Car Screenshots Made Easy!
--------------------------

A new feature has been added to GeneRally version 1.04, the F11 preview
screenshot key. Unlike the regular F12 screenshot key within the game (which
takes screenshots at the full GeneRally game resolution), this new feature will
create small thumbnail-sized preview screenshots. This makes creating car
preview screenshots within the game even easier than in previous versions.

To create a car preview screenshot of your new car creation, first download
either:

my "Auto Nation Dealership Car Lots" tracks (a_nation.zip) from
http://www.cmoo.com/~snor/weeds/a_nation.zip,

and/or Strava's "New Car Showrooms" tracks (showroom.zip) from
http://members.aol.com/stravagpl/showroom.zip.

Simply start a race with your new car on one of these "utility" tracks, and
press F11 within the game to take a screenshot. Then directly convert the
resulting Shot0000.bmp (found in your "GeneRally\Screens" folder) to a GIF
format image using your image editing program of choice, and upload it with
your car. No resizing required. The resulting 320x240 images when directly
converted to GIF format are real small in filesize.

The size of the image can be adjusted by editing the "ScreenshotWidth" and
"ScreenshotHeight" entries contained in your GR.ini advanced game options file
using any text editor (such as Windows Notepad), but for our purposes of
creating small thumbnail-sized car preview screenshots, leave these settings at
their defaults of 320x240.

Note that the "ScreenshotFormat = BMP" entry (also contained in your GR.ini
advanced game options file) currently has no effect. The current version of the
game only supports BMP format images for the F11 preview screenshot feature (so
you will still need to convert the screenshots to GIF format images using your
image editing program of choice).

Simple, quick, easy, and foolproof -:)
