- Short: Amiga Descent v 0.5a (New: Assembler optimized tmapper)
- Author: Parallax Software, Port by Thomas & Hans-Jörg Frieden
- Uploader: tfrieden@uni-trier.de (Thomas Frieden)
- Type: game/shoot
- Replaces: ADescent-0.4.lha
-
- r e q u i r e m e n t s
- =======================
-
- Currently requires:
-
- o Either a graphics card or AGA. With a graphics card, you need to have
- CyberGraphX or a compatible system installed. Reports confirm that it
- also works with Picasso96.
-
- o A commercial Descent I HOG and PIG file, at least version 1.5. Must be
- the PC version. If you have a MAC version, try the '-nosongs' switch.
-
- o A fast processor. A o4o or o6o is recommended. There's nothing stopping
- you from trying it on a o3o, but it will be slow. A o2o is required.
-
- o AHI V4 must be installed.
-
- o ixemul.library 47.2 (Available on ftp.ninemoons.com, or our website)
-
- o Kickstart 3.0 or better.
-
- o About 10 MB of memory. Dunno if it works with VMM, I didn't bother to try.
- It will obviously be slow if it does.
-
- f e a t u r e s
- ===============
-
- o Supports variable graphic modes (start with '-smr' to get a screenmode
- requester). Includes AGA and GfxCards.
-
- o Supports Digital Sound Effects, in Stereo. No Music so far, I have problems
- finding a description of the HMP/HMQ format.
-
- o Analog Joystick support. Includes support for four-button analog sticks as
- well as CH Flightstick or compatible. In Flightstick mode, supports all
- four buttons and the "hat", but no thrust lever.
-
- o Mouse Support.
-
- o Amiga-ized keyboard. Knows Amiga keys.
-
- o IBM PC PAUSE key mapped to HELP
-
- o Still has the debug keys in it (look into the spoilers section if you want
- to know)
-
- o Automapper *should* work now. The only thing left to do is to keep
- the background clean (try, and you will eventually see)
-
- o Much faster now because of assembly texture mapping
-
- o FPU support (recommended for o6o only)
-
- o Workbench startup and icon tooltypes
-
- o ViRGE support (currently only available on our webpage)
