How do I get Nightlong to start?

[jonssonj]

Hello!

Now when I have everything working, I want to play nightlong. I have the 68k version of Nightlong, but it refuses to start.

There is three icons to choose from. There is version 1.2 and 1.1 and there is one version that can be run without a FPU.

If I start the one without FPU, my system crashes immediatly.

If I doubleclick the nightlong 1.1, Nothing happens.

If I doubleclick the nightlong 1.2, Nothing happens.

Is there someone else out there that have played nightlong with a voodoo and mediator? or does the game require cybergraphx and is unplayable on a mediator/voodoo setup?

Which version of the "rtg master package" is the latest?

Thanks again Thomas...

Ok, so now I have installed the rtg library package V42. When I run Nightlong now I get this message:

No appopriate screen modes available! Have you installed the RTG libraries in LIBS:rtg?

What is missing now? anybody knows?

/Jorgen

[jonssonj]

Ok.

Right now I have the following screenmodes:

320x240  8 bit
320x240 16 bit
320x240 24 bit
320x240 32 bit

640x480  8 bit
640x480 16 bit
640x480 24 bit
640x480 32 bit

800x600  8 bit
800x600 16 bit
800x600 24 bit
800x600 32 bit

1024x768  8 bit
1024x768 16 bit
1024x768 24 bit
1024x768 32 bit

I have created these screenmodes once and then these screenmodes have been stored on my emergency floppy and now when I reinstalled everything I never had to reinstall picasso96.

So you say I have to install picasso96 and recreate the screenmodes and the 15 bit variations will be created?

Hello again!

Ok, There is one Nightlong 68k 1.1 icon and one Nightlong 68k 1.2 icon. But I get the same error whichever I try to run. What can I do to make it work? can someone send me the latest update to jonssonj@internetsuger.com.

Thanks in advance!

Ok, I took your screenmode files and I have installed picasso96 so I could change the frequency but it still would'nt work. Then i reinstalled the RTGMaster library and then it worked a little better. BUT... *sigh* Now the game starts and I can hear the sound and I can see a very strange coloured game. All the colours are mixed up and the game is unplayable. What can this depend on? anyone? Should'nt there be some sort of preferences program for the RTGFMaster library? I can't seem to find any preferences for the RTGMaster...

Hello again!

Now finally, I got the game running. But it is a little slow because of the cd-access all the time. You mentioned above that I could copy three catalogs that existed on all the three cd:s to the harddrive. I have done that. Then you wrote that I should start the game and then make the Q assign. How do I do that? How can I reach a shell and write the assign commando when the game is running?

Best Regards to you all...

Hello!

A big thank you Thomas for all your help. Now Im up and running with Myst and Nightlong. Now I will try to get Quake II to work. I must say that the classic amiga platform is not for beginners...  :-) it has taken me several months now, to get where I am now.

First I had problems finding the hardware I wanted, and still I miss hardware that I can´t find anywhere, and then I had problems with getting the OS to work and then I have had big trouble to get MYST to work and now I had big troubles to get Nightlong to work...  *lol*

Well, Now I am ready to battle with quake. Any tips beforehand?

I don´t know! I don´t have the PPC executable. I would like to have it though.

How does it work? Do you only swap the executable file with the ppc version?

Where can I get hold of the PPC version?

Hello Bifford!

Of course I owe you a thank you also... :-)  Thanks!

Can someone send me the ppc executable?
