This is the 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 (if yet
available) '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 (if supplied), 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). And _please_ contact me and don't post
this stuff to c.s.a.g as many people did last time. This time the
Demo had to undergo a severe testing before I uploaded it, so there
shouldn't be Bugs any more.
NOTES: * This time the screen-redraw has been rewritten, so on the slower
machines the demo flickers a few times, this will be fixed in
the full version (and maybe there will be an update of Disc1of5
when I upload the English language folder as well)
* Also, your opinion towards our game (and especially a
comparison between it and the other game named quite similar
(you know which one i mean ;-) ) is always welcome.
* Finally I'd like to point out that the game was develloped for
use with an ARM3 or even the fabulous machine called RiscPC...
so don't be surprised if it's pretty slow on a machine
containing an ARM250 or even an ARM2.
Have fun with the demo and, if you like it, buy the full version :-)
