Imagine -> SkidMarks Converter - Update File

Sorry,

In our usual rush to get things done, the original archive on the SkidMarks2 
disk was missing several files.

The spec file in the kart.pix drawer includes the size and aspect ratio of the 
frames compatible with the converter program (wee small ones with forced
isometric perspective).

The rotate fx I don't think is included in the version of Imagine on Amiga 
Format's coverdisk so I have included this also. I have also included the 
Imagine.Config file we use which has the correct settings for antialising.

Note: Imagine3 does not antialiase with transparent background, this is a
terrible bug and I suggest use either 2.9 or turn antialse off in 3.0.

Probably the best thing to do is copy the Imagine program to this drawer and 
run it from here. Open SkidMarks project, open kart subproject, select all 
frames and render...

To speed up rendering addbuffers to your hardisk or copy the whole shabang to 
ram: and render there (if you have 8 meg or more).

Just render the first 32 frames to check the converter can read them, run the 
converter, type kart into the textgadget that has buggy in it and select 
showaga or showecs. If they appear, then proceed to render all 800 and convert 
them. the files kart.aga, kart.ecs and kart.set will be created in the 
vechicles drawer. Copy these files to your skidmarks/vehicles drawer and you 
should be able to race the cars.

A program to customise the way they drive will be available soon.

Good luck...
