KNOWN ISSUES
==============
To better ensure a quality experience when playing Klingon Academy, please
ensure that all of your hardware's drivers are the latest RELEASE or RETAIL
versions. Use of BETA drivers may create problems. And, as always, ensure that
all your drivers are release versions and that you have read the HARDWARE ISSUES
section below before reporting a problem.
-----------------
HARDWARE ISSUES
-----------------
The Diamond Speedstar A70 card (SiS 6326 AGP chipset) on the system tested left
the Windows mouse cursor and hourglass in the middle of the screen when the game
was played in 640x480 resolution.
The Diamond Stealth II G460 card (Intel i740 chipset) on the system tested had
problems with polys dropping out of the ship models during combat.
On the Matrox G400, there is a minor graphics problem where the mouse cursor
appears as a black box during certain in-game dialog sequences. Also, there may
be some white dots that appear on the screen in the 3D game window. There is a
workaround. Install Tweakutil and uncheck "Use Hardware to Draw Color Mouse
Pointer".
Voodoo chipset cards occasionally get polygon flicker in the high detail
starfield.
The Creative Graphics Blaster Extreme card (Permedia 2 chipset) on the system
tested had severe rendering problems with Klingon Academy. There is no
currently known fix.
The Number 9 Revolution IV card (Number 9 T2R4 chipset) on the system tested had
an issue with graphics disappearing and reappearing depending upon which
direction the player's ship was turned. There is no currently known fix.
If you are experiencing massive graphical problems in Klingon Academy with the
latest release drivers for your ATI Rage 128 and Rage Pro 128 chipset 3D card,
there is a workaround. Go to ATI's website (http://www.ati.com) and download
the appropriate special purpose Rage 128 Video Display driver for your operating
system.
--------------
WINDOWS 2000
--------------
Klingon Academy does not officially support Windows 2000 as it is in actuality
the most recent release of the Windows NT Operating System. However, Klingon
Academy has been tested under Windows 2000 and runs fairly well under optimal
conditions but bugs specific to Windows 2000 have not been addressed nor is it
likely they will be addressed. The following are Windows 2000 issues that we
are aware of:
Occasionally some players may encounter an issue with the keyboard buffer
overflowing when issuing VOS commands. This appears to occur most frequently
under Windows 2000. You may work around this problem by hitting ALT+TAB to go
to the desktop and then hitting ALT+TAB again to go back into Klingon Academy.
This will clear the buffer overflow.
Aureal Vortex 2 sound cards have problems with volume control only for certain
sound effects under Windows 2000.
---------------------
INSTALLATION ISSUES
---------------------
We have discoveres an issue with the MPlayer install. If you have TCP/IP
enabled for your Ethernet card, but are connecting to the internet/MPlayer with
a dial-up connection, you will be prompted to connect to your ISP over and over
again. If you are being prompted to connect to your ISP multiple times during
the MPlayer portion of the install, cancel out and connect to the internet PRIOR
to installing the game. This way, the install will detect internet
connectivity, and will not even bother prompting you to dial up.
--------------------
MULTIPLAYER ISSUES
--------------------
An inability to host Internet games through MPlayer has been experienced if the
system attempting to host has a TCP/IP network card as well as a modem. There
is a workaround. You must disable TCP/IP through your Ethernet card.
To disable your TCP/IP through your Ethernet card: 1. Right click on Network
Neighborhood and go to Properties 2. Left click the protocol labeled "TCP/IP ->
[NETWORK ADAPTER MODEL]" so that it is highlighted 3. Left click the Remove
button. 4. When prompted, restart your machine. Note: Ethernet Cards may vary
from system to system.
After restarting your machine, your TCP/IP through your Ethernet card should no
longer be present in Network Neighborhood Properties. You should now be able to
host a game on MPlayer. You will note that when you click IP in the Klingon
Academy Multiplayer Net Lobby, only one IP address will be displayed. Prior to
removing TCP/IP, two IP addresses would have been displayed. WARNING: Do not
remove the protocol labeled "TCP/IP -> Dial-Up Adapter".
Joining games hosted by others is normal.
* Note: [NETWORK ADAPTER MODEL] is your specific model of Network Adapter, i.e.
3Com Fast EtherLink XL 10/100Mb TX Ethernet NIC (3C905B-TX).

MANUAL ERRATA AND ADDENDA
===========================
----------------------
UNDOCUMENTED OPTIONS
----------------------
OPTIONS - VIDEO - PARTICLE EMITTERS
This check box allows the user to turn on and off particle emitters in Klingon
Academy for performance reasons.
OPTIONS - VIDEO - ALTERNATIVE CLIPPING
This check box allows the user to choose a slightly different polygon clipping
method for the engine. This may reduce clipping errors in the high detail
starfield and some nebulas on certain video hardware.
---------------
MANUAL ERRATA
---------------
SENSOR (RADAR) DISPLAY
This display shows the currently selected radar display. A single letter is
listed below the sensor display indicating the range setting of the sensors.
In all modes, known enemy vessels will appear as red dots, friendly vessels will
appear as green dots, and unidentified vessels will appear as gray dots, and
heavenly bodies will appear as blue dots. Ships that are detected while cloaked
will appear as a blinking white dot.
GUNNERY RADAR DISPLAY (STRIP RADAR)
The Gunnery Radar is divided into five sections. The center section defines the
area of the forward weapons arc. To the left of the forward weapons arc is the
area of the port arc. To the right of the forward weapons arc is the starboard
arc segment. The two small sections at the extreme left and right of the strip
represent the aft arc. The small rectangular box represents the area you are
currently viewing. The thick dashed line running horizontally through the radar
strip represents the horizontal plane of your ship. Targets above this line are
above your ship, and targets below the line are below your ship as well. The
thinner dashed lines above and below the horizontal centerline indicate the
maximum elevation/depression of the gunnery chair. As in the HUD radar modes,
known enemy vessels will appear as red dots, friendly vessels will appear as
green dots, and unidentified vessels will appear as gray dots, and heavenly
bodies will appear as blue dots. Ships that are detected while cloaked will
appear as a blinking white dot.

LAST MINUTE NOTES
-------------------
Guidelines for Mapping the Keyboard:
When mapping your keyboard, you may notice that some commands cannot be mapped
to every key on the keyboard. The following guidelines will explain what keys
are available for each game command.
1. The following keys are reserved, and cannot be mapped: 0 - 9, F9 - F12,
Print Scrn, Scroll Lock, Pause, Caps Lock Esc and the Keypad.
2. Game functions that issue single, one-time command such as Cloaking Device,
Next Target, and Match Speed cannot be mapped to the following keys: Shift,
Ctrl, Alt, Backspace, Insert, Delete, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down and the
Arrow keys.
3. Game functions where you can hold down a key to repeatedly issue a command,
such as Fire Primary, Roll Right and Accelerate can be mapped to any available
key.

QUICK START GUIDE
===================
---------------------------------------
INSTALLING STAR TREK: KLINGON ACADEMY
---------------------------------------
Place Star Trek: Klingon Academy CD-ROM #1 into your CD-ROM drive. After a few
moments an auto-run screen should appear. This is the Klingon Academy launcher.
If the launcher does not appear simply double click on "My Computer", then
double click on the CD-ROM drive, and then double click on "Setup".
If you have not installed Klingon Academy, the first button on the launcher will
be labeled "Install Klingon Academy". To install the game, left click on this
button and follow the instructions given by the install program. If you do not
have DirectX 7, or if you are not sure if you do, click the "Install DirectX 7"
button and follow the instructions. Users of the Windows 95 operating system
who intend on playing Multiplayer games of Klingon Academy should click the
"Install WinSock 2" button to install necessary networking files. (If you are
unsure if you have already installed Winsock 2, click the "Setup" button on the
launcher to see if Klingon Academy detects Winsock 2.0.) Users of Windows 98 do
not need to do this, as the proper version of Winsock is already incorporated
into their operating system. Once the game is installed, the "Install Klingon
Academy" button will be replaced with a "Play Klingon Academy" button. Click
this to begin play.
-----------------------
KLINGON ACADEMY SETUP
-----------------------
Star Trek: Klingon Academy supports a variety of game resolutions and video
hardware, including multiple video card configurations. To select your game
resolution and your display device in the case of multiple video card
configurations, simply click the "Setup" button on the Launcher. A window will
appear containing a pull-down menu used to select the video hardware you wish to
use, a resolution list box, and an indicator showing if Winsock installation is
required.
DISPLAY DEVICE
Click the downward pointing arrow to open the pull-down window. Click the
desired display device to set it.
SELECT RESOLUTION
Highlight the desired game resolution from the list to select it. If nothing is
listed, click the "Detect Available Resolutions" button to refresh the list.
MULTIPLAYER
This displays the version of Winsock currently installed on your system.
OK
This button accepts and saves any changes to the setup and returns you to the
launcher.
CANCEL
This button ignores any changes made to the setup and returns you to the
launcher.
