- 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.
