Zapp!! Hi Vader. I clean-installed then patched with 9.06. I then transferred the Cars.wad from the Flo season package version I had on the pc.
Updated tracks by copying wads also.
I then used GP4 master to make some further updates to cars.wad.
I temporarily replaced the 9.06 exe with the v.1.00 cracked exe and used car creator to change helmets.
replaced 9.06 cracked exe and then updated the teams with GP4edit 0.10.
After this I found that the helmets and names were wired up as regards Toyota and Minardi. Took me 2 hours to get them sorted out (yoong in Toyota and salo in minardi or 2 yoongs, one in toyota and one in minardi). I have no idea how I fixed it with car creator but it's in order now,
Still with me?
Now I found that I had the old 2001 faces in the driver menus. So I copied the FLO menudata\pc\2001\images and replaced the orginal. When I found I had the "AI take-over" problem, I tried switching back to the original, but no chance.
The situation is at the moment:
Working: Mclaren, Williams, Renault, Toyota, Minardi
Under AI control: everything else.
I have not tried every driver, but it seems to be a team-related problem.
Do you know what part of the game loads the relevant cars into the player-what-ever that lets you drive?
I might try making a new install ans copy from the existing 2002 game version the relevant files. Testing after each import. that should take about a week!
Any advice appreciated (BTW:, at this stage I am prepared to consider turning to the dark side)
May the force be with you!
PS: Carcreators's driver menu update function does not seem to export the pictures. That is why I copied from the FLO images file.
