MOTORACER ADD-ON LEVELS WITH DEMO?
Get the add-on tracks from http://home.worldonline.nl/~mickey/motoracer/files.htm or
http://www.hardware.3dreview.com/3dfx/files/games/addon/motoracer/mototracks.zip
To get em to work with the demo apparently....
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Rather than worrying about using the icomp.exe program, just put the following entries in your registry:
\HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\DelphineSoft\MotoRacer\CurrentVersion\Moto\Language="ENGLISH"
\HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\DelphineSoft\MotoRacer\CurrentVersion\Moto\SavingPath="C:\MOTO"
Obviously you need to change the "C:\MOTO" to whatever directory you have motoracer installed in. The extra tracks will then install through the supplied setup program.
Please Note: This has not been tested by myself and I wouldn't recommend hacking into your registry unless you know exactly what you are doing and have backed up your system first! Do this at your own risk.
If you are in the UK a much better idea would be to go buy MotoRacer :) It should be available in the US soon.

GLQUAKEWORLD -TAKING SCREENSHOTS?
If you want to take screenshots with F12 with this (which you will believe me) you must make a QUAKE subdirectory under your QUAKE directory!

MOTO RACER - WANT TO SEE ALL THE TRACKS?
This was posted on the 3dfx news server by Francois Mairesse. I haven't tried it yet but apparently if you type CDNALSI as your name you can access all the tracks without having to complete the championship.
UPDATE 21/05/97. Type in the following as your name when you start the game:
CDNALSI=All tracks
CTEKCOP=Pocket mode enable>
CESREVER=Reverse mode enable
GLQUAKE Need a few commands for GLQuake, such as how to turn on water transparency, mirror effects, lighting effects? See this.He says: " I have constructed a new useful batch GLQuake batch file for everyone that contains a menu to select between resolutions and other environment variables in a user-friendly and idiot-proof manner. This batch file is completely safe; it won't overclock your card if it isn't already overclocked.

GLQUAKE HELP
GLQuake players - Mark Rejhon has posted a batch file that will allow you to choose all sorts of options for GLQuake before you play.
The menu in the batch file supports the following: - 512x384 resolution for screaming framerates. - 640x480 resolution for sharper picture. - Option to lock framerate to max of 30fps for better consistency. - Ability to enable/disable vsync setting.
It even has built-in idiot-resistant error checking: - Making sure that the batch file itself was installed properly. - Making sure that there is enough memory for environment variables.
Easy instructions to save the batch file to disk:
1. Click here to download glmenu.bat (Fixed -thanks to Greg Hilton for mentioning it)
2. It will display in your browser. Select "Save As" under the File menu.
3. Save the file as 'GLMENU.BAT' in your \QUAKE directory.
4. Now you can simply run "GLMENU" instead of "GLQUAKE" to run it! "
If you have problems: NETSCAPE USERS - you can get the latest batch file (called glmenuN.bat) file from here
INTERNET EXPLORER USERS: Get the file (called glmenu.bat) from herePOD 11/03/97
HEY! If you want to cheat a little and see 6 more cars in the POD 3DFX demo then you can d/l a small program to let you do it. Note: This doesn't work with the newer release of the demo. Check out Joakim's pageHOME NEWS FILES OLD-NEWS DEMOS TIPS LINKS SNIPPETS PICS REVIEWS
