This is really weird and unfortunately i have no way to reproduce your error since on all systems we tested it, it always worked. You did use the 1.1 version of the DLL, right?

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 5 weeks ago

oh, and you did place the dll into the main gp4 folder as the readme says, right?

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 5 weeks ago

only thing i can think of is some anti-virus software preventing the dll injection?

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 5 weeks ago

Hard to tell what the issue is from the information provided. Enable debug mode in gpxpatch and Log file verbosity to high. Then in you gpxload.txt you should see such entries: [20:05:59.847] >> FolderExtender: File entry: WPATT_F1.JAM [20:05:59.847] >> FolderExtender: File entry: WPATT_F2.JAM [20:05:59.847] >> FolderExtender: File entry: WPATT_F3.JAM [20:05:59.847]

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 6 weeks ago

I'm glad it worked. If you patched your exe already with the 4gb patch, there is no need of patching the memory in the same way with GMA. However, the actualy idea of GMA is to apply all patches through memory and leave the gp4.exe as it is.

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 6 weeks ago

The only reason I can think of is that GPxPatch (gpxpatch.exe) doesn't exist in the Dir where your gp4.exe is (D:\Program Files (x86)\Infogrames\Grand Prix 4\2001). Did you double-check that? GMA checks this path for gpxpatch.exe and if it exists, the gpxpatch tab as well as the gpxpatch option in the settings will be enabled.

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 6 weeks ago

No-CD-Message: Simply enable this tweak and it should work (tested on multiple computers w/o cd-drive and never encountered any issues): GPxPatch: You must have GPxPatch installed / existing in your GP4 dir (GPxPatch is not included in GMA). As long as GPxPatch.exe (and all related files and subfolders) exist in your GP4 dir, you will be able to enable it in the settings:

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 6 weeks ago

QuoteGP4Addicted Does this works on Win 10? It's not working for me at all. At my main, specific 2001 instalattion folder, i have an Team Editor and Tweaker modified exe, so no deal. At my alternate instalation folder, for CSM mods files extraction, with the unmodified TomMK patched exe, it keeps asking to insert the game CD. - It has been tested on Win 11 and Win 7, so Win 8 and W

Re: Öggo's Dev Corner: Individual Meshes and Textures, Hi-Res Pitcrews and more... - 6 weeks ago

You made the impossible possible. A huge step for GP4! I've already run GP4 with 22 individual cockpits and it works just fine. I hope to see a lot of mods in the future that make use of these awsome features!

if your files were added succesfully, you'll see an entry in gpxload.txt

Re: Introducing: GP4 Memory Access (by Carl_gpgames, Öggo and ZaZ) - 7 weeks ago

Folder Extender basically doesn't do anything but forcing GP4 to prioritize the files (or folders, which you can specify in foldercontent.ini) from the local directory over the files from the wads. It, however, doesn't change anything in the team, driver or filename strings. Example given: if you add something like car_mercedes_car1_lod_0.gp4, it won't be loaded because GP4 doesn

QuoteGP4Addicted Question: Does this app/tool allows the insertion of those csm damage.ini individual values outside csm? I think i have included all CSM tweaks to the database. You can download the CSV file and then import it (Database/CSV Import). The damage variables are in the physics_damage target file. You can write your modified values to the "value" field.

Re: Grand Prix 4 Installer [updated 17/01/2024] - 4 months ago

no wishful thinking. open f1graphics.cfg in your main gp4 directory and enter your prefered resolution. any 4k res works great. btw; do not install gp4 to the program files folder. use c:\infogrames\grand prix 4 or c:\grand prix 4 instead.

Re: nr_champ_races.cap - 5 months ago

you would have to change the entire structure of the code and the game itself to support 18 tracks, as everything is based on 17 tracks. i doubt it's enough to just add the filename of an 18th track in the exe. tracknames are starting from 0x245720 and dat's from 0x42941D. however, you can give it a try and let us know

Re: nr_champ_races.cap - 5 months ago

You must edit gp4.exe with a hex-editor. You can change the value at Offset 0x003C2E84 and write the new value as hex in binary format. More than 17 will not be possible though.

in the 2020 - 2022 this fix isn't necessary as it is already applied through patch.ini. it must be something else then, especially if you didn't have it before. magic data?

nice idea! many people run people GP4 on linux and wine. i tried it myself and it works just fine. try to add the d3d8to9 converter to your GP4-folder, maybe that helps (like that the game runs on dx9 - make sure to select "all" in gpxpatch CPU options):
