Re: Potato PC too weak for mods, need help building a basic one - 3 months ago
Thanks Noog I should have added that this is a 'Nostalgia GP4 project', to play the game on the laptop I used as my daily driver when I first bought it back in 2002. If you have a copy of a 2024/2025 performance file and can copy/paste it here, I'll try installing GPxPatch. Thanks!by blueoris - Grand Prix 4

Potato PC too weak for mods, need help building a basic one - 3 months ago
I'm currently stuck with the vanilla GP4 but want to create the most simple mod: change driver and team names Two questions: 1. How do I build a DNAMES.NAM file? Current thought is manual edit in GP4, then save it to file and reload when I want to apply the "mod" 2. Do you agree with these team name replacements, considering team takeovers and evolution from 2001 to 2025?by blueoris - Grand Prix 4

Patching quick race length in gp4.exe - 2 years ago
GPxPatch has an option to change the quickrace length in GPxSet. I think this value is set to 5% in the game. I decided to have fun and try to accomplish this by myself, but couldn't identify a string or something related to this parameter in the GP4.exe that I could change to a different value, say 20%. I was trying to do something similar to what TomMK did in this post Any ideasby blueoris - Grand Prix 4

decrypting and patching game .exe - 3 years ago
Are there instructions on how to decrypt / patch the official gp4.exe so to remove the CD verification? I know there is a GP4_1.02_nocd.zip by Lo2k in this site, but I'd like to do it myself for leaning purposes. Similar instructions are around to manually patch other games executable like gtr2 etc, so I was hoping to find some information for gp4.by blueoris - Grand Prix 4
Re: No more F1 for me (current at least) - 4 years ago
Yes, politics is crap, but for me is that F1 races are becoming more and more like a private school weekend sport event for rich kids/millennials to drive expensive cars around a track.by blueoris - F1

Re: DTM MOD 2015 - RELEASED - 7 years ago
Great mod, thanks to the authors, rracunis and all persons involved on it. I see this mod has multiple files: 1. DTM MOD 2015 version 0.1 2. DTM MOD 2015 version 0.2 3. DTM MOD 2015 version 0.3 4. DTM MOD 2015 - Update In my rush, I didn't put enough attention to all these files and simply downloaded #2 (DTM MOD 2015 version 0.2) and went ahead and installed.
