  I am little surprised of the few reactions here,
  Does all Gplers switched to OGL to not take notice ?

I switched to OGL, so I could use pribluda.
Also I am a `if it isn´t broken don´t fix it` person, I just want to drive!

So I must admit I didn´t noticed it was a new (better) version brr made  

Thanks for open up my eyes, and a big for you Peteri!

I switched to openGL and was quite happy with what I had. Strangely, on the day that brr released this, I'd been mucking around with the 'blackbarratio' setting. After I'd put the setting back to what it was, Prib would no longer refresh properly. The next post I looked at was this one. I installed the new prib and it all worked beautifully straight up. I tried D3D but I found better frame rates with openGL and no difference in quality that I could discern on my nVidia 9600GT, so I stuck with openGL.

Still, having the option is great and very welcome by many people who perhaps have not posted their thanks or maybe haven't seen it yet. So I'll say thanks once again on their behalf, Great work Peteri!

PS I'm am unaware of the need to go anywhere else for GPL related news and discussion than SRMZ. Thanks Bill and Keith!

Thank you Petteri
I've been away a week so I just see this.
I'm gonna try it ASAP

When I started out in oktober last year I run D3D with my ATI HD2600Pro.
Pribluda is a tool I can't miss. Gives me valid information. OpenGL gave me to much problems,
so I stayed with D3D and a working 1.1.1.0 Pribluda.

The 2.0 version from Ntoxicated worked but was hard to read on my 20" widescreen.

Last night I installed Pribluda 1.1.2.1 straight from the box.
I had more troubles setting up 1680x1050 in GEM with the new rastisizers then installing Pribluda,
but sorted that out real quick thx to this forum. Just changed my screen settings in the core.ini.
Now I just have to change pribluda.ini a little bit to my preferences.

Finally running on D3Dv2 with Pribluda thx to BRR.

[ginetto]

Tried it and it seems to work fine with D3Dv2

EDIT: A question; do I need to tweak the transparency value to get better FPS in D3Dv2 as in ntoxicated version?

MLG nice doggie in your avatar, here's my splitface

Hi Ginetto,

I don't think you can tweak transparency because alphablend is not mentioned in the pribluda.ini.
Just old fashion black bars and drivernames.

Thanks for the info
I thought this line in the .ini was for transparency, now I guess is not:
blackBarRatio = 0.1041

Hi,

I never tried the old Pribludas (only been playing GPL a few months and used D3Dv2 for most of that so it wasn't available to me).

Have just come across this thread, though so I downloaded it straight away.  It's a very handy tool so thanks to Brr for the hard work.

However, it seems to be making my framerate suffer somewhat - down to no higher than 30.1 and as low as 20 at times.

None of the other mods or add-ons I have had any effect on my framerate, which has always run at 36 (or 60 in that mode.)

Is it possible to increase fps by only using certain Pribluda features (I'm mostly only interested in the split-time info and dashboard bar - I'm good enough to look at the rest and drive at the same time!)

In OpenGL I get a slightly better framerate - but the numbers are upside-down!  I generally don't use OpenGL though, because the track seems to turn blue in places, but that is probably an issue for another thread)

Thanks for any comments

Most of the fps hit is probably caused by the graphical output so switching off panels should help.

Try the outline fonts with openglv2 (in Pribluda version 1.1.2.1), they should be correctly oriented. See README for instructions.

I've no Prib. showing in d3d nor ogl, v2, since adding 1120?  Thanks for anyone's help.

Got prib back by replacing prib files with backups.

hallo adam ;
I had the same problem ,fps was going down .
Wat I have done is turned off ( trackpositionboard ) and ( leaderboard ) even turned off  playerboard to , but this was not nassecery for me .
You can do this with the F key or if you go to your pripluba configuration folder in GPl setting the 1 to 0 .

I finally got it to work...thanks guys
Now...
Is there a list that shows which keys control the different Pribluda functions? (Instead of 0 X 75, 0 X 7b, etc shown in the ini)
Also, the indicator is "in" the MPH readout. How do I move those?
Thanks in advance
