Race Select
The race select screen has multiple uses. It is used to select which races to
send a message, as well as which race to spy on. You will have up to 30 pairs
of buttons on the left side of the screen. The gray button with the numbers
drawn on them activate the display for that race number. Button 6 is currently
pressed so all the information that you will be seeing on the right side of the
screen will apply to race 6 ( player 6 ). You can see that race 6 ( player 6 ) is
a Cyborg Collective player. The race pack ID is 106, the race pack version is
101, and the name of the race file is RACE106.RCE. The person who is playing
this race is using the name “Player 6”.
If you click the striped orange square button to the left of any of the gray
buttons the button will depress and light up green to indicate that this race
has been selected for what ever action you are currently taking, such as sending
a message.

have standing orders to attack members of race 3. Race 4 and race 5 have been
selected. If this screen was called from the send message screen, when you click on
the done button races 4 and 5 will be on the send message to list. The spy
command switch activates low level spying on the race, this form of spying is
free, but generally not effective.

race 3.
