Problem with some tracks

[Riccardo Failla]

Hi,
I'm waiting for 2012 tracks links, so by this time I downloaded some 2011 & 2010 tracks, from this forum.
Usually I install tracks with TSM but I don't like it, so this time I tried to install tracks following the "README" instructions:

Make a backup of your original file montreal2001.wad
Make a backup of your original file s1ct08.dat
Make a backup of your original file Track8.bmp


Copy montreal2001.wad in your main grandprix4 directory.
Copy s1ct08.dat in your grandprix4\circuits directory.


My track order is this one:

1. Melbourne - Australia (OK)
2. Sepang - Malesia (OK)
3. Shanghai - Cina (KO) I called it interlagos2001.wad & S1CT03.DAT
4. Istanbul Park - Turchia (KO) imola2001.wad & S1CT04.DAT
5. Catalunya - Spagna (OK)
6. Monte Carlo - Monaco (OK) a1ring.wad & S1CT06.DAT
7. Montréal - Canada (KO)
8. Valencia - Europa (KO)
9. Nurburgring - Germania (OK)
10. Spa-Francorchamps - Belgio (OK)
11. Monza - Italia (OK)
12. Marina Bay - Singapore (KO)
13. Suzuka - Giappone
14. Yeongam - Sud Corea
15. New Delhi - India
16. Yas Marina - Abu Dhabi
17. Interlagos - Brasile

Unfortunately, in some case, I had to change the name of .wad file & number of .dat file due to have tracks in this order.
I tried to play and some tracks crash after the loading, but I can't understand why. Can anyone explane me where is the matter?
Thank you.

No se si he entendido bien el problema.
Dices que renombras el .wad y el .dat ¿Solo eso? ¿No renombras los ficheros de dentro del .wad?
Se puede hacer manual o usar esta aplicación:

You must be registered for see links

Últimamente utilizo la aplicación, es mas cómodo

Una vez tengas modificado el .wad hay muchos .dat que en la info contienen info del circuito al que ha de ir a buscar .wad es tan fácil como eliminar el comentario.

Abres el .DAT con GP4 Builder.
- Doble click en Track Sectors
- Doble click en Initial Sector
- Se abre una ventana --> Show GP4 Infos extended data
- Wad Name, eliminar el nombre que aparezca

I do have the same problem. I have just replaced the Melborne.wad and 01.DAT with the new files from 2012 and straight after the main menu (when selecting Australia for a race) my GP4 crashes. I followed the explanations from the readme step by step. Don't know what's the problem, because when I use the old Melborne files from season 2001 everything runs fine... Maybe someone knows where the problem is. Thank you!

I have a problem with the singapore 2010 track. I got a freeze after about 12 Laps. I still hear the sound of the engine freezing on the same revs and the picture freezes. Only thing I can do is go into the taskmanager and stop gpxpatch and gp4.exe. this happens too with the great abu dhabi track.

does anybody know how to fix this?
