Running Instructions

Under Windows : simply run CryptRL128.bat

If you do not use this .bat file please launch CryptRL from the command line as:

java -cp . -Xms128m -Xmx128m CryptRL

Editor instructions

The maps using the following coords are special cases

0,0,0
0,-2,0
0,0,-1

They are precreated maps. If you've modified them you may still rebuild them by pressing Shift+Alt+R ingame. (start a new game, press shift+alt+r then start a new game again) Note that your modifications on this maps would then be lost. (Please note that i something leave the rebuild function activated in some releases. In the cases any modifications on 0/0/0 , 0/-2/0 , or 0/0/1 maps would be cancelled at game startup)

Maps files are saved as .zip (and you must only load .zip maps) in the TERRAINSstockMonde folder.

Ambient Sounds : You can put any .wav (ACM only) file in the following folders =

\sons\ambiance\outdoorday

\sons\ambiance\outdoornight

\sons\ambiance\underground

If you download ambianceWavs.rar or ambianceWavs.zip, unpack it in the \sons\ambiance\ folder.
