1. Download Notes:
BASEUPGR.ZIP - Contains common data for all render versions
ZAR_GL.ZIP - OpenGL render for GL compatible hardware
accelerators (Windows 95/NT) (3Dfx, etc.)
ZAR_WIN.ZIP - Software render (MMX/PII and Non-MMX) for
Windows 95/NT, DirectX 3.0 or later
ZAR_D3D.ZIP - Direct3D render for DirectX5 (3Dfx, etc.)
2. How To Run:
2.1. Unzip BASEUPGR.ZIP to a directory (folder) which contains
installed Z.A.R. NETWORK DEMO VERSION (V1.02).
Run Patch3D.EXE (You need to have at least 8 MB free hard disk
space). Then unzip several render specific zips (ZAR_GL.ZIP,
ZAR_WIN.ZIP, ZAR_D3D.ZIP).
2.2. DIRECT3D VERSION - only for DirectX5 or later!
This version may be used with various high performance
3D accelerators with more than 1MB texture memory.
But we've test it only on 3Dfx Voodoo1 and Voodoo2
ATI Rage Pro, I740 chipset based cards.
The ZAR_D3D.ZIP file contains two executables.
You should run ZAR_D3D.EXE instead of ZAR_D3DD.EXE
ZAR_D3DD.EXE - is a debug version (it writes log file).
If you notice great problems (crashes/distortions/errors)
with graphics. Please send us brief description of your
problems by e-mail (describe your configuration Software/
Hardware in details). Or run ZAR_D3DD.EXE to record a log file
and send it to us (we prefer ZIP attachment < 1MB).
2.3. OPENGL VERSION - runs on 3d hardware accelerators with full
featured OpenGl drivers (GL - mini ports can cause crash).
You can run ZAR_GL.EXE on Voodoo1 or Voodoo1 based card with
3Dfx OpenGL driver (Alpha version) available at:
http://www.3dfx.com/software/3dfxgl.exe
ftp://ftp.op3dfx.com/pub/3dfx_drivers/3dfx/opengl/3dfxgl.exe
