ATM, I have no plan for it.
Many processing codes in GP4 have the limit up to 22 drivers and 11 teams. Althought we can modify hundreds of these codes, the works almost impossible. Your opinion about track infos and gpedia does makes sense how hard it could be done.

We hope ZaZ can handle it.
I think he managed to put it into CSM without much changes, as he was able to use the original GP4 Tweaker's files without special modification from me.
What do you think, ZaZ?

That's we talked about.
Instead of per team, you got per car/driver. If a team using identical steering wheel, they can share to single shape file (e.g. no need separated files such as COCKPIT_WHEELS_1.GP4 and COCKPIT_WHEELS_2.GP4). But this only for cockpit steering wheels. I have no plan (yet) to think about external steering wheels as they not often noticeable during race views. I'll think about it later (but please don't too count on it) along with our long awaited dream about 3D arms.

Could you explain it more detail, please?
Do you mean physic's sounds, or car physics and car sounds in a different meaning?

Hmm, I never thought about it.
Which one do you prefer:
1. A little tool that convert data in binfile (gp4tweak.bin) into INIs, or
2. Write down each changes to appropriate INIs with trailing track number in INI filenames (e.g. onboardcamera_XXX.ini, where XXX is number of track)

I would like to know what does these three textures in purpose?
Are they originally used for dry, moonsoon, and wet tyre textures?

In reality, doesn't matter who's right but most important is who's left.

hey boys... not too much....easter already was and christmas is long ahead...

but dreams are great, i still remember asking rené smit in beginning of 2003 about different cockpit-shapes, after i released the first cockpit-shapes...

@madman: i forgot, cockpit textures are the cp_teamname.tex files. but the shape is assigned to cpt_jor_art2.tex
three tirewalls are michelin, bridgestone, and mclaren. tirewall textures also inlude rim-texture/brand. therefore it could be interesting. dry,monsoon,and wet are the treads.

Guys, easy on Madman, we might be giving him 'information overload' by now. I'm sure he knows what to do next for GP4.

It would be cool to loose grip when off the CC line. Like having 'marbles'.

Just a thought.

Normally you have Bridgestone, Michellin and Mclaren. Thats 3.

Here are few examples of tyrewall textures:

Mclaren

This year they are much more than 3, thats why i suggested 6.

EDIT: Jorge beat me to it.

It might be easier just to make it 11 variations (maybe using the 2001 team order for names, like cars do), although I don't know if that is harder than 5 or 6 or not

Option 1 sounds great man: 1. A little tool that convert data in binfile (gp4tweak.bin) into INIs

Yeahh 11 sounds ideal, I hope it can be done.

also,doing it for 3D rims would be nice

@ madman:
gp4 original internal steering wheel is 2D and even if we make 3d steering wheels they don't support light reflections as the cockpit shape does infact in cars.wad what is in cockpits folder is 2d (no light envirorment) and what in cars folder is 3d (light envirorment).....is it possible to change this feature of the original steering wheel?
It seems very hard task but I don't know your resources!!!

p.s. great to have you back!

One small thing i would like to see if its possible is the rear light flashing on track in wet weather.

Welcome back Madman.

Very happy to see new improvements for GP4Tweaker.

Unless you change the PE header modification it should work.

I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

@Madman how is progress going on with new tweaks?

great to see you back after such a long time, i would love to see more tyre types able to be used instead of just the standard 3, but just wishful thinking lol

RaceSimsPitstop
Game Screens

yes that would be very nice to have different tyres/rims for all the teams.

Hi guys!

Nice to see another BIG PERSON for gp4 community is back!

I'll bring the discussion back a littile and ask a stupid question about rt editing. I'm using Tony's 2009 empty mod. It has a special option to enable rt editing. I enabled it, run the game, successfully edited some coords, then exit the game, but when i run it again i see the helmet is back to old position, so edited coords are not saved. So the question is - should i do something special to save the edited coords to mods ini files?

@mckey415

Make some screen shots and edit manually this ini files, it is the only method with the RT EDITING.

I've had an another method is to only load the mod with CSM (without quickstart option) and edit with TEAM EDITOR to have coordinates and edit ini files.
