Update

File: adupdate.exe 1.3 MB Self-Extracting ZIP file.

Description: This is the 1.120 update for Archimedean Dynasty.

Final changes and remarks for version 1.120:

  • A movie player has been added to the OPTIONS-INPUT menu. Here you can view video-clips from the game.
  • A new option has been added to the Vectorgraphic menu called Transparency, when this is on it will allow you to see through explosions and other environmental effects.
  • Added Z-Buffering which allows for more accurate targeting of gunturrets and other weapon systems on some of larger capital ships.

See the "README.TXT" in the AD directory on your hard drive for more information.

 

Installation:

Copy this file into your AD directory and type ADUPDATE to extract the files.

Ex.:
"Copy ADUPDATE.EXE C:\BLUEBYTE\AD" [ENTER].
"CD\BLUEBYTE\AD" [ENTER].
"ADUPDATE" [ENTER].

You should see a brief message asking you if you want to continue. Press "Y" for yes and the files will then be expanded.

The program should then be started using the AD2.EXE file instead of the old AD.EXE. If you have problems getting the AD2.EXE to work, then use AD.EXE to start the game.

The updated v1.120 may not run properly on some configurations, P75 or lower. Please use "AD.EXE" if the "AD2.EXE" does not run properly.
