TV Logo Set

Hey,
I've done a logo set from F1 broadcasters all over the world, but i'm not able to bring them ingame with GPxPatch. So if anybody want to do that and release it, feel free, but mention me in the credits

Thanks for these TV logos. Great work.

I don't want to release the TV logos for you but just to make a little tutorial to explain you how it works.... Hope you can do it yourself for the others.

Here is a n example with the TF1 HD Live logo:

First step: The logo in tga and the alpha layer

You have to create a logo in tga in 128x128 and also to create a good alpha layer so that your logo appears correctly in game.

1- Open your logo into Photoshop and reduce your image to 128X128 pixels max (width)
2- Create a new layer in 128x128. Fill the background with black color. Move your logo into this layer.
3- Merge the 2 layers.

Now you have got your logo but we need to make an alpha layer so that you can see only the logos in game and not the black background.
4- Go on your logo layer. Click-right and go into options/ Color incrustation (inlay) and choose the white color. Your logo must be white.
5- Create a new layer (128x128) and fill the background in black. Move your white logo inside the new layer so that its position be the same that on your logo image.
6- On the menu, go into Layers tab and merge all the layers. Your Alpha layer is ready.
7- On your main logo, create an alpha layer by clicking on the RVB layers tab (stratas) and click on the button create a new layer. An alpha in black will be created.
8- Go on your alpha layer you have created. Selection/ select all and move your alpha layer into the alpha layer of your main logo
9- Save in tga (32bits).

Your logo is ready. If you don't understand all the procedure, look at the tga file into the archive (link)


Second Step: How to make it to work in game? (cinfo folder, ini file and GPXpatch)
1- First you have to create a folder "cinfo" into your Grand Prix 4/ Gpxpdata folder. Place "your tv logo".tga file inside it.
2-Now, we have to create an ini.file using notepad , for example. Copy and paste these lines into notepad:

[Images]
Enable=1
Count=1

[Image1]
Enable=1
Path="NameOfTheTVLogo.tga"
scale=1
X=875
Y=30

Note: you can change the coordinates of your logo on screen later. The name of the logo must be the same than your tga file (for example: TF1.tga)

3-Save your ini file (NameOfYourLogo.ini) into your cinfo folder.
4- Open GpxPatch and go into your cinfo tab. Load your .ini file into an empty slot

It is done!

Note: You want to change the coordinates of your logo on screen. First, whatever is your screen resolution, you have to think in 1024x768 resolution.
1- Into GPxPatch/ Cinfo tab, click on "Edit" and click on "Edit underneath"
Width and height must be in 128 x128. Just modify X (max 1024) and Y (max 768) values. Once done, click on ok.
2- You can also choose the sessions or the cameras where appear your Tv logo: Open GPxPatch/Cinfo tab/ Edit/ Edit filter
