1996.
Welcome to this updated version of PlayBall. The original doc file is
included on this disk. This document is to inform you of the improvements
made since the original.
These include:
*** Music JukeBox.
*** Improved Ingame Graphics.
*** Improved Menu Graphics.
*** Improved Menu options. (Intro can be turned off etc..)
*** Extra ingame bonuses.
*** A couple of bugs removed.
*** All options selected (ie keys redefined etc..) are
automatically saved.
It is worth noting that if you are playing from disk and have room for
the Jukebox Music (2 meg + amigas) that it will take a little extra time
to load them in. Of course if you've a hard drive simple copy the main
folder onto it and you'll not notice anything. If however you are playing
from disk and have room for the music but don't want it, simply go to the
music menu and clear the list. This will save it been loaded in every time
you play.
******** Music Jukebox ***********
Simple saying Music Jukebox is not doing the new music menu full justice.
The full options are as follow:
FX - Ingame sound effects.
MUSIC - Selects ingame Music, the type of which is one of the following.
RANDOM LOOP - Will select on of the tracks and play it constantly
throughout your game, looping if necessary.
JUKEBOX - Will randomly choose and play a different track every 2
minutes. Only repeating a track when all have been played.
CHOOSE - You can choose which track you wish to listen to (only one i'm
afraid), which will loop if necessary.
LOAD YOUR OWN - You can select any of your own favourite tunes and load
them into the music list.
Click on one of the blank boxes and use the menu to find your music file
you wish to use, MOD files only i'm afraid. They will be copied into the
same folder as the other music files (P2 MUSIC), so due to the tight
squeeze on the disk, you'll only be able to do this if you've copied
PlayBall onto you're hard drive. If you try it and you've not enough room
the program will crash, so you've been warned.
The list can be cleared by pressing the 'ESCAPE' key on the Load Own
screen. You will find all music file as stated above in the 'P2 MUSIC'
folder for re-entering onto the list.
************ IMPROVED MENU OPTIONS ************
I suppose that most of these improvements should have been in the original
in the first place but then you wouldn't have wanted to have registered if
they had been i suppose. The best addition is the auto-saving of the
selected options, especially been able to switch off the intro, which
might have started to get annoying. I only left it on because it was so
fiddly to do that i couldn't bare to drop it.
The game is now pre-set to both joystick+keyboard controls, you can change
it to just one of them if you prefer. The joystick bug on Bonuses has been
fixed.
All the other improvements are obvious as you play, if you would like to
see anything new or altered, or have any ideas for a PlayBall 2. Then
please let me know at the address in the other doc file.
BYE BYE.
