Replacing sounds etc in GPL

There is a pack/unpack utility (can't remember where), but normally you don't need to pack the new sounds into the .dat file. If you just put the sounds into the correct directory, GPL will automatically read them in place of the equivalent sounds inside the .dat file. Pretty convenient, as it means you can get rid of the non-.dat files later and you're back to the default sounds. Give Papy another star!

GPL is great for new sounds and car skins because you don't have to repack the DAT file :-D Just place the new sound files in the appropriate folder.... GPL/sounds ... or wherever the corresponding DAT file is. Jason .

I have just started downloading some enhanced sounds (.wav files) for GPL and I understand I need a pack/unpack utility to insert them into the .dat file. I haven't managed to track this utility down - can anyone point me in the right direction please? -- Bryn

Hey, Guys I thought you needed Nigel Patinson's CarSound.exe in order to have different engine notes for the different marques. Isn't that so? Kurt

It worked for me with GPL v1.1

Hey, Erik -- Now, I'm confused. When the 1.1 patch was released, I did a completely new install of GPL, applied 1.1 and then a bunch of other graphics and sound patches, including Nigel's sound utility. I have seven different car sounds (downloaded from various places) plus different f2 and f3 sounds. If I'm understanding you, that shouldn't be possible? Please explain. Thanks! Kurt

Only if you want a unique sound for each and every car. GPL uses the same engine sound for different cars. Nigel's utility doesn't work with v1.1 BTW. -- Erik Frechette The Pits Grand Prix Legends www.theuspits.com/owheel/gpl/gpl.html > Hey, Guys > I thought you needed Nigel Patinson's CarSound.exe in order to have > different engine notes for the different marques.

It is possible...it works fine. Let's hope it does so for the next patch, too!! Marc. > Hey, Erik -- > Now, I'm confused.
