XTreme Racing V1.00 Updates File * Please Read Carefully * Here are some details that didn't make it into the manual... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ChipMem only Amigas Some Amigas (mostly WB3.1 machines) do not have enough memory to load a music module. There is little we can do about this, so its time for you to upgrade! We promise the game is much much better with a cheap accelerator board. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Some Microbotics 030 boards, and possibly the Warp Engine 040 board : Crashes occur frequently on some of these boards. Since we don't have access to one we haven't yet been able to solve the problem but we have done a patch (included on this disk) that will allow XTR to work properly. Simply copy the file called 'nomusic' from this disk (disk 3) either onto the program disk (floppy users) or into the directory containing XTreme Racing. You will now have no music on the menus. Do not select music on the game, and if you find that the game itself frequently crashes also turn the sound effects off from the 'set up' menu. If we solve this problem properly, a patch will appear on Aminet and our BBS. Please call me if you have any details on this problem. To remove the patch simply delete the nomusic file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This Game requires PAL to work ! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Deathmatch Games On deathmatch games you will see several numbers at the top right of each player's play area. The top number is the total number of kills minus the number of suicides. If the game is set to end after 5 kills for example, this is the number to watch out for. The numbers below this are the number of times you have killed all the other players. Your player is signified by '--'. e.g. For 4 players 10 -- 05 04 02 Means this is player 1, and he has killed player two 5 times,player three 4 times, and player four 2 times. He has also killed himself once, hence the total number of kills = 10. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lap Times & Save Option on the Menus Selecting this will save out all the controls, modules setups, screen preferences, and so on. It will also save all the best lap times. *** Lap Times are not automatically saved after races *** Also note that lap times are not saved out for computer cars because this would be no fun, and not from seasons because you can have faster engines in this mode. Single race times can be saved however. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Press ESC or the Play Button (CD32 Pad) while loading a track to abort a season. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Network Games Serial Link To play a network game, one machine must select 'null modem master' and the other 'null modem slave'. If the connection fails, simply try again. Its possible that the link may fail very now and again in which case the game will 'time-out' after a few seconds. this can take up to about 40 seconds in some cases. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- HD Users You get an extra tune :) This is automatically installed by the installer. Floppy Users Upgrade!!! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have anything you wish to show us, or have some comments/bug reports to make then please contact me. Flattery will get you everywhere to by all means send me a note if you like XTR, and say how you think it could be improved other than by using full 3d graphics. Finally, go buy *** GlOOM DELUXE *** now !!!! UP THE WOLVES !! Alex Amsel Black Magic / Silltunna Softare Tel : 01295 678 173 Email : alex@teeth.demon.co.uk
