- DM_MODEM
- The only way to run DOOM over the modem!
- Programs compiled
- by
- Bob Bruno from SHOCK! BBS
- (802) 868-5274
-
- This is not an original program by me. It is a compilation of other
- programs that I have found to work with modem to modem play.
-
- I have included the programs as I recieved them. The only thing I will take
- credit for is INSTALL.BAT and RM.BAT as well as the many hours of tinkering
- with parameters and other programs that only succeeded in failing.
- Please obide by any of the authors requests regarding anything that they have
- in their docs. They have probably spent much time writing and debugging the
- programs.
-
-
- I make no guaranties that these program will work on your system. I also cannot
- guarantee that they will not trash your DOOM program (or anything else). I can
- only guarantee that they work on my system.
-
- This end product would not have come to being without the help of my friend
- and DEATHMATCH opponant, Dave Yergeau of LATE NITE BBS (802) 524-1785
- We have collectivly spent over 100 hours in research and trail and error
- efforts in getting this package ready.
-
-
- Now, on to the instructions.
-
- If you have a computer and also have fingers, most of the work is already done.
- Oh yeah, Ya gotta have DOOM too.
-
- *Installation*
- ------------
- Create a directory called INSTALL on the same drive that you have DOOM.
-
- If you have doom on your C drive you would type the following from your
- ROOT directory:
-
- MD install
-
- Unzip this package into this new directory and change to the directory.
- Run Install.bat with the following command line parameters:
-
- INSTALL <DRIVE> <DIRECTORY>
-
- So, say that you have DOOM in c:\doom then the above would look like this:
-
- INSTALL C: DOOM (Notice NO "\")
-
- This will make a backup of all files that are modified and unzip and copy all
- of the needed files into your DOOM directory take you into the setup program.
-
- A small note. The setup program (DMQKCGF.EXE) will ask you for the COM port
- number, Speed and then finally the modem you are using. The speed will not
- change from the 19200 that is shown. I have no idea why the author put it in
- there that way but it works at 19200 regardless of the actual connect speed.
-
- Also, I have included another file called DOMOHELP.ZIP. This is a file with a
- list of various modem init strings. I included this incase the default string
- that DMQKCFG.EXE does not work right for you.
-
-
-
- *Running the Damned thing*
- --------------------------
-
- This is where the fun starts!
- Change to your DOOM directory and run RM.BAT with the following Command line
- parameters:
-
- RM <MODE> <PORT>
-
- MODE is either L for non modem play or M for modem to modem play.
- PORT is the com port number 1 for COM 1 or 2 for COM 2.
-
- So if you are running modem to modem with COM1, the command would be:
-
- RM M 1
-
- If you are running the game local (no modem play) the command would look like
- this:
-
- RM L
-
- That's just about it. I can't (And won't) guarantee that this setup will
- work for you. It works for me (and Dave).
-
- If you experience problems, need a customized setup, or just wanna play, please
- get in touch with me at my BBS or call me voice at (802) 868-5081 anytime.
-
-
- Good luck and use the power wisely my son!!!
