Welcome to the second edition of Twilight. As you can see, we successfully made it past the first issue, and here we are again trying to bring you the same quality we brought you with the Premier Issue. So what's new this time? First of all, we changed the TL.BAT to a fancier TL.EXE! Furthermore, the menu-system (the Twilight Installer) has been greatly improved; But for more details on both you should read the appropriate section. What hasn't changed is the quality: We still try to bring you only the best wares, fully tested and working, and not just a bunch of ZIP-files which unpack to ARJ-files, which unpack to an installation-version which finally reincarnates as a game. We already went through all the hassle, you can just install and off you go... We create this CD with the intention to make it the ONLY CD you'll need to buy. We could dump all files in one directory, include NO menu-system, and sell it without even a front cover. We decided to put a lot of time in it (and believe us -- it's a LOT of time!) to give you a product which will satisfy you for the full one hundred percent. ─┼─────────────── │ [2] THE WARES As stated above, we try to bring you the best, easiest to install wares. From the Twilight Installer you're only a keypress away from playing a game, or installing a program. Most of the games are ZIPped and can be easily uncompressed. There's always been (and probably always will be!) a debate going on whether games should be ZIPped or not. We decided to do both! Most games are ZIPped, but some huge ones are left on the CD uncompressed, which saves a lot of harddisk-space. Our philisophy is to put NO betas on Twilight. However, sometimes we DO decide to put one on the CD. When do we do this? ■ The program should have an extreme appeal to a lot of people, i.e. people are DYING to get a glimpse of it; ■ It's stable; ■ The full version won't be out for a long time. ─┼──────────────────────────── │ [3] THE \VARIOUS-DIRECTORY When compiling this CD, we came across a lot of files which were not suitable for inclusion in the main list. However, we figured that these files might be of interest to many people since these usually include trainers, cracks, solves and docs. We selected the most interesting files and put them together in the \VARIOUS-directory of the CD. Please note though, that we did NOT check any of these files! A list of all files in the \VARIOUS-directory with a short description can be found in the file VARIOUS.LST, also in the \VARIOUS-directory. You can also view this file from the menu by selecting "View Various List". ─┼──────────────────────────── │ [4] THE TWILIGHT INSTALLER First of all: We're sorry to say that this version of the Twilight Installer has been found NOT to be working under Windows. The Twilight Installer (the menu) has been greatly enhanced this time. In fact, it was completely rewritten! So what's new? ■ Online Help-Service; ■ Multi-CD Support: One Installer, multiple releases; ■ Tagging of Programs for batch-unpacking; ■ CD-Changer Support. Since the Installer is extremely easy to use, no help is required; However, we still decided to include it, but only for a couple of topics. You can find topics like keys to use, multi-CD support and things like that. Multi-CD Support allows you to browse through the lists of all releases of Twilight, and when you've made a choice the Installer prompts you to insert the selected release and off you go! You can select another release by pushing the appropriate release-number, i.e. 2. You can now use Insert to tag a couple of programs, and then hit Enter to unpack them all! Note: Only programs that have to be unZIPped can be tagged. If you've got a CD-changer or more than one CD-player, you can insert a couple of releases of Twilight; When you now select a program, the Installer will automatically figure out in what CD-ROM drive it is! To disable CD-Changer Support, start the menu with /C on the command-line. ─┼──────────────────────────── │ [5] THE TWILIGHT INSTALLER For fast and easy operation, it's best to put the Installer's files on your harddisk. To do this, we included a small installation-program. Just go to the \MENU-directory and type INSTALL. Since the files are very small, this process will only take a few seconds. To make sure the Installer is always able to find the required files, you can set an Environment String called Twilight specifying the directory. So if you installed the files to e.g. C:\TWILIGHT, you should add a line like this to your AUTOEXEC.BAT: SET TWILIGHT=C:\TWILIGHT ─┼──────────────────────────────── │ [6] NOT ENOUGH FREE DISKSPACE? If you push Enter to install a program, the Installer will automatically check if there's enough free diskspace on the selected harddisk. Checking will ONLY be performed if the game has to be unZIPped; Programs that have to be installed using their custom installation-program quite often offer a variety of different installation-options and perform free-space-checking themselves. If there's not enough free diskspace to unZIP the program, unZIPping will be aborted. However, since the amount of diskspace stated as required is an estimate which is correct for most machines, you might have enough free diskspace while the Installer keeps saying you don't. This problem is caused by different block-sizes. To override the Installer's free- diskspace-checking, push Control-Enter instead of Enter. ─┼──────────────────────────────────────── │ [7] TL.EXE: TWILIGHT EASY INSTALLATION On Twilight Release 1, we included a batchfile called TL.BAT with every game that had to be unzipped. It enabled you to select common operations such as Run Game or Setup Game to be performed by pressing a single key, instead of having to scan directories for the executables. This time we replaced the TL.BAT with TL.EXE, which allows you to select these operations from a menu with the cursorkeys. Note that we included a short doc-file with most programs, so make sure you select "Read Documentation" from the menu. It might contain important information required to run a program! ─┼───────────────────────────────────── │ [8] SOFTWARE TESTING/VIRUS CHECKING We tested ALL programs on a couple of different systems with totally different configurations (CPU, Memory, Network, Harddisk, OS, etc.). We have found all programs to work perfectly, but it is possible that you run into trouble. If you do, please read the Troubleshooting-section later on. We have performed virus-checking with the latest versions of: ■ Thunderbyte Anti-Virus (TBAV); ■ McAfee Scan; ■ F-Prot; ■ Dr Solomon's Toolkit. ─┼───────────────────── │ [9] GOT A PROBLEM?! This section is intended as a trouble-shooting guide; It tries to give you some advice if you cannot get a program to work. ■ Trying to run a program which requires 8 MB of memory when you've only got 4 doesn't make sense. ■ If you're low on diskspace, try removing some files. Some programs (especially under Windows!) require some free diskspace to fiddle around with. ■ Try increasing the FILES= statement in your CONFIG.SYS. ■ Remove SMARTDrive. Please! :) ■ If you're using Windows, put the Windows-directory in your path. ■ Try using many different startup-files! Here are some suggestions: ■ Change memory-managers. Change QEMM to EMM386 and vice versa. ■ Use only HIMEM.SYS. ■ Try using NO startup-files at all (clean boot). To do this, push left-shift at bootup. ■ Remove all TSRs from your startup-files (or at least the ones you don't really need). Quite often they take up a big chunk of vital memory, or they cause a conflict. ■ If a network is not required, disable it. ■ Remember to setup your soundcard properly! If you get it wrong, it might just crash your machine. Many sound-setup programs offer some sort of auto-detection; However, if this process crashes your machine you have to set the parameters manually. ■ If the program doesn't work under Windows, you're in for a heck of a time! ;) Some causes of problems are: ■ Device conflicts; ■ Low on memory (try increasing the swapfile-size); ■ Missing DLLs or incomplete installations. Also try tuning your .INI-files if you're using Win3.X. ─┼─────────────────────── │ [10] THANKS N' GREETS Once again, we thank all our friends and other people we know. We also thank you, our customers, for supporting us by buying this CD (and Release 1 as well... :-) A note to the guy who complained about the "missing line" (you know who you are!): Happy now? :-) When you read this, we're already working on the next release. So we hope to see you soon again... Until then: Enjoy! -Signed: The Twilight Crew ########################################################################[DND]# EOF
