Rain in GPL (An Experiment)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- This is nothing more than a failed experiment. I'm not able to get spray to display behind more than a few cars at a time and after a while the game just crashes (memory leak?). In any case, it proves one thing - GPL's default code has the ability to simulate rainy conditions, but isn't quite ready to do so yet. After spending a few days on it I realised that resolving these problem is beyond my ability so I'm not going to work on this any further. If there are any professional coders out there who wish to give this a crack, drop me a comment below.
I had this thought too - to see it working is absolutely fantastic, even in this state!
Even the shape of the spray is just like the fantastic shots from Spa '66 in Grand Prix!
I wish you lots of luck in finding someone to help.
It is frankly amazing how many doors still could be opened with this game, if only we had the people for it!
I know right!? There's still so much potential to be unlocked
The "Holy Grail" of mod development for GPL which we likely not see properly implemented into the game very good job making the wet weather to fit the "driving throught a painting" artstyle of GPL.
I think if Nigel Pattinson still walked among us, he would solve this problem within a few hours. The solution can't be much different to what he did when he increased the number of tracks above 64 or enabled circuits longer than 25km. Except I have no idea how he did that and there is no one else left within the GPL community who has that level of knowledge or ability. Hence if anyone reading this would like a challenge and can do the same kind of low level programming as Nigel Pattinson, or even better, IS Nigel Pattinson...mail me.
Incredibly good and already more than impressive!!! WOW 👍👍👍
If you are an expert coder and fancy a crack at resolving the issue, please contact me!
The lightning looks very cool!
The track is Mosport Rain version and wasn't made by me. It is a work of art though.
god, imagine if someone could decompile and reverse engineer the GPL engine...there's no telling what we could make.
Technically that was already done, though it couldn't be decompiled back to the original source code. A lot of what goes on inside GPL's physics engine is well known hence why we have mods
It's a very good looking game for 1998!
Very nice work.
Very good effort, sad it´s crashing!
ive downloaded GPL2020 Demo but menu flickers, ive disabled vsync in NVIDIA Control Panel still screen flickers
You need to use the OGLV2 Rasteriser. It won't flicker then
