GENERIC-MOD INSTALLATION AND SETUP
Before using GMOD, follow these important steps:
GMOD CONFIGURATION: (Performed only once)
Using GMOD is a straight forward intuitive process. However, prior to
using the program, YOU MUST RUN THE CONFIG PROGRAM (only once) so that GMOD
will recognize and use your sound card properly. Follow these easy steps:
Copy (or unZIP) all of the program files into an empty directory. At the
DOS prompt, type "CONFIG" and press ENTER. Step through each menu selection
until all choices are completed, i.e. identify your sound card from the
available choices. Most compatible sound cards will emulate the Sound
Blaster Pro. If you are not sure, make your selection and use the TEST
option to determine success or failure. Once your have made all of your
selections, select "SAVE..." and press ENTER. A configuration file will
be created in the current directory. This configuration file, along with
one of the included ".MSE" files are BOTH required in order for GMOD to
run.
GMOD will only play music files that have been converted to the .GDM
format. Some preconverted files are included so that you make play them
immediately after creating your configuration file. If you have any of the
supported module music files (MED, STM, ULT, S3M, MOD, MTM, FAR or 669),
you may convert them with the 2GDM.EXE conversion program. Conversion is
simple. Make sure that the file to be converted is in the same directory
with 2GDM.EXE and then type "2GDM filename" (filename is the name of the
music file to be converted. The extension is not required), then press
ENTER. 2GDM will create a new file with the .GDM extension. This new
music file may then be used by GMOD without any loss of quality.
2GDM creates a NEW file so your original file remains unaltered.
To start GMOD, simply type "GMOD" and press ENTER. After GMOD has found
and used the information contained in the Configuration File, it is ready
for any of the following commands (press the first letter of the command,
or click on the highlighted letter of the command).
