GLOOMY BREED
============
Hello Gloomy Breeder! Thanks for giving this a try!
The Gloomy Breed stuff available right now is just a work-in-progress
demo version so it doesnt come with any nice installers or anything.
I will write one eventually, but not just yet.
One final note, do not upload these archives to Aminet or any other
BBS/site. They are a work-in-progress demo and I don't want them
spread until the final version is ready.
DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS
=====================
If you are going to be using Gloom Deluxe in any screenmode apart
from "Classic", then you need to download the "GBreed256.lha" archive.
If you are going to be using Classic Gloom or playing Gloom Deluxe in
"Classic" mode then you need "GBreed4096.lha" instead.
Note that if you try to use the files from GBreed4096.lha with Gloom
Deluxe running in any mode apart from "Classic" then you can be sure
of a crash! You absolutely *have* to use GBreed256.lha, OK?
So:
- Classic Gloom or Gloom Deluxe in "Classic" mode => GBreed4096.lha
- Gloom Deluxe in any screenmode apart from "Classic" => GBreed256.lha
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
=========================
1) Go into the "misc" directory where you have Gloom installed and rename
the "script" file to something else eg: "script.original"
2) Extract the archive you downloaded to where you have Gloom installed.
Don't worry, no files will be overwritten.
eg:
> cd GAMES:Gloom/
> lha x RAM:GBreed256.lha
3) Thats it! Now when you start Gloom you will be playing the Gloomy Breed
levels instead of the normal ones.
Should you wish to return to the normal Gloom levels, simply delete the
existing "misc/script" file and rename the "misc/script.original" back
to "misc/script".
My apologies for this kludgy method of doing things :( In the future, it
will be changed and made suitably easy, promise! In any case, if you have
any questions or problems then please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Finally, I hope you enjoy Gloomy Breed!
Your comments are welcome!
