General information
///////////////////
This demonstration was first presented at the Assembly'94
held in Helsinki, Finland in the summer 1994. It attended
the democompetition and got the 5th place. This final
version has been released on the 6th of September 1994.
We spent many many hours making this demonstration. As we all
live on different towns it is pretty difficult to make large
productions. We started compiling this demo after The Party ]I[,
so it took a quite long period to finish this demo. Please give
us some feedback of this demo, so that we'll know whether this
was worth making or not. We know there are still lots of
interesting bugs to be found, but... Try to enjoy it as it is!
The credits for this demo are as follows:
All coding by.........Feenix (Sami Kuhmonen)
* All graphics by.......HEGA (Heikki Korpela)
All musics by.........Mikki (Mikko Katajamaa)
And design by.........Epical (Really?)
* Except the startscreen and 3-lightsourced-rotatebar logos
are made by Kapsu (Sami Kapanen) and Images-scroller font
plus greetz-wobbler gfx were drawn by Feenix.
And when we say all coding/musics/graphics, we mean ALL!
We have made everything by ourselves. We haven't used any ripped
or public sources, unlike many other demos and intros released
at Assembly'94. Also we haven't used any scanned pictures or
ripped samples. 3D-Studio was neither used for creating the
pictures.
System requirements
///////////////////
Images requires a 386SX computer with a VGA card and about 575kb
free memory. Although, a fast 486 computer with a fast VGA card is
highly recommended. You DON'T need any VLB or PCI cards, because
we don't like to code demos that require better machine than
486/33MHz. And to hear the musics you will need a Gravis
UltraSound card. If you have a GUS and you can't hear any music,
check that you have set your ULTRSND variable correctly and try
running ULTRINIT before executing Images. To get 575kb free memory,
you can use memory managers like EMM386 or QEMM, but we recommend
that you use only HIMEM.SYS in order to get the best result.
Problems
////////
Due the lack of time Images has many bugs. We can only hope that
it works fine on your computer. If you have troubles with running
Images, try using different boots, clean boot should work but you
never know... Also if you have DoubleSpace installed some pictures
might be a bit messy. If Images doesn't work all the way through,
you can jump straight to the Space-part by typing: 'DATA SPACE'.
The SPACE MUST be in capital letters.
By the way, try to find that hidden part!
Notes from the coder (Feenix)
////////////////////
As said, this demo was made in about 8 months and if you calculate
off the time spent for school, it isn't much. Actually the Space-
part was coded in about two weeks(!) as we got a little hurry.
So if (when) you find a bug, don't just blurt out: "Hey, they can't
code!" - Think first how big a hurry we had. Some parts are still
missing from Space, but I just couldn't find the time to code them!
The sourcecode is about 25,000 lines long, and there are NO ripped
or borrowed routines. Everything has been done by me personally.
I don't like to check out others' routines if I can't do it myself.
Only if I have already done it, I might check out how someone else
has done the same thing. And, of course, all code is pure 386-
assembler. No C or Pascal has been used.
The musicroutine is also my very own S3M-player which is not ready
to be published. I'll propably start to make a public version of it
soon, if I have time (school!). And I guess I'll have to advertise
my MOD/MTM-player, which has a new version coming out in few days.
It can play 4,6,8,16-Channel MOD's and MTM's up to 16 channels.
If you really need 32 channels, write to me and I'll add the support
for it! I'd also like to advertise FeenixPlayer-Object (FPO), which
is an object file version of my MOD/MTM-player. It will be released
as soon as possible.
And finally few words of some forthcoming productions:
Next project for me and Virna is a techno-music-disk containing
some of the hottest tunes by Virna. And it will propably be very
different than other music-disks, so wait'n'see!
I could also say that Epical is not going to make any large
productions for a while, because I'm having a burn-out -state
right now, and boy am I sick! Depends on other members what will
come out next...
If you need to contact me, check out the Epical.NFO-file.
