- QD! - Quake Dialer/Termial! version 1.00.05α
- =======================================================================
- (c) 1996, Simply Silly Software
-
- What is QD!
- -----------
-
- Sorry it's taken me a few days to get back to this. I've been busy adding
- games to the Head to Head Gaming Network and just recently gotten a chance
- to fix some of the problems in QD!.
-
-
- 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.
-
- RC File: QD! will create it's own RC 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.
-
- QD! is now fixed so it will acutally ONLY import your RC file
- and not actually use it. It will also ignore any current
- com settings in this file.
-
- Color (Shirt): What color your shirt should be (0-15)
- Color (Pants): What color your pants should be (0-15)
-
-
- This Phonebook as been added. It's SUPER simple to use. Page up and Page
- down will scroll though all the entries in your phone book. Just edit the
- information and it will be available everytime you use it.
-
- 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
-
- OK... all the most stuff has changed due to the problems with com ports other
- than 1 and 2. QD! now always sets up QUAKE's internal COM1. THIS IS NOT
- THE SAME AS ALWAYS USING YOUR COM1. When you enter your information below
- don't worry about what QUAKE wants.. just set it up like it was any ordinary
- communications program.
-
- If you leave the UART and IRQ blank, QD! will use the defaults. They are
-
- UART IRQ
- COM1 0x3F8 4
- COM2 0x2F8 3
- COM3 0x3E8 4
- COM4 0x2E8 3
- COM5 0x4220 3
- COM6 0x4228 3
- COM7 0x5220 3
- COM8 0x5228 3
-
-
- COM: This is the actual COM port you use. It's not releated to the COM
- interrupt QUAKE uses. Put in the value you use with your modem program.
-
- UART: This is the port address of your modem. NOT 16550, NOT 8250... but
- an actual port address. Remember, leave it blank to automaticly use
- the above value.
-
- IRQ: This is the IRQ you want to. See UART for more information.
-
- 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: Your Dial String.
-
- Dial (Button): Click here to dial the phone number above.
-
- Answer: Click here to answer an incomming call.
-
- Setup .RC file: If you have also installed QD!SET in to your quake directory
- QD! will launch it and you can configure your keys, etc. You
- must have QD!SET (yes.. it's a seperate program) inorder for
- this to work.
- 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!
-
- Btw: Client always handles worse than the server. Wait for QTEST 2 to fix
- this. There is nothing you can do about it.
