Great dash, just doesn't look like a '67 Lotus 49.

New GPL Lotus dashboard mod causes track load errors
Ken Drouillard released a new Lotus dashboard for GPL, which was widely admired but caused a 'can't load track' error for many users. Testing showed the replacement 3do worked but the dash texture failed, and Grant Reeve explained that GPL never expects textures larger than 256x256, which the 512x256 file exceeded. A resized 256x128 version was reported to work.
Automated summary.
I just ran GPL with the first time with the new dash and it looks fantastic.
Excellent work guys! That is the nicest looking dash I've seen on any car
yet.
Quick question for you...
The GPLEA are due to release their Lotus sometime soon. Will your dash be
compatible?
Thanks for the good work!

When I tried to use these I got a message saying that GPL could not load the
track. I made sure that I had deleted all the files from the previous Lotus
dash I had downloaded but this made no difference. In my lotus folder I had
the files:
lotus.dat (original file)
lotus.cam ( from Greger Huttu)
lotus.3do
dash7.mip
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Phil
Not here! Still asks for username and password. 5:51 EST.

I get the not loading tracks error, too. Original dash works fine. Someone
else's modified dash, steering wheel, etc. works fine.
Yours will not work as an add-on to the original or to the other
modifications. Same error every time.
Hope you can fix it because it looks great in the picture!

i've had going through combonation after combination of separate peoples
work. Phil Lee's message stated that he deleted all the previous files,
you really should have noted if the names of the files before hand in
case of variations.

Not in this case, to prove it to yourself merely extract the newly
provided Lotus.3do file yet omit the new dash7.mip file. GPL
works as expected. Now do the reverse, no such joy.
- George
I get can't load track error I have tried all resolution without success the
3do file on it own works and makes the neeedles thinner but with the
dash7.mip with or without the 3do files kicks up the can't load track error.

The 3do file is provided only to render the slimmer needles on the gauges,
no other mods were applied. The dash7.mip file should be usable without the
3do, just replace the default.

Yes you wouldn't think a single MIP file would cause such a
problem, but unfortunately it does on my system. The 3DO
file however works fine.
- George
Mine won't work either. I can load tracks if I delete the mip and keep the
3do, but not the other way around. Could it have anything to do with video
cards or resolution?

Good guess...I use 1024x768 and I'll bet that higher resolutions may cause a
problem...????

The 3do works fine...gives the narrower needles, but the mip sure has a
strange problem!

These are not small files, definitely not 16 color which is the
default...not sure of that has anything to do with the problems......

of they changed through 1.2.0.1) and with every revision I load GPL after
MIP conversion....I have had errors in development but I had removed too
many files, etc......I have a slightly modified 3d0 from what we
offered......but it still works fine when I replace my entire lotus
directory with the contents of the zip file (with lotus.dat in place of
course).
it has been downloaded 140 odd times so far and I think the # of problems is
below 10 (?) that I have heard of. My testing system is as follows:
PIII-533B
128MB RAM
Diamond Viper 770 using reference drivers under Win2K and Win98.
U.S. Version of GPL patched to 1.2.0.1 with disco patch.
In game I use OpenGL patch beta 2 at 1024*768, detail slider 1/2 way,
mirrors every 2 frames......

The 3do works fine...gives the narrower needles, but the mip sure has a
strange problem!

> The new dashboard mip is 512x256? well, that would most certainly be the
problem - GPL never expects to find any textures larger than 256x256,
so the behaviour of any given rasteriser and graphics card combo
with these larger textures is "undefined" - a programming disclaimer
meaning "don't blame me if all hell breaks loose" :)

Hmm, 3dfx cards support max 256x256.......

Even I make mistakes sometimes, it was 256x128.
