- Introducing the source of deeper GRAAL understanding...
-
-
- ===============================================
-
- The GRAAL Herald, Issue 1
-
- (including GRAAL_2 beta 2 driver and editor)
-
- ===============================================
-
-
- First of all, if you don't know what GRAAL is, then this is
- not for you - check out game/role/Graal2a.readme first!
-
- Still here? Good.
-
- This is a combination of a GRAAL-driven demo and a diskmag,
- showing just how flexible GRAAL 2 is, and demonstrating
- subjects not covered by the normal demo adventure in the
- "Graal2x" archives. If you thought the GRAAL 2 adventure
- demo was OK, just wait 'til you see what else GRAAL 2 can
- do if you put your mind to it!
-
-
- The archive should be unpacked to a hard disk drawer.
- Make sure the FONTS: sub-drawer contents are copied
- properly. Then click the GRAAL_2 icon, and away you go!
-
-
- This archive includes slightly updated GRAAL_2 driver
- and editor programs, containing some new features that
- I considered essential to put in before the proper
- GRAAL 2.0 release. They also contain some nice bug fixes,
- so everyone should replace their current "GRAAL_2 beta"
- driver and editor with these "beta 2" versions.
-
- Now I will not add any more features until the GRAAL 2.1
- release (I think ;)
-
- The new features:
-
- * It is now possible to totally customise save/load as well
- as quit routines.
-
- * It is now possible to use dialogues for player "multiple
- choice" input, not necessarily related to an on-screen
- dialogue between characters. Also makes it possible to
- conduct dialogues without the main character being
- shown on screen.
-
- * If you run GRAAL from a write-protected medium, it always
- asks for a saved games diskette when loading and saving
- games. This means GRAAL games can now be put on CD-ROM
- with fully functional save/load routines.
-
- * The editor can edit PATH:s, and also keep track of .room,
- and .scene script numbers and contents in a much neater
- way.
