Of course, you can add any missing names yourself. You can add both variations of Hulkenberg.

That sounds great. I've also just noticed your screenie of the new classic font at the top of the prior page, it looks awesome. I personally love the late 90s era when those graphics where about.

Thanks. That brings me to another question: should the shadow be optional?

Your decision . I like it with shadow, but if you want to spend the time, you can make it optional .

Speaking of classic, is it possible to have other car numbers besides 0-23?

Speaking of classic, is it possible to have other car numbers besides 0-23? I plan on using 24-43, but I don't think Classic has numbers over 23.

I've uploaded a new blue.tga that you can put in gpxpdata\gfx. It goes from 0-39 instead of 0-30.
I'll include it in the next version by default.

many many many thanks rene! highly appreciated! you're a legend!!!!

Perhaps, you can use the custom three_letter_codes.ini only for cases where your 3 rules do not create the correct abbreviation?

The problem is that generic code doesn't know what is correct and what is not
Its correctness is defined by the rules, but the real codes are probably not defined by rules but made up by someone.

What about having the option in GPxPatch to choose between default and a custom three_letter_codes.ini?

My idea was to read the .ini and use the generic code as fallback.

Sounds good Would that mean the program could mix the two? As in, if it wasn't found in the .ini then use generic? That way you could use the .ini for exceptions only

What about reading it from the performance file ? Like this :

First Driver=1,Michael Schumacher,16384,512,16384,512,MSC

My workthread here

i have a small problem with the new blue tga for the numbers. If i use the tga, the numbers will be dispayed correct, but the performance file is totally mixed. It means i have now Brabham as Blundell, Barrichelllo as Bernard a.s.o. it happens only for the names, the drivers are correct in their cars

Yes, that's what I meant, actually.

I can't imagine the .tga affects the names. Could you send me the performance file so I can reproduce it?

That would be nice too, but can the existing tools handle this?
