- Connecting to the APCi MultiPlayer Gamer Server is very simple.
- Follow these easy steps:
-
- 1 - You must have a high-speed modem capable of connecting at a
- minimum of 14400 baud. While 9600 baud is fast enough for
- most two player games, it does not allow for smooth operation
- of fast-paced and data-intensive three or more player games.
-
- 2 - Configure you computer's memory and other resources as required
- by DOOM. Reference your DOOM manual or README files for helpful
- information. If necessary, contact id Software's technical support
- sevices (or call one of your computer-geek friends).
-
- 3 - Run APCiDOOM MultiPlayer Game Client software by typing APCIDOOM
- in your DOOM directory. You will need to provide important
- configuration information such as your modem's COM port and
- hardware port speed the first time it is executed.
-
- 4 - Proceed IMMEDIATELY to the HELP menu and read EVERYTHING. Don't
- be a geek. The HELP section contains extremely important
- information that you MUST know and understand to play multiplayer
- modem DOOM. If you don't read it, you'll be frustrated and
- confused. Worse yet, WE will be frustrated and confused when you
- call and expect us to read it to you. JUST READ IT! Then look
- through all of the menus and options.
-
- 5 - Use the appropriate modem initilization commands and APCiTERM
- to call the host BBS. You will find a list of suggested modem
- initilization commands under the APCiLINK setup menu of APCiDOOM.
- It is highly recommended that you configure APCiTERM to use a
- port speed of 19200 or 38400. Your sysop or one of your computer
- geek friends may be able to help you with these settings.
-
- 6 - Call the host BBS which has the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server.
- Connect to the APCi MultiPlayer Game Server by selecting
- the appropriate BBS menu options then PRESSING YOUR SPACE BAR
- SEVERAL TIMES IN SUCCESSION to activate the server.
-
- 7 - Select DOOM from the APCiTERM pop-up menu. Chat with other players
- will then begin. When all players have selected identical game
- parameters and press F10, the game will start. Have fun! When
- finished, return to APCiTERM and continue your BBS session. Log off
- properly. Do NOT merely hang up while connected to the APCi
- MultiPlayer Game Server or any online service. It's really rude!
