Gran Turismo 4 Modding Discussion

[60fpshacks]

Downloading now. I had no idea it would be uploaded this early, which is great, though I know time zones are different across the world.

Very excited to try this out. Thank you very much @TheAdmiester!

Not 100% sure if it's caused by Spec II mod, but it does mention adjust aspect ratio of some menu icons so it could be:

Because both it and the HD HUD mod both try to adjust the aspect ratio, some icons end up being squished from sides

Technically caused by Spec II since I corrected the aspect ratio of the actual elements, but not something for me to fix as it's now fixed at the source. If the HD pack authors decide to make a Spec II-aware version then this would be fixed, otherwise I recommend playing without for now.

So far, very awesome.

Some things I did notice though:

1. I have not tested all models of the car, but the S2000 Type V 2003 (top down convertible mode) does not have the interior camera centered on the steering wheel. Instead it is zoomed in on the dash.

2. Of all the RB26DETT Nissan Skylines, the BCNR33 GT-R seems to have the most accurate stock (no exhaust) engine sound, while the BNR32 and BNR34 Skyline GT-R's sound a bit odd. Could the stock engine sound from the R33 be added to the other two Skylines?
However though, when a custom exhaust is installed it (only tried the R32 so far with one) sounds, well, amazing.

3. 480p does not stay enabled after a reboot.

1. Some interior cams probably aren't perfect and I'll try to keep track of some to update in future

2. I gave each gen a different sound to avoid duplication - one thing I hate is when you get a grid full of the same sound and it blends together in one loud, phase-y mess - and going off the idea that different shaped cars will have different acoustic characteristics. I might look into improving them in future but I want to avoid just giving them all the same one, especially for the Red R Emblem races

3. I've tested this one just now and it works fine. Make sure you're letting the game save after applying it (it can't save in the options menu, only in GT Mode or when you hit Save Game on the main menu) as I've seen that catch a few people out

Not sure if it's a valid suggestion but an FIA GT / Le Mans Series type championship would be cool for the non-JGTC GT racing cars, though I don't know if there's enough cars in that category to encourage it.

There aren't too many but there's an event that does kind of work that way:

Spoiler

The new Mid-Field endurance is mostly GT1 + fictional equivalents

Absolutely lovin' it. You Gran Turismo Modders are gaming heroes to me.

Also, uhhh... I noticed a drop in framerate due to the game seemingly being locked in 480p and also I seem to not be able to remove 16:9 no matter the option.

Saying this because my Laptop gets slow FPS when I play GT4 with 16:9 and 480p.

Edit: Resetting the game seems to have fixed the screen aspect and lowered back to normal pixels.

Masterwork!
