GPL GEM 67 Mod query?

I know this is an old one guys, but I'm stuck trying to get GPL (v1.2.02) working with the 69 mod? I've just rebuilt this pc (put in bigger hd and upgraded win98se to win xp) and its been working fine for a month or so. I installed GPL onto the new hd, and updated it using the all in one patch to v1.2.02. I installed the carsound patch. I installed the 65mod. I installed the 69 mod. Now when I load GPL (using Igor, or using my GPL shortcut icon) even though the green button appears in the bottom right hand corner, I cannot select the green button to actually go to race! Anyone have a cure for this, thanx.... 8-) *Peter* - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/petergagg/

What happens if you go to the GPL directory and click on the GPL.EXE file? Does it run? (Let's at least eliminate the possibility that iGOR and/or your desktop shortcut don't have errors in them.) -- Darryl

Yes GPL.exe file runs ok, and I can start GPL using Igor/Gem, and I can start GPL using my own GPL shortcut. I can select a driver, select a car, cailbrate my wheel, change the options, etc, etc. But when you click on the green button (bottom right corner of screen) to actually go to the track to race, nothing happens. It does not matter whether I have selected training, race, multiplayer or championship, nothing happens when you click the green button! Thanx *Peter* - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/petergagg/

I'm surprised Malc hasn't snatched this one... ;) After installing the carsounds patch, did you install the correct number of car sounds into the sounds directory? (Do the mods do this for you?) MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8 SEARCHING FOR GPL LOADING READY. RUN

> After installing the carsounds patch, did you install the correct > number of car sounds into the sounds directory? (Do the mods do > this for you?) Erm, dunno, hang on I'll check... I have seven sound files in the gpl/sound directory and a sound.dat file too. The sound files are 690.wav to 696.wav (7 in total) I did not do anything to the sound files or sound directory after installing gpl, other than run the carsound patch (from the gpl directory). So I assume the carsound patch or the 65 or 69 mod put these files here. Is this causing the problem? *Peter* - http://homepage.ntlworld.com/petergagg/

The mods have their own sounds which get installed with those mods - i.e 690, 691 etc for the 69 cars. Once you apply the carsound patch you must add the sound files that are specific to the 67 cars or else you won't be able to specifically run the 67 cars. You need bra, brm, cov, eag, fer, lot and mur WAV files. You can find good sound files for the 67 cars at http://www.stefanroess.de/page1_e.html Bob Simpson
