Grey Barrier on some tracks

Post by Mulletes »

Hi Guys

On some tracks the barrier/fence is grey. Example silv50. Is there anyway of fixing this??

Cheers 8) 8)

Yes probably there are some jams missing or in the wrong folder. Usually in these cases you need to reinstall one of the original jams of the game (for example siljams).

In general what you can do is to open the circuit (the .dat file) with a simple text editor (notepad or whatever it is called) and scroll down to the end of the whole text. You will see a list of jams used by that circuit with their respective path. Now what you can do is to check in your folders if some files are missing or if they are in the wrong folder (check the spelling).

It could be that this track needs Gp2Limit. That's because the file size of some tracks is slightly bigger than what GP2 normally allows. And Gp2Limit increases the space.

The best way to get Gp2Limit into GP2 is to download rremedio's Slot&Tyre Editor 4.21. Here's the link:

At Track Size Limit, click on max and GP2Limit has done it's work!

That track size limit won't affect jams that way. If you have a track bigger (in .dat file size) than the limit, you get a "wrong file type" message from GP2 and the track won't load.

Maybe you are getting those missing textures because you put the jam files into a Silv50 instead of Silv50s folder?
