Turok: Dinosaur Hunter - Windows 95
3Dfx demo
8/28/97
Coming soon
-----------
This demo lets you explore one of Turok's massively huge levels.
The full retail version will feature:
* All 8 levels
* Many nasty bosses to destroy
* Complete online help manual
* Option to use higher quality sound
* Stereo sound
* More 3D cards supported directly, others through Direct3D
* Improved controller support
* A few surprises
3Dfx version
------------
This demo will run only on 3D accelerator cards that
use the 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics or Voodoo Rush chipsets.
Video card drivers must be installed
------------------------------------
This demo requires 3Dfx Glide (video drivers) version 2.3 or
greater.
When running Turok, if you get the message "Unable to open
graphics driver: video_3dfx.dll", you either haven't installed
the Glide drivers, or you have an early version.
You can download Glide 2.3 at the following address:
http://www.3dfx.com/software/download_glidert.html
DirectX 5.0 must be installed
-----------------------------
You can download dirextX 5.0 at:
http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp
Controls
--------
From the opening screen, select Controls, Setup, Keyboard, etc.
You will see the default key mappings, which you can modify and
save if you desire.
Drive space
-----------
Turok requires 25 MB of hard drive space to install. In
addition, during gameplay, Turok requests 30 MB of virtual
memory from Windows. Depending upon how much RAM you have,
Windows may need to increase the size of your swap file to
accommodate this request (this usually happens automatically).
If this results in not enough disc space, Turok will let you
know with a message. If you have another drive or partition
with 25 MB free space, you could try installing Turok there
instead of the default location on C: (where your swap file
probably is). This will free up space on C:, allowing your swap
file to grow larger, and, hopefully, Turok to run.
Turn off other applications
---------------------------
Other Windows applications left running while playing Turok
could be using system resources that would improve Turok's
performance. Also, if another application grabs Windows' focus
(e.g., announcing email), Turok will simply disappear and will
need to be re-started.
Command line options
--------------------
-noRoll Disables jump left or right when double tapping
the strafe key. To use this option, you must create a Windows
shortcut to Turok.exe, then right-click the shortcut and select
"Properties". Click on the "Shortcut" tab and add "-noroll"
after turok.exe in the "Target" section (be sure there is a
space between "turok.exe" and "-noroll". The "Target" section
will then look like:
C:\Program Files\Acclaim\Turok\turok.exe -noroll
Then, run Turok via the shortcut.
X/Y axis toggle keys
--------------------
On the joystick/pad and mouse setup screens, you can set the Y
Axis Behavior (forward/backward movement of the stick or mouse)
to either cause Turok to look up/down or move forward/backward.
You can temporarily swap these behaviors by pressing and holding
the Y Axis Toggle key (default: P) on the keyboard while moving
the controller in the Y axis direction. E.g., if the
controller's Y axis movement normally moves Turok
forward/backward, he will temporarily look up/down if P is being
depressed.
The same approach applies to X Axis Behavior
(side-to-side movement of the stick or mouse) which can be set
to rotate or strafe. Pressing and holding the X Axis Toggle key
(default: O) on the keyboard while moving the controller in the
X axis direction will temporarily swap behavior.
Y Axis Looking
--------------
In Setup for joysticks and mice, there is a Y Axis Looking
option. This changes how Turok looks up/down when directed by
joystick/mouse movement in the Y axis (and there are two ways Y
axis movement can cause Turok to look up/down: either the Y Axis
Behavior has been set to look up/down, or the Y axis toggle key,
mentioned above, is causing Y axis movement to look up/down).
If "forward looks up" is checked, Y axis movement in the forward
direction will cause Turok to look up. If "forward looks down"
is checked, Y axis movement in the forward direction will cause
Turok to look down.
