Installation *************** Required configuration : 386 DX / 8 Mb RAM (7024 Kb EMS/XMS) Recommanded configuration : 486 DX4 / 16 Mb RAM / fast graphic card 1 - Extract the files to your Dark Forces directory. 2 - If you want to start the level from DOS then go to your Dark Forces directory and type "arch2" at DOS prompt. If you want to start it from Windows, you may use the ARCHICON.DLL icon if you want (the DLL file is not required to play and simply gives you the icon). 3 - In all cases, please use the ARCH2.BAT file to start the game, or you will lose the customized textcrawl and briefing. The BAT file does everything required to play the level. 4 - MAC users : place the ARCHANG2.LFD file in your DARK/LFD/ directory and rename it DFBRIEF.LFD. ________________________________________________________________ 3. Known bugs ************* - Very rare occurences of HOM and clipping. - Sometimes, when there is a lot of action in a sector, the game engine forgets to play ambience sound in loop mode. This cannot be fixed. - Do NEVER stay in a doortrack when a HORIZONTAL door shuts ! You'd be stuck in there and would have to exit and restart the level. This happens in the original game as well and cannot be fixed. - Using the LAPOGO, LABUG or LAUNLOCK cheatcodes with some moving sectors may crash the graphic display or result in malfunctioning INF sequences, therefore forcing you to exit and restart the level. Well, I really wonder if this can be described as a bug because you are not supposed to use cheatcodes, after all ! ________________________________________________________________ 4. Hints ******** - Watch your steps, READ what you see, think twice. - The level can only be played in EASY mode. Well, the level is not that easy. It features a few traps and puzzles. There aren't so many medkits or shields to find, some of them being stored in secret rooms. ________________________________________________________________ 5.
