- What does VAMP FX do and how does it work?-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- VAMP FX modifies the RIP Graphics with commands that tells RIP 2.2
- to play a .WAV file users have in thier Icons Directory...
- ANSI doesn't look at the data and with RIP1.54 it is ignored...
- So once the user has the FXWAVES.ZIP (*.wav) unzipped in their
- RIPTERM\ICONS directory VAMPIRES has 16-bit SOUND!
- As well as ALL the Games and IGMs using the FX Sound System!
-
- How do I install it?-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- Easy...Backup *.RIP in the Vampires\Graphics dir
- And unzip VAMPFXRP.ZIP in the Vampires\Graphics dir and overwrite
- All the existing .RIP files. That's it!
-
- Any one calling in RIP 2.2 who has installed the FX Waves will
- now hear Sound in Mike Fenton's Vampires: Children of Darkness
- Be sure to make the FXWAVES.ZIP Available for download.
- An VAMPFX.RIP and VAMPFX.ANS have been included to announce it to
- your users.
-
- How do I know it's working?-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
-
- You can't hear the sound local, just like you can't see the RIP...
- Just ASK one of your RIP 2.2 users and he'll tell you just how
- Awesome it is! Or.... :) Give me a call with RIP 2.2 and check it
- out! (You know if there's a problem Everyone will let you know!)
- For the latest Versions of the FX Sound System and latest Waves ...

-
- Trouble Shooting-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Common Q & A
-
- Q: Some of the Sounds are getting chopped off...
- A: If the WAV you're using is fairly long and you're moving on to the
- next screen, or hitting another button the sound may get chopped.
- 16-bit waves may also get chopped off occasionally.
-
- Q: Some of the Buttons don't have Sound...
- A: There could be a few reasons... You're playing the DEMO or Shareware,
- You haven't installed all the waves, or you are using your HOT KEYS.
- To hear ALL the SOUNDS you MUST use a MOUSE and click on the buttons
- that marked FX or Find the hidden Hot Spots..
-
- Q: When I click on the FX buttons the text scrolls by real fast and
- sometimes it even kicks me all the way back to town!
- A: You're using RIP 1.54 and your terminal doesn't understand what the
- command to play a wave is...click on the regualar buttons, use
- your Hot Keys, or better yet, get RIPterm 2.2!
-
- Q: Sometimes the Graphics seem to lose Icons or the Text doesn't look right
- Or the RIP seems scrambled...
- A: That's a RIPterm problem that may occur because of baud rate, buffers or the
- 16650 UART ... consult the RIPterm.doc for possible causes and solutions.
-
- I've tested the RIP and Sound for many hours with alot of remote test
- worked out all of the bugs (I hope) associated with the add-on.
- The only other problems have been on the users side with poor sound
- cards or some other type of configuration conflict with RIPterm...
- They should either get a better sound card or try and consult Telegrafix
- the makers of RIPterm.
