausitzring
Track9=Brno
Track10=Mugello
Track11=Speed Rink
Track12=TheORing
Track13=Rivertown
Track14=osterreichring1977
Track15=thebridge
Track16=Montreal Bridge
Track17=Jerez
