System information::
If installed correctly, gpxpatch.exe is in the same directory as GPx.EXE, and this directory contains a subdirectory called gpxpdata.
To uninstall, run uninst-gpxpatch.exe. This won't remove all files, since they may contain settings you want to keep. To remove it completely, delete the gpxpdata directory manually.
The GUI shows tabs where you can configure general options, and separate tabs for configuring the sub extensions:
Below that are three buttons: "Start GPx" will save changes and start the game, "Quit" will save changes and quit, and "Help" will try to show this help file in your browser (the F1 key will show documentation for the selected tab). At the left is a "Language" combobox with which you can change the language of the GPxPatch dialogs. If available, F1 and the Help button will also show the documentation in that language.Esc | Pressing escape will quit GPxPatch without saving changes. |
Ctrl+I | Some settings are only editable directly in the .ini files used by GPxPatch and its extensions. Use this shortcut to open the .ini file of the currently selected tab. |
Ctrl+L | Will open the log file of the currently selected tab. |
Ctrl+Shift+L | Will open the gpxpload.txt log file. |
Ctrl+S | Will start GPx. Same as pressing the "Start GPx" button. |
