I've had this same problem in the past and I've found it very frustrating...I have come up with an alternative though using PSP and you dont even have to be ingame to do it! Basically you copy and paste the corresponding parts of your bmp into the right places and then plonk your tyres over the top...heres some of my results i get from cars from my gp3-2000 college mod: The onlyby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Okay, I've done a little more testing and moved the hires jams into a saparate folder than the normal ones. The game is working again with normal jams but as soon as I try to load the hi res ones the tracks just stop loading at halfway. I noticed that I didnt have any SW equivalent of the hi-res jams so I copied them over to the right directory in the sw jam folder but I cant seem to convertby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Hey there I've just tried to use hi-res helmets in gp3-2000 by using the existing bellini ones and just importing my own graphics. For those of you who want to know I'm using GPxPatch to load jam files from a different folder so none of the original game files have been overwritten. Basically what happens is that I load the game and a choose a track to race on...and then the track onby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
@ R0b3rt0_38, that helmet kinda reminds me of the design pedro diniz had with the arrow on the top, lol, I'm liking it though . Some of the designs on this thread are amazin n are worthy of being real f1 helmets, lol.by Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Just wanna say that these helmets looks amazing sniper, keep up the good work!by Fincent - Grand Prix 4
lol, do you have the addy for his site? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
I play gp3-2000 mostly and am curious about this soundset...it uses gpx-patch so my logic follows that it should work on older gp games aswell. lol, or am i completely off and its just a gp4 thing? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
After looking at Red Bull's PR stunt this weekend to advertise star wars I was wondering if it would be possible for someone in a future carset to paint the red bull pit crew and mechanics as stormtroopers and co? lol I know it sounds a bit wierd but then again...thats red bull eh? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Heya there I just completed watching a 100% distance race...in 20 lap sections every day that is, lol. And thats where the problem is...after loading up the game to continue the race I noticed that the pitstop counter had been reset. The counter I am on about is the one that you can see by pressing "9" and getting the standings/laptimes overlay. I know its not a major problem as iby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Here are some ingame shots that I've just taken using my carest n stuff to give you an idea what they're like. -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
lol, you think my work is okay? thanks people i sometimes have problems sending large files (it is kinda large cos of the layers and size n stuff) so to those people who have asked for me to mail them the file then follow this: I am now sending you the file (well, in 5 mins, lol). If you recieve an e-mail off me with an attachment then it's worked...if not then it obviously hasnt. If itby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Heya there I've been working on how to make a helmet template recently. I've always wanted to make my own and I've noticed a few posts about it recently aswell so I thought I'd give it a go. I know I'm definitely not the best graphics guy around here and there are many better modders than me but take a look at this if ya want and let me know what ya think. I made it inby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Okay will do I'll edit this post in about 10-15 mins once i get a good screenie. -Fincent EDIT: Here ya go EDIT2: And heres one of mine aswell that i've put some wheels on and filled in the missing texture bits that show up as red EDIT 3 (lol, last edit hopefully): I've just noticed that the cfg file only lets you use software jams for previews...just found thiby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I know i've foiund it...but its very very confusing and i'm having trouble understanding which bit goes where on the tyre (cos it seems as if all the seperate weather treads are placed next to each other n i cant tell where one stops and the next starts :S. Tis very confusing. Would you want me to post the actual file here as jpg so ya can try and interpret it? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Okay then...lol...does anyone know how I can make slick tyes myself? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Heya there Does anybody know where I can find some slick tyres to use for GP3-2000? I've had a look round and used the seacr facility n stuff and there i cant seem to find anything of use. Many thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Can you send me that file aswell please SupoerSonic please? daniel.finney@virgin.net Many thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Yea i agree, that heat haze looks cool but i guess its porlly edited in n not ingame (shame cos that would make the game soo good, lol). Also, I love the carshape you're using! What is it? btw, i've recently discovered the wonders of adobe (have used psp for years now) and have tried out a few effects on some screenies i took the other day from my GP3-2000 College mod...whaddya thinkby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I'm gonna have a few more screenies to post in the next few days...have not really been racing recently, more into designing and improving (ie. pit people n ingame logos etc) -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
How about a short podium sequence after the race? I remember playing superbike 2000 or something and after the race you would see the top 3 drivers actually on the podium clapping and spraying champagne and stuff. Just a thought really to make the game seem more 'human'. Also maybe instant failures? ie. a puncture or suspension failure that sends the car flying off track? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
Covfan, i know of exactly the file you are talking about...a new config file that tricks gp3 into HW mode...it transformed my life (well nearly, lol) in my GP3 days but then I got GP3 2000, installed it and found out HW mode was able to run without the file (yay). Should I try it with this file anyways? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I've just looked it up and apparently its an: "Intel(R) 810 Chipset Graphics Driver PV 2.1" Other system specs: Processor - Pentium 3 500mhz RAM - 256MB OS - Windows 98 Second Edition I use DirectX9 if that makes any difference? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Indeed i do: fin@kadair.org.uk Many thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Right I've had a play around with all the possible settings and combinations I could possibly think of and none of them are working! lol, aaagh. There must be an easier way. lol First person to solve this gets a tenner, lol (that was a jk btw, i'm not rlly that rich :p). -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Indeed I have Speed_Addict, if i switch this off what do i have to do to get transparency on my cars? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
I've tried this too and no luck but I can see what ya mean by copying over the cyan from a trackjam, lol, it makes sense as ya can get holes in the catch fencing so why not the car designs? I'll have a look at the flag properties in jamtool and have a play around but if someone could post a car design that includes transparency then that'd be a great help . -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
Here is a link to my other post on the gp3-2000 forum just so i dont clog up the gp4 area and confuse everybody, lol. Many thanks -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 4
I think its good to see Minardi doing something. They're always the team in the background that dont have the budget to advance and I think its great that they're bringing out a new car...i really hope it is a good advancement because they deserve the results for the effort that stoddy and the drivers in the past few years have put in. It wouldnt surprise me if they dedicate this car inby Fincent - F1
I've tried each of the 3 following segments for my "tranparent wing" car and none of them appear to be working. CYAN (0, 255, 255) BLACK (0, 0, 0) PINK (248, 0, 248) Any ideas? -Fincentby Fincent - Grand Prix 3
