-
-
- Installing Avenger Support
-
-
- To establish Avenger support, simple run the
- batch file AVMECH2.BAT
-
- ex: A:> AVMECH2
-
- This will perform two actions:
-
- 1. COPY AVENGER.DLL \MECH2\GIDDI
-
- 2. COPY AVENGER.CPC \MECH2\GIDDI
-
-
- You must hit ESC once inside Mech2 and select the
- Cockit Controls menu item. Then select Spaceball
- Avenger from the menu. If you wish, you can also select
- the Mouse, it will work concurrently with the Avenger.
- Please disable FlightStick if it is highlighted in red by
- clicking on it with the mouse. It may produce undesirable
- results by conflicting with the Avenger.
-
- Installing for a Custom Path
-
- If you did not select the default path setting
- when installing MechWarrior, you must provide the path
- you chose when running the batch file.
-
- ex: A:> AVMECH2 /GAMES/3D/MECH2
-
- This will install Avenger support in that directory
-
-
- Controlling the MechWarrior
-
-
- The following paragraph will assume you are familiar with
- the device, and namely, the six individual axes.
-
-
- TX Turn legs left, right (pull left, push right)
-
- TY Jump (pull up - if jump jets available)
-
- TZ Throttle up, down (C button must be held)
-
- RX If D Button not pressed - torso pitch (look up, down)
- If D Button pressed - pilot pitch
-
- RY If D Button not pressed - torso turn (look left,right)
- If D Button pressed - pilot turn
-
- RZ NOT USED
-
-
- BUTTON A Weapon Cycle
- BUTTON B Weapon Fire
- BUTTON C Enable Throttle control (used with TZ)
- BUTTON D Enable Pilot control (turn pilots head)
- BUTTON E Toggles Through Targets
- BUTTON F Nearest Enemy
-
-
-
- Remapping the Avenger Controls
-
-
- Unlike most games supported by the Avenger, there is no
- configuration file to allow the user to remap buttons and
- change the feel of the game. However, you can edit the controls.
- Please refer to the Mech II instructions for remapping input
- device (Cockpit Controls - Install Guide page 19).
-
- By default, the Mech unit will recenter itself if no pressure
- is applied to the Avenger.
-
- You can change this to allow it to maintain its' orientation
- by changing Pitch and Yaw to Turn Left/Turn Right and Look Up/Look
- Down.
- These items are listed under the Buttons menu, since they are
- digital as opposed to analog. The AVENGER.DLL will set these
- accordingly to motion, and they will generate the same effect
- as a keystroke. You may find the response is a bit slower, and
- you may need to use one of the Buttons for recentering so you
- don't lose your orientation between the legs and torso turning.
