Track info
----------
Track name: PetroVolt
Track length: 950 m
Difficulty: Extreme
Author: Gabor Varga
Other tracks by author: None

Description
-----------
This is a long all-instance track with various challenges in different areas.
Features long straights, tight turns, jumps, some grass and mud. Lots of
places where you can make mistakes; some points do need braking. You'll need a
steady hand.

Installation / uninstallation
-----------------------------

Install folder: petrol
Installation: unzip PetroVolt.zip into your Re-Volt directory.
Uninstallation: delete <Re-Volt dir>\levels\petrol
delete <Re-Volt dir>\gfx\petrol.bmp
delete <Re-Volt dir>\gfx\petrol.bmq

Playing reversed
----------------

It's a pity that Re-Volt cannot let you select Reversed Mode play for
custom-made tracks! If you like PetroVolt, you can also try it backwards (a
bit harder than forwards). There is a batch file
'Install_PetroVolt_Reversed.bat', which creates a new track named
'PetroVolt reversed', by copying reversed mode files into a new folder. This
is the only way to race reversed without overwriting an original track.

Uninstallig 'PetroVolt reversed' is similar to uninstalling the forward one:
- delete <Re-Volt dir>\levels\petrol_r
- delete <Re-Volt dir>\gfx\petrol_r.bmp
- delete <Re-Volt dir>\gfx\petrol_r.bmq

Thanks to Acclaim for making this wonderful game.
Thanks to the following people who made the creation of PetroVolt possible:
- Alexander Kroeller and Christer Sundin wrote the tools which convert 3DSMax
output into Re-Volt levels.
- My wife Agnes tolerated the lack of attention towards her during the months
of making.

Notes
-----
This is my debut track; I guess I made all mistakes that first-timers do. One
for sure is that there is a large open area (the petrol station), where FPS
drops. At least it does in my computer.

Happy racing,
Gabor
