----------------------------------------- ------------ REQUIREMENTS ------------- ----------------------------------------- You don't need any PeeCee, any Mac, only an AMIGA with a minimun of 1 meg of CHIP. Forest Fight runs on OS 1.3, 2.04, 3.0 and should run on other one. Be sure that your AMIGA is built around a 680X0 processor and that will be OK ;-) Note that is better when you dispose of 2 or more meg of memory because you can configure Forest Fight to load all files into memory before playing to avoid disc access, see Tool Type and Command Line for more details ... Rem : Mathtrans.library is needed in your libs: path. --- For OS 1.3, the file Ram-Handler is needed in your l: path if you use the tool type RAM=YES. ----------------------------------------- ------------ INSTALLATION ------------- ----------------------------------------- Installation is the easiest as possible : just be sure that all the .abk files are in the same directory. The name of this directory is free. The archive should contain 25 files : - ForestFight - ForestFight.info - ForestFight.Guide - ForestFight.Guide.info - ForestFight.txt - ForestFight.txt.info - ForestFight.readme - Amal.abk - Bob.abk - Fin.iff.abk - Icon.abk - Menudata1.abk - Menudata2.abk - Menusprite.abk - Mod.intro.abk - Music 1.abk - Music 2.abk - Music 3.abk - Music 4.abk - Music 5.abk - Pacpres.abk - Sample1.abk - Sample2.abk - Sample3.abk - Sample4.abk That's OK ?, well !! You can enjoy ForestFight now !!! ----------------------------------------- ---------- TOOL TYPE & CLI ----------- ----------------------------------------- 1) RUNNING FORESTFIGHT FROM WORKBENCH You have to double click on the icon named 'ForestFight'. The executable program MUST HAVE the name 'ForestFight' or the icon will not be recognized for the tools. This icon has 2 tool types : -SPEED=positiv real number like 1.8 for example For a 68020 SPEED=2 is a good choice, For a 68000 SPEED=3.2 is quite good, For faster Amigas, try a little lower than 2 until your boom- rang has a reasonnable speed when flying. -RAM=(YES|NO) Put YES if you've got 2 meg RAM or more. In this case, all files will be loaded into memory so there won't be disc access during the game. When Quitting ForestFight, these files will be removed from memory by the programm, don't care ! Put NO if you've got less than 2 meg RAM. 2) RUNNING FORESTFIGHT FROM CLI Open a Shell Window and go in the ForestFight directory with CD command. Then type : forestfight [SPEED=(real number)] [RAM=YES|NO] The optionnal parameters SPEED and RAM are fully discribed above. Default values are SPEED=2 and RAM=NO. ----------------------------------------- ---------- GAME DESCRIPTION ----------- ----------------------------------------- 1)Introduction ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ForestFight is a balistic type game playable only with 2 humans.
