GPL Enhancements from Papyrus
Since GPL's release in October 1998, Papyrus has published
a number of important enhancements. These enhancements are all
available at the Papyrus GPL Downloads page.
While these enhancements were released as unsupported betas,
all have been used extensively by the GPL community and are highly
recommended. The GPL 1.2 patch is required for racing GPL
on VROC!
- GPL 1.2. This patch incorporates extensive enhancements
to GPL's online capabilities, enabling it to interface with the
latest versions of WinVROC and JavaVROC. It also delivers much
improved racing, with smoother screen flow and less "warping"
of remote cars.
- GPL Disco Fix. This patch fixes the one problem in
online racing that GPL 1.2 didn't fix: involuntary disconnects.
With this patch and a good Internet connection, for most users
"discos" are rare or almost nonexistent.
- Direct3D Rasterizer. This allows you to use almost
any Direct3D-compatible video card, including TNT2, GeForce,
ATI Rage Fury Pro, and others. It also outperforms the OpenGL
and 3Dfx rasterizers on some machines, and can be used to avoid
problems some people encounter with these rasterizers.
- OpenGL Rasterizer. This allows you to use OpenGL on
nVidia cards such as TNT2 and GeForce, giving another alternative
for optimizing GPL on a wide variety of machines.
None of these downloads are large; GPL 1.2 is 1.3 mb and the
rest are much smaller.
