Never gotten ANY Melbourne track to work...

I've just downloaded 2008 versions of most tracks and they all work fine except Melbourne.

I've never gotten any Melbourne track, made to date, to work!

Perhaps it's because it's the first one???

The rest work without any patch and that's the way I like it.

HELP !!!

You say "any patch"... does that mean you don't use even GPxPatch?

All modified versions of Melbourne require GPxPatch to run.

MELBOURNE TRACK 2007
Works fine, looks great!

"You say "any patch"... does that mean you don't use even GPxPatch?

my albert park works without GPxPatch :p

All you need to do mate is replace the melbourne2001.wad in the GP4 directory with the downloaded wad and then replace the sc1t01.dat *something like that* in the gp4 directory with the downloaded one.

make sure that the dat and wad files are named exactly as they were in the original GP4 directory.

after that start the game and have fun!

I've managed to do that with ALL the tracks from the 2008 track pack EXCEPT Melbourne. I've never used any patch whatsoever.

DonMogul, could you provide a link for your track that doesn't need a patch?

I'd appreciate it!!!

What year is your Albert Park?

So you don't even you use GPxPatch? And CSM?

But nearly everyone uses GPxPatch. I don't think I could play GP4 without GPxPatch, in fact.

I don't do any mods, CSM etc. I downloaded the track melborne 2007
open up the wad, update the visors and smoke fire etc. little extras avaliable at RealGpx
close the wad.
Put melborne2001.wad back in the GP4 directory .dat file in circuits folder.
Then I open my gpxpatch and off to the races.
PS
I NEVER use the TRACK section of gpxpatch. NO use
6 yrs. still going strong never any problems.
cheers

well if you know how TSM and CSM work you also have no problems at all. Using it now for 4 years and works perfect.

i know how CSM and TSM work. call me old fashioned but i like to see what files are being modded.

@ airjimracing

considering albert park track hasnt changed all that much over the years ive got a 2005 version. i downloaded a zip file and it had the melb wad and track dat all ready to go. just copy paste into the right folder and everything works.

@ msater

i use gpxpatch of course. but that is only for the extra bells and whistles that Lo2k and others provide. the track itself runs and drives fine without GpxPatch

its wierd with all the tools are provided you want to play the game almost standard but hé everybody has his own opinion and ways he like things

why playing a track that is 4 years old when there is a 1 year old track that can be updated to 2009 pitstands and garages with much better quality then 4 years ago? Only if you have a slow or old pc i understand.

@ DonMogul

Where can you find this 2005 version? Can you provide a link?
