Hi!
I have a little problem, the curbstones get a little deformated near the end of the
curbstones. They have a certain width, but near the end, they seem to widen all of
a sudden. Anyone know why, how, and how to solve that?

Hi Martijn
I've noticed this a long time ago.
I think this must be a GP2 standard thing. Make the kerb a bit longer... :-)
PS: Congratulations for your wonderful tracks.
Posted by Filou from 195.238.6.42:
Hi again!
I've forgot this when replying: I also noticed that there are two different behaviours:
a type of kerb widden, and another tighten at the end, and the textures and positions
of the "intermediate" part also change. So I think there must be a sort
of "reinitialize values of kerb at default definitions at the end".
What do you think of that? To test, you could put different textures for the two
parts of a kerb, and then watch what happens in the game, and also compare the width
at the end with the width when you remove the "kerb definition A/B" cmds
in TE ...

Hi!
I tried to simulate a downforce-less car on my new track. Has anybody got any experience
in this? So far I have got the following influences:
Acceleration = engine power
air resistance
track grip
the 0xD2 "track grip"
Now, the 0xD2 is more of a "normal force multiplier" than a "track
grip" multiplier. This is evident when you make a little jump; when 0xD2 = low,
you get 4 wheels into the air, but when 0xD2 is high, then the car stays glued to
the track. And this is obviously related to the normal force.
So 0xD2 influences the normal force. The normal force consists of a "mechanical"
part, which dependents on the gravitational pull on the car, and a "downforce"
part, which is speed-depenand, and therefore air-resistance related. I think the
0xD2 influences the total normal force, when you set it low, you don't have any grip
at all, not when you're going slow (mechanical grip), nor when you're fast (downforce).
If you set 0xD2 very high, you can corner at 350kph with the two inner-wheels off
the tarmac, like the old Citroen Duck (2CV)
So I can get a car without downforce, by setting the air-resistance zero. That works
OK, but on any straight, the car goes easily to 400kph, as there isn't anything to
stop the car from accelerating. I can set the "acceleration" to less, but
still there won't be any less accelerating when you approach high speeds. So this
doesn't work either.
Has anybody got anymore tricks in the big hat?
Posted by Knuckles (brett_knuchel@geocities.com) from 202.139.12.82:
The only other factors I can think of that could help you would be gear ratios and
car weight.
Posted by Ian Hill (ianhill@crosswinds.net) from 131.111.8.68:
This is just a guess but have you tried multiplying the track grip by say 100 and
dividing the D2 by the same amount.

look in the trackeditor under cc-setup. there you will have many parameters to chose

Posted by Filou (filou@pop.multimania.com) from 195.238.26.22:
Hi
Air resistance only affects player car, Acceleration affects both player and cc cars,
and track grip also affects both, but in a different way (try to set it at 127, then
drive with your car, it's fun, but the CCs will have some grip problems :-)

I think this was mentioned, but I seemed to have forgotten if it was. How is it possible

I need to know, cause the track I'm doing has a very abrassive and bumpy surface.
Thanx,

Posted by addie from 194.191.82.13:
the “bumpiness” of the track could be determined by the “bump table” in the TE. go
into the track tree, there to the track-config section and there to various-data-blocks.
there at the end you see the “bump table”. you see a sequence of offset and “bump-value”
lines. the offset means offset to s/f line and the bump-value gives the new “bumpiness
starting at the given offset. this value is valid until the next change ...
although i’m not sure whether the very abrasiveness of the tyres is affected by this
value also ?! any more ideas ?
Posted by µartijn from 145.94.124.79:
Yes, many more ideas.
You can change the tyre-type to "D" to make them wear faster.
You can change the gravitational pull of the earth by adding a 0xD2, to compensate
for the increased tyregrip. You can change the "track grip" in the CCsetup,
to do some unknown changes (please report).

I am fine tuning Reims and have encountered a problem with Fuel. Since most of the
lap is done over 200 mph, fuel consumption is much higher than the default track
(Estoril) used. In a quick race, the player and cc's ran out of fuel four laps before
the finish.
For example, on a 13 lap quick race, the player starts with 14.9 gallons, which only
lasted 9 laps. I believe that this can be adjusted in GP2edit, but I would like to
set up the track properly so everyone doesn't have to use GP2edit just to race Reims.
I have looked at the cc settings, and there is the amount of fuel setting, but does
anyone know the best solution to adjust this for bot the cc's and the player from
within the TE?
Thanks, Bob

Hi Bob
Have your tried a test in another slot .
each slot has each own distance multiplier ,If it varies from one slot to another
, might give a clue.
I've seen this before , a releast track some time ago .
But only worried about palyer's car , changed the fuel load of pit strat.

Posted by Ian Hill (ianhill@crosswinds.net) from 194.83.240.43:
As far as I can tell, the fuel amount thing in the "CC setup" affects the
player car as well.
HTH, sorry if I'm wrong
Ian
Posted by µartijn from 145.94.124.79:
Can't believe the answers... anyway, Bob, simply press "correct fuel load"
at CCsetp, and then raise the value by ~1000 or so. Test the track, look whether
you use about 1 lap of fuel a lap. If not, raise or lower it a little. That's it.
Posted by Bob Culver from 204.151.114.9:
I am trying the cc fuel adjustment, but so far I haven't noticed any change. The
player car still starts the race with 14.9 laps of fuel (sorry, it wasn't gallons)
and consumption still seems to be at the same rate. Les, I am using slot 11, so I
will try slot 12 (Monza) which might prove to have better consumption.
This might only be a problem in the quick race mode, since the adjustments for a
full race seem to be more flexible. The player can at least make another pit stop,
but I want to make sure the cc's don't run out of fuel.
What happens now is that the cc's actually make it to the pits, but there is no fuel
left in the tank in the pits!

If the player and the CC's use fuel up at different rates (depends on things like
air resistence and amount of wing you have set) then adjust the fuel for the CC's
if they use more fuel because the human player can adjust their strategy, if the
player uses more fuel then adjust it for the player as the CC's will simply have
more fuel in their tank when they stop.

Thanks to Martijn, my CC's now have enough fuel to finish the race. But now I would
like to change the length of the race. Again, I know I can do this using GP2edit,
but I would like to create a default track that has the proper number of laps for
the venue. I have tried in both locations in the TE where you can adjust the number
of laps. Neither one (the Track information and the miscellaneous data section) seemed
to change the number of laps. I am still getting the default for the slot (using
#11, which is 44 laps). I suppose if I used another slot, I would get the default
number of laps for that slot as well, which might be one way to increase the number
of laps. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks, Bob
Posted by µartijn from 145.94.124.79:
Yes, GP2edit is the only way to change the actual #laps in a race. Best thing to
do (IMHO) is to advise to use a slot that has the same #laps as your track.
I, at least, never change the amount of laps in GP2edit, just for a single customtrack.

its not (yet) possible to generate a gp2-track from the scratch. you have to take

there are still unknowns in trackediting ...

I was working on a trial oval track where the s/f line is
in the middle of a curve and couldn't get the cc-line to begin
in 90 degree angle with the the s/f-line, which I wanted.
I found the cc line startX and startX (high) in the track config tree.
I tried to change value in the (high) part and suddenly the cc-line was gone
in GP2 but not in the TE. What do the values do?
Posted by Bob Culver (culverr@bigplanet.com) from 204.151.114.18:
Was the cc line gone in the TE display or did it just not show up you tried to drive?
Posted by Malcolm Mitchell from 195.147.246.145:
I've had it before when it seems to disapear for a bit (the visual display of the
line itself) but it will still work, and then it reapears again, at the same place
on each lap.
It's annoying, because one of the ocassions when it happens, it happens right at
the turn in point of the corner :-(
Anyone have any quick fixes for that? I've been unable to so far, if you need the
track, ask Augusto Dewey for permission!
Mikael, in the track config, those numbers aren't where you should input the data.
If you go to the CC Line menu, and then click on CC Line start position, that's where
you inut it.
There are no exact numbers that can be used universally in any track file, they need
to be changed depending on the layout, etc.
If you look at tracks that have the line start right along the left side of the track,
they're all over 1000 I think, so if you type in that value, see where the line turns
out, and then add/minus 100 or whatever, until it's where you like it. I don't know
what the usual value is for lines starting on the right, as there aren't many that
do (Sao Paulo) but I've never done one that side.
Btw, I think the (High) one in the track config menu is an Unk, isn't it?
Hope that helps.

Malcolm Mitchell
Posted by Mikael Olsson from 195.67.244.243:
To Bob's question I have to say that it looks in the game like there is no cc-line
at all, just like it does when you hve removed the complete cc-line in the TE.
Maybe I have to define the problem from the beginning. When I started I removed the
cc-line and started to build some sections together with a suitable angle.
The thing was that the cc-line moved directly in an angle about 45 degrees to the
right directly after the s/f line. It had nothing to do with how much to
each side the cc-line was moved to. That's why I was looking to the Track Config
section.
I will try to mess around and see if I can find any solution to this myself. If I
do I'll let everyone know.
Posted by jason hope (jason_hope@yahoo.com) from 209.104.76.93:
i think it has to do with the track section being to sharp. I know that when teh
cc-line was done for my new montreal, the cc-line would not show up at the hairpin
because the angle was too sharp. What I did, was reduce the amount of track sections,
and slowly the cc-line re-appeared.
hope this helps
Jason hope
oh yeah, does anyone know how to increase the abrasiveness of the track surface,
so tyres wear out a little quicker. Montreal is known for that!!!
Posted by Bob Culver from 159.37.7.254:
There are several possibilities for this.
The first could be that the overall length of the cc line is too long. When that
happens, the beginning segments are overwritten by the segments that are too long.
What happens is that the cc line data is corrupted. and your line doesn't show up
until after the overwritten segments. Since you can't see the beginning, you may
have altered the angle, or starting position that throws the allignment off.
The second case has to do with the X & Y settings and the starting angle. Since
the TE displays the first part of the line correctly, you should be able to get placement
visually. However I have also experienced this where the cc line displays ok in the
TE, but it is gone when you drive. Try going into the TE and select refresh tree.
It was either that or some other command that then displayed the location properly
after an adjustment. I also seem to recall that the improper display was also saved.
So try this and see if it helps.
Also, make sure you don't have any of the odd cc line commands. I do not have access
to the TE right now, but I believe that the odd ones are the 80 commands or the 120.
Can anyone provide that information?

It was the textures being garbled - resized them back to 128x32, then they were OK.
Sorry for troubling you - I tried to do something the wrong way around - now I know
you use the number of repeats and length in the texture chooser to adjust the aspect
ratio, not adjust the jam texture dimensions.
Thanks for your time.

Posted by addie from 194.191.82.13:
as for the garblet textures:
be sure you work with the latest version of the jameditor of mal ross. there you
load the jam and then doubleclick the certain texture and then opens the “texture
properties” window. in the lower part of this window you see a bunch of flags called
“other properties”. their you have to check “Don’t optimise height” or “Don’t optimise
width” depending on what value, height or width, of your texture is not a so-called
binary number (a multiple of 2; 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc.)

"of your texture is not a so-called binary number (a multiple of 2; 2, 4, 8,
16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc.) "
What do you mean by that? Does that need a different flag?
BTW my newest creation has a JAMfile that's really weird. When I want to import a
texture into a certain part, the Jameditor crashes all the time. So it's an unchangable
JAmfile.
Posted by addie from 194.191.82.13:
i assume you know which two flags i mean ...
now everytime the width or the height of a textures is NOT a, hm, well, figure 2,
4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc. whatever its called, you have to check the
appropriate flag. see original jams for reference ...
as for importing bmps, a few weeks ago i also ran into the same problem you mentioned
and i tried to get in touch with mal ross with this but he didnt answer so far ?!
i wouldnt call it “unchangable jamfile”. its probably just a little bug in the importing
routine in the JE. unlike with the format of the trackfile, there is no more mystery
in the format of the jamfile as far as i know ...

If you would reply or read some of MY posts ,
You would know that the JE bug is quite old ( Ver 3&4 )It was reported to John

I heard from Mal about 6 weeks later & he wanted an example .
Told him , " it was so long ago " I could not rember the specifics ,
But recently I ran across this problem once again .
You should try the " canvas/bmp " import with GP2Edit ,
Again anyone confirm whether you can import the stock mont_ads1.bmp into the stock
GP2 jam with the newer JE's
I think this one is the same as your problem . works in GP2Edit & not in the
JE's
Thanx Les
Posted by µartijn from 145.94.124.79:
Thta's right, the export/import canvas (= all textures,) worked fine.
Another thing that was strange with this JAMfile was that I couldn't click the "don't
optimize height/width" boxes, the click would'nt stick, and they would reset
each time to blank.
But I got what I wanted now, thanks guys

times, even just making a straight pitlane on the track. The grass you see is the
default verge texture, which when you remove the fence, that appears. If anyone has
been able to figure this out, please let us know.
Posted by Fat Rat from 207.194.25.191:
Possible work around
try using a transparent default grass verge & asign another one for the actual

you'll have to have some , invisable walls for the pitlane to work .
Just make them as short as possilbe , you may not get all the stalls in though

Hello guys,
I have done some research to kerb placement and discovered some things I didn't knew
before.
When setting a 0x8e or 0x8f command, this command applies to the rest of the track,
or until another 0x8e or 0x8f command is found (not just one kerb).
Kerb Type A:
* A kerb of this type can be only one segment long.
* When the segment is curved, it will go from the start of the track to the end of
the track.
* When the segment is straight, it will follow the rules of the 0x8e (or 0x8f) command;
it will start at the a2 value and runs until the a3 value OR the end of the track-segment
when a2+a3 is bigger than the length of the segment.
* When the a2 value is bigger then the length of the segment the kerb will not show
up at all (of course unless the segment is curved).
Kerb Type B:
* A kerb of this type always follows the 0x8e/f command.
When you apply a kerb before a 0x8e or 0x8f command is given, GP2 will use a 'default'
command with a2=1 and a3=12.

Hi!
I just drove some of the original tracks, and I made the following observation when

Now I noticed the opposite (a widening curbstone in the end) some time ago, on my
own track.
And guess what? Found the "logic" behind this...
The B-type curb will, in the first and last unit, change width to the form of the
A-type curb!!
The roll-on and roll-off height is always zero, BTW.

Hi,
If i am not mistaken, the original Imola did the same at the inside of Tosa, the
first hairpin, it changes from one type to another with no joins, i haven't looked
into this, but i am sure it does it.

This might seem like a simple question, but how do you put in bumps on the road?
Is it just inserting 0x94 with a high value? And does this give you a single or multiple
bumps.

whathever 0x94 does, it has nothing to do with bumps as far as i know.
if you want to adjust the bumpyness of a track you could do this in the “bump-table”
in the “track-config” section in the track-tree. go to “various data blocks”. in
the 2nd half of the block you have the table.
if you had very bad bumps you also could do them with small tracksectors with huge
gradient changes.
i hope its useful info

Hi,
Just spent some time fiddling with track grip and air resistance, and I found some
interesting things.
1. track grip seems to change not only track grip but also how consistently the cc's
run.
For example; Adalberto's Monaco, the cc's are quick for the first half of their stint,
but after 15 or so laps start to slow down and by the end of their stint are dropping
2 1\2 sec's a lap. The player on the other hand tend to start a bit slower but only
loses 1\2 to 1 sec a lap toward the end of the stint, therefore becoming quicker
than the cc's from about halfway through the stint. (This true for all versions od
Monaco, by the way). I found that by dropping track grip to 61 the cc's were very
consistent throughout the stint, running lap times within about 1\2 sec. of each
other.
2. The problem with this is it changes the player car as well, the track becomes
slipperier, but if you are carefull you will be quicker than the cc's.
3. To change this I found that by lowering the Air resistance to 2 lower than track
grip ie. TG=61 AR=59
this helps the cc's more than the player car, so it becomes competitive again. As
a matter of fact these setting seem to make the race difficult for me( which is what
we want I think).
4. None of these settings change the cc's setup, you can still run the same gear
ratios and wing angles.
I tried these changes on my Nurburgring track and found that I was running about
1\2 to 1 sec slower than the fastest cc car, where as with the stock setting of 64-64-64
I was just as quick and quicker after about 1\3 race distance. Also these settings
give the car that "99 feel", a bit more greasy and you have to be more
carefull about your driving.
Any way, some of you already know this, but for those who d'ont I thought I would
pass it along.
Thanks, Derek
