- 3Dfx version
- ------------
- This demo will run only on 3D accelerator cards that
- use the 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics or Voodoo Rush chipsets.
-
-
- Video card drivers must be installed
- ------------------------------------
- This demo requires 3Dfx Glide (video drivers) version 2.3 or
- greater.
-
- When running Turok, if you get the message "Unable to open
- graphics driver: video_3dfx.dll", you either haven't installed
- the Glide drivers, or you have an early version.
-
- You can download Glide 2.3 at the following address:
-
- http://www.3dfx.com/software/download_glidert.html
-
-
- DirectX 5.0 must be installed
- -----------------------------
- You can download dirextX 5.0 at:
-
- http://www.microsoft.com/directx/default.asp
-
-
- Controls
- --------
- From the opening screen, select Controls, Setup, Keyboard, etc.
- You will see the default key mappings, which you can modify and
- save if you desire.
-
-
- Drive space
- -----------
- Turok requires 25 MB of hard drive space to install. In
- addition, during gameplay, Turok requests 30 MB of virtual
- memory from Windows. Depending upon how much RAM you have,
- Windows may need to increase the size of your swap file to
- accommodate this request (this usually happens automatically).
- If this results in not enough disc space, Turok will let you
- know with a message. If you have another drive or partition
- with 25 MB free space, you could try installing Turok there
- instead of the default location on C: (where your swap file
- probably is). This will free up space on C:, allowing your swap
- file to grow larger, and, hopefully, Turok to run.
-
-
- Turn off other applications
- ---------------------------
- Other Windows applications left running while playing Turok
- could be using system resources that would improve Turok's
- performance. Also, if another application grabs Windows' focus
- (e.g., announcing email), Turok will simply disappear and will
- need to be re-started.
-
-
- Command line options
- --------------------
- -noRoll Disables jump left or right when double tapping
- the strafe key. To use this option, you must create a Windows
- shortcut to Turok.exe, then right-click the shortcut and select
- "Properties". Click on the "Shortcut" tab and add "-noroll"
- after turok.exe in the "Target" section (be sure there is a
- space between "turok.exe" and "-noroll". The "Target" section
- will then look like:
-
- C:\Program Files\Acclaim\Turok\turok.exe -noroll
-
- Then, run Turok via the shortcut.
-
-
- X/Y axis toggle keys
- --------------------
- On the joystick/pad and mouse setup screens, you can set the Y
- Axis Behavior (forward/backward movement of the stick or mouse)
- to either cause Turok to look up/down or move forward/backward.
- You can temporarily swap these behaviors by pressing and holding
- the Y Axis Toggle key (default: P) on the keyboard while moving
- the controller in the Y axis direction. E.g., if the
- controller's Y axis movement normally moves Turok
- forward/backward, he will temporarily look up/down if P is being
- depressed.
-
- The same approach applies to X Axis Behavior
- (side-to-side movement of the stick or mouse) which can be set
- to rotate or strafe. Pressing and holding the X Axis Toggle key
- (default: O) on the keyboard while moving the controller in the
- X axis direction will temporarily swap behavior.
-
-
- Y Axis Looking
- --------------
- In Setup for joysticks and mice, there is a Y Axis Looking
- option. This changes how Turok looks up/down when directed by
- joystick/mouse movement in the Y axis (and there are two ways Y
- axis movement can cause Turok to look up/down: either the Y Axis
- Behavior has been set to look up/down, or the Y axis toggle key,
- mentioned above, is causing Y axis movement to look up/down).
-
- If "forward looks up" is checked, Y axis movement in the forward
- direction will cause Turok to look up. If "forward looks down"
- is checked, Y axis movement in the forward direction will cause
- Turok to look down.
