Retrieving and Installing SimCity
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Retrieve the following files:
|
|
SimCity.README
|
|
SimCity.tar.Z
|
|
HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
|
|
|
|
Read the README file and make sure you have the appropriate configuration
|
|
to run SimCity and HyperLook. You will need 2,600 Kbytes of disk space
|
|
for SimCity and 1,500 Kbytes for HyperLook, for a total of 4,100 Kbytes.
|
|
You must also have 3,200 Kbytes of disk space on /tmp (or some other
|
|
local file system) on the machine that runs SimCity, for shared memory.
|
|
|
|
% df
|
|
% more SimCity.README
|
|
|
|
Uncompress and untar the two .tar.Z files, and you'll have the directories
|
|
"SimCity" and "HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z".
|
|
|
|
% uncompress SimCity.tar.Z
|
|
% uncompress HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
|
|
% tar xfv SimCity.tar
|
|
% tar xfv HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar
|
|
|
|
Go into the SimCity directory, and run the "InstallSimCity" shell script.
|
|
A typical installation is shown, where <return> means pressing the
|
|
"Return" key to accept the default. If the default is not acceptable,
|
|
then enter the full path name of the appropriate directory (or the
|
|
host name of the license server).
|
|
|
|
% cd SimCity
|
|
% InstallSimCity
|
|
SimCity Installation:
|
|
|
|
Please enter the name of the top level SimCity directory,
|
|
or press return to accept the default of:
|
|
/g/demo/SimCity
|
|
Directory: <return>
|
|
|
|
Please enter the name of the top level HyperLook directory,
|
|
or press return to accept the default of:
|
|
/g/demo/HyperLook1.5-runtime
|
|
Directory: <return>
|
|
|
|
Please enter the name of the SimCity license key directory,
|
|
or press return to accept the default of:
|
|
/g/demo/SimCity/Resources/Keys
|
|
Directory: <return>
|
|
|
|
Please enter the name of a local directory that SimCity can use
|
|
to store its shared memory images. It must have plenty of space.
|
|
Press return to accept the default of:
|
|
/tmp
|
|
Local Directory: <return>
|
|
|
|
Please enter the host name of the SimCity license server,
|
|
or press return to accept the default of:
|
|
delta9
|
|
Host Name: <return>
|
|
|
|
Configuring shell scripts:
|
|
GetKey
|
|
SimCity
|
|
SimCity.GenerateCity
|
|
SimCity.NewCity
|
|
Scenario.Bern
|
|

|
Scenario.Hamburg
|
|
|
|
All done. Now you can play SimCity!
|
|
If you don't have a key, SimCity will run in demo mode.
|
|
Run the 'GetKey' script or select 'Get Key...' from
|
|
SimCity's 'File' menu to get a key.
|
|
|
|
Now that you have installed SimCity, you can run the "GetKey" shell
|
|
script to get a license key from DUX software, or run "SimCity" in
|
|
demo mode without getting a key. In demo mode, your city will melt
|
|
after 5 minutes, or when you try to save it to disk, so buy a license,
|
|
it's cheap! When you buy a license, DUX will ship you the latest
|
|
version of the software, a nice 100 page manual with lots of nifty
|
|
illustrations, and a handy reference card. And when you're ordering,
|
|
don't forget to ask how to embezzle funds!

Got a license!
|
|
|
|
Now you're playing SimCity! An introduction window will pop up while
|
|
the rest of the system loads. Then the startup screen will appear.
|
|
Point the cursor at the controls and pictures and press the "Help" key
|
|
(usually at the lower left corner of the keyboard) to learn how to use
|
|
the user interface!
|
|
|
|
To get the most out of the game:
|
|
|
|
1. Get a license key!
|
|
It's cheap, and you'll get a manual with lots more tips!
|
|
2. Save your city often.
|
|
You have to have a key to do that, though!
|
|
3. Print out your city periodically. But don't kill too many trees.
|
|
You can even edit the city map images in the HyperLook drawing editor,
|
|
annotate them, print them out, and save them as drawing or EPS files.
|
|
4. Don't forget to eat.
|
|
Keep in mind the closing times of local restaurants, or keep lots
|
|
of munchies on hand.
|
|
5. Have fun!
|
|
If things are going bad, remember not to take it too seriously,
|
|
it's only a simulation!
