GPL 1.1 and GPLSeason crash?

by Pasi P Ahopel » Mon, 12 Jul 1999 04:00:00

I have US version of GPL and I've applied the patch to clean install
of GPL.  I uninstalled and reinstalled GPLSeason and run succesfully
carsound, but GPLSeason it crashes on startup.  GPL works fine.  
Anyone else having same problem?

At first glance, it looks like the current version of GPLSeason is not
compatible with GPL 1.1.  When you "Load from GPL", you get garbage in
the Team fields - maybe an address change within GPL.EXE has taken
place.

Try the following -

a) Install GPL 1.1

b) Run GPLSeason

c) Choose Options... from the File menu

d) Blank out the GPL Directory field and click OK

   You'll get a message box saying that gpl.exe couldn't be found - click
OK

e) Choose Options... from the File menu again

f) Re-enter the GPL Directory and click OK

This procedure causes GPLSeason to re-find the locations it needs to patch
within
gpl.exe .

Cheers

>a) Install GPL 1.1
>b) Run GPLSeason

Done, "Program has performed illegal operation...divide error"
when GPLSeason is started for the first time.  Nothing else, no
windows opened etc.

I uninstalled both GPL and GPLSeason, reinstalled GPL 1.0 and
GPLSeason: it crashed again on startup.  I haven't tried GPL 1.1
again because of slowdowns encountered in patch.

It is possible that there may be something wrong with my GPL setup.
I've done multiple reinstalls with GPL 1.0.  Moved from D: to C: and
back, etc.  Anyway, I applied Pits superpatch and carsound to GPL 1.0
and everythings back to normal as far as GPL concerned;-)

FYI, I followed Nigel's instructions and GPLSeason worked perfectly for me.
