RandTrack README
================

by Andrew Apted  |  February 2015


INTRODUCTION

RandTrack is a program which generates random racing tracks
for the game 'The Need For Speed 1' (NFS1).  It supports both
the original game and the Special Edition (NFS1 SE), but only
the special edition has been well tested.

This is the second public release of this program, and it is
a long way from being finished.  While it can generate all the
tracks of the game, most of them are very minimal (not much to
see).  Only the following tracks are working well:

   *  Rusty Springs (TR1)
   *  Autumn Valley (TR2)
   *  Vertigo Ridge (TR3)

Development of the other tracks is planned for the future.



USAGE

First, unpack the zip somewhere (e.g. My Documents).  Make sure
it is extracted with folders, and that the RandTrack.EXE file has
been extracted too (some versions of Windows will skip an EXE
unless a setting in the Internet control panels is changed).

Run the program by double clicking the RandTrack icon (the EXE).
Select which game you want to build tracks for, then you will need
to set the folder (on your hard drive) where the game has been
installed.  RandTrack will then make a backup of the original
game tracks, and you can restore them at any later time.

Pressing the 'BUILD' button will generate a set of new tracks.
The Seed value is important, using the same seed will produce the
exact same tracks, so remember to press 'NEW' if you want to make
a different set of tracks.  (You don't need to press 'NEW' if you
close and restart RandTrack).
