GPL...allocating more RAM for it

by Jon Van Ginneke » Sun, 18 Jun 2000 04:00:00

I reinstalled GPL after a nice little fdisk, my HD wasn't partitioned before
so I lost everything....
I remember a long time ago editing one of the ini's so that GPL would have a
bit more RAM to play with, which would increase my replay time.  Can anyone
point me in the right direction because I can't get more than a 1 lap replay
of the Ring saved?

Thanx in advance

Jon

Add/Edit this line:

[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = 40000

This value is usually good enough to give me a full race replay. Higher
value=more replay, obviously.

You need to make sure the value is at least 32000 less than your RAM in
Kbytes. So with a 64 meg machine, don't push it above 32000.

Which .ini do you modify this way? I'd like to do it to my mine.
Thanks,
Gary

Core.ini -sorry, should have mentioned that.

Check out my webpage (go to the GPL section) see url below, or:

You can increase the size of the replay memory allowance by following
these instructions. NB: To do this you need a minimum of 64MB RAM.

Place the following into the core.ini file found on your GPL folder
(Back up this file before you tamper with it!)

[Replay]
; number of Kbytes of memory you want to dedicate to the replay buffer
; default value is 2048 (no setting here by default)

replayMemoryOverride=49152
