Screen mode

The game asks the OS for the best Mode ID for the desired resolution, but this
can lead to unexpected results if there are unused monitor drivers in
Devs:Monitors. If it's not possible to put these away into Storage:Monitors
the following tooltypes can be used to force specific modes:

- FORCEMODE: filters the available modes via the mode name. possible values:
             PAL, NTSC, DBLPAL, DBLNTSC, EURO36, EURO72, SUPER72, MULTISCAN
- FORCEID: forces a specific mode, the value is a Mode ID in hexadecimal

User tracks

User tracks are supported. See usertrk1* files/directories for an example.
*.tga files can be exported using Gimp. These must be without RLE compression
and origin has to be bottom left. Make sure the image does not contain alpha
channel, otherwise the exported image may be broken. *c.tga must be indexed
with maximum of 160 colors. *h.tga and *r.tga must be 8-bit grayscale. *.xml
is self-explanatory, just note that there is a relation between *r.tga and
"surf" elements.
