[Merkava]

Hi guys!
I don't make icons and biks yet. It's too many cars inside. And making icons for any cars can take too much time. I upload icons in version 1.0.

Fiew guys ask about this conversion. That's why I upload it now when complete cars conversion.

[looseether]

Thats ok by me, a lot of the car mods I have, have no icons...so I'll take it now !!

Thank you Merkava

[Ed]

Half of the cars don't load because the GTC files are corrupted when opening the .rar

Are you sure that you install this mod as in readme says? Maybe it's becouse you install it as usual addon?
You have to put it RIGHT into GTC-65. Not in AC Shelby Cobra. So you have to view fiew AC Shelby Cobra dirrectorues in GTC-65.

I recheck ALL cars in CLEAR (without other addons) GTL befor I pack and upload it here. Any cars working fine and correct.

[Mildrew]

yes i have installed it as per readme,not sure what the problem is as i have installed other mods correctly.

No problems here.

Run a trace and report back.

Set up a trace file:

Right click on your Desktop Icon, and choose PROPERTIES.

In the TARGET box after .exe (leave a space) then add -trace=1000

Next time you get a CTD, go to your Userdata folder and in the LOG folder there will be a trace.txt file.

The problem is usually at the bottom in the last few lines

[Wojtek]

[Mildrew]

the last two lines on the trace reads
vehgfx.cpp 2552: Unable to read USERDATA\LOG\vehen.scn:Error loading global material RAIN_ANIM

vehgfx.ccp 2607: Could not find instance "SLOT000"

[sunalp2]

Looks like a rainscreen entry is still in the .cas file

EDIT: Just had a look, yes it is.

In the main folder for the 289.

Open the .cas files (there are two one is 2DW) and remove this section:

<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> Instance=RAINSCREEN
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> {
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> Moveable=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> MeshFile=AC_COBRA_rainscreen.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(1.5)
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH> }

Fixed already.
Thank you for help!!!

Any other bugs?

[sunalp2]

It is just in all the 2DW cas files for all the cars, so maybe it is only an issue with certain Graphic settings, because it was not affecting me.

I was wondering why they had two .cas files, perhaps that's it.

[Ed]

Downloaded 7zip and it's OK .There was a problem with Winrar. Thanks

Maybe that's why I don't have this bug too...

I'ts good that people inform about they own bugs. It's very helpfull for making version 1.0.

[aspirin]

What a bunch of cars! :thum bup:
Thanks for sharing, rainer. You put a on my face.

[Mildrew]

Thanks for the help Sunalp,i deleted those lines and that has solved the problem.Great selection of cars and love the tinted windscreens.Many thanks Merkava for sharing and again many thanks to you Sunalp

[Ney.Dias]

YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE: - All of you above, forgot to thank very much the original" father" of all these cars!! Thanks very much to YTANGUY (JP YT) who made all the mod, car by car, and a special thanks to Merkava, who is making possible for us GTLers to have that awesome collection in our game. Thanks Merkava and Jean-Pierre! Cheers for both!!

[Mildrew]

got a bit distracted with the problems,many thanks to YTANGUY looks like a lot of time and effort has been put into this mod

[JamminJames]

I love these cars.Will this work ok? Should I wait for 1.0?

It's complete conversion. Just without icons and biks. You can use it. If you fix one file as you can read here - you hav not any problem, I hope.

[viperrace]

Thanks at all

[Vintage Racer]

Thank You SOOO Much!!!

[vette87]

good work

[Donnie Yourth]

Terrific stuff! Thanks a million!

I did have some troubles extracting, tho. I aborted the first run as dozens of files were coming up with errors. The 2nd pass was much better but still got about 3 that were US.

I've tried the Comstock car in-game. Very nice. It's the Ken Miles car from the Canadian GP @ Mosport in 1963. I have personal photos taken on the day. Also of the Eppie Weitzes Comstock Cobra, #54. Too bad I can't post images here. BTW, the green stripes on the Comstock cars were much broader than you show.

Thanks again! I'm hoping to see 1.0 soon!

[Lunsmann]

I needto download this again as all 4 times I tried to extract the 7zip (using 7zip) I got tens of dozens of errors. yet 7zip "tested" the archive and reported no errors.

just waiting for nogrip to reset me 19.30 hrs to go.

[umma gumma]

I'm getting errors extracting as well...maybe it's time for an update, with the correct .cas files, and some icons?

[jjmead]

The extraction path is too long. Open (not extract) it, drill down until you get to the GTC-65 folder and extract just it. I used WinRAR.

edit: forgot to say, drag and drop the GTC-65 folder to extract it alone.

I'm actually doing all the icons and biks, it is such a daunting task that I keep neglecting it.

I'm halfway through so I'll pull my finger out and get it finished.

I'll have a look at the .cas file too as I'm going to pack all those loose files into a mask.gtl ala P&G.

[greg7]

I have pretty good Bik’s for the 260 cars and many of the others if you want them, I was slowly doing them for my own game.

Also every one I know who had extraction issues with this solved them by using 7zip instead of winzip.
I have no idea why, but 7zip is free and after I got it I never use winzip anymore

Thanks Greg, I've done half the cars, but if you want to send me what you have, I'll definitely use the ones I haven't done yet.

[787B]

Thanks much for this Mod, I love the 260 and 289 cars and the historic skins are awesome.

Did this ever make it to GTR2, i.e. not GTL-GTR2, just for GTR2 and P and G mods?

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

The fact that it is already in GTR2 means it can go into P&G with a simple edit of the classes line and the STEX & TALENT entries in the .cas file.

It would not be much trouble to make a specific Cobra Cup GDB to have the car as a standalone either.

[787B]

Cobra Cup is a great idea. I would also like to see the Cobra vs Corvette wars like the early 60's SCCA battles in California. It would be great if the P&G folks would permission to work with these files.

Thank You SOOO Much!!! for this fanrastic developmentjavascript:emoticon('')javascript:emoticon(':-javascript:emoticon(''))')

[jhk]

HI IVE LOADED AS PER INSTRUCTIONS AND ALL THERE BUT NO PICTURES WHEN CHOOSING A CAR AND EACH CAR IS PADLOCKED ANY IDEAS
TA

JHK

[sunalp2]

There are no Icons so they will always show as locked and there are no bik files either so you will just see the default black cobra.


And turn off your CapsLock it is not polite to shout.

[MOF]

Did anyone ever finish\post the missing biks\icons for these 27 Cobras? Spent roughly a half hour searching, but could find nothing.

Don't know about the others simming with GTL, but I know I would appreciate having the biks\icons.

Thanks in advance for any info...

[sunalp2]

I'm actually half way through doing them for Merkava.

It's such a daunting task I keep putting it off.

I'll get stuck in and finish them.

[MOF]

Don't know many who do as much for the sim world as yourself! As long as they get done, it doesn't really matter how long it takes...I'm a patient man!

Thanks for the reply.

[helluva6]

I had it crash on me but the rainscreen delete did resolve the problem. Fantastic mod otherwise. thanks!

I finally got the 260's and 289's to load after increasing graphics, but CTD
on the 289FIA's and 427's of the mod. two of the 289FIA's display in the TEAM selection screen the rest (including the 427's display a flashing timer.

found the error...I extracted the files using 7z instead of Winrar.
no more corrupt files late in the fileset.

[tdurrett]

Can you mod this mod?
If the 260 version had a detuned motor it could be raced as an A-C Ace
to compete in a 60series LeMans class...or is there a way to "port"
a four cylinder performance characteristic and lighter weight and sounds.

[sunalp2]

There was talk of doing the Ac Ace in the Nogrip Modders forum some time ago.
