The vector world has been finished the day we finished the ║ intro itself !! And all the Gouraud related stuff are only some ║ very young trials put there to have some consistant parts... ║ ║ Moreover, we have absolutely no EXE packer ready, and we had no time ║ to pack our different parts together in a single EXE ║ ║ So, please forgive us, and we promise that our next productions will ║ be better ║ ■═══──── ║ ║ The rules of ASS'95 obliged us to use two different mod players in ║ the intro... so, we had problem with the different ways to handle ║ the timer, and we decided that the intro wouldn't be synchronised !! ║ Yes, it's lame ║ So, if you want to enjoy the thing at the original speed, try it on ║ a 486 DX2/66... and neither less nor more powerfull computer. ║ ║ You will need : ║ ■ a 386... and a 486 DX2/66 for experiencing the real thing ║ ■ HIMEM, EMM, QEMM... whatever you want since we use only less ║ than 500 Ko of low memory ║ ■ plus the other habitual stuff (keyboard, screen, brain...) ║ ║ How to run the... ║ ■ Competition version ║ just type DREAM [x] where x is the optional 2x0h specification ║ of your GUS baseport ║ ■ CD version ║ if DREAM alone doesn't work, try to set the Midas parameters : ║ -sx Force Sound Device x (1 = GUS, 2 = PAS, 3 = WSS, 4 = SB, ║ 5 = No Sound) ║ -pxxx Force I/O port xxx (hex) for Sound Device ║ -ix Force IRQ x for Sound Device ║ -dx Force DMA channel x for Sound Device ║ -mxxxx Set mixing rate to xxxx Hz ║ -oxxx Force output mode (8 = 8-bit, 1 = 16-bit, s = stereo, ║ m = mono) ║ ■═══──── ║ ║ Two versions of the intro exist : ║ ║ ■ The competition version is the TRUE thing in our point of view : ║ its size is under 64Ko, it supports only GUS, and is 100%ASM ║ ■ The "CD version" has been made only to comply with the strange ║ rules of ASS'95. It has a lot of disadvantages : its size is far ║ greater than 64Ko, it supports GUS and SB, it uses the Pascal ║ version of Midas (because very very very little time to do it) ║ ║ So, since it most unlikely that we will do a "final" version, for we ║ prefer to spend our time on further projects, be sure to get the ║ competition version. ║ ■═══──── ║ ║ Aaaargh !! ║ We planned to release this intro with a cool chiptune from bopy... ║ But we (Kortal & Fëanor) had a MEGABIGPROBLEM during the linking : ║ the module had a bug and didn't work well with Gusplay or Midas... ║ So we had to take another one... ║ But you will hear this tune in a further production !! ║ Sorry bopy ! ║ ║ The credits : ║ ║ Gouraud stuff, Julia Stuff........................Fëanor ║ Unreal's Landscape................................Kortal ║ Music.................................................?? (*) ║ Smokin' girl.........................................Fub ║ ║ (*) if the author read this, please contact us ║ ║ ModPlayers : ║ ║ Competition version...........GusPlay / Robban / Cascada ║ CD version........................Midas / Sahara Surfers ║ ■═══──── ║ ║ Fëanor thanks his little brother a.k.a. Benoît Dumas a.k.a. ║ Da-Thing-Out-Of-The-Space, for lending him his computer while ║ Kortal was at home ║ ║ Fëanor also thanks Garfield... without him, Da-Thing-Etc would not ║ have lend him his computer. Well... it's quite complicated, but you ║ are not supposed to understand. Thanks Garfield !!! ║ ║ Kortal wants to be sorry, but at the origin there have to be a ║ VectorWorld on the intro instead of the Landscape but as there were ║ a lot of bugs... and lack of time... I decide to put my landscape ║ wich was coded a long time ago, and wich I appreciate a lot ! ║ ■═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──── Fë
