GPLDUMP How to

Great Program GplDump, just learning how to do it and need some help Anyone out there know how to put the figures into a spreadsheet, i have little experience with Excel i need to make a graph of a couple of laps thanx in advance Capp

I can see where this application would be a big help.. However, I have yet to be able to use it.. I'll assume it's developed for Linux only(?) I can double click (win98) on the EXE but all I get is the dos help file. -- ========================================= Mike Barlow of Barlow Racing? ========================================= Member of R.O.R. 1999 http://www.pivot.net/~marknjess/ror.html ========================================= Racing online with the help of......

You could try opening a DOS window and running the EXE there and then reading the included text file how to use it. It's hard work to get anything out of it, but it can be done :-) Windows version coming up one of these days.. let's see if I can make it before GPL 1.1 is out (no idea when) :-) -Juha --

You idiot mike!! hehe... I just read the GPLDump.txt. That makes a whole lot more sense! Now if I was smart enough to do that in the first place..... Thanks Remco. Mike Barlow

It's not that hard. I do it this way: From the dos prompt: - make a replay in gpl from 1 lap, starting just before the s/f line, and ending just after the s/f line - copy the replay file to the directory where you put gpldump (for example replay.rpy) From a dos prompt type: gpldump -fc -cs replay.rpy > test.txt import test.txt in excel delete all the columns except the first row (all other columns have a zero value in it) Now you only have one column. Delete the first rows until you encounter a zero. This is the point where you crossed the s/f line, so this is the start of the graphic. Near the bottom of the column is also a zero. Delete all rows after this zero. This is the second time you cross the s/f line, so the end of the lap. Now you can easily make a line diagram of this column in Excel using the option Insert -> Graphic. In the same way you can add a second column of another replay file, make a graphic of both columns for a perfect comparrison between to replays. Read the readme file for more options. Or.... Wait until Juha finished the Windows version :) Andre
