- F1GP Helmet file Editor Version 1.1
- Written By Stephen Leary.
-
- Ok!
-
- This little utility is used to edit the helmets that appear in the
- "Driver Selection" Menu. The reason I wrote this program is because
- F1GP-ED by Oliver Roberts did a fantastic job of Updating F1GP, but
- It looked a bit silly With Nigel Mansell, Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost's
- helmets on the menu screen.
-
- So with this utility you can add new helmets or swap helmets about.
-
- How Does It work?
-
- There are three options in F1GP-HFED.
-
- (V)iew - Viewing. Boaring, lets you view a F1GP Helmet File.
- Pressing f1 lets you view helmets from 01 to 30, f1
- selects helmets 10 to 40.
-
- (S)wap - Swaps a helmet from one driver number to another. Used for when a
- Driver changes teams.
-
- (G)rab - The most exciting of the them all. Takes a Bitmap off an ILBM
- screen image (DPAINT, PPAINT, BRILLIANCE..ECT) decompresses it
- and then takes a selectable 48 x 48 pixel image and places it
- in the selected Driver number.
-
- USAGE
-
- If you wanted to view a file called "F1GP_DISK_#3:HELMETS.USP" the
- apropriate command is :-
-
- > F1GP-HFED V F1GP_DISK_#3:HELMETS.USP
-
- If you wanted to Swap helmet No.19 and Helmet No.1 in the file
- "f1gp_disk_#3:helmets.usp" then you should type :-
-
- > F1GP-HFED S 19 01 f1gp_disk_#3:helmets.usp
-
- NOTE:- It's Important to put a Zero infront of single digit no.s in
- the command line. eg. 1 = 01, 9 = 09
-
- The grabing is a little more complicated. I have Included two ILBM files
- which contain pre-drawn or original in game helmets to get you started.
-
- Helmet Images are 48 x 48 pixel images. when a grab is requested
- F1GP-HFED decompresses the image acording to the second parameter
- will select one of 6 images and place it into the driver no. which is
- specified in the first parameter.
-
- The Images must be side by side on the top row of the screen
- (see the layout of the demo pictures).
-
- Once you have entered the viewing part of F1GP-HFED pressing space
- will bring up a Dialog box. Pressing Y to confirm or N to Cancel.
-
- Unfortunatly I am no artist so the Images I knocked up for Damon Hill
- and David Coulthard are not very good but if anyone else does better
- send them to Oliver Roberts or myself. Thanks.
-
- Since this program is Freeware I cannot accept any liablity for any damage
- or loss of data brought about through the use of this program. So always
- edit a backup of the original file.
-
- This program is freely distriblutable so long as no part of the program
- or Documentation or program itself are modified. And so long as it
- is not sold for profit. This includes the coverdisks of magazines (unless
- my permission is given).
-
- Thank you.
