- Kali-Doom/Doom2/Heretic/Hexen Enhance Multiplayer Driver
- Version 0.9a beta
- 4/26/96
- (c)Copyright 1996 Kali, Inc.
- All rights reserved.
- Contact support@kali.net for help.
-
- Use this driver instead of the default ipxsetup.exe driver to
- improve the performance of Doom over Kali.
-
- OPTION #1
- ---------
-
- Copy kalidoom.exe to your idsoftware game directory and type
- "kalidoom" to start a 2 player cooperative game on the default
- port.
-
- The following options can be typed on the command line to change
- the game. All players must use the same options!!! There are
- more options. See the readme file for your specific game.
-
- -nodes X Replace X with the number of players (1 to 4)
- -port X Replace X with any number from 1 to 65535
- -deathmatch Start in deathmatch mode instead of cooperative
- -skill X X = the skill level in the game
- -nomonsters Remove the monsters from the game. Humans only.
-
- Adjusting speed:
-
- -t X Replace X with a number from 1 to 5. Higher numbers
- are faster. The default is 2.
- -e X Replace X with a number from 0 to 5. This determines
- how much backup data is sent in each packet. The
- default is 1. This will add one extra frame of info
- to each packet. If one packet is lost the next packet
- will automatically contain the missing data. Higher
- numbers include more info, but make the packets bigger.
- If Doom tends to play quickly for awhile and then make
- a long pause and then continue you should increase this
- number. Kali95 users on 28.8 will find "-e 5" useful.
-
- OPTION #2
- ---------
-
- Rename the existing ipxsetup.exe driver to doomipx.exe. Then copy the
- kalidoom.exe file to the game directory and rename it as ipxsetup.exe.
- Then use the setup.exe or dm.exe utilities like you normally would to
- select game options. See the readme file from the game for details.
- You cannot set the -t or -e options using kalidoom this way yet.
-
- Good Luck!
