- The Anti-Lemmin' Demo by Eric Schwartz
-
- This Animation is one I take great pride in. I'm not sure why, possibly
- because I spent a lot more time on the still graphics, but in any case I
- think it's one of my best for overall looks, humor, timing, and cinematic
- nature.(I hope I know what's good, I came out with some real turkeys
- through trial and error). This animation lasts a full two minutes and ten
- seconds( including titles) and should run in two megabytes of memory if
- your workbench is not very demanding. You may have to run it from CLI
- without loading workbench. in that case, the CLI command is:
-
- > CD Lemmin'1:
- > Movieplayer Anti-Lemmin'
-
- NOTE: I have noticed that the Movieplayer program will not always work in
- some cases, giving a "Can't find libraries" error. I have yet to determine
- exactly what libraries Movieplayer wants, but I know that Movieplayer will
- ALWAYS run on a standard commodore-issue workbench(you know, JUST a
- workbench disk, nothing else), and will rarely run on a 'stripped'
- workbench like what comes on some other program's disk (i.e. it WON'T run
- on Deluxepaint's workbench)
-
- In case you haven't figured it out already, The Anti-Lemmin' Demo is a
- rather NASTY parody on that great game company Psygnosis' great game,
- Lemmings. I sure hope I don't get sued.
-
- This animation is freely distributable as long as all files(including this
- readme)are present upon distribution. The concept and animation are
- copyright 1991 Eric Schwartz( but I'll admit Psygnosis has some title to
- the characters.)
-
- The animation script looks for its files in three directories. These
- directories must be intact and named the same for the animation to run
- properly. Some ASSIGNs must be made to play the anim from Hard disk . The
- three main directories are:
-
- Lemmin'1:Moviebacks
- Lemmin'1:Moviesets (the main script file is on Lemmin'1: )
- Lemmin'2:Moviesounds
-
- One workaround for Hard Disk(or HD drive)users who own the Moviesetter
- program by Gold Disk is to Load the Animation into MovieSetter and
- re-saving it in "embed" mode. This saves the anim as one large file which
- can reside and play from any directory.
