Glitch wall

Jan 03, 2006 Orion6.0 link
Earlier today I managed to pass through a wall of the race track in Sedina D-5. I have screenshots, but i have no program capable of reading .TDA or whatever they are saved as. Might wish to check it out ^_^

I think GIMP will view and convert it (.tga I think) and it's free!

Yes, the tube walls kick you out once in awhile. A known issue, but not one that has been mentioned in some time. Thanks.

I've done it before. Or rather, made it happen. I wanted to test the limits of mines on race tracks. Seeing as concussion mines do no damage, I had a willing participant get blasted into the wall and die. After a few unwilling participants, one managed to escape death by slipping through the wall. His confusion, however, was just about the same as the rest of his peers.

I just use Hoversnap from http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm to save my screenshots as JPEGs or PNGs.. if you're using a windows machine, it's what I recommend.

Heh, the one and ONLY time I entered a racetrack, I managed to slide through a wall too. Needless to say, my pursuit was confused. Thank god it was in the middle of the maze, too... I was a good system away before they got out, from what I heard over 100.

Freeware Windows file viewer for more image formats than you will probably ever see. Can read TGA and can convert them to more formats than you could possibly think of.

Photoshop will open and save Targa (.tga) files no problemo. Once you've got it in Photoshop, you can do anything with it and "save as" whatever you like.

The TGA file is a bitmap image format developed by Truevision, which defined the TGA file format in 1984 for use with its first video products. Truevision has apparently been snapped up by Avid somewhere between 1995 and 2005.

For those really super-curious about the Targa format, download this PDF: http://www.csit.fsu.edu/~burkardt/pdf/targa.pdf
