WELCOME TO MOONBASE
Thank you for purchasing MOONBASE!!!
First of all, take the time to fill out the registration form in the front of your manual and send it in.
Please refer to the paper insert in the box on
installation instructions and additional information at the
end of this readme about installing MOONBASE on your hard drive.
New features for Amiga MOONBASE not documented in the
MOONBASE manual or changed from the current information.
---> Power/Thermal gauges - by either clicking on the
button in the lower left corner of the main window,
or by selecting Power/Thermal gauges from the
OPERATIONS menu, you can pull up a requester box
that shows gauges for power and thermal control.
When the needles are in the red, you need more
power or thermal control. In addition, the images
on the button will flash when your moonbase requires
more power or thermal control structures.
---> New Cursor - the cursor (when over the lunar
surface part of the main window) now shows the
locations of the airlocks and power/thermal connectors
of the currently selected tool. The airlocks appear
as small dash marks coming in from the outer edges
of the cursor outline. The power/thermal connector
is shown as a small square in on corner of the cursor.
---> Pause Mode - by either clicking on the button in the
lower right corner of the main window (with the 'P'
on it) or by selecting Pause from the SETUP menu,
you can pause the simulation. Pressing the OK button
in the resulting requester box will resume normal
play.
---> Menu Hotkeys - many of the selections in the menus
can be invoked via normal keys from the keyboard
making access to frequently used requester boxes
easier.
---> Rotate Lab - The Labratory tool can be toggled
between the vertical and horizontal orientation
by clicking with the right mouse button while in
the lunar surface part of the main window.
---> Cancel button for the Sell and Budget requester
boxes. By clicking on the cancel button in either
requester, all operations done since opening the
requester will be canceled.
---> Drag and Draw - while in the lunar surface part of
the main window, it is possible to Drag and draw
with any tool in straight lines. This is especially
helpfull while laying down Roads, Pipes, or Power cable.
To use this feature, click and hold the left mouse
button down while also holding down either shift
key on the keyboard, then drag the mouse in the
direction you wish to lay down tools. The direction
that you first move in will be the axis upon which
the tools will be placed along.
MOONBASE is not copy protected in any shape or form, and
was developed on and runs just fine on an Amiga 3000.
Additional information about installing MOONBASE on a hard
drive.
MOONBASE requires some fonts and library files in order
to operate. The installation instructions tell you to
just drag the Fonts and Libs drawers into your hard drive
partition window. This will copy all the fonts and libraries
files from the distribution disk into your fonts and libs drawers
on your hard drive. Some of the fonts and library files may
already exist on your hard drive. If you don't want the files
on the distribution disk to overwrite existing files on your
hard disk, then open a cli or shell and copy the files you don't
have on your hard disk manually from the floppy.
The files that MOONBASE requires from the fonts and libs drawers
are:
From the Libs drawer
diskfont.library
mathtrans.library
iff.library (if you want the logo screen to appear)
From the Fonts drawer
info.font and the file in the info drawer
ticker.font and the file in the ticker drawer
times.font and the files in the times drawer
sapphire.font and the file in the sapphire drawer
Any of the files that you don't have on your hard disk, just
copy them from the distribution disk.
