----------------
(2) INSTALLATION
----------------
The installer assumes that Descent3 is installed and configured properly!
Please be sure that Descent3 is operable on your system BEFORE installing
Mercenary!
Mount the Descent 3: Mercenary CD and then change directory to where you
unpacked the Mercenary for Linux installer. Type 'sh setup.sh' to run the
install script.
e.g. Log in as root:
$ mount /mnt/cdrom
$ cd /home/icculus/merc_install
$ sh setup.sh
--------------------
(3) PLAYING THE GAME
--------------------
Game play with Mercenary is identical to playing regular Descent 3.
However, you now have access to new missions and maps. When you select
"New Game" on the main menu, you will see several more options.
"Descent 3: Mercenary" is the official expansion. "Descent 3:
Retribution" is the original game. Other entries, such as "StoneCutter"
and "Tri-Pod", are levels included with the Mercenary expansion that
were created by D3 fans on the Internet.
Many games on Parallax Online (PXO) use maps from the Mercenary
expansion; you may participate in these games now that Mercenary
is installed.
Mercenary has two new movies to watch.
Finally, Mercenary has a new vehicle, the "Black Pyro", that you will
fly and fight in various scenarios.
