Can someone please tell me what the values should be for the REAR_LIGHT_AMBIENT01_POS in the rearlight.ini ? The current values are 0.0000, -0.1000, -2.2700. What should they be?

Anybody?

I'd like to know as well. I have GP4 tweaker and I've tried messing around with a few different values but I can't get the glow to appear in the right place. Any help appreciated.

hmmf, i really don´t know, mates.
but as far as i know these three values are x,y,z position.
0.000, 0.000, 0.000 will be the middle of the car (cockpit).
now play around with up/down should be y, and fwd/bkwd should be z.
change always only always on value, maybe at the beginning pretty much.
than you can decide witch direction you have to go in finetuning.

i never had the time to adjust any glow in my game... and with some cars it´s needed...

yes, if anyone has the ini file with all of the correct positions please share it!

You have to do it yourself mate. It all depends on which cars you use. For the gp2 cars you should use these:
0.0000, -0.1100, -2.4280

With the old gp4tweaker you could adjust the settings ingame. With the gp4tweaker reloaded you can't. You can open the car in ZModeler and move the mouse in left or right view to the position of the rear light. Then you can read the values from the status bar at the bottom.

erik,
you are genius...
i never was thinking about getting the values of z-modeler...
and it´s so obvious.

I've tried to use the values from Z modeler but it's still not appearing correctly. I'm after the values for the DJVass McLaren, the Monaco version.

Here's how you do it:

*Import the car into ZModeler (first open and save the car with GP4Builder)
*hide all the objects and unhide rear_light_on
*now move your mouse to the rear_light_on object and write down the Y and Z values:


*Open rearlight.ini from the gp4tweak_data folder
*fill in these values:


*Open gp4tweak.ini and check if AmbientPos is set to 1

Many thanks. Now sorted it. I was using the wrong view in Z modeler. I was taking the values from the rear view rather than the side.

would be good if people could share their data in here. So for example:

Fongu's Super Aguri SA07: 0.0000, -0.2398, -2.2574

MDB's RBR & STR: 0.0000, -0.1376, -2.3321
