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 !!
