Sorry if this has been discussed before but does anyone know if there is a good version of the Valencia track available that doesn't have the problem of the cars disappearing at turn one for a second or so? - is there a way to fix this problem? - hope someone can helpby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
glad you've figured out how to show the ideal line Radolek, i'm going to try and figure it out using the help that's been given (thanks Lo2k)by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
If possible could you explain where to look in the gp4 file and dat file from the track with the ideal line so I'd know what to look for, gp4 builder is a complicated tool when you're not used to it, any help from anyone would be appreciatedby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I know most of the new gp4 tracks that are made don't have the option to show the ideal line on the track like the original tracks did and I was wondering if it was possible to include this in the track wad files. I only ask because I'm using a 2005 version of Montreal which shows the line but would like to update to using a newer version of the track and they all don't show the liby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
you need to use gp4tweaker to adjust the position of the driver's helmet and probably steering wheel and t-cam view as the settings for this car seem a lot different to others - you could try these setings - t-cam view - y 0.5700 z -0.5000 helmet - y 0.0700 z 0.0100 steer - y -0.0800 z 0.3100by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Hope problems with mirrors and cars not showing full textures when not selected during a race can be fixed - would make this one of the best carsby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
great car but yes I noticed a problem with the mirrors in t-cam view as wellby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
you can use gpi browser to convert the tga files to gpi - it's a fairly easy programme to use and it's ideal for updating grid cars and team artby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Surely someone helping people to keep tracks up to date by using their own time to add a few new tex files doesn't deserve to be called stupid - maybe just point out that he could say who's track he has up-dated - also considering his English isn't very good I'm sure a better choice of words could have been used. Maybe it's just me but anyone using their time to make anytby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Just wanted to know if anything was ever done about a second car for the mp4-25 by Igla or did anyone take it on and complete it. I would also like to know if David34 would be willing to share his version of the 2010 Mclarenby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I'm using the following wheel settings in gp4tweaker for the Ferrari - FR 0.6910 -0.2292 1.1440 FL -0.7010 -0.2292 1.1440 RR 0.7100 - 0.2294 -1.7820 RL -0.7100 -0.2294 -1.7820 hope they are ok for youby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
thanks a lot for that - tried it and worked first time -by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I found a few items about tracks but couldn't find this particular tutorial, could you point me in the right direction?by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I've downloaded a Bahrain track which is numbered circuit 4 and comes with the Imola track wad, I was wondering if there is a way to rename any of the files so that I could replace either the A1 ring track or Hockenheim with the new track instead of Imola or is there another programme I can use to edit the files so this can be done? hope someone can helpby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
thanks a lot for the quick reply and help - managed to get it sorted out - not so difficult when you know how! - thanks againby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I'm not too familiar with GP4 builder so could you explain exactly how to do this - I have at the moment the minardi car lods linked to MG1 - MG4 tex files in Mercedes livery - how do I re-name and use these tex files to hi_JPS.tex files after I've changed the livery using tga files so I can use them with arrows car lods? - sorry to have to ask but these programmes are a bit daunting whby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Apologies if the answer to this is easy but I'd like to know how to design and name texts so that you can use the same car shape with different liveries. For example I've downloaded the excellent ppit Mercedes car which has a template included and .tex files MG1 - MG4. I like the car-shape and would like to create my own JPS Lotus livery to use alongside the Mercedes but obviously I canby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Another great update - but like the Redbull update, the front wing seems to be too low to the ground, other than that, it looks really good in-gameby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
The Mercedes car is great - but i've noticed one thing that i don't think the actual car has - (maybe I'm wrong as nobody has pointed it out) - the Petronas logo on the sidepods doesn't have the extra white shadow on the letters, I think they should be just plain black - other than that and the other changes mentioned by josekast previously it's a brilliant carby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for the link but i'd seen that version which is more gold than black - i'd tried making a more accurate black JPS livery for that car but there was so mush shine and reflection on the car that i wasn't too keen on it - so just waiting for a different version. I've got a livery on a 2008 car which I use now but I would like to update to a 2010 car at some point - thanksby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
How about a black JPS Lotus livery? - get it brought up to date on a new shape carby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
ok thanks for the quick reply - is it just a case of replacing the laps value in the gp4info file or are there other things to change? -- i'm just asking because i've checked a couple of other Melbourne dat files and they both have various other information labels but no track has the same set of labels - just don't want to mess the track up!by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I've managed to find a 2009 Melbourne track to use which isn't perfect but it's good enough but there is one curious problem which I wondered if any track makers might have an answer to. - I run the game with a quickrace percentage of 20 which in other Melbourne tracks means the race is over 12 laps, but with the 2009 track for some reason it calculates 8 laps! does anyone know ifby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I'm trying out gpxpatch and am having difficulty changing the hud display with some of the various 2009/2010 versions people have made. I see the TAG time dipslays with driver names and lap time displays or position in the race in the screenshots but not many of the downloads have installation instructions or details of what settings to change. I'm left with the yellow and blue name barby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I like to use tracks which still have the ideal line showing (not many of the new tracks do) and i did find a Melbourne 09 track at but it won't run without gpxpatch - will just have to keep updating the .tex files for the new advertising etc and maybe wait for the codemasters game which hopefully will be as realistic as GP4. On the subject of gpxpatch which I have tried but get frustraby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
As I don't use gpxpatch, i just wanted to know if anyone knows a way to use the new layout Melbourne track in gp4 - the game crashes to the desktop or when you enter the pits the car goes through the pitwall and back onto the track. This is obviously due to the layout change but is there a version of the track or a fix to get the 2009 track working? - any help would be appreciatedby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
thanks a lot - i've done as you suggested and will keep the old gp4 nocd exe to use with gp4master - no problem with your English, thanks for the adviceby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
thanks for the quick reply - problem solved - much appreciated - regarding the helmets does anyone have a workaround or patch file to get gp4master working with the patched gp4 exe?by neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
I've only recently patched gp4 so i'm sorry if these problems have been answered some time ago - but here goes. Does anyone know of a way to get gp4 master working with the patched gp4 - i've read about an update file but can't find a link. Also i've updated all the helmets for the drivers and helmet shape but since patching the game, the 2 drivers in the old BAR team sloby neilcaine - Grand Prix 4
