Read This Before Posting A File

**Greg Johnson** · #1 10-31-2001, 07:37 PM

Here is what to do when posting a file in the RCT section of SpeedZone.

1) Start a new thread in the correct area (based on if its a Track or Park )
2) For the Subject (Name) of the thread, title it the name of the park or track.
3) In the actual post, include the following items:[list=1][*]Park/Track Name[*]A Short Description[*]Does It Require The Drexler Patch?[/list=1]
4) Browse your computer hard drive to attach the file. Most will be found at C:\Program Files\Hasbro Interactive\
5) If you want people to rate your park, attach a poll with either 5 or 10 options. Either make it a 1-5 rating or a 1-10 rating. Don't go crazy with it.
Your done!

If you need the Drexler Patch, it is available HERE
If you have any other questions concerning posting RCT files, post them in this thread.

Last Note: You may also post Trainers and Other Utilities you find useful HERE. Be sure to include a short description too.
Please note the NEW RULE

looks good. so you've increased the max file size i hope. if u haven't u should, i can't fit any parks up in here.

Natelox, would zipping it make it small enough?

Coastercameron · #5 10-31-2001, 09:00 PM

Oh, Greg, if we have a "park" with nothing in it except a coaster, can we post it here?

**Greg Johnson** · #6 10-31-2001, 09:47 PM

yes, put it in the track section.

Natelox · #7 11-01-2001, 06:45 PM

zipping still doesn't fit it. once i get a read me and a park in there, its to big.

Elrocko · #8 11-01-2001, 06:55 PM

is it okay if we use a link for people to download it instead of attaching?

Tom Zeliff · #9 11-01-2001, 07:46 PM

With all of that you can't make it under the 100k limit?

ummmmm......I am having no trouble posting things on here.
My FF8 park was 306000 bytes and it fit onto here.
Just go ahead and attach it and submit it, it worked for me.

Please post all parks/tracks as attached. This sorta goes back to the no link issue and could turn into advertising for someones RCT site. You should have no problem attaching.

I can't post my track, It keeps saying it is not a valid extension when the extension is .TD4. HELP!

Kyle Rehm · #13 11-02-2001, 12:11 AM

Try Zipping it up and then uploading (Making sure to stay under 100kb)

Hector · #14 11-02-2001, 12:17 AM

but the track is only 16.0kb

Hang on... are the rules different now Speed Zone is up? Before you were allowed to post links IN THE BODY OF POSTS. I am thinking of posting links to a zip or jpg file, not so much someone's site. 100kb is nowhere near enough UNLESS you are allowed to link (or post 'copy and paste it' if your on GeoCities, Tripod etc.

) Don't get me wrong, I love Speed Zone it is much better organized and easier to find what you want. I just find saying 'attatchments only' very bad especially since attatched zip files very often fail for me.
