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
v3.33 just fixes some bugs present in v3.32. These new features
were added to v3.32:
o GPPatch "turbo keys" can now be disabled
o "Exit to DOS - Are you sure?" requester in the game can now be
skipped
o The time it takes for a pitstop can now be adjusted
o Colours can now be imported from (and exported to) IFF image /
palette files
o "Practice Fuel Load" feature has been improved - the fuel load
calculated will now be exactly the same as the fuel load in a race
of the same number of laps
o Localized a lot of the older strings that couldn't be translated
before
o Optimized (40% reduction) the data used to draw the images in the
colour editors - this means the colour editors will open faster
initially and the images will be drawn a little bit faster.
And, of course, some bug fixes ;-)
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS
Formula One Grand Prix or World Circuit game by Geoff Crammond,
published commercially originally by MicroProse Software.
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.
