- U.F.O Tracker v1.0 Vol.14 (((wave sound))))
-
- This is an Arcade SpaceCraft Simulator using real human voice as a computer
- saying Red Alert and tracking U.F.O's. Sound effects of moving U.F.Os coming
- at your SpaceCraft. Your at the edge of space orbiting the moon while on
- patrol you see many U.F.Os coming at you. You view the U.F.Os in a 3D 5
- sided display windows while you see your SpaceCraft controls in a 3D view in
- front of you.
-
- This is a bit different than Tank Tracker, when in this game the double
- dual scoring in right inside your 3D control panel. Your mouse will become
- your photon target sight aimer Fire your weapons on the incoming 3D U.F.O
- targets with your real photon blaster sound.
-
- Eye-catching special effects, 3D Earth in the background, and full scale
- moon below you while you play this sim. Note you view a different object in
- each 5 views.
-
- More info on the main menu line under Help
-
- Using New Quick Menu
-
- New feature!
- Under any of my Tracker games you get to hear and extra sound effect to
- simulate actual push button or computer aided sounds effects.
-
- Every menu item above as this effect during and after the game as well!
- Options is now replaced by Speed which is your main Control Center which
- will only control Speed and Timer. Note Under this ShareWare version you
- can't access Speed, but you'll be told this when you click on Speed.
-
- The Quick Menu layout is change where the Play Pause Stop are in the right
- postion.
-
- Fast game play access with your mouse, no more going through pull down Game
- menu drop access to start the game. Just click on Play to play the game
- right now or Pause the game if you got a phone call or etc..
-
- The word Continue will appear when you click on Pause then click on Continue
- to play on! Reset the game anytime you want during a game or even on pause
- by hitting Play again to start a new game! Stop the game now and bring up
- the introduction screen for a full game restart. This will happen anyway
- when your game is over then click on play again to start.
-
- Also when you do a full Exit out while playing a game whenever you want
- instead of double clicking on the left bar. This comes in handy if your
- boss is coming near your work area! For each time you use any of the above
- menu items you'll hear wave sound effects just like you hear from Windows.
- Includes female voice greetings on Play, Stop, GameOver and Exit.
-
- Check under Register for 7_Games Special Offer!
-
- Now under Help will tell you more about using the above Quick Menu!
-
- Note: Under this ShareWare version Speed is disable and game
- play is set by the Author. When you register this copy Options will
- be enable for you to change speed, target count, time!
- This is why your strongly encourage to mail in your registered
- fee to the author.
-
- When you see this label Wave System Sound, is available only if you have
- either of the following; Sound Card or Board installed or Speaker.drv to
- play the wave sound through your build in Pc speaker. Sound Card option is
- better, since you can play the wave sound through you mini amp spks or
- through your home stereo unit.
-
- Note: Click on any main menu item from Options thru Help and you will hear
- wave sounds also. Now you'll also get real female voice announcement when
- you click on Exit, Play, Stop and when the Game is Over that will be address
- to you.
-
- Since this game is a ShareWare Copy and is only for evaluation purposes only
- OPTIONS is not available, and I already setup the game time to 1 minute and
- 45 seconds and speed is just set to slow and the number of open targets is
- low.
-
- This will give you a good idea how the game is played plus why you need to
- send in your Register fee of only $5.25 plus .52 cents for shipping/
- handling.
-
- Under the registered version target windows are set to the max, game speed
- is normal an game time is set to 5 minutes, but can be lowered by you using
- the Speed & Timer Control Center. You also get higher scoring than the
- shareware version. Speed can be set from this scale
-
- [Slow |||||||||| Normal |||||||||| Fast] in the Registered version.
-
- On the main menu Register is replace with Hints on the game. Also when you
- register this game you'll can also get a none sound version & this sound
- version for the same shareware fee if you like. Registered users get,
- TipNews Letter when it's available, coupons off your next order of games.

-
- IMPORTANT INFO YOU SHOULD KNOW!
-
- Installation
- Game
- Step 1
- 1.To install this game you should not place it in your C:\WINDOWS or
- C:\WIN31 or C:\W31 directory, but into it's own subdirectory like in
- this example:
-
- C:\WINDOWS\GAMES
-
- This way you don't have to clutter up your main Windows directory with
- all these games.
-
- Step 2.
- Just copy either one to your game directory or whichever you choice to
- place them. In this example it would be COPY UFO.EXE C:\WINDOWS\GAMES
-
- Step 3.
- Now that the file contains is dump out, you can use the FileManger and
- Program Manager to drag and drop the UFO.exe to your favorite program goup.
- This is one way you can do this! The other way is that you can use the
- Program Manager New item feature and insert UFO.exe that way.
-
- Step 4.
- Add the game to one of your ProgMan Manager Group files or leave it as a
- Icon button by doing a drop and drag in Norton Desktop, Pc Tools for
- Windows, or run it from DashBoard quick icon launcher or Program Menu.
-
- Wave Sound Files
-
- To install the wave files for this game place them in your Windows
- directory or better yet create a SOUND directory and copy all your
- current wave files to that directory. Add this SOUND directory to your PATH
- line in the autoexec.bat file.
-
- Also make sure your using a sound card, like Sound Blaster or any other
- wave form compatible card. Also for PC speakers users only you can download
- SPEAKER.ZIP and use your PC speaker to pick up Wave sound file also. But
- having the Sound Card is the better route to go!
-
- To make U.F.O Tracker more fun to play at the longer times I have added
- real sound effects to the game play, menu items and etc...
-
- Wave Sound files as listed below that are used with this version;
- Files inside WAVEFILE.EXE
-
- IG.WAV, TRACK.WAV, TRACK4.WAV, FTON.WAV, RESET.WAV, CLEAR.WAV, GDBYUFO.WAV
-
- These 7 wave files must be used with this game. But don't have to be placed
- in the same directory with the game in question.
-
- Note: Failure to keep these files together or in your a file that is in
- your path will cause the program to use the default beep wave sound. Or if
- you don't have [] ENABLE SOUND checkoff in the CONTROL PANEL Sound Icon or
- have no sound card installed in your computer, then you can also play this
- game with out hearing. But it is whole lot better if you can heard the
- sound voice effects in this game.
-
- Step1.
- INSTALLATION OF WAVE FILES
- Example; Create a C:\SOUND directory
-
- Step2.
- Edit your Autoexec.bat Path line and add this path to it
- Example; C:\WINDOWS;C:\SOUND
-
- Step3.
- Copy from this disk WAVEFILE.EXE to C:\SOUND
- Example; COPY WAVEFILE.EXE C:\SOUND
-
- Step4.
- Type in a Run Command line WAVEFILE and make sure your in
- a C:\SOUND directory. Or Use the FileManager and mouse
- and double click on WAVEFILE.EXE the same effect will happen.
-
- Step5.
- Remove WAVEFILE.EXE from your HD now!
-
- For every main menu item you click on or select a wave sound will go off.
- This is normal and the game was setup this way. So don't be alarmed when
- you here these extra sounds effects.
-
- Also one more thing when you do select Exit from the main menu line you'll
- here a nice female voice message before the game closes. It's a nice touch
- to add to the game Ithought? :o) Includes also Play, Stop, GameOver.
-
- Trouble Shooting Guide (For those who only have 3 out of 4megs free on
- their system Only)
-
- If your system as only 4 megs and your perm swap file is set to 4 to 10 kb?
- Then I would recommend that you change that figure to 11264kb and also
- switch from a perm to a temp swap file instead! Change your settings if
- you get a on screen message saying NOT ENOUGH MEMORY TO RUN THIS APPLICATION
-
- This will correct any memory problems if your system has only 3 or 4 megs!
-
- 8 Megs or More memory won't have this problem!
-
- Step#1.
- From the Main Window Group click on Control Panel icon
-
- Step#2
- Click on 386 enhanced icon the one that has the numbers 3 8 6 on it
-
- Step#3
- Click on Virtual Memory
-
- Step#4
- You should see something like the following displayed in this example
-
- Virtual Memory
- Current Settings
- Drive: C:
- Size: 4096kb
- Type: Temporary
-
- Note: This setting above is good for 8 or more megs systems, and some will
- say that a perm setting is better than a Tem one! But the Temp is a whole
- faster and only uses what it needs in HD space, while the Perm is slower,
- and leave itself on your HD always.
-
- Step#5
- Click on Change>>
-
- Step#6
- On New Settings
- Change Permanent to Temp
-
- Step#7
- See New Size, by-pass what Windows says for you size and type in 11264 for
- the kb
-
- Step#8
- Click Ok
-
- Step#9
- Click Ok to ReStart Windows
-
- Step#10
- Later-on in the day do a full exit out of Windows and do a full defrag
- using MS Defrag, or Norton Speedisk, or PC Disk Cleaner etc..
-
- Note: This should get you going, this is a trade secert about the correct
- size of these swap files I'm sharing this bit of info with you,
- SO MOMS-THE-WORD or whatever that old saying was ok!
-
- Use this method if you you get that memory warning display, underwise you
- don't have to change your factory default settings, only time you might
- have to if it get corrupted. If is was then you would have to remove the
- perm swap first, then restart Windows, then exit Windows. Now defrag you
- your HD then go back into Windows and reset up your Perm Swap file again.
- Yes it's alot of work, but this way you'll get clean Swap file that is not
- corrupted anymore!
