 GP2 EdWin 1.0 for Windows 3.1/95

 Game editor for Microprose's Grand Prix 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 I've tested it with most of GP2 versions - Spanish, Dutch, Italian, French,
German, UK and US. If this editor doesn't support your GP2 version, mail me.
 

1) INSTALLATION
 Files:
       pict.vbx
       bivbx11.dll
 copy to SYSTEM directory, of your Windows directory.
 Now, you can run gp2edwin.exe. GP2EdWin can be placed in any directory.

2) DEFAULT FILES
 Files:
      org.edw
      gp2.pal
 are a part of GP2EdWin, so DON'T MODIFY THEM!
     
3) FEW WORDS ABOUT SOME FEATURES
 - driver numbers
  Driver 'number' is in GP2 also used as ID for getting specific data etc.
  So, if you want to have driver ID=1 with number '0' or '1', you need to
  look at 'Misc. settings #1' page.

 - Enable/Disable Team
  As you know, originaly are 14 teams, but you can select more or less number
  of teams. Each team must have 2 drivers. IF YOU SWITCH TEAM FROM DISABLE TO
  ENABLE STATE, FIRST MAKE SURE THAT THOSE DRIVERS HAVE UNIQUE NUMBERS!!!
 
 - Probability of car failure
  0 means that this car is 100% perfect. Maximum value is 65535, and it is
  highest probability of car failure.

 - Grip
  If driver's grip value is higher than 17016, the background is red. That is
  why, becouse automatic calculations of grid won't be correct with this and
  higher value of driver's grip. Everything will be OK, if you are using
  'Accelereted time' to finish the all qualification sessions.

 - Random power
  You can set off this option, if you want always the same value for player's
  or computer's engine.

 - Cockpit color editor
  Colors at details and at pallete are closest to real GP2, but not really
  the same.
 
4) PLAYER'S CAR AND COMPUTER'S CARS
 - which computer's cars settings changes performance of player's car?
  Only 'car failure' value is copied to player's car performance data. And
  it is equal to value of team what you choose. The same thing is with
  pit box position. 
  'Car weight' is for both, player's car and computer's cars.

5) REMEMBER GP2CCPE?
 - It was my first program which changes some data as this program. But
  gp2ccpe has some errors, so please delete your copy of gp2ccpe and use
  this editor. I hope, this one will work better!

6) THE PEOPLE
 'Pit line limit' was found and described by Martin Granberg. He also has own
 program to change this: gp2misc.
 Martin, and many people from Internet help me with supporting different GP2
 language versions. Also about 100 people send me bugs reports after using
 gp2ccpe. 
                    Thanx!!!

 Special thanx to Dave Gymer who is manager of 'gp2-hackers' mailling list.
 You can read more info about it at Dave's WWW page:

 Yeah, I wrote this tool using Delphi 1.0. I'am looking for people with 
 knowledge and experience in programing under Delphi, to help me improving
 this program.
