Strife AGA - Version 1.0.0



Overview:

Strife is a first-person shooter video game developed by Rogue Entertainment and published by Velocity, 
based on the Doom engine (id Tech 1) from id Software. Strife added some role-playing game elements and allowed 
players to talk to other characters in the game's world. Along with Pathways into Darkness, Ultima Underworld and 
System Shock, it is considered one of the first FPS-RPG games.

This port was made possible by using the Strife Branch of Chocolate-Doom Version 1.6




Minimum Requirements:

- Amiga 1200 (AGA) 
- OS3.1
- 68040/40mhz CPU (note the game will run on an 020/030 at low framerates)
- At least 16Meg of FAST memory
- 60Meg HDD space


Recommended Requirements for Optimal Performance:

- Amiga A1200/A4000 with fast HDD transfer rates
- OS3.9 with Boing Bag 2 or higher installed
- 68060/50Mhz or higher
- 32Meg FAST Memory or higher




Usage:

1) You will need a copy of the commerical game. Place the following files in your Strife folder :
	STRIFE1.WAD
	VOICES.WAD
2) Double click on the Strife.exe icon
2) Profit


You can also run the game via command line by calling 'strife.exe' from the CLI - for example:

	strife.exe -timedemo demo





Other useful command line flags:

-ntsc will switch to a NTSC monitor ID (the default is PAL)
-nosound will start the game without sfx/music and voice speech
-novoice will start the game without speech and will enable subtitles in the game

F8 will also toggle subtitles while in game.





Notes and Bugs:

* If you want to change the default key config, the easist way is to run SETUP.EXE from a Strife PC 
installation and set your keys. Then replace the STRIFE.CFG file in the.chocolate-doom folder.
* Playing the game to completion should be possible. I havent done so yet but i am a fair way into the game.
* ASM routines from DoomAttack/ADoom have been used in Strife AGA - credits go to the authors of those ports.
* Sound is using the doomsound.library - credit goes to Joe Fenton for such an awesome and easy to use library.
* Strife AGA uses Kaalms C2P routines. Credit goes to him for making this possible.
* Thanks to NovaCoder for sharing his graphics startup/shutdown code.
* There is no RTG support and probably wont ever be. Sorry.
* Networking code has been disabled.
* There is a small memory leak that causes the program to exit with a malloc() error after its looped 
through the attract mode 10-12 times. Investigating
* Music has not been included in this build.
* Framerates are generally good on an 060. Some of the outdoor areas the framerate will dip. 
* Per GPL - The source code has been provided and can be compiled via AmiDevCpp (the project file is included)
* This is my first Amiga port. Go easy on me :)
