Track Textures

Ok, I downloaded and installed some hi-res and darker track textures, replaced tarmacmap.tex and tarmacbumpmap.tga in the track wad, but in-game there's no change, what am I missing?

tia

try turning bump mapping off in the in-game graphics menu.

Nah tried that already, and advanced lighting and everything else, I'm using CSM , could the problem be there ?

No idea, but tarmacmap.tex is the correct texture. Are you sure you are putting it in the "Resources" folder of the track wad and not the trackname2001 folder?

lol...yeah I'm not so much of a noob now I'm trying to darken the track, all files are where they should be , double check tarmacmap.tex in the wad, it's dark, get in game there's no change.
I'm wondering If the f1graphics.cfg is overriding something but after about 20 attempts I got pissed at it.
I might try a full re-install, but would rather not.

i noticed a similar thing with suzuka. i use different graphic settings for each mod (via f1graphics.cfg) and for some mods the tarmac is ok, for other mods the original gp4 tarmac shows up. i dunno why but it seems to be related to a graphic setting as the track is the same for both cases.

Thanks n00binio, when it's a modified wad I'm working with I can never be sure what's causing the problem. It's actually good to hear someone else had the same issue.
I just deleted f1graphics.cfg ran the calibration, boom! dark track textures, I need to take more care with my tweaking

you're welcome

Did you try playing with the prelight track value in the f1graphics.cfg?

Yup, but it just made everything looked washed out and overexposed.
