Mouse recommended. SoundBlaster board recommended. ---Quick Start Instructions--- The game is normally supplied as a single self-extracting file. If you received this game from a bulletin board, there is a chance that the file has been split up into several sections. In that case, re-create the files as listed in the appendix following this section. After extracting the file into a single sub-directory, run the CONFIG program. CONFIG will verify that the directory exists, and then create the SETUP data file and then ask you for your sound selection. For sound, you may make one of four selections. 1) No sound 2) PC Speaker 3) Sound blaster board with no digitized sounds 4) Sound blaster board with digitized sounds. Digitized sounds are only supported by the SoundBlaster II and SoundBlaster III boards. Finally, the program will ask you what is your preference regarding mouse usage. A mouse is highly recommended, but not required. N.B. on Sound Blaster For proper support of the the sound blaster board, the system assumes that the Autoexec.Bat file has setup the two environment variables Sound and Blaster. If these variables are not set, the program will hang or product no sound whatsoever. To ensure that these variables are properly set, list out your Autoexec.Bat file. You should see the following two entries... @SOUND= followed by the directory for the Sound Drivers BLASTER= followed by the interrrupt and DMA channels for the board example- @Sound = C:\SB Set Blaster = A220 I7 D1 T3 Also note that for proper support of Digitized sound, the system depends on the CTVDSK driver being available. Typically, the driver, CTVDSK.DRV, is located in the \DRV sub-directory within the directory indicated by the SOUND environment variable. example- @Sound=C:\SB Bandor will look for a sub-directory labeled \DRV to contain the CTVDSK.SYS driver. If the \DRV directory is not present, then the program will hang when it attempts to produce digitized sounds. ---Mouse Usage--- A mouse is highly recommended to play BANDOR. During the play of the game, the left mouse key (Mouse button 1) generally signals acceptance of an answer. The right mouse key (Mouse button 2) acts as an escape. To make a selection with the mouse, be sure and CLICK WITH THE MOUSE KEY on the menu selection you wish. For instance, when moving a player during a battle sequence, you use the left mouse button to move the character. When you are finished moving, you use the right mouse button to end the movement. For some selections, either mouse button is acceptable because the game will ask you to confirm an answer with a Yes or a No. If you are not using a mouse, then the following action keys are utilized: On the main menu: Use the first letter of the selection (I for Introduction, C for Create Character, S for Start Adventure, etc.) When deleting/editing/creating a character: Use N to change the character's name Use R to change the character's race Use O to re-roll the character's luck/life Use left/right arrows to change the face Use Previous/Nextfor previous/next character Use ESC/RETURN to end the delete/edit/create mode When forming a party: Use F1-F10 to select a character to add to the party. Use RETURN/ESC to indicate that you are finished. In General: When making a Y/N answer. Use either Y or N for your selection. When answering an OK response. Hit the RETURN key. While in the program: Make sure that the number lock is turned OFF! Use the arrows to move in the maze Use home (7) to turn left and page up (9) to turn right To select the Menu, hit M. To select a character, select F1-F4. When working with a character: Hit V to move to the values screen, I for the inventory screen, and S for the spells screen. Use the left/right arrows to scroll through the characters. Hit the ESC key to exit from working with the characters. On the Values screen, hit G to move gold from one character to another. On the Inventory screen, use F1-F8 to select inventory items 1-8. Hit W to select the weapon, A to select the armor, and H to select the shield. On the Spells screen, hit F1-F8 to select a spell. ---Startup--- To start the game, change your directory to the one in which the BANDOR2 game is located, and type BANDOR2. The game will open with the logo and then go into the BANDOR2 opening graphic. To exit the opening graphic, hit the ENTER key. After you have exited the Opening Graphic Screen, the computer will load the Main Menu. ---Problems starting?--- Bandor II requires at least 580K of RAM. If you have problems getting Bandor II to run, check to see if you any TSR's that you can dump. Alternately, if you are using the SoundBlaster option, try this- 1) Use CONFIG to change your sound option to no sound, or to PC speaker only. 2) Instead of starting the program by running the Batch file BANDOR2, start the program by typing 1 and return at the DOS prompt. This will avoid loading the Sound Blaster FM driver into memory.
