- Special clarification of the Angelic Power "Insist"
-
- 1. You can only insist human enemies. Human enemies include
- medium and heavy soldiers. You cannot insist any demons or
- robotic creatures.
- 2. You can only insist one person at a time.
- 3. Insist ends after a few seconds or when the insisted
- person dies.
- 4. An insisted person, let's call him Jimmy, will begin
- attacking the first enemy he sees. If Jimmy does not see
- any enemies he will move towards you. Also, if Jimmy is not
- attacking anyone, you can push him and he will take a few
- steps in the direction he is pushed.
- 5. Jimmy and Jarvis are soldiers. You insist Jimmy and he
- begins fighting Jarvis. Then insist ends.
- Question: Why are Jimmy and Jarvis still fighting?
- Answer: When insist ends, Jimmy no longer has any desire to
- attack his buddy Jarvis. However, Jarvis can't tell that
- Jimmy is not insisted anymore and is still attacking Jimmy.
- Accordingly, Jimmy defends himself by firing back.
-
-
- Special clarification of the Angelic Power "Resurrect"
-
- 1. You can only resurrect human enemies who are dead and
- "whole". Human enemies include medium and heavy soldiers.
- You cannot resurrect any demons or robotic creatures. A
- dead person is "whole" when no part of his body has been
- blown off. Sometimes a dead person will appear whole when,
- upon closer examination, you can see that his forearm or
- head has been blown off. These people with missing limbs
- cannot be resurrected.
- 2. You can only resurrect a person once. If you resurrect
- Lenny and then he dies, you will not be able to resurrect
- Lenny again.
- 3. Resurrect has a short range. You must stand on or next
- to the person you wish to resurrect.
- 4. When a person is resurrected, he will act as if he were
- insisted. This will not "wear off"; he will act insisted
- until he dies.

-
- 4) ALT-TAB Key Use and other Keyboard Information
-
- While playing Requiem: Avenging Angel, you SHOULD NOT
- try to switch to another application by using ALT-TAB
- because the demo may stop working and you might have
- to reboot your computer. Also, we recommend that you
- exit all other applications when playing the demo.
- ...........................................
-
- 5) Video Card And Other Hardware Drivers / DirectX
-
- Requiem: Avenging Angel Demo supports the following 3D
- accelerator cards:
-
- Voodoo Banshee
- Voodoo 1
- Voodoo 2
- Riva TNT (see "Creative(R) RIVA TNT(TM)
- compatibility" below)
- Riva 128
- Riva 128zx
- Matrox G200
- Permedia 2
- ATI Rage 128
- ATI Rage II+
- ATI Rage Pro (see "ATI RAGE(TM) PRO compatibility"
- below)
-
- 3Dfx and DirectX 6.1 compatibility
-
- If your display appears overly dark while employing D3D and
- 3Dfx, it may be a result of incompatibility between 3Dfx /
- D3D and DirectX 6.1. To correct this: a) quit the game if
- you are playing it. b) right-click on the desktop, and
- select "Properties" from the menu that appears. c) select
- the tab that corresponds to your particular accelerator
- card. d) adjust the brightness by manually sliding the
- 'Gamma Correction' slidebars to the desired level (it is
- recommended to link the slidebars).
-
- Although D3D card manufacturers have stated that they've
- optimized their drivers to deliver the fastest performance
- possible, occasional performance problems continue to be
- observed when running Requiem: Avenging Angel on certain
- D3D accelerator cards. Should you experience such
- problems, we recommend upgrading to a faster processor,
- such as a Pentium II or a processor rated at 300 mHz or
- faster. Should problems persist, we recommend running the
- game in software mode only.
-
-
- Creative(R) RIVA TNT(TM) compatibility
-
- If you want to use a Creative RIVA TNT 3D accelerator, you
- should download the latest "Detonator" software. Go to
- http://www.nvidia.com/ . Select "End Users" and then
- select "Drivers" to get the latest drivers for your hard-
- ware.
-
-
- ATI RAGE(TM) PRO compatibility
-
- Currently, existing ATI RAGE PRO drivers are not compatible
- with Requiem: Avenging Angel. If you want to use an ATI
- RAGE PRO 3D accelerator, you should first try using the
- latest drivers from ATI Technologies Inc. Their drivers
- website is:
