FANTASY QUAKE

RISE OF THE PHOENIX

Beta 1

8-14-97
----------------------------

Thanks for downloading FQ: Rotp.
We hope you'll enjoy playing it as much as we do making it.
And remember this is a beta, so there will be glitches. If you find something
that seems like a problem, first read the manual and search for answers. If
you still think you found a bug, please don't send mail, just post something
on the bug board on the site,
http://fantasy.stomped.com/bugboard.html

We need your input on gameplay too. Please don't post new ideas, or cool ideas,
or kick-ass ideas for the patch on the bugboard yet. We want to make the game
balanced with the feature already implemented. So, if you think some stuff 
is over-powered, or some character class is too weak, or some levels is too 
hard, post something about it.


PLAYING THE GAME:

well, if you're reading this, you have already unziped the files in your quake
directory.

Now to play the game, you should use this command line:

quake -winmem 12 -game fq +map fqrotpst

That should take care of everything and you should start at the right place.
Winmem 12 is the minimum required (meaning you need at least 16 megs on your
machine). If you have more memory, you can put winmem 16 if you feel like it.

Take some time to read the manual, before you play, at least the section on the
characters classes. You wouldn't want to miss the explanation about the use
of your powers... The manual can be found at:
