Wargasm Patch Readme.txt 9/2/99

NB. This patch will work with all language versions of Wargasm.

What this patch addresses:

A. It provides compatibility for the CYRIX chipset.

B. This is also a Control Configuration Patch that allows the user to configure his/her own controls. 
   There is now also support for mouse control. The set up is as follows:

1. First go to the options screen from the main menu, and click on Control. If you are already in the game, 
   then Press 'Shift' and 'O' to get to the options screen (Shift+O doesn't work in Multiplay). After you click on 'Control'    you will be presented with a Control Chart. Decide which unit type you wish to configure the controls for, then click on 
   either 'Tank','Chopper' or 'Troop'.
2. Next, click on the function of the vehicle type you wish to change, eg 'Engine Power' for the Tank, then implement 
   the new control for that function, eg push up, down, left or right on the joystick or the Mouse, or Press a button 
   on the mouse, Keyboard or Joystick that you wish to carry out this function. You will then have to enter the command to      negate the previous command. For example, if you push the Up cursor for engine positive, then press the Down cursor for 
   engine negative.
3. The 'Qualifier' button enables a particular function that has the same configuration as another function. 
   Eg. If you have selected the 'A' and 'Z' keys to move the troop forwards and back, and you wish the same keys to 
   move the troop's gun up and down, then you would need to highlight a Qualifier button to enable this, eg the 'Shift'         button.
4. The 'Y-Flip' button reverses the Y Axis control, like a reverse mouse feature, except here it applies to joystick's 
   axis too.
5. Should you wish to use one control set for all the vehicle types, then after you have configured the controls for one unit    type, click on the 'Copy to All' button to transfer the control set, to all the vehicle types.
6. If you have the Rock 'n' Ride chair (see below) there will also be a RNR Scale slider bar on this screen. This controls
   the sensitivity of the chair.

Please Note:

1. In all the vehicles' control config, the 'Fire' button and the buttons onwards can only be used with digital imput, 
   ie the functionalities can only be attached to button presses.
2. The following keys on the Keyboard cannot be configured as they are reserved keys:
   PageUp
   PageDown
   K
   M
   R
   N
   D
   F1-F12
   1-0
   - and +
   2, 4, 6, 8 on the numeric Keypad

C. Rock 'n' Ride support

   We've added support for the Rock 'n' Ride hydraulic chair peripheral. Just unzip the RNR.zip file to your                 windows\system directory.

D. Instant Action Bug fix

   A bug on the Instant Action mission select menu has been fixed.

E. Union Reality fix

   Union Reality's head set now works as a single input device.

F. Gore.
   
   When killed with Sabot or other missile weapon, troops now explode.

G. This patch also includes all the fixes in the previous patch which were:
   
   Works on DVD and CDROM drives which were previously incompatible.
   Works with certain PCI 64 bit sounds cards which previously didn't work.
   Compatible with the SoundBlaster Live! card.

H. Known errors.

   We have found that the Matrox G200 card causes some graphical defects. Simply download the latest drivers to fix this.
   The latest version of the drivers is available from www.matrox.com and the version number is 4.51.010.
