Immoral Cumbat v1.2 Help
╘════════════════════════╛
Immoral Cumbat is the world's first XXX 3D "virtual reality" game. It
takes you through an adult adventure in a world that could only exist
in the minds of the unbalanced.
Note: This game is intended for adult audiences. Parental discretion
is advised.
Requires ∙ 386, 486, Pentium or better
∙ 1 Meg or more of XMS
∙ VGA or better
∙ DOS 3.0 or higher
Supports ∙ Sound Blaster, Adlib and compatible cards

CONTROLS
This program places you "inside" a virtual world. What you see on your
screen is your view of this world. When you move or turn within this
world, the view will change accordingly. After you play for a few minutes
it will become natural to you.

COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
/SB Scan for soundcard. If one is not found, the PC Speaker
will be used for sound effects. This is done automatically
the first time the game is run.
/PC Use the PC Speaker for sound effects.
/None No sound effects will be used.
PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
Q1. Why doesn't the game run under Windows?
A1. This program cannot be run under MicroSoft Windows because
Windows doesn't like Dos programs that use Sound Cards and
ModeX. Maybe MicroSoft will correct this in Windows 95,
but until that time you'll have to exit Windows (totally,
don't just click on the MsDos icon!) and run it from the
command line.
Q2. I can't hear any sound effects. Why not?
A2. Within the game, hit F3 to pull up the sound controls.
The and keys adjust the volume. Move the sliders all
the way to the right for maximum volume. Hitting ENTER
toggles the sounds on and off. Try playing with these
settings.
If you don't get this menu when you press F3, restart the
game using the /SB or /PC command line options and then
try F3 again.
If you still don't get any sound, try looking at the
CUMBAT.INI file. This file contains the game defaults.
Make sure that the SoundSource is set to 1 (for a Sound
Blaster) or 2 (for PC Speaker).
If you still don't get any sound, verify that your sound
card is functioning properly and that it is Sound Blaster
compatible (preferablly hardware compatible, although several
cards that use software emulation are know to work fine).
If it is, contact our technical support at (913) 651-3201
and we will try to correct things.
Q3. Whenever I start the game, it quits with a message saying:
"An error occurred during initialization." What gives?
A3. The solution to this depends upon the exact error message.
Possible messages are:
"Unable to allocate buffers. You must free up conventional
memory."
To correct this refer to the section on "Memory
Configuration" at the end of this file.
"File XXXXXX not found."
The listed file was not found in the current directory.
Make sure that all of the distribution files exist in
the same directory as the program (see FILES.LST for
an itemized list of the files). Also make sure that you
are actually in the proper directory when you run the
game (in other words, don't stick it in your PATH or
by including its full path on the command line, use
the CD command to get to the directory).
If you are missing a file, you can always reinstall.
"Unable to load ....." or "Error opening ...."
The RDL files have probably been corrupted somehow.
Try reinstalling the game. Also check that your
CONFIG.SYS file has a line that says "FILES=10" or
some number greater than 10.
"No XMS driver installed."
This game uses XMS memory. Your CONFIG.SYS must contain
an XMS driver, such as HIMEM.SYS which comes with DOS or
a replacement like QEMM386.SYS. See the section on
"Memory Configuration" for suggested configurations.
"Error allocating XMS memory."
Make sure that you have at least 1 meg of XMS memory
available. You can check this by typing MEM from the
command line and looking at the line that says either
"BYTES AVAILABLE XMS MEMORY" or "EXTEN
