Installation is best handled by using the "Installer" program from Commodore, which should have been provided with your original system disks. It is also available from Aminet as: util/misc/Installer-43_3.lha (NB: the version number might have changed!) After installation is complete, you may delete the directory produced by extracting this archive ("GDTrainer"). FROM WORKBENCH: --------------- Extract all files in the archive to your system. They will be extracted to a drawer called "GDTrainer" Open the newly created "GDTrainer" drawer and double click on the "Install_GDTrainer" icon found there. Follow the instructions given to you by the Installer program: - all trainer and trainer-GUI related choices are *default* values only and may be changed after installation by editing the icon tooltypes of the "GDTrainer" program or using the trainer GUI. - when asked to select a directory to install GDTrainer in you should select the directory that you have Gloom Deluxe installed in. FROM CLI/SHELL: --------------- Extract all files in the archive to your system. They will be extracted to a directory called "GDTrainer" CD to the "GDTrainer" directory created when you extracted the acrhive. Type "Installer Install_GDTrainer" and press RETURN. Follow the instructions given to you by the Installer program: - when asked to select a "User Level" you *must* choose "Expert". - all trainer and trainer-GUI related choices are *default* values only and may be changed after installation by editing the icon tooltypes of the "GDTrainer" program or using the trainer GUI. - when asked to select a directory to install GDTrainer in you should select the directory that you have Gloom Deluxe installed in. CONFIGURING THE TRAINER The GDTrainer program icon has a number of tooltypes which may be modified at any time to change the way in which it operates: "NOGUI" ------- Specify this tooltype to disable the trainer GUI. If the GUI is disabled then the game will run with the default options specified in the other tooltypes. If the NOGUI tooltype is not present then the trainer GUI will appear. "INF_LIVES" "INF_BIGGUN" "INF_INVIS" "INF_THERMO" "INF_BOUNCY" ------------ Specify any combination of these tooltypes to set the default state of the corresponding trainer. For example, if you specify the "INF_LIVES" and "INF_BIGGUN" tooltypes then the infinite lives and maximum gun power trainers will default to being active. If any of the above tooltypes are not present, then the corresponding trainer will default to being inactive. USING THE TRAINER From Workbench, open the drawer containing your Gloom game. There will be a new icon there entitled "GDTrainer". Double-click on this icon to start the trainer program. From the CLI/Shell, CD to the directory where you have Gloom installed and type "GDTrainer". IF YOU OPTED TO USE THE TRAINER MENU ------------------------------------ Read this if you did not specify "NOGUI" in the icon tooltypes. The trainer window will open allowing you to select the trainers you wish to use while playing the game. Initially all trainers are set to the default values specified in the program tooltypes. To activate a trainer, e.g.: Infinite lives, you must click on the appropriate gadget. A checkmark (tick) will appear in the box beside any activated trainer; if the box is empty then the trainer is inactive. When you have selected the trainers you want, click the "Play" gadget in the lower left of the window. The game will now load and run if possible. If you started Gloom by mistake, or have changed your mind and do not want to play the game right now then click the "Cancel" gadget in the lower right of the window.. IF YOU OPTED TO DISABLE THE TRAINER MENU -------------------------------------- Read this if you did specify "NOGUI" in the icon tooltypes. The game will load and run if possible. No trainer window will appear. Active trainers will be determined from the default values as specified by the other tooltypes of the GDTrainer program. TESTING INFORMATION Created on A1200/68030+68882-40Mhz/8Mb/KS39.106, but should run on any Amiga with enough RAM that the original Gloom would run on.
