Hi all,

in GPL there is a possibility to set the replay lenght in core.ini. Know
somebody which parametr should be set?

Thanks

Add these two lines to your core.ini

[ Replay ]
replayMemoryOverride = X

where X = the number of Kbytes of memory you want the replay buffer to
be.  By default, X will be no smaller than 2048 (2Mb).

Sure.  Add the following lines to your core.ini file, where XXXXX
equals kilobytes of memory.

[ Replay ]

replayMemoryOverride = XXXXX

For example,
replayMemoryOverride = 10000 would give 10MB of replay memory.

Hey, wait a minute.  I have GPL installed, but don't seem to even have
a core.ini file *anywhere* on my hard drive.  Where is it supposed to
be, or how come I don't have one?

Feeling left out,

The core.ini file is just a text file which can contain various settings for
use by the GPL app. I don't think the GPL installation creates one, but the
app will look for it on startup, and use the settings it finds therein.  You
can make your own file using your favorite text editor (Notepad will do the
job), or download one off the 'net -- if you race VROC, you'll probably want
to download their recommended core.ini file, BTW -- and add your own stuff
to it as needed.

The file follows the standard Windows .ini file format: section titles
enclosed in square brackets, followed by 0 or more lines with the format
"variable=value" (no spaces in between!)

Just stick a text file called 'core.ini' in your GPL directory, with
whatever settings you want to apply, and fire up GPL. That's it!

how much memory is required for a full lap at the ring in training
mode? Would 4096kb be enough?

thanks,

uwe

try 20000kb, save a nurbur lap and check the file size, put this size (or a
bit bigger) in the core.ini and you got it  ..... easy :)

It's about one lap and a half, though I'll have to check to be on the
safe side.

Thanks for the hint! I'll just check D. Arnao's replay at the ring
that comes with the game, although I'll have to add a minute and a
half ;-)

Cheers

What is the trick ? I do NOT have the file core.ini as I don't race in line
(yet). Do i need this file ? and then what do I do ?
Thanks a bunch.

Ok, open notepad

Type in the following:

[ Replay ]

replayMemoryOverride = XXXXX

XXXXX is the about of memory (virtual, NOT system) you want to use for
the replay.
Say for example you want to use 30 megs of virtual memory for a replay
(which will record all of a 7 lap rave at Monza)
then you would type the following:

[ Replay ]

replayMemoryOverride = 30000

Then save the file in your GPL directory as core.ini
That's all there is to it.

If you are using notepad, be warned, it like to throw a .txt extension
onto anything it saves, so make sure it gets renamed to core.ini

While we are on the subject of replay length, does anybody know if the
amount of memory available for the replay is a fixed amount by default
or is it a percentage of the total system memory. This is assuming
that you do not have a set amount specified in the core.ini as shown
below. I think it musst be because I removed my core.ini file when
trying to fix a problem I have with GPL and I was amazed to find I
could record a full short race at Kyalami with a full field of 20
without a core.ini. 128MB of RAM.

This is Randy Cassidy's reply about this question back in January 1999:

GPL bases its replay buffer size on the amount of physical (semiconductor)
memory in the system, not the amount of "free" memory, or available swap
space.  The shorter on-line replay is most likely due to the excessive
number of skids laid down by warping cars.  Either turning off skids, or
overriding GPL's replay buffer size should give you longer replays.
