To use this patch copy all the files in the zip to your mayhem directory on your hard drive. What's new in 1.1: * IMPROVED WALKING! It is now 1000% easier to control characters in groups. Yes, we did listen to you and have fixed the major control problem that many of you were having. * Revised Map Layouts: some levels had to undergo revision to get the new walking routine to work with them, so many maps have had minor changes to them. * A new Settings.Exe fixes problems people had with changes to the Settings program not being saved. Known Problems: * On some video cards, such as the Diamond Edge 3D, the game begins with a black screen and appears to crash. This is because the video card can't support the mode that the video plays in. Switch off the videos in the settings.exe program and the game will run fine. * Some video cards do not play the movies. This is because the video card can't support the mode that the video plays in. Switch off the videos in the settings.exe program and the game will run fine. * The Flags in multi-player Capture Flag have too few of Hit Points. This is being addressed in a future patch. * Eight Player support should be included in the 1.1.1 patch, along with a few new multiplayer maps. * If you find that you are experiencing irregularities in the Multi- Player games, make sure that everyone is playing off the same version of Total Mayhem. The date of the version 1.1.EXE is 7/9/96. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Mayhem Version 1.1 Patch What's Fixed in 1.0.2: * In the installed directory, you will find a *** SETTINGS.EXE *** program that enables you to set up the following options: - Change the path where the movies are played from. This enables you to play the movies from CD, and not be forced to install them to your hard disk. - Utilize one of two alternate executables for Total Mayhem. The first one, NO H SCROLL, should be used if you get the following error when running the game: Can't Initialize VESA Mode 100. If this does work try the next option instead. - The other option, USE640X480, should be used if your video is not working properly when you run the game (multiple windows, no monitor sync, etc.). This may also solve the Can't Initialize VESA Mode 100 problem if the previous switch (NO H SCROLL) did not work. (If it is necessary for you to use this switch to get the game to play, the lo-res movies will not play, and you must play the hi-res movies. Do not have both this option and the Small Movies option checked.) - You can also switch off the videos from playing completely. This is useful on some cards which can't support the proper video modes. * Some users using Windows 3.XX have experienced a "Midi Out Open" error and could not get sound. This problem is now fixed. * Minor gitches on levels 17 and 6 fixed. * 6 players on level 20 problem fixed What is fixed in version 1.0.1: * The Scitech driver tends to autodetect video cards better. * (This point is outdated by the 1.0.2 patch) * Does not enable players in a Multi-player game to use weapons that they are not carrying. (If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it). * The objectives for level 10 are in the proper order now, and are clearer. * The credits for Creat Studio are now inserted correctly. Thanks for your patience.
