- QD! - Quake Dialer/Termial! version 1.00.02α
- =======================================================================
- (c) 1996, Simply Silly Software
-
- What is QD!
- -----------
-
- Ok, now I've had some sleep.
-
- For some god forsaken reason, id Software left modem support out of the
- DM test version of Quake. Now, we all know that by using the NULL modem
- support built in and a terminal program, you can play moQuake.
-
- Well.. this little utility fixes all these problems and makes setting up
- a modem game quick and easy. It gives you a menu to enter all the parameters
- instead of having to use the console inside quake, and will even sync up
- the games.
-
-
- Installing QD!
- --------------
-
- Simple. Just unzip in your your QUAKE directory.
-
- Running QD!
- -----------
-
- Just change to your QUAKE directory and type QD!. There is only 1 command
- line switch.
-
- If you type "QD! SETMOUSE h v" you can have QD! setup your mouse before you
- play and restore it aftwarders. "h" is a number between 0 and 100 that
- defines the horz. sensitivity. "v" is a number between 0 and 100 that
- defines the vert. sensitivity!
-
- The Options Menu
- ----------------
-
- The first menu you see is the options menu. This is where you setup the
- game you are about to play. Here is a description of the options...
-
- Your Name: Doh.. the name you will use when playing.
-
- CFG File: QD! will create it's own CFG file and +exec it (QD!.CFG). If you
- want QD! to import the settings from a different file (ie: your
- keyboard/mouse setup) you type it in here.
-
- NOTE however, you only need to type it in once. After that, QD!
- will have made an exact duplicate of your settings in it's file.
-
- Color (Shirt): What color your shirt should be (0-15)
- Color (Pants): What color your pants should be (0-15)
-
- Phone Number: If your calling someone, you would put the phone number in
- here. If you need to dial in pulse (it defaults to tone)
- proceed the # with a ",D". You can also disable call waiting
- by proceeding the # with the command.
-
- Name: You can give this player a name for the phone book
-
- Phone Book: Not yet supported.. next release.
-
- COM: This is what internal QUAKE com port you want to use. Must be 1 or 2.
- If you are usings say COM3 or COM5 for your modem, you need to pick 1 or
- 2 then set the UART and IRQ fields accordingly.
-
- UART: Only put something in there if your not using COM1 or COM2.
- IRQ: See UART
- BAUD: This is the Baudrate at which you wish to play. I suggest leaving it
- at 57600 unless you have a 9600baud modem.
- INIT: Kinda speaks for itself.
- DIAL (Field): Your Dial String.
-
- Dial (Button): Click here to dial the phone number above.
- Answer: Click here to answer an incomming call.
- Head to Head: This is a specific mode for the H2H servers. It's not finished
- yet.
- Quit: Doh.
-
-
- THE TERMINAL
- ------------
-
- Once the game connects, you will be placed in a terminal where you can talk to
- the other player. Press ALT-O will allow you to change if your the server or
- the client. ALT-M will change the map. Alt-N (not yet support) will change
- the name of the game.
-
- Alt-S will start the game.
- Alt-X will exit to dos.
-
- When you first connect, the other player's NAME and CPU rating will be
- displayed. Cool huh.
-
- Also, if you hear a beep, it means that an option has changed.
-
- SYNCING
- -------
-
- QD! defaults to the caller being the Server and the person who answers being
- the CLIENT. You use of course use ALT-O to change this in the terminal window.
-
- IMPORTANT: The SERVER should be the person with the fastest machine!
