Network Play Modem Play General Parameters Multiplayer Demo Recording Troubleshooting Addendum.................................. ------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALLING DOOM LEVEL CREATION KIT ------------------------------------------------------------- To install DOOMLCK2 you need at least DUKE3D v1.4. After extracting all files from the SFX archive run INSTALL.BAT with the path of your DUKE3D directory (e.g: INSTALL D:\DUKE3D). After that a subdirectory will be created and all needed files will be copied to it (except the DCK-Files, these will be copied to your DUKE3D directory). -- FOR ANXIOUS GUYS !!! -- Don't be afraid of losing any files (ART,MAP,GRP..), this won't happen ! ------------------------------------------------------------- INTRODUCTION ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to DOOMLCK's README section. This section contains all of the commands for running DOOMLCK from the command line, as well as manual updates and technical support information. -- IMPORTANT !!! -- DOOMLCK2 must!! be installed into a subdirectory of DUKE3D called "DOOMLCK2". Otherwise the game won't run. !!!!!-- VERY VERY VERY IMPORTANT --!!!!! If DUKE3D or BUILD are shuting down because of an error, run DUKE3D.BAT or BUILD.BAT immediatly to prevent further errors with DUKE3D. Changes will than be restored. ------------------------------------------------------------- RUNNING DOOMLCK FROM THE COMMAND LINE ------------------------------------------------------------- You start DOOMLCK2 with DUKE3D.BAT. Because DOOMLCK2 is only designed for deathmatches this is not very clever only if you want to run your own soloplayer levels. So to start DOOMLCK2 for deathmatches run SETUP.BAT or COMMIT.BAT if you have already configured your network game. You can run DOOMLCK2 like DUKE3D with all its command line parameters (e.g: duke3d -map user00.map). -- IMPORTANT !!! -- If you want to run DOOMLCK with your own custom levels, you have to start them as if you are in the DUKE3D directory. (e.g: if you want to start user00.map in your USERMAPS directory, go to your DOOMLCK2 directory and enter "DUKE3D.BAT -MAP USERMAPS\USER00.MAP") NETWORK/MODEM PLAY ------------------ When you want to run a network/modem game, you use SETUP.BAT (Read the DUKE3D Manual how to start a network/modem game) GENERAL PARAMETERS ------------------ For a complete parameter list see the DUKE3D help file or run "DUKE3D /?". DOOMLCK2 will accept all parameters from DUKE3D. -- Info -- If you want to use your own GRPs, be sure that these GRPs aren't including ART Files. There could be errors. USING BUILD ----------- If you have got the BUILD editor for DUKE3D, you can use it to create your own DOOMLCK Levels (BUILD 1.4 is required). Just run BUILD.BAT in your DOOMLCK2 directory.
