gp2 editing

3 posts by 3 people · 26 Feb 1998 - 28 Feb 1998

Would be nice to see, but I doubt it...The main reason isn't so much for the difficulty in creating an editor (or just hacking into the 3d-model), but instead I think it has to do with motives. In ICR2 and N2, they're both N.American organizations, and most (if not all) can be used for other types of racing, including Trans Am, etc. It seems to me the agenda for GP2 appears to be more of getting as close as possible to Nirvana-F1, rather than simply deversifying with the odd-ball track, carset, or whatever... Sure, there are exceptions - just a theory. Cheers! Marc

I must congratulate all involved on the track editor! This is good news! My question is, have anybody started working on other car-bodies? The physics of GP2 are quite good, it would be nice to drive a Ferrari 333SP or an R&S.. Maybe a Touring Car? Would it be possible? Thanks, Matt

I asked this same question to Steven Young, man behind the GREAT GP2Edit. He told me that he knows WHERE the bodywork is stored in GP2. Big problem is the format that is used... There's also another problem: to depict the cars at greater distances and in the mirrors, the game uses sprites. So you would have to render 100's of images to keep all views consistent. BTW: the sprite-nature of cars in the distance becomes very apparent when you play around with editing camera positions. The sprites are only convincing under certain angles... Doesn't look too good...
