Short: Formula One Grand Prix / WC Editor V3.30 Author: Oliver@POBoxes.com (Oliver Roberts) Uploader: Oliver@POBoxes.com (Oliver Roberts) Version: 3.30 Type: game/misc Replaces: game/misc/F1GP-Ed_Upd* Action: NoStart TITLE F1GP-Ed VERSION 3.30 AUTHOR Oliver Roberts E-Mail: Oliver@POBoxes.com WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/ http://homepages.enterprise.net/oliverr/ Address: 30 Tillett Road Norwich NR3 4BJ ENGLAND DESCRIPTION An editor for use with the Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game (published by MicroProse Software). It is very easy to use, with a standard 2.0 look graphical user interface (even on KS 1.x!) and on-line help should you need it. Allows you to alter most of the in-game setup, including computer car performance, car/helmet/pitcrew colours, car fragility and many other things (and I MEAN many!). Sound samples can also be replaced, cockpit graphics changed, and lap records and setups printed. Changes can be saved directly to a copy of the game which is running in memory, or to the main file used by the game for a more permanent change. Also incorporated in the main program are a number of memory patches, including Toni Wilen's GPPatch and Grant Reeve's PatchF1GP. F1GP-Ed breathes new life into an ageing, but excellent game. 1994, 1995, 1996 and 1997 sample datafiles supplied for those who don't want to mess about. The program itself is auto-enhancing, which means that it will run on a basic A500 with KS 1.2, but will make use of KS 2.x or KS 3.x specific routines on suitable machines to make itself even better. Supported languages: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Czech. NEW FEATURES o The "in-game" palette can now be altered o GPPatch: font is now user selectable, HUD size can be preset, HUD can be enabled automatically, the "right-shift" car setup change can be disabled. Reduced chip ram usage, plus the required chip ram is now allocated dynamically (only if you actually install GPPatch). Display position is no longer hardcoded - uses same position as F1GP is using o Added Hall of Fame options to the Statistics window to configure the HoF lap record output o Added option to allow the "Abandon Qualifying" requestor to be skipped o The position of the game display can now be preset o Moved "frame rate", "target display" and "detail" options to the new Display window o Moved "reverse steering help" option to the Car Control window - god knows why I didn't put it there to begin with! ;-) o Improved the way the Graphics window trys to load the image - if it fails to open the file, it will try and open the file (without path) from the same directory as the graphics settings file o Cockpit designs can now be viewed directly from within F1GP-Ed o The backdrop (.bkg) files used by F1GP's menus can now be replaced with other images o Main window can now be resized o Optimized all memory load/save and patch install/removal routines o Improved font sensitivity calculations for proportional fonts - should result in more compact windows (tested with over 50 different fonts) o Updated f1gp.library - V35.2 (minor code optimizations) o Altered behaviour of the PATCH and SAVETOMEM tooltypes/cli options - if any of these are specified and F1GP isn't present in memory, error messages won't be displayed any more o Saving cockpit designs to memory now works properly o Fixed bug in Nigel Rowe's McLaren-D cockpit (gear indicator no longer blanks out) SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond, published commercially originally by MicroProse Software. The game has now been re-released by Guildhall Leisure on the Acid label. Approximately 1.5Mb of free ram needed to load the game and the editor to be able to use the memory patches. But, the editor itself and most of the features will work on machines with less memory.
