Any issues with GPL and/or the mod? Ask for help here!

In 2009, while leading the 24 hours of Le Mans on the GTP mod (Nascar2003), my team Sauber C9's engine actually broke in the very last lap We were classified as winners anyway

It's of course sad, but I like games where actually something CAN break.

You shouldn't have been winners, real Le Mans rules need the winner to pass the line or they won't be classified. Maybe your rules just were that after 24hrs, the car with most laps will be winner, regardless of the car driving across the line?


Are these Endurance events basing on N2003 still happening or has it been stopped as the game is too old?

First time I noticed it:

Team Redline in the last one. I've been watching their FLOG79 videos when I didn't have a PC that could take online racing.

No, team Redline were those who made the mod

In the last video, you see my teammate fom this year, Peter Read driving the Orion Racing Sauber we drove to victory along Frosty St Clair, Aleksi Elomaa and Szabi Balog, good memories We won because the admins decided we deserved to be classified as first since we had some 7 laps lead over the second place car...

Here at HSO, we still had a GTP series until 2010 (see in the archives, 2009 WSC 1989 and 2010 IMSA 1991) unfortunately it had to be cancelled due to a lack of drivers. The only place I know of where this mod is still used (spint races only) is FSB (2nd video you posted), but being based in California this league runs at terrible hours for us Europeans Anyway, most of their drivers drove here and they are good friends of ours

Anyway, GTP is a great sim but back to GPL please

Some questions about the game/championship. Its been years since my last online race in gpl, and i think back then the championship i ran used vrock or something like that (and i think there was another program called iGOR for that but we didn´t use it). Wich program are we using for the races? Haven´t found any info about this, and it´s quite an unknown world for me.

Another question about the car choices. I have asked for the #8 Lola, but ingame there´s only one Lola skin (or my feeble mind has totally forgotten how skins worked in gpl). I guess everybody races with the default Lola and numberpicking it´s just for flavor and to put a limit to the entrants?

What i remember well are the constant reminders to not race each other too closely and to be very careful with distances between cars, else the sim could detect a contact even if there was still some space between cars. Actually when i tried Rfactor it blew me away with the netcode that allowed all the rubbin´you pleased, a giant step forward for me back then. Well let´s stop the memories...guess those advices are still applicable and one must take extra caution?

Hi Abat, I'm gonna try to answer as clearly as I can

You do indeed need IGOR (IGOR for mods, VROC is for the original GPL), which is included in GEM+ which is needed anyway to install the mod. It looks like that :



On top you have the servers you can join simply by double clicking them (The HSO one will be up soon), and bottom you have the chat (adress to be given soon). If you have any trouble installing, ask.

We do not indeed actually choose a skin color, but this mod is pretty neat as it gives each of use who have chosen the same car (for example you and me) a different historically accurate livery

As far as collision box goes, you're right indeed, although it has been slightly revised with the latest patch (included in the installer I gave a few post above this one) so it's a bit better than it used to be, but yeah, no door to door action in GPL that's for sure

comme vous ne serez que 2 voitures par chassis , c est très simple de préparer un carset spécial ou chaque pilote aura sa voiture personnalisée : ( il suffira d entrée en 2 "vagues" sur le serveur )

http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=7809&st=0&p=72702&#entry72702

si tu veux je ferais le carset , il suffit que chacun me dise la couleur qu il veut pour la voiture et son casque
+ d'éventuels décos : nom sur la carrosserie ..etc .

ou vous pouvez aussi choisir des voitures du carset springbok 68 :

j explique le principe :
actuellement vous etes : GT40 MkI , Mirage x2 , P4 , Lola x2 , Porsche

exemple :



ton drivGT:
..........

[ driver_13 ]
car_number = 74
bump_order = 7

[ driver_14 ]
car_number = 73
bump_order = 6

[ driver_15 ]
car_number = 72
bump_order = 5

[ driver_16 ]
car_number = 71
bump_order = 4

[ driver_17 ]
car_number = 70
bump_order = 3

[ driver_18 ]
car_number = 38
bump_order = 2

[ driver_19 ]
car_number = 2
bump_order = 1

les pilotes de la mirage 2 et de la lola 38 rentrent ( ordre sans importance )
et ensuite les 5 autres
chacun aura son skin ( les 3do de 70 à 74 n 'existant pas ils prennent le skin défaut )

I understood, by I'm not sure Abat did

Je n'arrive pas à avoir Pribluda

Installed it but in French Got it to run but not able to tweak it. Help?

Is there a English version floating about?

I have been on the track but with auto transmission and I get no sense of speed so Mr wall comes to see me a lot

I might cope with French(although I prefer English) well enough. Just hope it runs fine.

I typed GEM+ in Google, and there it is http://gem.ebi-service.de/downloads.html

To sum it up, if you don't have GPL yet :

1) Download GPL and its installer
2) Burn the .iso and install it following the read me instructions.
3) Install GEM+ on your fresh install
4) Download and install The 1967 GT Mod
5) Launch GEM+, click Carset and activate the 1967 Sportcar carset.
6) Drive

3) Into the same folder as GPL? In my case, it's \Games\GPL.

Nope, wherever you want, it's a different programm altogether, you will just need to tell it where your GPL installation is when launching it for the first time

Okay.

4) Says I'm missing V2 Rasterizers and the trackcheck cannot find some tracks. But that's probably just the track set of the real season, not Kyalami.

Well it certainly wont hurt to install this patch, even though i think it was included in the installer : ftp://91.121.135.76/GPL/gplrast_v2.5.rar

Started game.

The wheel setting isn't that great, I think my wheel doesn't point straight. Also, not all buttons of my G27 seem to work.

Does shifting without clutch hurt this mod more realistic than rFactor?

No you don't need to use the clutch unless you tweak the GPLshift patch, which I wouldn't recommand doing.

You've got 1 hour to find proper settings!

I'm loving it doing things late. I'll just bring up the rear end of the field(oh, how unknown to me!xD) and try to finish if I get there.

I didn't have to install a new Kyalami, right? Using GEM, it only shows Spa and Nürburgring as tracks.

in gem, verified that Kyalami is in the season.ini you chose

click on "seasons"

to have this screen



if your choice is GT.ini , click on the "+" near it , to have the "track list"

Hmm, I did click on it, but the track above seasons is still Spa.

I feel like the wheel still points 45° left when it says it's straight.
