Coded by Alan Chin

VGA Planets Version 3

What is Oneplay?
----------------
VGA Planets is a great multiplayer strategy game that unfortunately
does not have a single player option. Oneplay was designed to allow an
easy way for a single player to practice against the computer.
Why?
----
It takes alot of strategy to win a game in VGA Planets.
Making errors in the middle of a game against 10 experienced players can
often prove fatal. Playing against easy opponents like the computer will
give you enough time to improve before challenging veteran players.
Sometimes when multiplayer games are unavailable or the competition in
available games are just a little too tough then having in between games
against the computer will only help your abilities. Plus, it's good to
try every race's advantages that won't be possible in a crowded game.
By playing with each one, you can tell whether or not they are really worth
playing.
The new scenario expansion modules are integrated into this package to let
players practice the different conditions of each one.
Files included and needed
-------------------------
oneplay.exe - To start Oneplay
one.exe \
vpread.exe > Oneplay support files
input.exe /
cplayer.exe - Computer player program
Sweep.bat - Delete old files routine
rconfig \
ref > Scenario expansion module
* Full installation of VGA Planets Version 3.0 is also required
Easy Setup
----------
You must have VGA Planets fully installed, which includes both the
Host and Player files.
If you are currently playing VGA Planets then it would be advisable
to reinstall VGA Planets in a different directory to avoid conflict
with your current games.
Copy all the Oneplay files to VGA Planets directory.
Starting Oneplay
----------------
To run Oneplay, type:
oneplay
The first time you run it will erase any other games in the directory
and a new one will be started.
Menu Commands
-------------
These commands will become available after the setup configuration is
completed.
[p] Play/continue a game with a selected race against the chosen
computer opponents.
[e] End turn and process your actions and computer actions for the
next turn.
[c] Choose a different race to play from the selected ones in the
current game.
[n] Quit current game and start a new game with a new setup.
[q] Quit to DOS and leave current game intact.
Freeware
--------
Oneplay is freeware, but I must insist that the files in the
archive must remain unaltered unless by express permission of the
author. Many of the support programs that are written for
VGA Planets are freeware, however the main client program
for VGA Planets, PLANETS.EXE, is a shareware program. I
invite you to register the game if you are a player and
have not yet registered. See the order form at the end of
this document.
