Release Version: v0.91 beta

About this release:

- 3D Arcade version 0.91 or greater is needed for this arcade to display properly


Warning:

This arcade is still very unoptimised so you need a powerful system to get good framerates. Much more optimised versions will follow. Also because of the amount of textures and the size of them (lots are bigger then 256x256) in the default setup 128mb of vram is probably needed. To reduce the amount of videoram nescessary for reduced loading times and better framerates VSL_lobbyposters.W3D, VSL_lis_posters.W3D and VSL_1stflposters.W3D fpsxtramodels have been commented out in the arcade cfg. Only uncomment them with very fast machines because they are really very big. ()p( On my 1.1 athlon with a geforce 4 ti4200 128mb vram this was really nescessary to get acceptable framerates. Lowering the yon in the camera settings in the arcade cfg to 2000 will also help a lot.)


Installation Instructions:

How to add the vslounge arcade to the demos section in the default skin:

-Unzip the vslounge zip in the fe folder keeping the folder structure. Now we have to add the gamelist for the vslounge arcade to the arcade demos selectionset.

-Select the listmanager from the main configuration menu. Click on the arcade demos entry in the selsets field and select "edit..." from the popup. Click anywhere in the field with gamelists and select "add a new gamelistpair" from the popup. In the dialog select the vslounge gamelist, "vslounge.atf". Give it a short name and a descriptive name and select cancel when asked for a w3d to show in the ssmenu.

-Now we have to associate the gamelist with the vslounge arcade cfg file so the fe shows the vslounge arcade when this gamelist is selected. Click on the newly added vslounge gamelist entry and select "edit left gamelist". Click in the arcade field and select "select a new gl arcade" from the popup. In the dialog select the vslounge arcade cfg, "voodooscience_lounge.cfg". 

-Now we can optionally, for convenience, associate the gamelist with the skin cfg file that is setup to always go directly to the fpsarcade menutype. Click on the newly added vslounge gamelist entry and select edit left gamelist. Click in the skinset field and select "select a new skin" from the popup. In the dialog select the skin cfg, "3darcade_ast_hor_returntofpsarcade_gl.cfg".

-Select in the lower part of the screen "close and save", done!

-Problems? mail me, pm me or post on the 3darcade forum :)
