Installing the TC into a directory with lots of b!tch!n user stuff will make the TC run bad or even don't run. Then unzip the SUBURBS.ZIP to the fresh Duke directory you have just created. 2.- SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS -Hardware Requirements: For the VGA modes: A Pentium P133 with 24 Megabytes of RAM. For the SVGA modes: A Pentium P200 with 32 Megabytes of RAM. Kick-ass system: A Pentium II P300 with 64 Megabytes of RAM, good sound card with ear-bleeding speakers, 19 inch monitor, and a fast hard drive. -Software Requirements: Duke Nukem 3D Atomic v1.5 and Enhanced Duke Nukem 3D v2.0 4.- GAMEPLAY Suburbs TC adds some features that weren't in the original Duke Nukem 3D. To learn how to make use of them, read this paragraph. -Talking with people: To talk with a person, stay in front of it and press the USE key. Take note of what most people will say, it is often very important. -Holstering your weapon: Most people will fuck ya up if they see you with your weapon. To holster your weapon, DO NOT press the HOLSTER key. Use the key to select weapon #1 (knife) instead. -Buying stuff: To buy things, first enter a shop :-). Stand in front of the shoopkeeper and press the DUCK+USE keys to cycle through all the items that the current shopkeeper can sell to you. When the thing you want to buy is being displayed, just press the USE key. If you have enough money, you'll buy the displayed item. -Getting health from cola cans: You will find cola machines in some of the levels of the game. If you shoot at them, they will explode (because of the gas pressure in the cans), and lots of cans will fly over your head. If you duck and hit the USE key in front of a can, you will drink from it, gainig 4 health points inmediately. You should shoot at the machines from a distance if you don't want to die young... -Climbing ladders: To climb a ladder, stay in front of it, then press and hold the USE key until you climb all the ladder. To descend a ladder, press and hold the CROUCH key. Note that you can not use any weapons while climbing ladders, and you cannot climb or descend them with your back. -Examinating corpses: Some enemies will drop their weapons when killed, but if you register their corpses after they're dead, you can get their money. Use it to buy things at the shops. You may also find a key or an important item in their clothes, so examine every corpse quickly. To register a corpse, duck in front of it and press the USE key. -Making your gang partners follow you: In the first level of this demo, there are some fellows that can follow you and kill some enemies for you. They are in the warehouse which Pancho is taking care of. When you are near them, hit the USE key and they will follow you. If you want them to stop where they are, just press the USE key in front of them again. 4.1- ENEMIES The enemies you will find in Suburbs TC are really bad-asses. Though you can kill them with a few shots, they can do the same with you. So you'll have to be more intelligent than them. Use the environment to protect yourself, make traps with your grenades... use your noggin or you will die in a few seconds. -GANG MEMBERS: They are not the hardest enemies on the game, but they use to attack in groups. If they catch you, they won't let you get out alive. They can use a whole plethora of weapons to fry yer ass. -POLICEMEN: The standard Government forces, used to retain people on the suburbs. Their shotgun can kill you with only one shot if you get too close, so better kill them from a distance. -MARINES: The elite Government forces. If a person from the suburbs gets close to them, he will die instantly. They are equipped with heavy, ripper machine guns. Be careful if you get close to them - they don't care if they finish with their own lives trying to kill you. You'll se what I mean once you get close to one. If you don't use strategies to kill them, you'll have nothing to do. -SNIPERS: If you are getting shoot at and you don't know who is shooting at you, it is sure a sniper. They wear special goggles to see trough a person's clothes, so if you are using a costume or something similar, they will know who you are and will start shooting at you with their lethal silenced pistol. (Note: Throwing a grenade into a sniper's hole and seeing the blood and guts flying is one of my favorite parts of the game.) 5.- IMPROVING PERFORMANCE If you find that the game is running too slow on your system, be sure to do the following things before you totally erase the TC: -Choose a lower video resolution such as 320x200 or 320x400 (if available) -Turn off shadows in the Options Menu -Decrease the sound quality and the number of channels in the SETUP program -Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode -If your system is slow, really slow... what are you doing reading this? :-) 6.- COPYRIGHT STUFF This TC has been made by Criminal Productions. This means that you can't make your own TCs based in this one. You may not copy any of the graphics made by me or the team. You can copy the ripped graphics to use them in your TCs, as long as those files were not made by me. You may not copy the CON programming to use it in your own TCs. And you can't use the TC levels as a base to build new ones. If you do so, remember: I know who are you. I know where you live. Watch your back. And one day you may find your home burning. Don't say I didn't warn you. 7.- CONTACT Roberto Diaz Moratilla (AKA TCMasteR) Email adress: tcmaster2000@mixmail.com Web Site: http://suburbs.port5.com ICQ UIN: 65269677 -EOF-
