The Terraformer tool does crash sometimes, so save often. Also never load a map while another map is currently loaded. It doesn't clean up resources properly and you will get asset corruption if you save. Always exit the tool before loading another map.
The tool requires a graphics card that can run 3D in a window. Always run your desktop in 16-bit mode when running the tool. Otherwise the tool may crash when launched or exhibit other problems.
The following chipsets worked with the Terraformer tool as of 12/17/99:
Voodoo Rush
Riva 128
Riva TNT
Riva TNT2
Riva TNT2 Ultra
Other cards may function properly, but have not been tested with the tools. Voodoo 3 cards work fine in the 3D view, but don't display properly in the 2D view of the tool. Other cards may experience similar problems.
Several of the included support documents have been created with Word '97 and Excel '97. If you don't own these products you can download viewers for these files at the following links:
