.. * INSTALLING BRIXOR * ===================== The demo-version of BRIXOR is packed in to a single ZIP-file. It includes files: self-extracting pack BRIXOR_D.EXE and file_id.diz, file_id.fin, readme.txt and vendor.txt. About demo ---------- Demoversion of Brixor includes 15 levels. It can't use original full game levels or levels maded with the level-editor. Level-editor included only with the full version. There is no any other limits in demo. Brixor-demo is technically just like the full game, so if it can't get anyway work, then maybe the full game do not work neither. In this case, i don't think i can help. Share Brixor demo freely and copy it to your friends but do NOT make any changes on it or anyway modify it. (vendor.txt) Installing demo in Windows95 - 98SE ----------------------------------- - Create a new folder(i.e. C:\BRIXOR_D) or whatever name you would like. - Copy/move BRIXOR.ZIP file in that folder. Usually downloaded files are saved somewhere, like in 'my files' or 'downloaded files' -folder. - Unzip BRIXOR.ZIP (You need WinZip or similar). Of course, with WinZip you can create folder as well as extract files. - Run BRIXOR_D.EXE which now unpack all game-files and creates sub-folders into same folder where it started from. - After complete, you can close the window. - Windows users should disable screensaver and exit game via exit from main menu (Please do not use alt+esc). If alt+esc pressed, mouse or Windows some reason hang up when continue playing. - If you create shortcut icon to desktop, deselect screensaver and alt+[] ctrl+[] keys from preferences. Installing demo in Windows3.x ----------------------------- Recommended play this game in DOS. Installing demo in DOS ---------------------- You may need dos mouse-driver to be installed. To do so, find mouse -drivers somewhere. Good place start searching is /DOS -directory, or try some search engines in internet. Follow instructions that came with driver to install it. !Note;this may vary. I only have one computer with Win98SE(finnish):) Now to the game installation: - Create directory where you want (i.e. C:\>MD BRIXOR_D C: is hard drive, BRIXOR_D recommended pathname). - Copy BRIXOR.ZIP in to that new directory (C:\COPY C:\DOWNLOADS\BRIXOR.ZIP C:\BRIXOR_D If C:\DOWNLOADS is directory where you have downloaded the file) - You also need PKUNZIP.EXE -program to unzip brixor.zip -file. There are a million places where find it in internet. I guess :) - Follow the instructions came with the pkunzip to use it. - When PKUNZIP.EXE properly installed or copied in same dir with Brixor, change to the Brixor's dir; (C:\>CD BRIXOR_D). - Unzip files by typing PKUNZIP BRIXOR.ZIP (C:\BRIXOR_D\PKUNZIP BRIXOR.ZIP) - run BRIXOR_D.EXE which now unpack all files and creates sub-dirs into same directory where it started from. - When/if requested permission to create new dirs, answer (Y)yes. Installing demo in other OS's (Linux etc.) ------------------------------------------ I recommend to try apply some instructions from above :). Installing full registered version ---------------------------------- The full-version of the game delivered in disks, and 1. disk includes INSTALL.EXE program. *Installer uses the standard US keyboard mapping. Other users may find this is problem if they try use some special characters. *Installer shows some online-help during the installation. 1. Start install.exe from disk 1. (it's DOS -program) 2. First select target drive+path WHERE you want to the new program dir/folder create. Use BROWSE-button. Use the mouse to specify correct drive and path. Example C:\GAMES or just C:\. New dir/folder will created under this path. Note, drive&directory must exist. 3. When ready, select -OK-. This closes file-dialog window. 4. Check if the path is correct and select -OK-, otherwise go back to point 2. 5. specify new dir/foldername when requested. (Default BRIXOR) You can use recommended name or write whatever you like. 6. Press -OK- to confirm. 7. After that you will be prompted is all -OK- to start install. If the directory is correct press -OK-, else press -BACK- button and you go back to point 2. - Now installer creates new directory/folder and starts to copy needed files in to it. - When disk 2/2 is requested, change disk 2 in drive and press a key - After all files copied, install exits to OS, unpack all files and delete tmp -files from new directory. - Now you can remove disk from drive. * If needed, you can move directory/folder after install is complete. Be sure to keep it sub-dirs in their original places. * Run Brixor.exe to start play and map.exe to design your own levels. WinZip® Copyright © 1991-2000 by Nico Mak Computing, Inc.
