Over four months in the making... ...presenting the "GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack v1.0"! This pack contains a set of twentyfour cars, twelve drivers, two sound packs, one track, as well as a cool new driver color setting utility! To install the GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack, simply unzip the contents of ZIPZAPS.ZIP to your main GeneRally game directory maintaining the directory structure contained in the archive. All of the various documents that are included in the ZIPZAPS.ZIP archive are listed below. For full enjoyment of the GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack, read on for full installation and usage instructions -:) ************************************************* Contents of "ZipZaps.txt" in the "Cars" directory ************************************************* GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack v1.0 =============================== What The Heck Are Radio Shack ZipZaps? -------------------------------------- Radio Shack ZipZaps are micro remote control cars similar to other 1/64 scale micro remote control cars (such as BitChar-G, MicroSizers, and MiniSpeeders), and took the US toy market by storm in the United States in December of 2002. All of the ZipZaps models that Radio Shack carries are replicas of many popular real-world cars, and are officially licensed from the various car manufacturers. There is quite a bit of debate as to which specific brand of 1/64 scale micro remote control cars are the best, fastest, and have the most features, but nevertheless, Radio Shack's ZipZaps series of cars are a lot of fun, and provide quite a bit of "bang for your buck" as they say ! More information about ZipZaps can be found at http://www.zipzaps.com and http://www.radioshack.com/Partners/ZipZaps/ZipZapsHome.asp on the Internet. So What Is This GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack? ------------------------------------------- The GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack is a set of cars designed for GeneRally version 1.05 or higher, all based upon Radio Shack's ZipZaps 1/64 scale micro remote control cars. The real-world ZipZaps cars that I specifically selected for this pack are simply the twelve ZipZaps models that my nephew and I actually own and regularly race, as there are literally dozens of other models that Radio Shack sells in their ZipZaps series of micro remote control cars. All of the cars in the pack have been edited (with permission) from other authors' original car creations to match the wheelbase and performance values of the standard "General" car that ships with GeneRally, and there are snow rally versions of each of the cars included as well (with the same performance values as Strava's "Snow City Car Set" car pack). Matching the GeneRally ZipZaps cars to the stock GeneRally "General" car actually made the cars look even more like the real thing, as real-world Radio Shack ZipZaps tend to have a hunched "bread truck" type of look to them in the first place . Also included in the pack are seperate driver files for each of the various ZipZaps cars preset with the correct real-world Radio Shack ZipZaps color schemes (as listed in the "Suggested Colors" sections below). A MASSIVE ammount of *THANKS* to Strava for all of his help with editing all of the cars to match the standard "General" car! This car pack couldn't have been created without all of his hard labor that he has put into it -:) Installation ------------ To install the GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack, simply unzip the contents of ZIPZAPS.ZIP to your main GeneRally game directory maintaining the directory structure contained in the archive. After unzipping the files, they should be located in your "GeneRally\Cars" and "GeneRally\Drivers" subdirectories on your hard drive. ZipZaps Cars Included With This Pack ------------------------------------ Below is a list of all of the cars that are included with the GeneRally ZipZaps Car Pack, as well as numerous information and image links for the specific matching real-world Radio Shack ZipZaps models. Note that swapping the Levin and Trueno GeneRally car models was intentional, as they match the look and colors of the real-world ZipZaps a bit better. 350Z ---- GeneRally ZipZaps Car: "350Z"

Version History --------------- v1.0 - First release.

All of the game's sound effects have been replaced with new stereo ones that sound super while racing using any user-created 1/10 scale remote control car or 1/64 scale micro remote control car designed for GeneRally. The overall effect that I was trying to create with these sound packs was simply to recreate the feeling of standing out in my driveway with my nephew racing all of our Radio Shack ZipZaps . Personally I think these new sound packs come fairly close... as close as you'll get without buying a ZipZap -:) Race on over to http://generally.cjb.net, http://generally.racesimcentral.com, or http://forum.racesimcentral.com/forumdisplay.php?f=199 on the Internet to find out all about this great game! Two Sound Packs --------------- The GeneRally ZipZaps Sound Pack Pro is a total of two seperate stereo sound packs, and is 1.8 megabytes of super sounding micro RC car sound effects after it is installed! The "ZipZaps Low" sound pack is for any of the standard cars that ship with GeneRally, or any other user-created cars that are based upon the standard "General" car wheelbase and performance values. The "ZipZaps High" sound pack includes higher-pitched engine sound effects, which are better suited for the faster user-created cars (because most of the time the engine sound effects of these cars are usually too low in pitch when playing GeneRally). List of Replaced Sound Effects ------------------------------ All of the sound effects were recorded from a real Radio Shack ZipZaps micro remote control car and a 1/10 scale electric remote control car. The following is a list of filenames of all of the sound effects that will be replaced when installing these two sound packs, as well as what the original sound effect was recorded from: Damage.wav - 1/10 scale RC car crashing into wall. Ding.wav - Power switch on 1/10 scale RC car transmitter switched on. Engine.wav - ZipZaps car motor and gears, full throttle, lower and higher-pitched versions. Fuel.wav - 1/10 scale RC car motor and gears, slow de-acceleration. Skid.wav - ZipZaps car motor and gears, fast acceleration and de-acceleration. Yeah.wav - Extending and retracting telescoping antenna on 1/10 scale RC car transmitter. All of the new sound effect files are 22,050, 16-bit, stereo. Installation ------------ If you are upgrading from any previous version of the GeneRally ZipZaps Sound Pack Pro, first manually delete the "ZipZaps Low" and/or "ZipZaps High" directories (located in your "GeneRally\Sounds" directory) and all of the files contained in them before installing this version. To install the new sound effects, simply unzip the contents of ZIPZAPS.ZIP to your main GeneRally game directory maintaining the directory structure contained in the archive. After unzipping the files, they should be located in the "GeneRally\Sounds\ZipZaps Low" and "GeneRally\Sounds\ZipZaps High" subdirectories on your hard drive. Fire up GeneRally, and click on "Options" and "Advanced". Then select either the "ZipZaps Low" or the "ZipZaps High" sound packs from the "Sound Set" drop down box. Run a few laps during a time-trial session, and a few during a single full-field race... it sounds like you're right there out in your driveway racing your ZipZaps with a bunch of friends, or at your local electric RC car track -:) Note that you may need to adjust some of the sound volumes from within GeneRally's "Advanced Options" menu for best results. Suggested Sound Volume Settings ------------------------------- Engine Volume: 20% Skid Volume: 80% Effects Volume: 40% Programs and Utilities ---------------------- The original WAV format sound effects were recorded from a real Radio Shack ZipZaps micro remote control car and a 1/10 scale electric remote control car, with extensive digital editing and mixing using GoldWave v4.26 and Cool Edit Professional v1.20. Legalities ---------- The GeneRally ZipZaps Sound Pack Pro (ZIPZAPS.ZIP) may be freely distributed in it's unmodified and unedited form, and in it's original unmodified and unedited ZIP format archive for any non-commercial use. Use these sound packs at your own risk. I will not be held responsible for blown speakers, crashed cars, crashed Windows (automotive or Microsoft), dead batteries, defective ZipZaps, any of the crud that gets wrapped around the axles of your ZipZaps (or other remote control cars), neighbor complaints, and the like .

The utility makes it MUCH easier to set the driver colors to the correct Radio Shack ZipZaps car color schemes, all without the immense amount of work required to manually adjust the color sliders within the game for each of the various cars and drivers. Installation ------------ To install the GeneRally ZipZaps Driver Color Utility, simply unzip the contents of ZIPZAPS.ZIP to your main GeneRally game directory maintaining the directory structure contained in the archive. After unzipping the files, they should be located in your "GeneRally\Drivers" subdirectory on your hard drive. To upgrade an existing installation of this utility from a previous version, simply overwrite the existing files. Using the ZipZaps Driver Color Utility -------------------------------------- After running the GeneRally ZipZaps Driver Color Utility, enter the filename of the driver that you wish to preset the colors for (including the ".DRV" extension). Note that because the GeneRally ZipZaps Driver Color Utility was written in Quick Basic v4.5, the utility can only understand short filenames (i.e. 8 character filename, plus 3 character extension). You can also type "ZAPCOLOR " (minus the quotes) from a fullscreen MS-DOS shell command prompt, substituting "" with the filename of the GeneRally driver file (again, using only the 8 character filename, plus 3 character ".DRV" extension), and press ENTER. Alternatively you can use Windows "My Computer" or the Windows Explorer to drag and drop a driver file onto the ZAPCOLOR.EXE executable file, which will automatically load the driver file into the utility. After loading in a driver file, press the corresponding hotkey of the ZipZaps car color scheme that you wish to use (the menus are self-explanatory). The utility will then automatically preset all of the colors of the GeneRally driver file to the ZipZaps car color scheme that you selected, and then display the name of the ZipZaps car color scheme and the resulting new primary color and secondary color RGB color codes. The utility can be partially automated by creating a simple batch file with the short filenames of the driver files that you wish to preset. An example batch file that would change several different driver files simultaneously would be: --- cut here --- @ECHO OFF ZAPCOLOR DRIVER01.DRV ZAPCOLOR DRIVER02.DRV ZAPCOLOR DRIVER03.DRV ZAPCOLOR DRIVER04.DRV ZAPCOLOR DRIVER05.DRV ZAPCOLOR DRIVER06.DRV --- cut here --- Legalities ---------- The GeneRally ZipZaps Driver Color Utility (ZIPZAPS.ZIP) may be freely distributed in it's unmodified and unedited form, and in it's original unmodified and unedited ZIP format archive for any non-commercial use.
