I decided to fire up GPL for the first time in a long while and wanted to
try out Sopheve. I created a folder in the tracks folder named Sopheve,
unzipped both files I downloaded to that folder and copied the Rouen.dat and
renamed it. I fire up GPL and nothing bombs out or anything but the track
just doesn't show up. I know I must be missing something.

Thanks in advance,
Kevin DeBello

Did you add it to the season.ini file? The readme file even gives you
the lines to add; all you need to do is update the event number for
the lines added (and the total events number at the top of the file).

Yes, I did that also. I noticed that all the .mip files are in that folder.
Should they be all together in one file?

Thanks,
Kevin DeBello

Have you hit the # of tracks limit? Isn't there a 32 track limit in GPL? I
dunno, I only have 20-something tracks right now...

As well as the lines you have to add to your 67season.ini you also have to
increment the numEvents=xx line at the top of that same file. If you've
already done that try renaming the sopheve.dat to Sopheve.dat (with a
capital S). Also did you download both files?

The files are supposed to be the way you describe (ie lots of them).

Thanks, that was it. I added the lines to the ini but didnt change the
numEvents.

Kevin,
I had the exact same problem and I just figured it out now... at the top of
the 67season.ini file and the gp.ini file there is a section that looks like
this:

[Season]
name=All Tracks In Alphabetical Order
year=1967
numEvents=XX

Make sure that you also update the numEvents number to match the total
number of tracks listed in this file... not just adjust the number to the
section for Sopheve that you added as was listed in the readme for the
track.
Good luck,
Robin

Urghh... I had exactly the same problem as Kevin. Thanks very much for
posting the fix, greatly appreciated.

Happy you could make it, this occasion to raise a point, some of the tracks
(sarthe is one of the latest) do all the "work" by themselves on install
(copy to the proper directory, edit the gp and season files...) it would be
VERY nice if the track designers would spend the extra 10 minutes (after
months of work creating the track) to use this system.

Maybe the guys who have it running could "open" it to the guys who don't
have it yet...

Thanks

I liked the very clear simple instructions with Sopheve, much better
than 'install' and 'setup' systems. These do all sorts of things
without asking or telling, so you've no idea what they've done or how
to undo it if necessary.
You'd have to keep a specific uninstall for each addon track, as well.
I much prefer the simple explanation so I can maintain GPL myself.
