GPL- Who uses the AI tweaker?

20 posts by 8 people · 11 Jul 2000 - 14 Jul 2000 08:05 UTC

Using AI Tweak for competitive GPL races

Players discussed whether they use the AI Tweak utility to adjust GPL's opponent speed. Rob Adams described instead resetting the AI to defaults and making player.sts read-only to keep Novice-level opposition beatable, and others debated how AI levels interact with championship modes. A download link for AI Tweak was shared.

I used it for a while, but then I stopped. What I did instead was use AI Tweak to reset all AI to their original values, then make my PLAYER.STS file read/only. Then I just started racing Novice. Once you get to a reasonable level of ability, you should be able to compete there. For example, at Monza the qualifying time is between 1:30 and 1:31. If you can compete on-line then you should be able to compete with the Novice AI. You can even run the World Champ at Novice level.

Huh? If you run the championship at novice level, you're *all* at novice level.... Did I misunderstand someone's statement/question?

Naaa i think someone misunderstood the original stuff above thinking that he wanted to run a championship in a trainer car. with AI tweak u can set the AI to run at Novice lap times in Championship mode, just can't change them to Trainers Martyn_D EldredP wrote:

Yeah, that's what I meant. World Champ using F1 cars at the Novice (vs. Intermediate, etc.) level. But you don't have to use the AI tweaker. Just make sure the AI are at their initial level (i.e. the level they were when you installed GPL). I'm currently at the 4th race (Spa) tied for 2nd place with: Kya: 2nd, Monaco: 4th (after starting on pole), Zandy: 3rd (after starting on pole). Fun way to improve your times one track at a time.

Errrr i don't believe that actually works... When u load up AItweak, it shows a default AI skill level of 1.0 for PRO/GP races. Where as Novice shows 1.2 (the default at which GPL starts) I kinda think the 1.0 above takes precedence when u jump into a championship doesn't it? wish i could remember lol I helped with the last version of aitweak lol Martyn_D Rob wrote:

Yikes, I dunno. I used AI tweak a while to try to get a competitive (slower) race at Monza, then I discovered that at Novice level I was beating them easily. So I pressed any "Default" button I could find in AI Tweak, and set my player.sts file to read/only. So I don't really know what level of "tweak" the AI is at. I assumed that it was back to square 1. I was planning to just race each track at Novice until I could get top 3. I wasn't EVER planning on doing the World Champ because I thought it only ran at GP length. But I thought I should at least look, and you can specify Novice. If lap times help, my 1:30.96 at Monaco was pole, as was my 1:29.17. Either way, I'm having tons of fun running the championship. I'm cheating of course - if I crash out of a race or even get a really bad start, I exit and try again. But if I get passed fair and square by the AI I don't exit. Hence the 4th at Monaco. I led for the first half, then crashed at the chicane and lost 3 spots.

I guess if you set everything to default, yer sts read only (delete it then restart gpl so it gets created again, then make it readonly). You should now be set at just like it came outta the box, and it will stay that way with yer sts read only I'm just pretty sure the AI will be faster at PRO levels than Novice tho MArtyn_D Either way , just enjoy it Rob wrote:

If you saw my other note you'll see that I CHEAT!! <g> I keep at qualifying until I get front row - abandoning races until that happens. Then if I screw up at the start or during the race I abandon. I only complete a race if I'm doing well. GPL's pretty nice about that - it saves your qualifying times if you want, and doesn't save race results if you quit early. If I get passed fair and square I don't quit but if I spin I quit - I don't want to finish out of the points. So yeah, I have to be fast enough to compete, but it's not an all-or-nothing thing. I really want to see what happens when you win a season (people who have, please don't tell me!). You (Eldred) should be able to get the same results as me - until yesterday we were basically tied in GPL Rank (then I found a few seconds at Mosport and Spa). And keep in mind this is a NOVICE world champ - the AI cars are considerably slower at that level (F1 cars (not trainers), but Novice level). I have a little spreadsheet that simulates GPL Rank but uses average novice qual times as the benchmark and I'm in the 30's, most of which is at the Ring.

Nah, I always f-up somewhere... I should have won at least 4 races when I used the Ferrari during a season.
