rec.autos.simulators

I've read the readme and checked deja so I know about the pbf2tga.exe
but it doesn't seem to work for me.

I can generate the GPLss##.pbf but they are all 0Kb in size and when I
drag to the pbf2tga.exe program a DOS window pops up for a split second
and then disappears but the file is unchanged and no new files are
present. So far I've only managed to get shots using ALT-screenprint and
then pasting into a graphics viewer.

I'm running in openGL on a TNT2 if that makes a difference.

Also, is there any way to convert replay files to MPEG?

Thanks

Kev

I have no idea about why they're 0K in size, but I don't think that
dragging will work. What you need to do is:

1) Open a DOS box. (ie run command.com)

2) Change to the relevant directory (usually "cd c:\sierra\gpl"

3) Type (for example): "pbf2tga GPLss001.pbf"

4) Ta-da! One TGA file.

Doubt it, but I've no idea.

There's GPL Movie Studio, which does just that, but it also takes
screenshots from GPL first, so you'd be out of luck with that
too.

Unless you will settle for the software rendered graphics.

You can get the GPL Movie Studio from http://phlegma.figc.net/
