I've never tried FTM. I'll have a go.

But there's always a time when the images become corrupt, all the images I've changed. Did anybody ever have this problem?

yes, when you export many textures to the F1PCSVGA.bin.

When you try out all your new track maps, you will have this problem.
Make sure you have a copy of the fresh F1PCSVGA.bin
When your project is finished you should use a fresh F1PCSVGA.bin.

With the FTM you can defrag the F1PCSVGA.bin.
I did not test that

Edit:
Menu helmets are stored also in the F1PCSVGA.bin !!!!!!
When you often install carsets with menu helmets the background pictures get "broken" sometime.

You should have more GP2-installations.
Then you can look at all carsets without damaging your most important GP2 installation

Some batch files for GP2 menu pictures doesn't work under XP.
For example GETHIPIC (which is a batch file for GP2HIPIC V.0.9a)
Error message : "CHOISE" not found.

You can copy the file "Choise.com" from a win98 installation
( :\WINDOWS\COMMAND ) to your WinXP ( :\WINDOWS\system32)
and the problem is eliminated !!!!!!!!!!!




Edit: Download "Choise.com":
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Services/TechNe ... CHOICE.COM

thx for the nice feedback

Just finished the next 5 trackmaps, only 4 to go

More nice stuff... thanks mate!

Somehow that prog doesn`t work for me too, whenever I want to export the Trackmaps it says "wrong file format", this error message appears with every trackmap I try (also downloaded from grandprix2.de), strange. Maybe I should try Fragata Track Manager...

Anyways, here are the final 4 Trackmaps




When I have some time I`ll package them along with the smaller thumbs and send them, but I want to test this stuff first

MäxX, they all look GREAT!, great job from you!

Another well done job, congrats!

thx

The stuff has been sent to Andreas now, if there would be a possibility to change the color of the ingame menü...than they would look much better

I just found a way to get real hot Trackmaps, but unfortunately I think they can`t be distributed because of using official F1 stuff, but I`ll tell you how I did it:

Open the official F1-site -> http://www.formula1.com/
Go to Services - Downloads in the Menu
Get all the Trackwallpapers

Google for the Trackmaps of all the 17 tracks (you can find them all in wikipedia)

Combine the Wallpaper and a trackmap for the bigger version
Use the downloaded Wallpaper for the framed track version

Done, now you have really awesome Trackmaps!

Good idea! Did you try out if it works with the colours?

OMG, seems that I miss the German GP too much, gonna fix that in a while

It works great! I use the (altered) Hungary Wallpaper as starting screen and the others for track selection, just decrease the colors to 233 an all is fine (at least in Paintshop Pro)

Great Work !!!!

One More Wonderful Stuff for GP2.
Congratulations
