the weirdest GPL bug EVER !!!

Here I am, after deleting my Ferrari .wav sound to reinstall the original one (thanks again Jan). GPL lauches perfectly...BUT he will only let me go in multiplayer mode, although i am not connected, and I can only host a race, except of course I can't. I can click on the green flag in all the other modes (training, single race, world championship) but nothing happens, the game doesn't lock, it just stays there, if I go to multiplayer then I have access to the next menu but when i click on host and then on the green flag, just the same, I can click on the red to go back to the desktop but no way to get in the game, i have changed my car just in case he saw that the ferrari wav wasn't there but even with a Lotus it won't start. I guess there must be something wrong with an .ini file somewhere not allowing me to start the game but I can't see where. I have the JSJ utility to use the shifter but if I start the 'old' GPL.EXE unpatched it will still do the same. Thanks for your help

That's a tell-tale sympton of a gpl.exe patched with Nigel Pattinson(sp?) "Carsound". You *need* to have 7 .wav files in the "sound" folder if you use that patch. You should extract the "ferrari.wav" from the "sound.dat" file and rename it "fer.wav". Richard. -- Richard Bellavance Enter-Net Inc.

"Txl" <[email hidden]> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:ZyGb6.128$[email hidden]... Hi! Another possible way: Copy the original gpl.exe from your cd into your gpl-folder, overwriting the existig one and then run the 1.2.0.1-patch over it. Should do the job. Regards Crash

Thanks for the help everybody but I still have my little problem. I have downloaded about 10 sounds for the ferrari and I still like the original better, I can run the game now (it was the missing fer.wav file) but can anybody mail me the original sound ? Or better tell me here that he'll do it, otherwise I'll end up having 26 mails with a 200 Ko attachment... thanks again

Go to The Pits, Stock Car Editors page http://www.theuspits.com/fbody/nascar/index.html and get Tim Medcalf's dooDAT V1.3. It will allow you to extract the original sounds from the sound.dat in GPL (I would copy the sound.dat off the CD and perform this in a temp folder). Once you extract the ferrari.wav file, rename it fer.wav and move it to your Sound folder in GPL. -- don GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker.co.uk/gpl/bapom/

Go here: http://nosthevamp.tripod.com/start.htm Scroll down to "Sounds", download the original GPL Ferrari sound, done. That's not to say that learning to hack about with the dat files isn't useful, but that's the easiest way to get the original Ferrari wav with Carsound. Rick

Yes, dooDat will extract any Papy dat file.
