│ Description of this Inter-IGM and Vanadia │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
The Haunted Forests was meant to be different from the other Vanadia IGMs.
We attempted to achieve a compromise between those users that want a fast
in and out IGM and those users that want to explore an IGM completely.
For those users that like the more complex IGMs, and want to get a nice
reward once in a while, we have incorporated mini quests into the IGM.
This involves the user talking with Triana to find out what "errand" she
wants the user to run. If the user can find the object that she wants
before they go up a level in LORD they are rewarded rather nicely.
Although these single rewards are a little higher, they will not ruin a
LORD game since the user can ONLY go on one errand for each level in LORD.
These quests can lead the users all through the Realm of Vanadia, and
will take a little luck to complete all of them. This should encourage
users to seek out the caverns in Gypsy Camp, Banda's Boardinghouse and
more. However, ALL of the quests can be solved entirely within The
Haunted Forests if the user has some luck and lots of patience.
Now, for those users that like to zap in and out of an IGM we have added
ways to make navigating the forest much quicker, although users may have
to figure some of it out. For instance, using T will randomly teleport
a user to another spot in the forest (after all the forest is enchanted).
This should help speed the process of exploring the forest, but it can not
be overused :). There is also a talisman that can be used to help a user
get out of the forest rather quickly. Using the talisman in conjuction
with the Hermit's ability to teleport you accurately, a user can get into
a place, like the castle, and back out rather quickly.
Some of the other neat things to find in the forest are the Fairy Cavern,
the Castle, Training Grounds, and a bears cave. There are several ANSI
animated games that make the IGM fun and challenging.
We have also added an advanced spell casting routine to our IGM. This
will allow users to find or buy reagents, learn spells from the
enchantress (or scrolls) and cast various spells throughout the realm.
We may add some more places in the forest that the users will have to
find on their own in the future. If you have a suggestion for something
that can be hidden in our vast forest, let us know.

│ List of included files in the Archive │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
FORESTS.EXE - The Main executable
V3FOREST.DOC - This Documentation file
FILE_ID.DIZ - A short description of this program
REGISTER.DOC - A Registration form for G.A.C. Computer Services
Products.
SPECIAL.DOC - Explains about a special offer for registering all
of The Realm of Vanadia IGMs
*.MON, *.DAT - Data files for Treasures, and monsters
MAPSxxxx.BIN - Data files for our maps
*.ART - Graphics files
NOTE: Other data files may be created in support of the software
make sure there is some hard drive space available for the game
to function correctly.
NOTE: For VERY busy multinode systems, contact us about individual
art pictures. These will use more disk space, but will require
less hard drive access when the IGM is running.
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Installation Instructions │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
NOTE: If you are running Multinode, you should have SHARE.EXE loaded, and
run the batch file SETREAD.BAT to set the read only attributes. There
is another batch file called NOREAD.BAT that will remove the read-
only attributes
OPTION 1:
NOTE: This option requires Vanadia's Arena of Warriors to be REGISTERED and
Installed on your system!
Simply unpack all of the files in this archive into the directory containing
Vanadia's Arena of Warriors Inter-IGMs. The Realm of Vanadia has a built in
expander and will automatically detect that this program is available to the
users.
It couldn't get any easier than this...
OPTION 2:
NOTE: You must have all of The Realm of Vanadia IGMs in the same
directory for the Inter-IGM options to work correctly.
1 - Unpack the contents of this archive to the VANADIA directory, or
create a new directory for this IGM called VANADIA
2 - run FORESTS CONFIG and fill in any information that is not already
present (the config program uses VANADIA.CFG, which may already
exist if you are running any Realm of Vanadia IGMs)
3 - Choose I)nstall to install the IGM into your LORD game.
