This is my One-Click-Tool Competition-Zipper

For all racers in a competition who must send
their Track, Screen and Savegame at the end,
this tool will find these files and make a zip of it.
The files are renamed with infos found in savegame/track.

Copy Comp_zipper.exe in your GeneRally main directory,

Zip files are found in directory \zip, which is created automaticaly.

You can deselect files, which may not be packed.
Screens can be packed as bmp or jpg.
You can change zip filename in the textbox.

The program looks for your last saved screen and savegame.
Information (Track, Driver, Besttime) are read out of track/savegame.

I made several test and it seems to work fine.

Update:
Working with GR 1.05, 1.10, 1.2c

You can define the names of saved files in your own way.
Look at help file in the pack or ask.

Example: Special settings for GRC Round 14:

Track = 0
Game = 1
Screen = 1
bmp/jpg = 0
text = 14
TextPos = 1
trackname = 2
drivername = 3
time/kmh = 0

Result: 14_Track_Driver.zip, 14_Track_Driver.gam, 14_Track_Driver.bmp

Use this program in your competition packs for free

Well, actually, the best way you could name your files for GRC is : (Round number)_(driver name)

So it should be for Yas Marina : 04_majortom.gam and 04_majortom.bmp ;)

And you should never use jpg for screenshot, the quality is terrible for GR screenshots.

Oh, I thought, Round-Nr is the Number of whole session.
I can't read the Round-Nr out of Track because it is named with L-Track in login.
Then use this:

Track = 0
Game = 1
Screen = 1
bmp/jpg = 0
text = 0x
TextPos = 1
trackname = 0
drivername = 2
time/kmh = 0

The driver must change the x in the textbox with number of round
or, if he wants to save time in login, change it in the prf-file before login.

Nope, we don't care about season number at all... 1 round = 1 race, 1 season = x races. ;)

Warning:
Setting time/kmh=0 is good for a login with only 1 attempt.
But the zip-files will have all the same name if you don't change name in textbox.
The program will overwrite older ones without asking.

By setting time/kmh=1 you get a good history of your attempts in other cases.

A bump, and a dead thing apparently. But one thing I don´t like. Having a widescreen makes me uncomfortable making a zip file, because "make zip" button is under start bar. And as you can´t change dimmensions, it´s not good at all. But thanks anyway for this tool
