This is the (latest ;-) ) Installation Guide for the Demo-Version of SORCERERS!
After having downloaded the !Spark-archives 'Disc1of5' - 'Disk5of5'
and the archives containing the languages 'Deutsch' and/or 'English',
you'll have to perform the following steps to get a working copy:
1. If you don't have a Harddisk, throw this stuff away.
2. If you have one, be prepared to have 6 formated discs on hand,
800 kB ADFS E-Format each (7 for the bilingual version).
3. Name the discs 'Disc1of5', 'Disc2of5', 'Disc3of5', 'Disc4of5',
'Disc5of5', 'Deutsch' (and/or 'English'). (Note that they _have_
to be named Disc1of5, not DISC1OF5, else installation won't work)
4. Unpack the archives on the relating Discs using !SparkPlug 2.x
Now you should have the !Summoner and Data1 in the root-directory
of Disc1of5, Data2 on Disc2of5, ... and the (two) Resources-
folder(s) on the (two) language-disc(s).
5. Double-click over the !Summoner-Icon on Disc1of5.
This will install its Icon on the Iconbar.
6. After pressing MENU over the Iconbar you will be presented with an
installation-menu.
Choosing the desired language and dragging the Icon to a filer
window will start the installation. Just follow the instructions
given to perform the installation onto your Harddisk.
7. If you want to install both languages, repeat step 6., but click
on "Language only" this time. Also don't forget to set the correct
language ;-)
(Be aware to have ~9 MB free if you want to install the bilingual
Version)
8. After the installation press MENU over the Icon on the Iconbar again
and perform the Operation "Configure" to choose the options fitting
your machine's configuration best (Note that for machines other than
the Risc PC a screen-refresh of 85 Hz is suggested).
9. If you didn't make errors during installation, the demo should
boot up after double-clicking onto the !SorcDemo-icon on your
Harddisk now.
However if it doesn't, don't hesistate to contact me
(see e-mail address below).
NOTES: * This version of Sorcerers! is not going to be released as it
stands, at least not in the near future (Maybe later as bonus-
track on the CD-version or even as Shareware product when the
new version is out for a while).
* We hired new graphicians and programmers, rewrote most of the
text and hope, that an all new Sorcerers! game which will give
more honour to the plot will appear on Acorn early 1996,
and mid 1996 on MS DOS (well, we`ll have to get back the
additional costs).
* The new Sorcerers! "Deluxe" will feature Super VGA graphics
(640x400) and on Acorn machines probably hardware scrolling,
which will speed up things a little. We are still in negotiations
about the soundtrack, but this time we will record it at a studio
and computerize it later.
* A short slideshow giving more detailed information and some
pre-release-graphics will appear later this year at this place
(hopefully in September), because we are interested to get your
comments in an earlier stage than we got them when we were
developing Sorcerers! (the current one).
We thank you for all comments on this Demo of Sorcerers! we got up to now.
* Finally I'd like to point out again, that the game was developed
for use with an ARM3 or the RiscPC, so don't be surprised if it's
pretty slow on a machine containing an ARM250 or even an ARM2.
