Release version: 0.3.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About:
------
REminiscence is a re-implementation of the engine used in the game Flashback
made by Delphine Software and released in 1992. More informations about the
game can be found at [1], [2] and [3].
Compiling:
----------
Update the defines in the Makefile if needed. The SDL, zlib and modplug
libraries are required.
Data Files:
-----------
You will need the original files of the PC (DOS or CD) or Amiga release.
To hear background music during polygonal cutscenes with the PC version,
you'll need to copy the .mod files of the Amiga version :
mod.flashback-ascenseur
mod.flashback-ceinturea
mod.flashback-chute
mod.flashback-desintegr
mod.flashback-donneobjt
mod.flashback-fin
mod.flashback-fin2
mod.flashback-game_over
mod.flashback-holocube
mod.flashback-introb
mod.flashback-jungle
mod.flashback-logo
mod.flashback-memoire
mod.flashback-missionca
mod.flashback-options1
mod.flashback-options2
mod.flashback-reunion
mod.flashback-taxi
mod.flashback-teleport2
mod.flashback-teleporta
mod.flashback-voyage
To hear voice during in-game dialogues, you'll need to copy the 'VOICE.VCE'
file from the SegaCD version to the DATA directory.
Running:
--------
By default, the engine will try to load the game data files from the 'DATA'
directory (as the original game did). The savestates are saved in the current
directory. These paths can be changed using command line switches :
Usage: rs [OPTIONS]...
--datapath=PATH Path to data files (default 'DATA')
--savepath=PATH Path to save files (default '.')
--levelnum=NUM Level to start from (default '0')
--fullscreen Fullscreen display
--scaler=INDEX Graphics scaler
--language=LANG Language (fr,en,de,sp,it)
In-game hotkeys :
Arrow Keys move Conrad
Enter use the current inventory object
Shift talk / use / run / shoot
Escape display the options
Backspace display the inventory
Alt Enter toggle windowed/fullscreen mode
Alt + and - change video scaler
Alt S write screenshot as .bmp
Ctrl S save game state
Ctrl L load game state
Ctrl + and - change game state slot
Debug hotkeys :
Ctrl F toggle fast mode
Ctrl I Conrad 'infinite' life
Ctrl B toggle display of updated dirty blocks
Ctrl M mirror mode (right - left swapped)
