i like this idea, but the thing bout GPx series is this
I think they have made this game as hard as they possibly could have for us to edit this game. They dont want it edited, because they want us to buy GP5 when it comes out.
They have used different texture mapping for each car, storing the car parts in more than one file, having carshapes in more than one file, having the exe encrypted by the newest version of safedisc. Even putting all the files into a .wad file is a way of trying to stop us editing it
yet, despite all this we have a beta track editor released, and im sure its bout 75% done by now. We have pictures of a beta shape editor (with which a texture mapper will come i belive), and we have editors such as CSC4 and GP4Master
No matter what they do, ANY game can be edited if people are willing to try hard enough. Give it a few months and i bet we will have high quality tracks like Hockenhiem 2002 etc.
No matter what they do, editors will find a way to change whats in the game.
Geoff said GP5 will be the last - theres only one sure way to know - wait
IF GP5 is the last, i think it will be VERY editable. Geoff would get a huge ammount of satisfaction from knowing everyone is making new mods for his game all the time, and not going out and buying the newest release from Sony etc.... (EA said the F1 200x series stops at F1 2003)
People will always find a way to edit games. Some of these people are better than the people making the game. Where there is a will theres a way
