Falcon's Honor RESOURCE.DAT help file Last Updated: Recently
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
What is RESOURCE.DAT? RESOURCE.DAT is a file which can be used in replacement
of many of the standard command line parameters, as well as for extended
features. Command Line parameters will override any RESOURCE.DAT settings.
Note: The RESOURCE.DAT file should be in your main FH directory.
The Format of the RESOURCE.DAT file is:
item setting
item setting
...
Where item refers to the config option such as "LockedBaud" and setting
refers to the parameter such as "19200". If any strings with multiple
words are used, they must be enclosed in double quotes("hello all"). Valid
Boolean Values include:
FALSE TRUE
OFF ON
0 1
F T
NO YES
Any of these may be used for any boolean flags on parameters.
Comments in the file are used by including a ; at the beginning of the line.
; This line is a comment.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
BIOS : Boolean DEFAULT: FALSE
If you're having problems with multitasking due to screen bleeding or
other problems, turn this option to true.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
VGA : Boolean DEFAULT: TRUE
The VGA Option, when set to true, will adjust the colors on your
monitor if you have a VGA to be a little nicer looking. If Falcon's Eye
detects DESQview running, this option will automatically disable.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LockedBaud : Number DEFAULT: 0
If you use a Locked Baud rate, set this value to the locked baud rate;
otherwise, this option is unnecessary. Value of 0 is also treated as no
locked baud rate.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Fossil : Boolean DEFAULT: FALSE
The Fossil option allows you to enable the fossil driver com routines.
FH will default to use its own internal com routines, unless the FOSSIL
option is set to true. The installer should have asked you this
question and already inserted a value into the RESOURCE.DAT file.
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Local : Boolean DEFAULT: FALSE
If you wish to force local play at all times, set this to TRUE.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Multitasker : String DEFAULT: "DETECT"
This option will allow you to override the default FH multitasking
setting. By default, FH will automatically attempt to figure out what
multitasking program you are running. The following options will
set FH to use timeslicing for the given multitaskers:
"NONE" ─ No Multitasker
"OS2" ─ For OS/2
"WINDOWS" ─ For Windows
"DESQVIEW" ─ For DESQview
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
ComN : Comport Description DEFAULT: none
You can set COM1 ─ COM8's parameters (base address and IRQ level) with
these resources. For example,
Com5 $3E8,5
would set up COM5 to run on IRQ 5 at base address hex 3E8. Be sure
not to put a space before or after the comma.
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
GameName : String DEFAULT: "Falcon's Honor"
This can be used to change the title of the game on the status bar. This
is useful if you are running multiple games and would like to know which
one the user is currently in.
