Before uploading any track files, you need to make sure that you have complied with a few things.

1. Have a description of your coaster ready, & keep it brief.

2. If you can take an image shot of your coaster, refer to the No Limits docs to achieve this although it is farly simple to do.

3. Your image should then be re- formatted to an exceptable size & format. The size should be 400 x 300 pixcels and the format should be .jpg.

4 Attach your .jpg or image using the attachment mod which can be seen in the posting body when compiling your post.

5. You should now include your description of your coaster, like I said before keep it brief.
 
6. Finally you should now upload your track file, use the same principle as for uploading the image files.

Test

Sooooooooooo, how do I upload a track?

To upload a track you need to first compress it using Gravametrics Studios Track Packager, which can be obtained from here
You must be registered to view this link
Install this program and then after following the included instructions for use, convert your NoLimits track file into an executable packaged track.

The reason why I use this format is to minimise the amount of additional files needed for some coasters, an example would be objects and an enviroment, Track packager will place all the relative files required into one self executing compressed file.

Once you have the compressed file you need to select the Add an Attachment button located below the main posting body, click on this and you be presented with and option to Browse for a file, click the browse button and locate the coaster file you wish to upload.

Once selected you should now see a description of the file in the box next to the browse button, below this in the empty box type in a brief discription about your coaster, (please keep this very short) now press the Add Attachment button to upload your coaster.

Now as you will notice from all the other coaster files in the forum there is also a picture included, to do this I will assume you already know how to take screen shots of your coasters whilst in the NoLimits program, capture your image and then using a picture editor reduce the size to 800 x 600 and then safe it has a jpeg file.

To upload the picture follow the same proceedure as above.

Ahhh, I see.  I understood the track package part, I just didn't know about the attachment button.

Well I'm glad that was cleared up, I thought I had made it too difficult, but all seems fine now.
