TEKWAR      
README FILE      
This is a beta Demo of TekWar the Game.  As with any beta, there are 
bound to be a few problems as the game is still not finished. Before you 
get started there are a few things you need to know. Although the 
graphics in TEKWAR are stunning, unless you have a high end machine, 
we recommend playing in 320 x 200 mode. To skip the intro/briefing 
screens press [Esc].  The F1 key brings up the help menu.  To crouch, 
press [c].  To bring up the on screen inventory press [i].  To not show 
gore, as part of the command line type [nogore] after the command.  i.e.
 C:\CAPSTONE\TEKWAR run nogore
All the game controls are currently being reworked and are not in their 
final form. The game may be a little choppy in places due to map design 
issues as well as our not having optimized the code yet for speed, but we 
hope to have all that ironed out for the finished game.  Please bear with 
us and give us feedback on what you like and don’t like so we can give 
you what you want in the final game.  To save download time, we have 
not included the 3D rendered introduction, or the full motion video of 
William Shatner’s briefings and debriefings that will be in the final 
version.  For the game, we will have a bunch of new weapons and 
gadgets to play with, a lot more of Greater Los Angeles to explore and 
six more TekLords to deal with.  Next, we have added a unique 
functionality to using the mouse.  In addition to the usual forward, back, 
turning, and holding the right mouse button (RMB) down to walk 
straight ahead, by holding the RMB down and moving the mouse in the 
opposite direction, you switch which direction you go when you hold 
the button down.  i.e. you start with it set to walk forward when the 
RMB is pushed, if you then pull the mouse back while holding down the 
RMB, you now go in reverse when the RMB is held down.  Now you 
can get out of trouble as easily as you got into it and retreat while still 
being able to fire.  The default sensitivity of how far the mouse needs to 
be moved  to change the default direction is set to 100.  After playing 
for a while if you  would like to customize it to accommodate your 
personal style, press  [F10] and move the mouse forward or back to 
increase or decrease the setting,  The lower the number the less you 
have to move the mouse , the  larger, the further to switch.  When you 
have set the sensitivity set to your desired level, hit [F10] again to save 
and exit the adjustment utility.  Unlike many other first person games, 
the AI in TEKWAR is very sophisticated.  First of all, the Tekgoons 
don’t just walk stupidly toward you shooting and ignoring your shots.  
They may guard a location, chase   you or maybe even stalk you.  In 
combat, don’t be surprised if they dodge and duck and take advantage 
of cover.  If you notice a door is open and you knew it was closed, 
watch out, you may be being stalked!  On the hard setting, it only takes 
a few hits to put you out, so save often.  You start out with two 
weapons and can find others.  The first is the Kralov CEG 15 Stunner 
and the second is the C & W Model 2040.  The third weapon you can 
find is the Shrike DBK.  It is a very powerful energy weapon, but until 
you find the accutrak for it, you may find it a little  inaccurate.
