Alfa Romeo GTA Junior

Hi there,
I have a huge problem:

I installed BLT mod of the Alfa Romeo GTA Junior. The car is verxy good to drive but the lcd timer inside the cockpit  doesn´t work. It seems to be the same like in the Alfa GTA. But there is no either an illuminated version nor a working version. Can someone tell me what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance

I would propose to contact BLT directly via the "Contact" button on their homepage:

http://21188546851.thesite.link/blt/index.php

I tried this for several times but I got no answer.

are you running gtr2 or gtl

Hi fjs

I testet both, GTA and GTAj, and the LCD-timer works fine. From the GTAj i got the version 1.41 from Altbierbude.de. Please tell me what exactly does the LCD-Timer in your game.

Greetings
Muddie

You can program keys to toggle the LCD timer on off on the options

@ fatguts
I am running gtl

@ GeeDee
I know how to activate the LCD Timer. It works in the GTA and other cars.
But it doesn´t work in the GTAJ although I can see it in the Cockpit.

@ Muddie
I got version 1.2 from papag21, think from the nogrip side.
The LCD timer works in all cars if installed in cockpit. But it doesn´t work in the GTAJ. When I switch on the lights, the timer does´t react.

1...  Make sure that the .CAS file does have the following lines (in Red), if not then that will be the problem...

 Actor=VEHICLE

<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  Instance=COCKPIT
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  {
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    Moveable=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    MeshFile=ALFA_GTA_COCKPIT_CHASSIS_STYLE<1>.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(5.0) ShadowReceiver=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    MeshFile=ALFA_GTA_COCKPIT_STYLE<4>.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(5.0) ShadowReceiver=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    MeshFile=ALFA_GTA_WINDOWS_STYLE<4>.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(5.0)
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  }


<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  Instance=LCDTIMER
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  {
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    Moveable=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>    MeshFile=ALFA_GTA_LCDTIMER.gmt CollTarget=False HATTarget=False LODIn=(0.0) LODOut=(5.0) ShadowReceiver=True
<NOTSPIN><DASHHIGH>  }

There are 2 .CAS files in the folder and both must have these lines shown.

Hope this makes it work for you.

Hi GeeDee,
I did it how you´ve suggested.When I drive one of those GTAJ it will come to a CTD.

Have you tried making a trace file to see if you can find why it CTD'd?

If you don't know how to do this then look here:-
https://www.evolution-modding.net/t113-how-to-create-trace-file?highlight=trace+file

You only need 50 lines maximum and if you post them only post the lines which are not repeated please.

Here is the trace file of the changed (as you suggested) GTAJ that cuased the CTD:TRACE LEVEL = 1000

If you want, I can also post the original GTAJ with the non working lcd timer.

Hi PUT A LINK ON HERE SO WE CAN DOWNLOAD AND TRY THE MOD YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH.

ARE YOU RUNNING GTL OR GTR2.

Have you altered anything in the mod.

Hope this makes it work for you.

That's exactly the solution - at least part one of it  

There is indeed a mistake in V1.2 of BLT's mod from 2011
(never checked ABB's download due to changed classes - edit:  just downloaded the 1300 GTAJ from ABB, but I assume that that one is not identical with the BTL mod V1.2)).

Never remarked this issue as I always drive with HUD activated which in this car covers the LCD-timer.

With above solution I get a CTD too because the ALFA_GTA_LCDTIMER.GMT is missing in the ALFA_GTAJR_CPIT.GTL file - as stated in the trace-file!
Here are the corrected files - works like a charm for me:

Hi Jeanno,
you did it!!!
These Beautiful cars are now top!
You are the greatest. Thanks.

Thank you

Here it is with corrected files.
