-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dark Demo -- Program Information -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Code by Epitaph Graphics by Epitaph Music by Magmalus (an old MOD I found) General Information ======================= *** MAKE SURE TO VIEW THIS DEMO WITH SOUND! *** This demo NEEDS the sound to play otherwise the cool effects won t run! It s synchronized to the music Without music it ll still look cool but remember -- you re missing out! Read the next section for info on getting the sound to run Problems Fixes Answered Questions ========================================= The main problem will be the MOD not playing or not loading There are (as always) several reasons for this Not enough free conventional memory available You must have at least 600k free base RAM (it may work with about 580k but if you don t have too much free that s your problem ) You re running Windows95 and it s done something silly I won t be the first one when I say that Windows95 does some really stupid things while trying to emmulate DOS If the MOD doesn t play quit your DOS window open a new one and try to run it again If that doesn t work reboot in DOS Incompatible Memory Managers Often called IMM s these wonderful programs sit in memory and try to move pieces of RAM around while the program is running Now I have no idea how the MOD player works -- there s no source -- but I m certain that EMM386 and possibly QEMM will mess it up If it doesn t run that might be your problem Fate has it in for you The bhuddists believe in fate or a pre-determined path in life If the universe has it in for you there s no way you re going to be able to run this demo Tough luck! History =========== Okay well the thing was coded badly -- I admit that It s not really the code but the compiler and the MOD player that make it horrible It was done using Turbo C++ and a really crappy MOD library all for real mode I wanted to rewrite it for Watcom C++ but there s so many things I d have to redo that it wouldn t be worth it This thing was finished in June and wasn t released until September because of a bunch of weird stuff It would ve come out in the July pack but that wasn t released I held out in August because I wanted to re-code it in Watcom C++ to make it faster but didn t Now here it is finally ENJOY! - Epitaph (Dark Twisted Fishies)
