F1GP Helmet file Editor Version 1.1
Written By Stephen Leary.
Ok!
This little utility is used to edit the helmets that appear in the
"Driver Selection" Menu. The reason I wrote this program is because
F1GP-ED by Oliver Roberts did a fantastic job of Updating F1GP, but
It looked a bit silly With Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost's
helmets on the menu screen.
So with this utility you can add new helmets or swap helmets about.
How Does It work?
There are three options in F1GP-HFED.
(V)iew - Viewing. Boaring, lets you view a F1GP Helmet File.
Pressing f1 lets you view helmets from 01 to 30, f1
selects helmets 10 to 40.
(S)wap - Swaps a helmet from one driver number to another. Used for when a
Driver changes teams.
(G)rab - The most exciting of the them all. Takes a Bitmap off an ILBM
screen image (DPAINT, PPAINT, BRILLIANCE..ECT) decompresses it
and then takes a selectable 48 x 48 pixel image and places it
in the selected Driver number.
USAGE
If you wanted to view a file called "F1GP_DISK_#3:HELMETS.USP" the
apropriate command is :-
> F1GP-HFED V F1GP_DISK_#3:HELMETS.USP
If you wanted to Swap helmet No.19 and Helmet No.1 in the file
"f1gp_disk_#3:helmets.usp" then you should type :-
> F1GP-HFED S 19 01 f1gp_disk_#3:helmets.usp
NOTE:- It's Important to put a Zero infront of single digit no.s in
the command line. eg. 1 = 01, 9 = 09
The grabing is a little more complicated. I have Included two ILBM files
which contain pre-drawn or original in game helmets to get you started.
Helmet Images are 48 x 48 pixel images. when a grab is requested
F1GP-HFED decompresses the image acording to the second parameter
will select one of 6 images and place it into the driver no. which is
specified in the first parameter.
The Images must be side by side on the top row of the screen
(see the layout of the demo pictures).
Once you have entered the viewing part of F1GP-HFED pressing space
will bring up a Dialog box. Pressing Y to confirm or N to Cancel.
Unfortunatly I am no artist so the Images I knocked up for Damon Hill
and David Coulthard are not very good but if anyone else does better
send them to Oliver Roberts or myself. Thanks.
Since this program is Freeware I cannot accept any liablity for any damage
or loss of data brought about through the use of this program. So always
edit a backup of the original file.
This program is freely distriblutable so long as no part of the program
or Documentation or program itself are modified. And so long as it
is not sold for profit. This includes the coverdisks of magazines (unless
my permission is given).
Thank you.
