Cars Ginetta GT4 SuperCup [Deleted]

[AlleyViper]

When you uploaded the first version that included skins it was named as "ginetta_gt4_supercup.rar". But the new update missing skins has also the exact same filename, but requires the skins previously packed.
Because of this one might replace one archived file with the newer by mistake, as the latest file isn't a standalone pack. The update file could be named ginetta_gt4_supercup_update.rar or similar. Sorry if it sounds confusing, or is a non-problem for most.

Edit: Anyway, it's cleaner for newcomers to your mod if you just repack the latest version with skins under a new clearly marked version (both on RD upload tag and filename, like ginetta_gt4_supercup_v1.1.rar).

He's got a point. If people don't already have the original version, where can they get the skins folder now?

 

[delpinsky]

Version January 29th: the preview png file is missing.

and skins folder missing as well.

 

[AlleyViper]

@delpinsky , on the version history tab download both uploads (must rename one of them, so not to overwrite if downloaded to the same folder). Decompress the oldest and largest to your cars folder, and then overwrite with the contents of the smallest rar.

(this was exactly the reason for my post above)

@AlleyViper
Yeah, i noticed it after finding out the preview image was missing.
Shame on me I didn't read at once the update tab

Very Fair point chaps, and valid one, I was just thinking about the size of the updates, trying to keep them as small as possible, as I thought, once you have the 1st download, why download the skins and all again, but like you said and fairly pointed out.

Should be no more updates until the final model is complete, so hopefully happy racing and see you online.

Again, thank you all for your pointers and suggestions.

Good job Fordman!

ACTC on Facebook will be using this for a league if people are keen!

brake lights are better, thanks, still noticeably different to other cars in how they behave from a long distance but much less distracting
any thoughts on rear view mirror placement? it seems to be floating and possibly not in the most convenient spot to glance at. dont know if mentioned already but drivers feet dont seem to reach the pedals

Glad you like the brake lights, more improvements to come on them, as been watching a lot of ref videos.

Hmm rear view mirror, no your the first to mention this, could you give me pictures please, to help me here.

Pedals and Feet - Yes already noted and being worked on

You should always upload the full car, especially for people just stumbling upon it long after the first release. I think it is even against RD rules to not do this, as people could use this trick to upload stuff over the size limit (as in release split archives that you have to combine)

 

[Shaun Clarke]

@AccAkut so when I release an update, upload the whole folder, include everything, even though people will have most of the BIG files (skins / sfx)?

Cheers

That is how it suppose to be done I guess, The latest upload will always be on the big "download this mod" button
As it is right now it is 74.3Mb but that is just the update so if you download the mod for the first time you don`t get the full mod.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Taking to the RD mods now, thank you guys...I will learn...the hard way I guess LOL

Best policy is to always assume your uploads will be downloaded by people who have never seen an AC mod before. Keep it simple, make it complete.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Hi All,

RD mods spoke to me, and it is all clear now, yeah I dropped a nugget LOL but live and learn.

So from now all, all updates will contain EVERYTHING as instructed to do.

Cheers

Hi All,

Just a question. Everybody seems to want to race the Ginetta with the Porsche and the Maserati, but at the moment, the Ginetta is faster. Is there enough demand for me to create a GT4 version so that it compares to the other 2?

Yes please! I would very much like a friend to play with the Porsche and Mazza.

Already done mate, you can find it in the downloads, just needs some model work, and I haven't stopped working on the power and gears yet, as I am not 100% happy, so until then, I will keep plugging away

 

[Shaun Clarke]

I cannot remember who, but somebody said that they could not put the car in gear while waiting on the grid. I have found out that this is a server setting, you need to enable False Starts and then 10-15secs before the start, you can put the car in gear.

I have tested this on my server, so just wanted to clear that up, as I hate leaving things un-explained.

You know there will come a point where you will have to tell yourself "STOP" (lol). In the meantime, thank you.
