We ran completely out of time making this intro and we got the competition version ready just before the deadline. Unfortunately it was way too slow and dark on the big screen. Here comes the final version with at least some fixes. Hope you like it. In this package you should find following files: ADRIFT.EXE, 65513 bytes ADRIFT.TXT, 4590 bytes FILE_ID.DIZ, 115 bytes We have been extremely busy lately. Asmu and our new musician S^tone were about a year in the finnish army since Asm'95 and currently Siffo and Nobody have been in the army since Asm'96. As you might have noticed, Vulture has changed his alias to Siffo and Odd Monk has changed it to OM. So the current member list looks like this: Name Alias Job Timo Sihvo Siffo Coder Samu Uimonen Asmu Coder Tommi Uimonen Nobody Musician Petteri Hiisil S^tone Musician Tuomas Murole OM Graphic artist Mikko Heikkil Preacher Graphic artist ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² II - Technical Information ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² Adrift runs in protected mode under our own extender. It should work under DOS with all configurations like clean, HIMEM, EMM386 or QEMM. The extender don't support DPMI yet, so Adrift won't work under Windows or OS/2. We use 486 and FPU instructions, so you need at least 486DX processor to run this. There was no space for detection routines, so if you try this on a 386 or slower it will probably just crash. :) You should have set the BLASTER or ULTRASND environment variables correctly if you wanna use the autodetect option in the menu. The song takes over 800K, so you need 1MB DRAM on your GUS for it. Adrift supports two video modes. The low resolution mode is a tweaked 320x240 and it should work with a standard VGA graphics card. The high resolution mode is a 640x480 VESA mode and it should work with VESA compatible SVGA graphics cards. The high resolution mode needs a very fast machine and graphics card, for example P150 with a Matrox Millenium. We recommend the low resolution mode for slower machines, because it's so much faster and looks better. With GUS or no sound Adrift requires 4MB memory for low resolution mode and 8MB for high resolution mode. Minimum requirement is about 420K low memory and 1800K high memory (lowres, no sound). Sound Blaster requires some extra memory for samples and the surround effects sound quite bad in mono..:) ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² III - Trouble shooting ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² The intro crashes when you run it: - Run the intro before any other programs - Try different boot confiqurations - Make sure you have a 486DX or better Autodetect won't find your card: - Check your environment variables - Here's the examples for port 220H and IRQ 7 set ULTRASND = 220,1,1,7,7 (port,dma1,dma2,gusirq,sbirq) set BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 T1 (port,irq,dma,cardver) GUS won't start music: - Run ULTRINIT before running the intro GUS plays some crap: - Make sure you have 1MB memory on your card Something else happens: - What on Earth could happen? ;) - You just have to fiqure it out by yourself - We would be clad to hear about all bugs you can find ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² IV - How to contact us ²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²²² Siffo: Snail mail: Timo Sihvo Mustakallionkuja 11 55610 Imatra Finland Asmu: E-Mail: uimonen@lut.fi
