After a long time of inactivity Wild Light presents a new
production: Adrift, an intro for The Party'96. We ran completely out
of time making this intro and we got the competition version ready
just before the deadline. Unfortunately it was way too slow and dark
on the big screen. Here comes the final version with at least
some fixes. Hope you like it.
In this package you should find following files:
ADRIFT.EXE, 65513 bytes
ADRIFT.TXT, 4590 bytes
FILE_ID.DIZ, 115 bytes
We have been extremely busy lately. Asmu and our new musician
S^tone were about a year in the finnish army since Asm'95 and
currently Siffo and Nobody have been in the army since Asm'96.
As you might have noticed, Vulture has changed his alias to Siffo and
Odd Monk has changed it to OM.
So the current member list looks like this:
Name Alias Job
Timo Sihvo Siffo Coder
Samu Uimonen Asmu Coder
Tommi Uimonen Nobody Musician
Petteri Hiisilä S^tone Musician
Tuomas Murole OM Graphic artist
Mikko Heikkilä Preacher Graphic artist

Adrift runs in protected mode under our own extender.
It should work under DOS with all configurations like clean, HIMEM,
EMM386 or QEMM. The extender don't support DPMI yet, so Adrift won't
work under Windows or OS/2. We use 486 and FPU instructions, so
you need at least 486DX processor to run this. There was no space for
detection routines, so if you try this on a 386 or slower it will
probably just crash. :)
You should have set the BLASTER or ULTRASND environment
variables correctly if you wanna use the autodetect option in the
menu. The song takes over 800K, so you need 1MB DRAM on your GUS
for it.
Adrift supports two video modes. The low resolution mode
is a tweaked 320x240 and it should work with a standard VGA graphics
card. The high resolution mode is a 640x480 VESA mode and it should
work with VESA compatible SVGA graphics cards. The high resolution
mode needs a very fast machine and graphics card, for example P150
with a Matrox Millenium. We recommend the low resolution mode for
slower machines, because it's so much faster and looks better.
With GUS or no sound Adrift requires 4MB memory for low
resolution mode and 8MB for high resolution mode. Minimum requirement
is about 420K low memory and 1800K high memory (lowres, no sound).
Sound Blaster requires some extra memory for samples and the surround
effects sound quite bad in mono..:)

The intro crashes when you run it:
- Run the intro before any other programs
- Try different boot confiqurations
- Make sure you have a 486DX or better
Autodetect won't find your card:
- Check your environment variables
- Here's the examples for port 220H and IRQ 7
set ULTRASND = 220,1,1,7,7 (port,dma1,dma2,gusirq,sbirq)
set BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 T1 (port,irq,dma,cardver)
GUS won't start music:
- Run ULTRINIT before running the intro
GUS plays some crap:
- Make sure you have 1MB memory on your card
Something else happens:
- What on Earth could happen? ;)
- You just have to fiqure it out by yourself
- We would be clad to hear about all bugs you can find
