Hi all,

I've been rather busy these months...

With what? A comic book... a what? A comic book of GPL!

In the attachment you will find a report off the 1967 race @ Monza in comic book style.

I've tried to make the story as realistic as possible. However not all info was present so i've taken the liberty of asuming some facts.

See the attachment below.

The comic book is also downloadable at my website : https://home.planet.nl/~aquisate/index.htm

Look under downloads (who whould have figured out that ey?)

N-joy.

(Oh and Walt you might have a look @ the credits coss your in there as well )

Downloading, I'll have to read it later though.

I've not read it with calm yet, anyway:
Good work!!!

My favourites are raytraced shadows and sun reflections on road as well....

WOW Martin you're a mate Full of Surprises and Loads of Talent bro !
Absolutely Fantastic a Treasure as burnt this never to loose it. Could only imagine how long this took.

Thanks for sharing this Martin
Cheers Quattro

What he said

Awesome stuff


Cheers,
Mike.

So THAT was it...

I guess my horizon was a little bit too limited to think of this possibility. But who said everything about GPL had to be at least half serious?

Brilliant.

ON-GE-LOO- FE-LIJK

Sorry , when I get emotional I go back to dutch again.

so THAT'S what you've been up to Martin.
Knew you were making something pretty great of course but this????
Thanks very much man, I take my hat of.(and so does Clay, or something)

Caspar.

Keith aka Dangermouse be a Mate and turn this thread into a sticky in your GPL section so we don't have to go looking for it. This is most certainly something which GPL dieharders would enjoy.

Great stuff, Mech !!

$%&+£!!! This is brilliant, Martin!!

Many thanks

Thx, for the replies guys

You deserve to be proud - great work!

WOW.. that was fantastic.

Thanks for posting it for us all to read.

Great work, well done

Very cool mech

How clever! Had a look through and it looks great! What a super idea!

Sneak-preview
Can you guess what's comin' next?
The grid is almost complete....see ya in a couple off months

Hummm - wet Mosport with a (modified?) '65 BRM. You certainly are aware that the #12 car in '67 looked very different.

Yes

But as i'm progressing with the graphics there are always the next hurdles to take

The front wheels don't want to spin if i mix honda and brm wheels. But since i'm only making it for graphics i can work around that.

here's also a Sample off Amon

Just saw it over at RSC. Very good!

If you need any reference material or realism check, you know I'll do my best to help you create another masterpiece.

Thx for the offer

I'll post the driver.ini and the graphic files here later (e.g. hob12a.3do and hob12a.mip etc..) However i used a mix off the gplea honda 67 and gplea brm 65 so i'll have to zip the murasama folder complete coss i had to mess with so many files

Pity i can't add another car so now i'll have to swop mike fisher's lotus 33 and David Hobbs BRM into the murasama folder whenever i want to make a screenshot

Would you be willing to check for realistic decals/striping, helmet colours etc...?

And if you have any background material other than what i got from www.intothered.dk and sutton i'ld be very happy

As long as it's not too urgent, sure. I'll have to take my last two (oral) A-level exams some time between the 9th and the 14th of June, but after that I won't have anything to do.

My folder with Mosport pictures contains 138 ATM, of which many are certainly in there several times. That's all I've got to check your work. (apart from some general knowledge like helmet designs and so on, of course)

(Edit: no. of pics now reduced to ~100)

No rush Flop

Here's the preliminairy set (still some work to do i guess, for instance i think i need to lift the side labels off shell etc. and the name and no.20 aswell on the fez)

Before yous start this it's best to backup the 67 carfolder and copy the driver.ini to a safe place so you can restore things

You need to drop the .mips'and .3do's in the specific car folders off the gplea 1967 set. From what i've noticed off your remarks i think you know what goes were If not just let me know and i'll explain more..
Further you need to copy the brm.dat from the full 65 set and rename that to murasama.dat and drop it in the murasama folder. Then copy the files from the murasama-hobbs (from the zip) folder into the murasama folder. Drop the driver.ini into the gpl directory.

You probably know how to view the carset but in case you need a hand:start a practice, skip to race,exit and save the practice. Use svg-edit to re-arrange the grid to the actual 67 racegrid for realism start a race and after a few secs. stop and save the replay. start gplfccm and pan around the starting grid.

ta for now

P.S. let me know once you have the data so i can remove this here (keeping things a bit tidy )

Got it. Let's see when I'll take a first look (not before the weekend, but then I may have more time than I'd expect).

gplfccm? Never worked with that, I'll just go through allcam and TV cams and see if it seems right.

PS: Yes, I hope by now I roughly know what goes where.

Took a first look at the mips. It's a good start, as long as you know that Pease ran with a non-standard design.

Apart from that, the names on the cars probably involve the biggest inaccuracies - minor details!

For those who like a comic book style team info menu set :

Very cool!!

Martin very cool mate!
Cheers Walt

wow

too cool martin

thanks
tommi

Thanks Martin

Only the red Eagle is a bit confusing for me

To make it more confusing....it's actually a McLaren

Maybe i'll drop in a real Eagle when i find some time
