christmas update v2.0
-------------------------------------
here you are fixed "Christmas Chips" from Noiseless (release 2.0).
to make it working just replace old installation files
with new "nsl-xmas.exe", "nslintro.dll" and "hermes.dll" from this
archieve. enjoy!
what new in this version 1.1/a/2.0?
1) some bugfixes and patches added here and there
2) a bit better directx error handling
3) you can use "/nointro" switch in application commandline
to skip intro (it may sometimes help running the program,
due to *very strange* ddraw mode switching)
4) "better pixel-ratio"(640x480) mode for menu selector;
(ati mach users should be happy:)
5) 1.1a: new (bugfixed and more stable) "hermes.dll" version
6) 2.0: some bugfixes in 3dengine code
if you will still have troubles or get strange error messages while
running this, please give a shout to email below
(please include your hardware confinguration(cpu,gfxcard,soundcard,win version)
and *exactly* describe what happens);
_DON'T_ send me any bug reports if one of following happens:
1) you use OVERCLOCKED cpu (especially slot1 celerons family)
(note: sometimes it's better to switch L2 cache off
and try to run the program; effect not guaranted, but it may help.)
2) your gfx card is TWEAKED or OVERCLOCKED (hi riva-tnt/2's fans!)
if you use above tricks to gain better overall system performance,
do it at own risk and be prepared for strange problems during
using such a configuration.
thing we have forgotten in first "readme.txt" is a list
of active keys in the chipmodule selector;
here they are:
leftmouse,rightmouse,enter,space - menu select
mouse up/down, up/down arrow - menu move
left/right arrow - alter scroll speed
l - "longplay" mode on/off
esc,e,x - quit
and some "hidden" ones for debug/hidden features (happy looking for:))
