Re: Need Zaz Tools help please. - 2 days ago
Firstly, for goodness sake uninstall WinRAR from your PC this instant!! Then download ZAZ Tools from this very site. It is a .zip file which needs no 3rd party software to extract the setup.exe file.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: 2015 mod made by GP4 Central? - 13 days ago
Yeh that's nice, I like the re-org, thanks Matteo. I really must sort out the Mods formatting, I'm so lazy I just left the web server "file manager" show the files. I want to replicate the way GP4DB does it but I just have no time at the moment. I will get to it one day...by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Interesting! As usual, more good MD research What happens if you take it to the extreme and put a crazy big (or small) value?by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: New Users. Useful tip. The Bellini Patch. - 5 weeks ago
Here's a little easter egg involving the Player grip value - try setting this to a very low value, say 0 or 100, and watch the AI behaviour. It shows that this "Player" value is still involved in the AI performance in some way. That's not to negate the usefulness of it in the way Noog describes. It's just interesting (well I think so anyway!)by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: Rain bug? - 5 weeks ago
Which track are you using? Possibly the track Magic Data is bugged? Send me a link and I'll have a look? Does this happen on the original 17 tracks for you?by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: How did you discover Grand Prix 4? - 6 weeks ago
Came home one day in 1993(?) to find my dad driving this incredible-looking game on our Amiga A600. I asked to have a go, but insisted on only driving free practice mode because I was scared of the other cars. That was F1GP and I've played every installment obsessively since then. I even play against the other cars now.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: Cars 9, 10 and 21 won't change helmets [Solved] - 2 months ago
Got it to run, but there are more changes than just the 9,10,21 helmets. E.g. camera settings were changed. So I wouldn't recommend using this .exe as it is, it's not clear what else has been changed from the original.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: best 18 tracks with best cc line - 2 months ago
It's because the browser makers have (wrongly) detected GP4 Tweaker Reloaded v1.045 as malware because of the way it injects code into GP4.exe. I've given up trying to persuade them it's a false positive and so have just recently removed that download from the site. The warnings should be removed once my application to the browser makers to review the site again gets processed.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: Desperate with white textures in cars - 2 months ago
If the original game is showing white cars then you have an external issue, possibly a bad or corrupt installation. Follow these instructions and see if that fixes it.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: best 18 tracks with best cc line - 2 months ago
I think I'm pretty good at CC-Lines and whenever I post Tracks to GP4 Central I tend to update the CC-Line myself so check these out.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Incredible how it can still stand against the competition. It's a great mod, and Jorge's track updates are really fantastic - we're very lucky. Thanks for the video!by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: GP4 Central - Hotlaps Season 6 - 8 months ago
Lamentably there's not much interest in the hotlaps competition this time around so I'm going to postpone the remaining events until sometime next year. Stay tuned, we will be back, just taking a short break.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: How to adjust AI/Player car acceleration at the start of race? - 8 months ago
I wouldn't be surprised if there's some weird legacy behaviour in the "multi-driver" mode you're using that isn't patched by GPxPatch - it's not a commonly used mode I think. Maybe something Rene can take a look at if he sees this. But I would conduct your experiments using single player mode with GPxPatch set to the "new behaviour", it's a "known good" testing envirby TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: Problem with AI's braking - 8 months ago
It's the physics file that causes this problem, it has been discussed before. Try looking at, for example, the GP4 Central 2018 Mod, which does not have this issue.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: How to adjust AI/Player car acceleration at the start of race? - 9 months ago
Certainly seems like you're on to something. I guess the next step is to go to the extreme ends of the ranges and really confirm whether there is something in these values that causes a Player vs AI difference. Ideally I'd want to engineer a situation where it's actually harder for the Player off the line than in the original game, because the AI can be over-cautious into T1 and there's alwaysby TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: Gp4 slowdown with windows 10 - 9 months ago
Good advice Neil thanks. This is something that is easily added to any CSM mod by adding the Remove2GBLimit.cap file to the Data/Patch folder - highly recommended to anyone using CSM. I include it as part of every GP4 Central mod as standard.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4

Re: [GP4] Low-End PC Mod - 9 months ago
QuoteCaOss Only 20 pilots recognize me I don't think any of the F1 drivers would recognize me!! There were only 20 drivers in 2016, that is why there are 20 drivers in the 2016 mod. Were you expecting more or less?by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: GP4 tweaker - 9 months ago
I have no major issues on Windows 10. But I'm curious about whether a modern GP4 mod can be done without Tweaker so I'm going to experiment with that...by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
Re: GP4 tweaker - 9 months ago
Have you tried the GP4 Central version of GP4? It does not require installation and comes pre-packaged with the 9.6 patch, decrypted no-cd .exe and GPxPatch, ready to go. Using that I have no problems at all on Windows 10.by TomMK - Grand Prix 4
