Most of these programs are also available on the "F1GP Accessories" disk. I used to send regularly updates of this disk to 17 Bit Software (PD library in the UK), but as 17 Bit (and many other PD libraries) aren't as interested in selling floppy disks nowadays I don't send them updates very often :( @{b}Software@{ub} @{" SplitTime " link SplitTime} @{" AGPPerf " link AGPPerf} @{" GPDisplay " link GPDisplay} @{" AGPLapTime " link AGPLapTime} @{" AGPLap " link AGPLap} @{" AGPLapMix " link AGPLapMix} @{" AGPLapD " link AGPLapD} @{" F1GP-SaveEd " link F1GP-SaveEd} @{" F1GP-HFED " link F1GP-HFED} @{" F1GP Backdrop Datatype " link BKG_DT} @{" SnapshotF1GP " link Snap} @{" F1GP-RES " link F1GP-RES} @{" HoF-Analyzer " link HoF-Ana} @{" HoFPoints " link HoFPoints} @{" HoF Qualifier " link HoFQ} @{b}Competitions@{ub} @{" Internet Amiga F1GP Championship " link IAF1GPC} @{" Amiga F1GP Hall of Fame " link HOF} @{b}Resources@{ub} @{" Amiga F1GP PerfBase " link PerfBase} @{" Amiga F1GP Mailing List " link ML} @{" Amiga F1GP Webring " link ring} @endnode @node SplitTime "SplitTime 1.7" @{b}SplitTime 1.7 (5.8.97)@{ub} by René Smit (rsdi@xs4all.nl) Aminet: game/misc/SplitTime.lha WWW: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/ http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/SplitTime.html SplitTime is a utility that displays split times at every quarter of a track while you drive F1GP (so you need that game to use it). Not only the splittimes are displayed, but also the best splittimes before they show up (like on TV). There are 3 split times on every track and they are at exactly 25%, 50% and 75% distances, while on TV they now use only 2 split times (intermediates) at specific points on the track. @endnode @node AGPPerf "AGPPerf 0.5i" @{b}AGPPerf 0.5i (21.10.95)@{ub} by Grant Reeve (reeve1@cs.waikato.ac.nz) Aminet: game/misc/AGPPerf.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/AGPPerf.html This program is based fairly loosely on the PC version of GPPerf. It records telemetry of your F1 car as you drive around the track in F1GP, and allows you to then save it to disk for viewing with some other displaying utility (ie @{"GPDisplay" link GPDisplay}). It also puts some cute extra little lights on the dashboard. @endnode @node GPDisplay "GPDisplay 0.02" @{b}GPDisplay 0.02 (3.10.95)@{ub} by Grant Reeve (reeve1@cs.waikato.ac.nz) Aminet: game/misc/GPDisplay.lha game/misc/GPDisplayTrack.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/GPDisplay.html This program will display perf files saved from @{"AGPPerf" link AGPPerf}, or directly from AGPPerfs memory. It allows comparison and analysis of up to 4 perf files at once, plus it has some (very) rudimentary editing facilities. @endnode @node AGPLapTime "AGPLapTime 1.2" @{b}AGPLapTime 1.2 (17.6.97)@{ub} by René Smit (rsdi@xs4all.nl) Aminet: game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/AGPLapTime.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/ This program can record various things whilst you are driving. It can be set up to record a whole race. The resulting log file can be viewed by an appropriate displaying utility (eg @{"AGPLap" link AGPLap}). During a race for example all fastest laps are recorded along with speed factors, driving aids and the horsepower. Pit stops, damage, crashes, setups and many other things are logged. @endnode @node AGPLap "AGPLap 1.1" @{b}AGPLap 1.1 (21.12.96)@{ub} by René Smit (rsdi@xs4all.nl) Aminet: game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/AGPLapTime.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/ Processes log files created by @{"AGPLapTime" link AGPLapTime}, and produces text describing virtually every aspect of the race in detail. Here is a brief snippet of output from a Brazil race log file: Car DriverName Lap Pos LapTime BestTime RaceTime Diff ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #30 Heinz-Harald Frentzen 1 20 Pitstop, in FW RW 0h02m08.548s #21 Pedro Paulo Diniz 1 21 2:00.072 =2:00.072 0h02m08.948s + 0:43.487 # 8 Mika Hakkinen 1 20 Pitstop, out 0h02m14.033s pit 22.874 #30 Heinz-Harald Frentzen 1 21 Pitstop, out 0h02m31.318s pit 22.770 *39 Oliver Roberts 2 1 1:19.133 =1:19.133! 0h02m44.594s Fastest lap 1:19.133 by Oliver Roberts, 716 HP, Ace, 18700 AIG, aids 0 # 5 Damon Hill 2 2 1:21.300 =1:21.300 0h02m48.514s + 0:03.920 @endnode @node AGPLapMix "AGPLapMix 0.3" @{b}AGPLapMix 0.3 (14.1.96)@{ub} by Grant Reeve (reeve1@cs.waikato.ac.nz) Aminet: game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/AGPLapTime.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/ Merges separate @{"AGPLaptime" link AGPLapTime} log files together in one log file. For example, in the @{"Internet F1GP Championship" link IAF1GPC} all the drivers could send in log files of their races. This program can then take all these log files, an recreate the race as if everybody was racing together. @endnode @node AGPLapD "AGPLapD 0.2ß1" AGPLapD 0.2ß1 (13.11.96)@{ub} by Grant Reeve (reeve1@cs.waikato.ac.nz) Aminet: game/misc/AGPLapTime.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/AGPLapTime.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsdi/ A graphical logfile displayer, similar to @{"GPDisplay" link GPDisplay}, for use in conjunction with @{"AGPLapTime" link AGPLapTime}. @endnode @node F1GP-SaveEd "F1GP-SaveEd 1.1" @{b}F1GP-SaveEd 1.1 (19.10.97)@{ub} by Mario Sarno Aminet: game/misc/F1GP-SaveEd.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/F1GP-SaveEd.html Allows you to change various settings in your F1GP end of race save game. The following settings can be changed: · The result of every race in the season so far · The name of every driver, and also which driver is a computer/human driver · The names of every Team, and also their Engine names. You can also change which driver drives for them. @endnode @node F1GP-HFED "F1GP-HFED" @{b}F1GP-HFED (1.2.96)@{ub} by Stephen Leary (9600149L@student.gla.ac.uk) WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/F1GP-HFED.html Allows you to alter the helmet images on the driver selection screen in the game. Simply design your helmets in any decent paint package and use this program to convert them into the game. Maybe useful to some people I guess, but depends on how often you visit the driver select screen (ie me -> very rarely :-) @endnode @node BKG_DT "F1GP Backdrop Datatype 1.1" @{b}f1gp_bkg.datatype 1.1 (13.1.97)@{ub} by Oliver Roberts (oliver.roberts@inet.com) Aminet: util/dtype/f1gp_bkg_dt.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/bkg_dt.html The F1GP Backdrop datatype is a picture datatype for displaying any of the backdrop files (filename suffix .bkg) supplied with F1GP. All of these images are sized 320x200 and have a 32 colour palette. Requires Workbench 3.0 or higher. @endnode @node Snap "SnapshotF1GP 1.0" @{b}Snapshot 1.0 (14.12.97)@{ub} by Oliver Roberts (oliver.roberts@inet.com) Aminet: game/misc/SnapshotF1GP.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/SnapshotF1GP.html SnapshotF1GP is a program which can be used to take in-game "screenshots" from F1GP. As well as being able to take static screenshots, there is an option which automatically stores multiple successive frames from the game which can then be used to make an animation Requires Workbench 2.0 or higher. @endnode @node F1GP-RES "F1GP-RES 2.0" @{b}F1GP-RES 2.0 (29.3.96)@{ub} by Edo Nijmeijer (130588@student.fbk.eur.nl) Aminet: game/misc/F1GP-RES.lha WWW: http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/utils/F1GP-RES.html F1GP-Record Entry System - mainly a utility for use by @{"Hall of Fame" link HOF} participants.
