Welcome to GAV, a GPL rendition of the popular Arcade Volleyball.
|
|
|
|
Some menu items might not be implemtented yet.
|
|
|
|
See CHANGELOG for recent modifications.
|
|
|
|
Keys:
|
|
default keys are:
|
|
Left player: z, c and left shift
|
|
Right player: left, right and up cursor keys.
|
|
|
|
use the arrow keys to navigate the menus, spacebar or enter to activate
|
|
items, F10 to switch to fullscreen mode while playing.
|
|
|
|
Network Game:
|
|
One of the programs must function as server. The server determines
|
|
the parameters of the game (except for the theme, which might be
|
|
different from client to client). Whatever player the server configures
|
|
as "Keyboard/Joy" is local to the server, "Computer/Net" players are controlled
|
|
either by the computer or by a remote client. Starting the server, you
|
|
specify how many clients will attach: each of them will replace a computer
|
|
player. This way, you can play in several different ways: a local player
|
|
against a remote one, a local and AI player against 2 remote ones, an AI
|
|
player against a local and a remote one... Bear in mind that players 1 and 3
|
|
play on the left side, and 2 and 4 on the right side.
|
|
The client need not select anything about the players: just the side it
|
|
will play on (left or right). Currently, only one player per client is
|
|
allowed (while more than one can play on the server). The client's player
|
|
is always controlled by Player 1's controls.
|
|
|
|
Installing themes:
|
|
themes default to the /usr/share/games/gav/themes directory, but if a
|
|
directory ./themes exists, they are looked for in such a directory. This
|
|
might cause problem if you start GAV from a directory that contains
|
|
a 'themes' subdirectory, but no classic theme, which is the
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
Sounds:
|
|
Sounds are looked for in the current theme's directory. If no sound is
|
|
found there, they are looked for in the "default sound" directory,
|
|
which is the directory "sounds" at the same level as the "themes"
|
|
directory. Provided with the game by default (as long as theme
|
|
creators do not come with appropriate sounds for their themes) are the
|
|
default sounds (two 'whistles' at different pitch indicating the
|
|
service change and the scoring of a point). Theme creators interesting in
|
|
setting up sounds, can find the sound filenames, associated with the various
|
|
events, in the array "sound_fnames", found in SoundMgr.cpp.
