How to make the AI faster in GPL?

Hi guys.

I have modified the npt_override in the gpl_ai.ini but the AI cars
still don't seem any faster. I would like to have them lapping at
1:27s at monza for example. How can that be done?
I have also tried increasing the value of line_to_improve in
gpl_ai.ini and that seems to make them lap at 1:29s at monza, but
couldn't get them to lap at 1:27.
any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Mauricio.

Try downloading the AI tweaker utility, available from most GPL websites.
Try
http://www.theuspits.com/
I've used it to have more competitive races, works a treat!!

I have that and the best I could get them to lap at was again 1.29s at
the race and high 1.28s qualifying. I have the slider set at the
fastest possible.

Why not just drive the Coventry?  Let me know when you get a 1.27 out of
that puppy at Monza.

Sounds like you had a "clock smash" in online gameplay.  This made your AI cars
try to keep up with your best lap.

What are you best RECORDED times at Monza? The AI will try to beat your best
times. So, if your best time is 29 they will alse be around 29s. I once had
a clock smash and got a 1:14.xx at monaco and the AI were doing sub 20s
easily. So if you chalenge them they will respond!

Something wrong here. If you change the npt_override to a value less than
one you won't see them for dust. Try 0.75 or so. Cheers, Andrew.

You could do a few rail-riding laps to achieve better lap-time. The AI
should follow and so  are more competitive.

 There's an AI tweak program that you can download at
www.theuspits.com.
I found the solution to my problem by tweaking the driver.ini file. I
have actually changed it in such a way now that I have 10 AI driving
Lotus and the rest driving Eagles. I have tweaked the team number,
hype, aggression and alertness properties of the driver.ini file and
all the drivers are J.clark clones. I've done that by copying all the
characteristics from the aggression property down to all the other 18
drivers.
It makes it very tough and you can have many combinations of drivers
characteristics with other cars, driving faster or slower. I would say
this is the perfect single player training if you're interested in
driving on-line.
Anyway I thought I'd share this information so we could give an end to
this post.
Cheers

Mauricio.

Good one.

with the patch, you should find youself in mid-field, since they
follow your best lap-times (and drive a little faster of course)

If you have problems with to fast "best laps", you should reset or
manipulate the lap-times.

Hope this helps.

Jens

BTW Even if your post was ironic ;-) there are surely some drivers out
with exactly this problem.
