INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO RUN DOOM ON A SIMPLY LANTASTIC NETWORK Files Included: LSL.COM NRODI.COM IPXODI.COM NETDOOM.BAT NETDOOM.DOC YOU MUST HAVE THE REGISTERED VERSION (1.2 or better) OF DOOM TO UTILIZE THIS PACKAGE This archive contains everything you need to run DOOM on a SIMPLY LANTASTIC network. Change to the directory which contains DOOM and then execute this self extracting archive. ie., cd games\doom \download\lntstcdm Then execute the NETDOOM batch file to install the drivers and run DOOM SETUP to access network gameplay. It's best NOT to have the normal Lantastic drivers and network in place when doing this. You might consider booting clean from floppy also, so as to get the maximum amount of memory available for gameplay. To set up a boot disk, format a disk with the /S parameter, then create a basic CONFIG.SYS file. Maybe, something like this: DEVICE=C:\DOS\himem.sys DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS BUFFERS=5 FILES=20 DOS=HIGH,UMB STACKS=0,0 Then create an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that changes to your DOOM directory and starts NETDOOM.BAT. Maybe, something like this: @ECHO OFF SET SOUND=D:\SB SET TEMP=C:\TEMP SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4 LH c:\MOUSE\MOUSE CD GAMES\DOOM NETDOOM That SHOULD do it. Your configuration may vary from mine, but you get the gist of this rambling, eh? I put this package together for those of you who can't get your hands on LSL.COM, NRODI.COM and IPXODI.COM. Together these COM files allow up to 4 players to play DOOM over a SIMPLY LANTASTIC network. Also included is a sample batch file for loading them into upper memory and then removing them upon exit from the game. Good Luck, & good shooting.
