Filelist:
---------
GTApackages.exe 56kb The Executable
font.bmp 192kb My Font-file
VCmap.bmp 3MB The map-file
readme.txt 3kb this file

The Program may be spreaded freely, but be sure to include these files !

Just open the Program & hit 'O' to load a Vice City Savegame. They're usually located
in 'My Documents/GTA Vice City User Files', or 'Eigene Dateien/GTA Vice City User Files'
(German Windows).
Be sure that the file is really a Vice City Savegame - or the Program will eventually crash (no
time for stupid checks !).
Then you'll see the map & all packages left in this Savegame.

Packages:

You'll see them as red triangles or square, depending how "high" they are in the game.
When looking in the upper right corner, you see how many packages are left.

Rampages:

You'll see them in green.

Note: they are only important for _non german_ savegames !!!
In german Savegames, they exist (!) But you have no chance (or need) to do them.
(Afak switching the language to english should make them available in the game - but only 18
years & older, plz)

Well, thats all...

Keys and input:

---------------
Directional Keys & leftmouse + drag: Move around the map
'+' / '-' and Mousewheel: Zoom in / out
'H' for Help (press again to leave help)
'O' to open a savegame
ESC at any time to exit the program

ToDO / wishes:
--------------
Well, currently you just see where the package is. No Number or anything else to find it using
the well-known guides...
Maybe I'll include this in a later Version.

The unique Jumps are something else I'd like to show, since often you did one & died after this
& can't remember if you did it...
Well, i'll have to figure out, where this information is - unlike in GTA3, the information is not
stored like the packages.

Make the packages dissappear ...

No, i will never make this, even that i know how to do this !
This Program is intended to let you find the "last" packages you can't find by your own!

Bugs:
-----
Well, there must be many !
known:
- hanging, when loading corrupted / wrong savegames
- maybe it crashes when your desktop is not 32bits

Reported:
- Slow System when running Vice City in the background (ATI card)
workaround (?): Use the Program without VC in the bg.
Since the Viewer works only on savegames, there should be no use for running both
!

System requirements:
--------------------
Well, since its tested on only one System, here are my Specs:
Duron 1200 Mhz, 512 MB SD-Ram (PC133), GF2 Ti (64MB DDR), WindowsXP Pro
OpenGL with Glut needed !
Maybe some MS Visual C++ runtimes are required ...
Plz don't ask me if this program runs under Linux
(Since its ANSI-C, it would do so, but first please program GTA VC for Linux & _after_ this - ask
!)
Tools used:

IMG Tool v1.3
Vice TXD v1.0b
Photoshop 5.0
Visual C++ 6.0
