DOOM SETUP INSTRUCTIONS


    This Support file contains a DOOM/HERETIC laucnch terminal which you MUST
use to play DOOM I, DOOM II, or HERETIC in the "GAME CONNECTION".
SIRDOOM.ZIP file and copy them into your DOOM/HERETIC directory(s).
Or you may put the sirdoom files in a seperate dir 

For MULTI-PLAYER DOOM/HERETIC MATCH you will need a 14400 or faster modem!
 

1. Unzip the SIRDOOM.ZIP file!
   Copy them all into a seperate directory (SIRDOOM)  
    
2. Change to the SIRDOOM directory and Type SIRDOOM.EXE   This will put 
   you in the terminal MODE

3. HIT ALT-C to configure your game choice and modem setings. All future 
   game settings can be configured ON-LINE without EXITING the BBS!!!
   CONFIGURE the SIRDOOM.CFG file by inserting the CORRECT modem string!
   (ERROR CORRECTION and DATA COMPRESSION MUST BE OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   Leave HARDWARE FLOW CONTROL(RTS/CTS) ON! Look in your modem book for the
   commands if you do not know or E-Mail the sysop for help.)

4. Hit ALT-I to initialize the modem string. {DO NOT FORGET THIS!}
    you should see ok under the init string for your modem

5. Hit ALT-D and return to dial our BBS PH#.   603- 788-2213
   IF your modem does not dial-out than your modem is not set to the
    COM PORT sirdoom is looking for/ setup your modem again in sirdoom
     alt c  to bring up the screen
   2. Change the PORT:X setting in the SIRDOOM.CFG file again! this wiil 
be done for you by the setup modem settings you enter

6. After logging in select (G) at main menu to go to GAME CONNECTION area.
   Here you will join a   multi-player game from the game menu
   selection. Pick (M) for ENTER . Pick a channel #. Select your
   game and pick either #10 (DOOM MODE) or #11 (HERETIC MODE)!



       Whoever gets in the GAMERS (teleconference) room first becomes the 
   MODERATOR. You will be told if you are MODERATOR and will have extra
   control over that game.  The guy with a fast machine should be the 
   moderator. <fast = 486/66 with the most meg of ram. If pentium is in the
   game and has less memory than the 486/66 the 66 should be the moderator
   since all data will be handled thru this machine and the extra memory 
   makes  this task easier.

   Meet and talk with your opponent(s) in this room. It is like a 
   tele-conference room. Check and make sure all have the same args in and 
   ready BEFORE you do /start  then alt s .When you see that all payers have 
   been found hit enter. DO NOT BE IN A HURRY as mistakes will abort the game
  ,hang people up, and be basically a pain in the ass. If you have a slow 
   machine in the game <486/33> wait a little bit for it to load <this can 
   take up to 70-80 seconds>   when you hear the music if your screen stays
   black for another 30 seconds the game is not going to happen.Abort the
   game.. This problem will not always be the slowest machine. Eliminate 
   machines one at a time to see if trial and error will find the problem.
   Alot of 486/33's can and do make it into games so don't point your finger
   to quick.


   The MODERATOR (ONLY) will then type /START and {RETURN} AND THEN HIT
   ALT-S  to begin the game. When ALL players have been found (you will be
   notified)   the MODERATOR will hit ENTER to begin the game.

   Do not be discouraged if you do not get into a game immediatly /4 player doom
  takes a little bit of tweaking on your side of it to get you all setup pro
  perly. most problems with getting into games comes from players haveing 
  different settings on there args string .


   For OTHER games you can dial-in from within that Game's Directory 
   terminal. Some you have to Pre-Dial. There is a table at end of BBSUSER
   .DOC file and in SIRGCONN.DOC file showing the recommended dial methods/
   and baud rates for EACH GAME. ALL these files are found in the SUPPORT.ZIP
   file in the MAIN and GAMES libraries. If you Pre-dial using Qmodem,
   Procomm, or any other comm. program you will have to exit that comm 
   program and  call back in sirdoom or sirdescent.
   
     ALL Players must be running the SAME version of their respective games.
   All games will only run as smooth/fast as the slowest modem and/or comput-
   er. We at the  MODEM GAMELINK MULTI-PLAYERS CONNECTION BBS act only as 
   a "switchboard" for the Multi-Player portion of this BBS. So any 
   problems will usually be the result of the end (terminal) USERS! 
   If you have any problems address them to the Sysop via E-Mail from main
   menu.        
        

   P.S  IF you have a NS16550A and it does not recognize it or says your
       FIFO'S are defective (and they are not) add UART: FIFO to the
       first line of your SIRDOOM.CFG file. Make sure you HIT  ALT-I
       to init the modem string, before you dial-in!
   
      THIS FILE WILL BE UPDATED AS WE GET MORE AND BETTER INFO
