I wonder if someone could help me out sourcing the patches for GPL?

I have been having a nightmare trying to find the files anywhere on the internet to download, I just can find them at all, im looking for...

The 60FPS patch

The latest all in one installer (all links here are dead, http://srmz.net/index.php?showtopic=2621&st=0 … 132&#entry18132)

Many thanks.

Thank you very much indeed for that very quick reply, I promise you that I did search on google before posting here but I kept coming up with dead link after dead link. Thanks again.

I think it is more recommended to use the newer All-in-one installer:

I was going to post links to the awesome 1969 GPL mod but my links are dead. You want to get the GEM mod manager [there are a few of iterations] and the 1969 mod - incredible stuff.

If I can track down the relocated sites I'll get back.

Needed a place to stash this, it's getting hard to find for those who want it.

Glide2x.zip
Unofficial 3Dfx GPL patch-O-matic

<5/8/99>                                                   <v. 1.0.0.8>

=======================================================================

* Construction *

Base : Visual C++ 6.0
Editor(s) used : Emacs
Known Bugs : Small mouse flickering when starting a race
Build Time : Two days


* Installation *

Unzip to GPL directory. Note: the real 3Dfx Glide2x.dll file MUST
be located in your Windows system directory for this patch to work
(that is where all driver installations put it, so that shouldn't be
a problem) or in a location specified in the INI file.

Configure the options in the Glide.ini file (read them carefully
please). Start up GPL, make sure the GPL configured resolution
is the same as the resolution you configure in the INI file if
you are using the resolution override feature.

For Win2k users the resolution override must be enabled in order
to prevent GPL from exiting back to the desktop (as of 3dfx Win2k
Glide2x 2.61.00.0657 version). Everyone else will probably want
to disabled resolution override as it shrinks the each menu screen.


* Uninstallation *

Delete Glide2x.dll, Glide.ini, and GPLForm.txt from your GPL
directory.


* Other Information *

This is a file that intercepts calls made by the GPL
rasterizer into the 3Dfx Glide DLL. This allows me to change
parameters into Glide and alter return values from Glide to
accomplish various tasks such as altering the mirrors and
preventing video mode switches.

Show last 63 lines
The main goal is to make GPL run faster by removing the
bottlenecks associated with the odd way Papyrus choose
to implement mirrors in Glide. As a nice bonus the
mirror can become a bit more useful albeit at the expense
of realism.

* History *

1.0.0.8 - Direct mirror rendering relies on keyboard hook
logic instead of polygon location logic, as a
result all known issues have been addressed

1.0.0.7 - Added touring car style mirrors to in-car driving

1.0.0.6 - Added 3Dfx Glide path option in INI file

1.0.0.5 - Mouse trails no longer appear along right side
and bottom of menus

1.0.0.4 - Fixed problems with Voodoo3 splash screen DLL
(3DfxSpl2.dll), patch should now work with 3Dfx
Voodoo3 cards

1.0.0.3 - Fixed screenshots not working when mirrors modified

- Added ability to turn off screen resolution override
(for Voodoo 1/2 owners who just want to mess with the
mirror settings)

- Remapped GPL Glide calls back into 3Dfx Glide DLL for
all functions that do not need to be overridden,
this brings performance back to the level of running
GPL directly with 3Dfx Glide

1.0.0.2 - Minor bug fixes

1.0.0.1 - Added INI file/options, added mirror modifications

1.0.0.0 - Initial Release
