Nope, it was just a test but if you want it, i can put it on my site. >Reny : I don't really understand, do you have a photo showing the white effect ? I suppose you wanted to say that broken engines often spread a huge white smoke. I agree with that but some times, smoke become in fire too and that's the case i work on. The white smoke anyhow would appear for some other failures inby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
No, sorry but i can't change the GP4 failure's system, the only thing i changed is texture used when engine is broken.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Another test I am playing around is Engine in fire. Nice but in that case i will need to hide the original small fire i think.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
i don't know if have a hit of perf with bump mapping on because i play in 1600*1200 with near everything on (except video walls) and run fine at 25fps but i think it's thanks to the GeForce 4 TI4200 128Mb.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yes, sorry but you need to turn bump mapping on.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
I don't know for you, but I was a bit frustrated of all those picts of F1 2002 tracks with fine detailed tarmac. So i decided to take a look at what we can do with GP4. Result is just there : I think the quality is far enough now The good news is that i release that texture here: the bad is that you need to patch each track wad, but it's not so long after get used to do the operatiby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
After taking a look, you don't need any special editor. Just open the file your folder\GP4\MenuData\PC\2001\GP_2001_Your language.gps and edit it with wordpad (just search the string you want to change). That's simple as that.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yep, but i don't know any editor wich does the job for gp4, but there's maybe one, else i can do one if noone did it elsewhere.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
At my known, you can't edit bik files, you can only create new ones, creating any avi animation then convert it to bik with the tool i told you in my firt post.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
There's one thing to avoid when GPxpatch has been installed: After installation, GPxPatch doesn't create any shortcut on the desktop. If you don't take care, could do a copy and paste of gpxpatch executable from the gp4 folder to your desktop. In that case, Gpxpatch will search GP4 in the "desktop" folder. The only good way to do a shortcut is really to right-clic on theby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Hmm, menus are no more statics in GP4... so if you want to change anims, you will need to do an anim and compress it with bink (www.radgametools.com) then to replace original animation (with .bnk format). If you want to change sliding patterns on top of anim, you can use Carset Creator if Jon as added the gpi import/export function we developped together. Finally, if you want to change track imagby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Nope, it has something to go with your texture filtering... if you put the f1graphics file as used for all options, deactivate it to give a try. Else, look at your texture filtering options, whether in the f1graphics.cfg or in the display panel...by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
As usual, cut and paste your f1graphics.bat in another folder and run GP4, if it runs, you will need to re-define all your options. Else, keep your f1graphics.bat and ecrase your gp4.exe (you can make a backup before) with a save of the decrypted exe and try again. This matter comes at 90% with one of these two files which has been "corrupted" noone knows why.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yep, a really great buy. Everything at max at 1600*1200*32bit at about 30fps and around 100 PO for me. (with an Athlon 2000+ to helpby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yep, you need to use only one axe for accel/brake instead of split axes if you use original GP4 to avoid these silly blinking selection. In case you use the patch, you will need to use split axes to avoid the bug, pretty funby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yes, i saw what you mean but i can't do better for now... This problem seems to be linked to details parameters so if you change then you might surely saw the car but i can't tell you how as i hadn't the time to really understand the meaning of these parameters.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
A third solution is to use split axes for your steering wheel, it appears to be the inverse bug of the original gp4 (split axes was causing the bug and using only one solved it)by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
You're perfectly right, mortalwombat, I'm also fed up of all these silly messages about bugs, errors, faults, strangeness and else happening in GP4. YES, we all know GP4 has many troubles and YES we all would enjoy if they are less bugs in the game. BUT the game is as it is. Now, you have two choice, whether you like this game, in general, for any reason of your choice (i personnaly haby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Hmm, about cars jumping out the heat haze wall, i just want to advertise you that there's a special line in the f1graphics which increase numbers of heat haze walls, creating a more fading effect (and of course using more resource also) when cars are runing to the camera. Can't remember the line name but its name has "heathaze" in it.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
There's nothing to be hugelyexcited as the buglist on driving italia is very poor and bad half the list enumerate bugs they (if it's really an infogramme list) didn't recreate and can't fix : / And i can't see anything about the major 2D skymessage slowdown bug which is too visible and painfull to be omit...I really hope it's an hoax.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yep, my Thustmaster FFB wheel don't work either with GP4 with separate axes for accell/brake. So if ever you have them separate, just disabled them and use only 1 axe. It's a little less accurate but at less Gp4 works perfectly.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Yep, i had these with my audigy some month ago but it was a driver issue so i just stand with my old driver for a while (but GP4 wasn't released yet so i didn't need to have less POby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Else i can send you a file that will make invisible only the track display (if you want to keep other arcade infos...by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
and does anyone get's alpha too (as i tweaked alpha layer for GP4 mainview in f1graphics and fsscreen don't capture the alpha layer...) I suppose that Hypersnap DX can do it maybe... Anyone knows ?by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Hmm, you can maybe also only check create or modify date of tex files inside the wad if they are saved when they are wadded...by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
"thats thanks to me and Lauri spending about 4 hrs on a design :D thank him, not me for the GUI, he is the best artist ive seen who does it for free :D" ...untill nowby Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
Hmmm, strange. As Dumbass said, try to clic on default then Export and retry the game to see if original cameras at less had come back. If it's ok, then you can check the gp4form where i advice that values must be between -32768 and 32767 apart for rotationnal values. But don't worry about this, i will correct it in the next version.by Lo2k - Grand Prix 4
