- XTreme Racing V1.00 Updates File
-
- * Please Read Carefully *
-
- Here are some details that didn't make it into the manual...
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- ChipMem only Amigas
-
- Some Amigas (mostly WB3.1 machines) do not have enough memory to load
- a music module. There is little we can do about this, so its time for
- you to upgrade! We promise the game is much much better with a
- cheap accelerator board.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Some Microbotics 030 boards, and possibly the Warp Engine 040 board :
-
- Crashes occur frequently on some of these boards. Since we don't
- have access to one we haven't yet been able to solve the problem
- but we have done a patch (included on this disk) that will allow
- XTR to work properly. Simply copy the file called 'nomusic' from
- this disk (disk 3) either onto the program disk (floppy users) or
- into the directory containing XTreme Racing.
-
- You will now have no music on the menus.
-
- Do not select music on the game, and if you find that the game itself
- frequently crashes also turn the sound effects off from the 'set up'
- menu. If we solve this problem properly, a patch will appear on Aminet
- and our BBS. Please call me if you have any details on this problem.
-
- To remove the patch simply delete the nomusic file.

- This Game requires PAL to work !

- Deathmatch Games
-
- On deathmatch games you will see several numbers at the top right of
- each player's play area. The top number is the total number of kills
- minus the number of suicides. If the game is set to end after 5 kills
- for example, this is the number to watch out for. The numbers below this
- are the number of times you have killed all the other players. Your
- player is signified by '--'.
-
- e.g. For 4 players
-
- 10
- -- 05
- 04 02
-
- Means this is player 1, and he has killed player two 5 times,player three
- 4 times, and player four 2 times. He has also killed himself once, hence
- the total number of kills = 10.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Lap Times & Save Option on the Menus
-
- Selecting this will save out all the controls, modules setups, screen
- preferences, and so on. It will also save all the best lap times.
-
- *** Lap Times are not automatically saved after races ***
-
- Also note that lap times are not saved out for computer cars because
- this would be no fun, and not from seasons because you can have
- faster engines in this mode. Single race times can be saved however.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Press ESC or the Play Button (CD32 Pad) while loading a track to abort
- a season.
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Network Games
-
- Serial Link
-
- To play a network game, one machine must select 'null modem master'
- and the other 'null modem slave'. If the connection fails, simply
- try again. Its possible that the link may fail very now and again in which
- case the game will 'time-out' after a few seconds. this can take up to
- about 40 seconds in some cases.

-
- If you have anything you wish to show us, or have some comments/bug
- reports to make then please contact me. Flattery will get you
- everywhere to by all means send me a note if you like XTR, and say how
- you think it could be improved other than by using full 3d graphics.
