- "Act of War" More Extra Missions
- --------------------------------
-
- On this disk you will find three missions for AoW that I have written.
- Please note that all the missions require version 1.4 of Act of War. The
- best way of getting this is by registering. If you have not registered yet,
- I would advise that you do soon. It is only £5 and you get an up-to-date
- version of the game and a mission editor so you can make your own mission
- and put them in the public domain.
-
- Using the mission disk
- ----------------------
-
- Floppy drive users:
- If you only have one drive, then boot up from the AoW disk and load the
- program. Once you get to the main menu, swap the game disk for the mission
- disk, wait for disk access to stop and select the choose mission option. A
- list of the missions will come up for you to chose from.
- If you have two (or more) drives, then boot up from the AoW disk without
- the mission disk in any drive. Once Workbench appears, you can then insert
- the mission disk in the second (or third, or even fourth if want to be
- different) drive and load the program as usual. When you chose the
- missions, the extra ones will appear (as if by magic...:-).
-
- Hard Drive Users:
- Boot up from the hard drive before putting the mission disk in. Once
- Workbench has loaded, insert the mission disk and run the game as normal.
- Of course, you could just copy them to the px: assign on your hard drive.
-
- IMPORTANT NOTE
- --------------
-
- In order for the mission disk to work properly, it must be called "px". If
- it is not, then the missions will not be recognized by the game.
-
- Designers Notes
- ---------------
-
- These missions took several days of effort to produce over a period of a
- few weeks. I hope you enjoy them and it encourages you to write some
- missions of your own. If you do, both Dave Smith, the author of AoW, and I
- would like to see them. Perhaps you could put them in the public domain by
- sending them to PD libraries. It is really easy. All you do is put them on
- a disk like this one and send the disk to a PD library like 17-Bit. In just
- a short time, your disk will appear in the advertisements in all your
- favorite Amiga magazines.
-
- All the graphics in these missions are my own work. If you want to use
- them in your own missions, you are free to do so, but it would be courteous
- to mention me in the doc file.
-
- Next, I am going to start working on some medieval type missions with
- knights, men-at-arms and peasants attacking castles. This may take some
- time as it will require a whole new set of graphics will have to be drawn.
-
- Lastly, I like to say hello to Neil Yates. I am glad that my previous
- missions on 17-Bit disk 3096 encouraged you to put your very good Aliens
- missions into the public domain. I hope to see more of your missions soon.
- If any of you missed these missions, they are on 17-Bit disk 3201.
-
- Well, now I've run out of things to say (type?), so I'll stop. If you want
- to contact me to tell me what you thought of my missions, or indeed send me
- your own missions, then my address is at the bottom of this doc. I promise
- to reply to any letters that I receive. I received absolutely no letters
- from my last set of missions. I hope that is not a comment on how good they
- were. I hope to get at least a few this time, even if they are slagging
- criticism. Any comments or criticism will be gratefully received. I would
- prefer glowing praise and a nice big cheque, but It is not necessary :-).
-
- Finally (honest! :-), I have made some sheets to make the job of mission
- designing easier. There are four types of record sheets, one for
- characters, one for weapons, one for miscelaneous bits and one for the
- sound samples. They are properly produced in a DTP program and look really
- good. If you would like some copies of these, contact me and I'll see what
- I can do. I may have to charge a bit due to the photocopying and postage,
- but it will not be much.
