================================================================ Among the shadows: FORTRESS QUADRIGON ================================================================ Imperial threat, although heavily hindered through the Dark Trooper project termination, continues. This time, the Rebel Intelligence has identified a double spy, whose existence is a serious danger to the Alliance. Once again, the Rebel Command decides to hire Kyle Katarn, whose mission will be to stop the spy's activity permanently... 1. INSTALLATION Simply Unzip FORTQUAD.GOB, FORTQUAD.LFD and FORTQUAD.BAT to your Dark Forces folder. To play, start the file FORTQUAD.BAT. To deinstall this addon mission, delete those three files from the directory. 2. LEVEL If the background digital music during gameplay often stops, please run the sound setup and adjust the number of voices to 8. This music is not affected by the music volume setting in the control menu. Besides some rare and very hardly noticeable HOMs, the level seems to be bug-free, although some of the beta-testers reported seldom crashing. If it occurs to you or you notice any other bug, please contact me. Fortress Quadrigon supports the difficulty settings. Easy is very easy and medium will be also no sweat for the experienced players. Generally, the level is intended to be played on hard difficulty. The level features a new briefing, new textcrawl, and several new FME, BM and VOC files. If you have any question, comment or need a hint, please contact me on the address written below. 3.
