Well Dave, it was just the way i interpreted it. It just looked to me as if you were claiming you had better things to do in your life then create various tools etc, leave that for the suckers to create them for you. Ahhh crap, i think you know what i'm getting at. If people want to create for others and have the time, good on them, i dont have a problem with that! And thats theby whingr ron - Grand Prix 4

Gotta agree with F1 Master. Ive said it before, if you dont want this problem of newbies asking such questions in the future, FIX THE BLOODY PROBLEM!!! Obviously there is one, because this keeps happening! Make the FAQ etc stick out like dogs balls.

Sure. Its the Tuscani nissan from one of the Gp racing leagues. What i can find in his cars.wad file are 6 textures, Hi_tus_1 (2)(3).tex and tus_1(2)(3).tex. There are the car lod files (i gather the carshape files), one for each car , all original from Arrows thru to Williams (car_arrows_car1_lod_0.gp4). Hope this makes it clearer.by whingr ron - Grand Prix 4
An author was generous in giving me a car to download from his mod to my cars.wad. However i have issues in being able to do this. I understand how to use GPMaster and how to create cars.wads etc etc. The issue i have is that i simply cant swap this car over from his mod to my game. I have tried every conceivable combination: 1.

Wonder if someone could shed some light on something i might be doing wrong, some quirk in the game i dont know about, whatever it may be. Generally i set the game up using GP4 CC Editor and other utilities so the computer cars run at around the same pace as i do, so i dont bolt away from them. Things like, if they initially are quicker, reducing there wings, gears etc etc. Or i will reduce my oby whingr ron - Grand Prix 4

If for example the new MP4-9 has been made to slot into the "McLaren" position for the game, can it be changed to slot into the "Jordan" position? I tried this by changing all the associated file names to Jordan. I got the carshape but no textures. I figured that if the car has been designed to slot into the "Mclaren slot" as the MP4-9 has, then it cant be changedby whingr ron - Grand Prix 4

This car was entered in a painting competition. It has to be one of the best cars ive seen for GP4. Anybody know if this car is available for download and where? Ive searched everywhere (yep, including the search function on this site-know what a touchy subject that is!) yet cant find it. While im on the subject, anybody know if a Penske car is available?

Why not fix the problem by FIXING THE PROBLEM!!! Make it stick out like a pair of dogs balls with tag attached stating; "Please use the search button to try and resolve your problem before posting or we will send Fraulein Hilda around to probe your butt with nasty implements". That way, newbies wont get abused out of frustration when doing so, and likewise oldtimers wont get it back!by whingr ron - Grand Prix 4
Now there's something that would be different. We obviously can have damage to the car, but how about the driver? You can attack to your hearts content in a championship season with the knowledge that if you demolish the car in an accident, you can pick yourself up for the next race. However if you knew there was a possibility you could sustain an injury that would put you out for the nexby whingr ron - Grand Prix 4

Just a quickie for you editing gurus. What type of textures does GP4 use? WMF, DFX, ZBR, PCX, TIF, WPG, MAC, TGA, ICO, BMP, JPG, PNG, BMI, maybe HPGL. You see i would love to get PsP however the missus will string my nuts from the tree in the backyard if i buy another, well, what she calls "useless ****" for my computer.

Actually i did find something out. I downloaded a Ferrari from "Mr Evil" and he had this to say in his 'readme' text; "There is a problem with GP4's Ferrari alpha channels.

Ok thanks for your help people, much appreciated. However one other problem. Before i go any further my system specs. AMD Duron processor, 1.29ghz, 256 ram and a Geforce4 mx 440 graphics card.
