- INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING NETMECH DOS
- ---------------------------------------
-
- These instructions were written for users of the DOS operating system.
- Users running under Windows 95 will need to open a DOS box or restart
- in command-line only mode before proceeding. Please refer to the
- Windows 95 documentation if you are unsure how to get to a command
- prompt.
-
-
-
- --- 1. DOWNLOAD NETMECH ONTO YOUR HARD DISK
-
- NetMech is available in two formats:
-
- - A single 11MB file (NM10.BIN) plus NM10.EXE
- - Eight 1.44MB files (NM10_1.BIN ... NM10_8.BIN) plus NM10.EXE
-
- We recommend downloading the eight smaller files rather than the one
- big file if you are using a modem; that way, if one of the chunks gets
- corrupted during download, you only have to re-download a small chunk.
-
-
- --- 2. INSTALL NETMECH
-
- - Stand-Alone
-
- If you are NOT installing NetMech into the same directory as a previously
- existing installation of MechWarrior 2, your installation process is
- simplified. Change to the directory where you downloaded NetMech, and run
- NM10.
-
- example:
- C:\> NM10
-
- You will be prompted for the name of the directory to decompress into.
-
-
- - Into A MechWarrior 2 Directory
-
- If you plan to use NetMech in conjunction with MechWarrior 2, you will
- need to install it into the same directory as MechWarrior 2. To do this,
- copy all of the NetMech files you downloaded into your MechWarrior 2
- directory, and then run NM10 with the -y option.
-
- example:
- C:\MECH2> NM10 -y
-
- NOTE: If you don't run NM10 from the same directory as MECH2, but
- you select that directory at the prompt, you will have to confirm
- overwrites for a large number of files.
-
-
-
- --- 3. CONFIGURE NETMECH FOR YOUR COMPUTER
-
- Before you start playing NetMech, you will need to configure NetMech for
- your particular hardware configuration.
-
- Change to the directory where you installed NetMech, type INSTALL at
- the command prompt, and press the ENTER key.
-
- example:
- C:\MECH2> INSTALL
-
- This will launch the NetMech setup program. Follow the instructions that
- are displayed. An explanation of the NetMech setup program can be found
- in the NetMech documentation file, NETMECH.TXT. This file gets decompressed
- along with the rest of the NetMech files when you have completed step 2 above.
-
-
-
- --- 4. FIND SOMEONE TO PLAY AGAINST
-
- Since NetMech is a multiplayer game, you will need to find an opponent before
- you can play. If you don't know anyone else who has NetMech, visit the
- NetMech web page, http://www.activision.com/netmech, or read the section
- "Finding Other MechWarriors for Modem Games" in NETINFO.HLP or NETINFO.TXT.
