I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a copy of the file. I'll put it on my webspace if anyone wants it. (My host is down right now though.)

MK's Garage Editor (v38) is here: GT3gEditV38.zip

Updated 304 Editing info (remove .txt extension when installing): GT3gE304.ini.txt

It sounds interesting, but what does it do?

posted 09-25-2003 04:37 AM         

I changed the lines once I confirmed what they were, and made some editing changes to make the data easier to understand. Nothing major, just to make that area simpler to use.

It would pay a lot more, but tech jobs aren't really stable right now, whereas I can stay at my current job for as long as I want. Great thing about fast food places is they almost never go out of business

File's up on my webspace:
http://www.santiago22.com/gt3/GT3gE304.ini.txt

Save to the folder where GT3gEdit.exe is. Take the .txt off when you save it and replace the GT3gE304.ini file that's there. Rename the original file if you think you might want to switch back.

Thanks, guys!

Now, anybody in a team other than Button's Brigade want one too? *lol*

The great W. Gate (no, not Miscro$oft - Button's Brigade!) has determined that the required adjustment to convert a bought car to a prize car (ie. eliminate run-in) is:

480=-1149628589

Simply transfer garage to PC via X/Shark-port, read garage, export the car as .ini file, edit line '480' of .ini file, import .ini file, write garage, and restore garage via port.

Technically changing this line does not convert a bought car to a prize car. What it does it to put 301km of engine wear onto the car. This will see a bought car right through the running-in period into it's max bhp zone. If applied to a proper prize car it will eat up 301km of your 500km optimum life. So be careful.

Anyway, it's an easier and quicker way of obtaining a run-in car for those Spot Races.

Yes you can. Load your game into MKs, then click on the Edit menu and select 304 Editing. Now change the following lines:

64=1
68=1
72=1

I still haven’t figured out what 102’s (or possibly it’s 408) are. In the help file under “Other stuff” it discuses some of the options that can be set in the [Globals] section of the GT3gEdit.ini file. One of the options is “Force102” and I have copied and pasted what it had to say about that below.

“Force102
Putting 1(one) to its value will force every exported car getting their 102's value (408 in car file) from GT3gEdit.ini [Globals] 102 despite what the actual car data is.”

This statement is ambiguous, not a good thing in a help file. It would seem most likely that it is discussing a cars 102 value, whatever that might be, and that it would be listed in line number 408 in the exported car file. It has left open the interpretation that it is discussing the value of something listed on line number 102 of something that might have a value of 408. Upon examination the second, less likely, possible interpretation has to be removed to an even lower level of likelihood because 102 isn’t devisable by 4 and the lines in a exported car file increment by 4 so there is no line number 102. I can’t rule it out entirely because the first, and now much more likely, interpretation doesn’t make a great deal more sense. There is a line number 408 but it is referenced as referring to the “Rear LSD Init” setting and seems to do so. I can’t figure out why an LSD setting would be referred to by the cryptic term “102” but then again I don’t get “304 Editing” either. If the statement weren’t ambiguous I would at least be more certain of what it was that I didn’t understand.

The Fittment registry is described as a set of yes/no flags of parts the car has. I believe that a binary number as a series of yes/no flags would be read as a 1 (one) in any slot in the series indicting yes, in this case possession of that part, for that slot. It would seem that the Fittment registry is a series of yes/no flags indicating what parts that the car hasn’t. That is, where a 0 (zero) appears indicates possession of that part and where a 1 (one) appears indicates not possessing that part. Understanding this, the statement “Eliminating fittment values will allow any car to rally.” starts to make sense. I may seem a dim-bunny but it took me over an hour to figure this out.

The word Fittment isn’t a good choice for what to call this registry. First off, I don’t think “Fittment” is actually a word, but “fitment” is. Fitment means fittings or equipment, but it isn’t a word in common use today. The term “Junk in the Trunk” is descriptive but it’s to long. Perhaps “Trunk Junk” for the US and “Bonnet Bric-a-brac” for EU would work.

Having an understanding of your lack of understanding is the greatest understanding a person can have. Understanding your own lack of understanding is the only true path to a complete understanding of what is you wish to understand.

However, according to your quote:

You already know what you don't understand, and with out getting into arugments about semantics and metaphysical theories of knowledge, having knowledge implies an understanding. So your above statement is Im afraid a contridiction, and therefore false.
What I believe you ment to say, is

Which would imply knowledge of your own inablity to understand, and point you in the right direction to finding the understanding you seek.
