Then the game buttons should work as expected. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Openglad ======== Openglad is a port of the open-sourced dos game known as Gladiator (http://fsgames.com/glad/). It is a top-view gauntlet style RPG that features fast paced multiplayer action, several different classes, and a scenario editor. Playing ======= Read the in-game help for help on how to play (press f1 in a level or read glad.hlp). [1] Keyboard Controls [1.a] Description Gladiator is designed to allow up to four players to use the keyboard at once (although we admit it would be rather cramped). Each player has a number of 'action' keys, such as movement or attacking, and also a set of preferences, which are reached from the 'options menu,' and control things such as game speed or viewport size. Important to remember are the 'ESC' key, which will abort your current mission and return you to the 'picker' screen, and the 'F1' key, which will bring up a brief help display during the game.

For example, if your special costs 100 magic points and you only have 50, pressing your special key won't have an effect. Similarly, if you are a first-level mage and don't have the 'warp-space' spell, you can't cycle through other specials because you don't have them. The 'shifter' key can be used in combination with others. In particular: * Shifter + Yell : Summon NPC's on your team to come fight with or protect you. * Shifter + Switch : Switch to next TYPE of team member; ie, jump to your first archer. * Shifter + Special : Invoke a related version of a special ability. For example, shifter+special when a Mage has the Teleport ability selected will attempt to place a 'marker' for future teleports. Note that not all specials have an alternate! [1.d] Options menu From the options menu you can control several aspects of the game. Some of these affect only you, while others change the game state for all players. While the options menu is open, gameplay pauses for all characters (and enemies!). * +/- : Make the game run slower or faster (for all) * [/] : Enlarge or shrink your viewscreen (player-specific) * </> : Brighten or darken the game screen (for all) * C : Toggle color-cycling on or off (for all) * F : Toggle the foes/allies display on or off (player-specific) * H : Cycle through hitpoint/spellpoint display modes (player-spec.) * K : Change the default keyboard mapping (player-specific) * R : Toggle radar display on or off (player-specific) * S : Toggle the score/exp display on or off (player-specific) * T : Bring up an overview of your team's status [2] Overview Gladiator is a gauntlet style, real-time arcade game where you (the red team) must set out to destroy your enemies (and pick up treasure!) in a variety of scenarios. You get to sharpen the skills of your team as you progress through the levels, and each character class (Fighter, Mage, etc.) has a number of special abilities which come into play as your character gains levels. |
