uploading.
Hi all can anyone help with how to upload things. How do i take screenshots etc and then put them into jpeg.
Re: uploading.
You can take a screen grab by simply pressing PrtSc (or Print Screen) key on your PC. This puts a copy of the screen dump in the msts folder called scrngrb0.pcx (I think). Each successive screen print increases the number by one.
There are plenty of applications which will open pcx files and resave them as Jpegs. I use VuePrint, but Irfanview does I think, and others too.

Up to you really, but its probably easiest.mikespearce wrote:Next question in the description is that the readme?
Re: uploading.
In the description field you should give as much information as possible, stuff which may not be in the readme file. Basics are, which route its for and which version as there are now several versions of some routes available. What the activity is about. Whether you need to download any stock or whether it plays on default stock which comes with the route. (If it needs additional downloads use the related file links too). I normally also add an estimate of running time.
The aim should be to give enough information for a potential downloader to decide if its of interest to him or not.

Re: uploading.
Also mention if you requre any other CD stock aswell, and what CD's they are, as I find it very annoying when I download an activty, to then find out that I need stock off a CD that I dont have
