Copyright (C) 1994 IVS Corporation DWANGO is a revolutionary, new way to play games. It's all about networking and playing other people all around the world, no matter where they are. You can chat with each other, create teams, join teams and jump into any DOOM, DOOM2 or HERETIC world you want -- either in DeathMatch or in Co- operative mode. The problem common to networking computer games is that the other people that you want to play might not want to play at the exact same time that you do. Or, you might get tired of beating the same old person time after time because you don't know anyone else in your area with the same DOOM problem that you have. With DWANGO, you get DeathMatch-On-Command! Just dial up and challenge someone to a match -- even if it's 3:00 in the morning! IMPORTANT NOTE: Since DWANGO is a very new service, you need to dial a long-distance number to access it. The area code is 713, which is in Houston, TX. If you can't afford the charges (or don't WANT to), please don't run DWANGO. If you're under 18, please get your parent's permission before you start racking up long-distance bills-from-hell. Otherwise, if you're an avid MoDOOMer, you'll appreciate the convenience of DWANGO. You will get a half-hour of FREE time on the server, but to continue using DWANGO, you will need to enter your credit card information in the Billing section and incur a $20 start-up fee. Then you will need to buy time, which you can choose in the Billing section. To get started, it's easy. Just type DWANGO in your DOOM, DOOM2 or HERETIC directory. Make sure that you run DWANGO from the directory of the game you want to play, or DWANGO won't have any idea which game you're using. The best way of running DWANGO is to copy all DWANGO-related files into the game directory -- there's DWANGO.EXE, DWANGO.STR and DWANGO.TXT. Then, run DWANGO from there. First off, DWANGO needs to know your configuration, so when you first run DWANGO, the Create Configuration panel will come up. You need to enter your Baud Rate, COM Port, Area Code and Current Modem. For baud rate, start off with the fastest baud possible first, 38400. Select the COM port to which your modem is connected. If your phone line has call-waiting, you can disable it by selecting the Disable CallWaiting option. If your disable code is not the default "*70", you can type the correct one for your area. Next, you need to enter your area code. Finally, you need to choose the type of modem you are using. Press F1 to choose your modem from a list of popular modems. Finally, press the F10 key to tell DWANGO that you're finished configuring. Now, DWANGO is ready for you to log in. But you're not registered as a New User yet, so you need to press F1 at the Login panel to create a New User account. The Username is your "handle" online; it doesn't need to be your real name. So, you could call yourself "killer" if you think you're really good. Or, call yourself "babyboy" if you're new to all this DeathMatch stuff. Press ENTER after editing an item and you will be moved to the next item. If you need to go back and edit your information, just use the cursor keys to move back to the item. The Password field will be your permanent password, so choose something you'll remember easily. Every time you log in to DWANGO after this time, you'll need to enter both your Username and Password to get into the system. Press F10 when you've filled all New User Account fields to log onto DWANGO! DWANGO will then Initialize your modem, then Dial DWANGO. When the DWANGO Server answers, DWANGO will Attempt to connect to the server. If connection doesn't happen within 20 seconds, something is wrong with either your Baud Rate or your modem init string. First, try to change your baud rate by re-running DWANGO with "-config". The -config parameter will let you re-enter your Configuration Information and create a new DWANGO.CFG file. When you finally connect to the DWANGO Server, the main screen will come up and all the users online will start entering your userlist at the top of the screen. The information listed for each person is the Name of the person (their handle), which team they belong to, which PWAD they are playing, what their current status is (Available or Playing), which game they want to play (DOOM, DOOM2 or HERETIC), which version of the game they're using (you must have matching versions to play on the same team), and finally their User Type. If you're new to DWANGO, you will be a newbie. After you've paid your start-up fee of $20, your status will be Normal. Any time any users enter DWANGO, leave DWANGO, start a team, play a game, or anything that could change a user's status, that change will be reflected in the userlist at the top of the screen. As soon as you login for the first time, the DWANGO Server will look at the information you entered for the New User Account you requested. The Server will inform you if you have been accepted or rejected. For more information, you can call 1-800-2DWANGO, or 1-800-239-2646. If you are rejected, the New User panel will come up again for you to re-enter your information. One reason you could be rejected is by typing a handle or password with a space character in it. If you've been accepted, then you're in! You will begin to see text start --------------------------------------------------------------
