Solving Technical Problems

Important information for DYNAMITE:

To successfully run DYNAMITE you need about 35 MB free disk space after installation.  Windows 95 will use this space in order to make a swap file for DYNAMITE.  If you have too little memory and try to start DYNAMITE, you will get an OUT-OF-MEMORY message.  In this case, remove some files from the drive Windows uses as the swap drive (probably C:).

Old versions of DYNAMITE.INI or WAVEMIX.INI should be copied to another destination and deleted out of the Windows\System directory before installing DYNAMITE.  If you encounter problems with the sound effects, try to change the line "WaveOutDevice= " in WAVEMIX.INI (Windows directory) to 0 or 1.

It is possible to uninstall DYNAMITE.  Choose "Settings->System->Software" to do this.

From Windows™ 95, choose ‘Add/Remove Programs’ from the ‘Control Panel’ and then select ‘DYNAMITE’ from the list and hit the ‘Add/Remove’ button.  To get to the ‘Control Panel’ from Windows™ 95, choose ‘Start->Settings->Control Panel’.

Sound Problems

Problem: Sound effects won't play at all.

Solution: Run the Media Player application that comes with Windows and use it to play any wave file (try "c:\windows\tada.wav"). If the Media Player fails to play a .WAV file then there is a general problem with your configuration to be solved.  You will want to refer to Windows and sound card documentation to determine how to configure your system.

Graphics Problems

Problem: How do I change my video mode to 256 colors for best performance for this game? Solution: Right-click on the desktop and select the ‘Properties’ option.  Then, select the ‘Settings’ tab at the top of the ‘Display Properties’ dialog.  Under ‘Color palette’, choose ‘256 Color’ and hit the ‘Ok’ button.  There is also another way to get to the ‘Display Properties’ dialog… you can also go to the ‘Control Panel’ and double-click on the ‘Display’ icon.

General Problems

Problem: The game locks up, crashes, or causes system errors.

Solution: Turn off the music and sound effects.  If the game doesn't lock up without music and sound effects, it is possible that sound is not configured properly on your system.  If the game locks up with music and sound effects, try running the game without any other programs running.  Reboot Windows after any errors.

Problem: I can't figure out how to get past this #$!@#$ level!

Solution: Don't call technical support!  If you have Internet access, some good Usenet newsgroups to post questions to are rec.games.puzzle and rec.games.misc.  Look for a hints and tips page for this game on the Webfoot homepage at http://www.webfootgames.com.

Instructions for Windows(TM) Games

Please READ THIS DOCUMENT entirely before you install this product.  This document will answer most questions that you may have.

Installing the Game

To install from Windows 95™, hit the ‘Start’ button and select ‘Run…’.  If the game comes on a floppy disk, insert the floppy disk into your 3.5” floppy drive A: or B:, and type A:SETUP or B:SETUP in the Run dialog’s text area.  If your game comes on a CD-ROM, the insert the CD into drive D: or E: (or whatever letter the CD drive is assigned to) and type D:SETUP or E:SETUP inside the text area of the Run dialog box.

The installation program will prompt you for a directory name to install the game to on your hard-drive.  It's best to accept the default path given in the installation program:  C:\GAMES\WEBFOOT\{name of game you're installing goes here}.

Follow the directions on the screen.

How to Run the Game

To run the game from Windows™, you must first locate the program’s icon.  First, look for the ‘Games’ folder.  To find the ‘Games’ folder, Windows 95™ users should double-click on the ‘My Computer’ icon and select drive C:.  For example, if you kept the default installation directory, you would run the game DYNAMITE™ by going to the ‘Games’ folder on drive C: and then going to the ‘Webfoot’ folder.  Inside the ‘Webfoot’ folder, you’ll find a folder labeled DYNAMITE™.  Inside the DYNAMITE ™ folder, you will find the DYNAMITE.™ icon, which you should double-click to start the game.

You may also start the game from Windows 95™ by looking for the game’s icon from the ‘Start’ menu.

How to Play the Game

Each game has detailed online instructions in the online help file, which is located in the game’s directory and should also be accessible from within the game’s ‘Help’ menu option.

Trouble-Shooting

One of the nicest things about Windows™ based games is that there is virtually no hardware setup involved.  Devices such as soundcards, joysticks, video cards, the mouse, and other cards are usually all set up and ready to be used by Windows™ programs.

Of course, trouble still can sprout-up in cases where these devices have never been configured correctly, even under Windows™.  Also, sometimes certain cards will still need a special driver specified in the old DOS 'config.sys' or 'autoexec.bat' files, even though you are using them from Windows!

Keep in mind that you should always have your unique system configuration printed out and kept near your computer, along with your specific system's user manuals.  If your system’s cards and their respective drivers are not installed properly, trouble will arise.  It may look like a game is not working, when, in fact, your computer may not be configured correctly.  Please take the time to learn and understand your system, and you'll have an easier time setting up any software products.

You Don’t Hear Any Sound?

Have you chosen the correct soundcard, and it’s correct address, IRQ, and DMA numbers for your soundcard in the Windows Control Panel?  Is your volume turned up and speakers turned on?  Do you hear sound with any other Windows programs?

The Joystick Won’t Work

Some games don’t support the joystick.  If the game is supposed to support the joystick, make sure you calibrate the joystick before playing the game.  Joystick calibration can be done from within the Windows™ Control Panel by double-clicking on the ‘mouse’ icon.

The Mouse Won’t Work

Some games don’t support the mouse.  If the game does, you must make sure that Windows™ is set up to recognize the mouse.  Go to the Control Panel under Windows™ and double-click on the ‘mouse’ icon to configure your mouse.  Please refer to your system’s manuals for information on the mouse.

 Questions & Answers

Q.  How do I adjust the music and sound volume?

A.  Look for a program called 'Volume Control' in Programs-Accessories-Multimedia. (Hint: hit the 'Start' button to find the 'Programs' folder).

Q.  How do I run a program?

A.  Double-click on the program's icon, or select the icon from the 'Start' menu.

Q.  How do I find where I left a program on my hard drive? Where did the program go?

A.  You must REMEMBER where you place programs on your hard drive.  Try looking for Windows based programs by hitting the 'Start' button and selecting "Programs...".  If you can not find a file that way, hit the icon which is typically called "My Computer" (unless, of course, you've renamed your computer, in which case, the name will be different!).  Select the drive labeled C:.  Look, by double-clicking, in the folder called 'Games'.  Next, look in the folder called 'Webfoot'. Remember, all of our games' installation programs will default to C:\GAMES\WEBFOOT\ unless you over-ride this default path!  Try looking here for the games first.  Remember, the people here at Webfoot will not be able to tell you where you have installed a game to, unless you accepted the default paths!  Our people are very smart, but they are not clairvoyant.  Which is good, because then they'd know that we could really afford to give them raises, but have chosen not to.

Q.  Can I make a backup copy of my game?

A.  Sure, just as long as you don’t give the game to anyone else.

About DYNAMITE

DYNAMITE by PARSEC Development is a skill challenging game based upon a classic. This game runs under Windows 95 and guarantees fun for 1-4 players at the same time.  Features an adjustable playfield size.  DYNAMITE can be played full-screen or in a small window (for slower systems).

Overview and Objective

Single player mode: The goal is to destroy all enemies with bombs.  Bombs are placed in the maze by each player.  Once all the enemies have been destroyed, the player must find the level exit, before the final countdown.  In addition to enemies and walls, there are also randomly spread destructible walls on the playfield, that can be destroyed by bombs.  Under some stones extras are hidden, which can be collected after the destruction of the stone.  The extras give the player improved capabilities and additional arms.

The exit is hidden under a destructible wall and it is closed at the beginning of the level.  It unbolts as soon as there are no enemies left.

In the beginning, the player has two lives.  If the player is hit by an explosion or an enemy, or if the time runs out, he looses a life.  If the player is fortunate enough to find the exit under the last stone, he gets an extra new life.  Generally, the player does not see the whole playfield at once.  If he approaches a border, then the playfield scrolls in the appropriate direction.

Multi player mode:  Each player must fight the other human players AND the computer enemies.  The winner is the player who reaches the required number of level victories (number of levels can be adjusted at the beginning of the game).  A countdown starts if all enemies and all destructible walls are destroyed, but two or more players are still alive.  When the countdown is down to zero, all remaining players die.  To force a winner, the players get additional extras at certain time intervals during the countdown.

Before the start of a new match, the players can chose whether or not they have to touch in predefined intervals in the options menu.  If this option is activated, a countdown timer runs during the match.  At least two players must have a contact before the end of the countdown.  If successful, the counter is set to a new value again.  Otherwise all the players die. The value of the countdown depends on the number of destructible walls left on the playfield and on the active players.  If a level ends but no players survive, the level will be repeated.

In both modes, the player gets a level code after successfully ending each level.  With this code, the player can go directly to the next level the next time DYNAMITE is started, instead of starting from the first level.  However, in multi-player mode, each level has to be played three times until the game moves on to the next level.

The game is divided into different themes, or stages, each of which includes a certain number of levels consisting of a graphical ‘look’.

During the game the ESC-key acts as Bosskey, which will cause the game to stop playing and the window to minimize.


Allgemeines
General Information

  System requirements of DYNAMITE:

To play DYNAMITE, a Pentium with at least 8 MB (16 MB is better) of main RAM memory is recommended.  Microsoft WINDOWS 95™ is required.  The preferred screen resolution is 800x600 with 256 colors.  Using higher color depth is NOT recommended as this considerably reduces game performance (and by no means improves the graphics quality).  To temporarily change the graphic settings in Windows 95™ for DYNAMITE, choose ‘Start->Settings->Control Panel->Display’ and select the ‘Settings’ tab.  40 MB of hard drive space is needed for a full installation of DYNAMITE.

It is possible to delete the level files of a full installation at a later moment to free up disk space.  Simply delete all the *.dyn files in the installation directory.  It is very important to have enough space on the hard disk drive that Windows 95™ uses for its swap file (probably C:).  35 MB of free swap space is needed!   Otherwise, an “Out of Memory” message may occur.  A Windows-compatible soundcard for music and sound effects is optional, but does greatly improve the enjoyment of the game.  DYNAMITE should be run exclusively under Windows with no other application in the background.  Otherwise, the performance and resources of the system will be drastically decreased.

  Adapting DYNAMITE:

New MID-files:

As any music title gets boring with time and as everyone has individual musical favourites we give you the possibility of playing your own midi files during the game.  Simply copy your .MID-files into the DYNAMITE installation directory.  If necessary you can delete the old ones.  The files will be played randomly.

Choosing the audio CD tracks:

If you made a full installation of DYNAMITE you can choose the audio cd tracks that should be played during DYNAMITE. In the file DYNAMITE.INI (in the Windows directory) simple change the entries CDGAMESTART=x1, CDGAMEEND=x2 and CDMENU=y where x1 to x2 and y are the tracks you want to have played. x1 to x2 will be played during the match, y will be played in the menu. But do not forget to insert the desired audio CD before starting DYNAMITE. If you have the following in your DYNAMITE.INI:
CDGAMESTART=2
CDGAMEEND=6
the audio tracks 2 to 6 will be played during the game.

  Known problems:

DYNAMITE is exclusively designed for WINDOWS 95.  It has not been tested properly with other 32-bit versions of MS WINDOWS (WIN32S, WINDOWS NT).  Indeed we encountered some music card problems with Windows NT.  If you are brave enough you can try to modify the file WAVEMIX.INI in this case (WAVEOUTDEVICE=-1 or 0 or 1 ...).  This file is located in the Windows directory (e.g. C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINNT40).  Furthermore, NT delays our palette operations which can be by-passed by disabling the so called palette fading.  You can deactivate the fading in the file DYNAMITE.INI (also in the Windows directory) in the following line: FADING=0
