This is a file which should be in your final game directory. It is normally created by GCSINSTALL automatically. However, if you don't have GCSINSTALL, you may want to make a GCSINST.DAT file yourself. This matters because the final game's registry key depends on the game name and your game company name which is stored in this file. wld_text.zip : This is a program which can spit the contents of a level editor .WLD file to standard output as text. The C source is included so you can see the format of the .WLD file. ai_src.zip : This is the FORTH source code to the game engine AI for the enemies. This will be useful only to those who can program in the FORTH language.             ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday, September 14, 1999             ------------------------------------------------------------------ The new version of Blast 3Dis now on the Win 95 games page.   I've add 3 new files on the GCStools page, a model viewer, a model animator and a pattern maker.   Aaron Gum sent in a PhotoShop Color table and a Microsoft PAL file for GCS image creation.
