Modelers: Something to try.

[Pariah]

Here's something I have been doing lately that was suggested by Ed (I think). To make it easier for anyone downloading my models I have always included both the marquee shot and screen shot that I used when building it. That way the user can simply rename and move the shots into their respective directories and use the cab in the fe. To make this a bit easier (thanks Ed, don't know why I didn't think of it first) what I have been doing is creating two subdirectories under the directory that I build my model in. They are "marquees" and "snap", named just like they are in MAME. In those I put the marquee and screenshot images in png format with the romname as the name of the file. For instance, my directory might look a bit like this.

c:/Revolution X
/marquees
revx.png
/snap
revx.png

revx.max
revx.txt
revx.w3d
revx-alltextures.jpg

Then, when you zip up the files, make sure you include sub-directories so that those graphics are included.

That's it. Nuff said.
