------------ SpaceOrb 360 Duke Nukem 3D Beta TEN Patch --------------

------------------------ beta beta beta -----------------------------



This software is still beta. Please use at your own risk. 



--------------------- TEN and Duke Nukem ---------------------------

Background

----------



The TEN network has not yet added official support for external 

devices in their present client software.  Until this support is 

added, the present TEN software does not provide the capability to

pass command line parameters to a target game, as is required with

the SpaceOrb 360.  



A formal solution to this issue is being worked on by TEN and 

Spacetec IMC Corporation.  In the meantime, this PATCH

program will allow a user to use their SpaceOrb 360 with Duke 

Nukem 3D over the TEN network.



Spacetec IMC Corporation is releasing this PATCH to provide an

interim solution until TEN officially supports the SpaceOrb. To 

install this software, you should have some familiarity with DOS

batch files, and with using a text editor to modify them. You

should also be familiar with DOS directory structures.



This PATCH, which copies, updates and renames the DUKE3D.EXE file

for use with the TEN Network, has been developed by a SpaceOrb 360

customer named John Raeford (aka Dutchman on TEN).  Thank you 

for your time, energy and assistance, John!



Note : This PATCH program and its components are to be used

       ONLY when playing Duke over TEN with the SpaceOrb 360.



Steps

-----

1. Download the TENDUKE.EXE into your Duke Nukem 3D directory.



2. Unzip the TENDUKE.EXE by typing TENDUKE.EXE in your Duke directory.

   This will uncompress several files, including TENDUKE.BAT and 

   DUKESPW.BAT.



3. Run TENDUKE.BAT from the Duke Nukem 3D directory.  This will 

   configure Duke Nukem for TEN.  

   

   NOTE : You MUST run TENDUKE.BAT EVERY time you want to use 

          the SpaceOrb 360 with Duke over TEN.



4. You will need to edit the DUKESPW.BAT file to insure that the Duke

   and SpaceOrb directories are correct.  The directories in the original

   DUKESPW.BAT file that comes with the PATCH are the Default directories

   provided during SpaceWare installation.  



   The DUKESPW.BAT file looks as follows (w/ REM statements removed):



   call C:\spcware\spaceorb\orbload.bat

   c:

   CD c:\spcware\spaceorb\games

   spwduke.exe -sbconfig spwduke.scg -dir c:\spcware\duke -exe realduke.exe -noshow %1 %2 %3 %4 %5  

   

   To edit the file to match your directory structure :



   1. Replace the C:\SPCWARE\SPACEORB entries (on lines 1 & 3),

      with the directory name where you installed the SpaceWare software.  

      C:\SPCWARE\SPACEORB is the default directory.  Remember to keep

      ORBLOAD.BAT command on line 1 when you modify the pathname.  

      Also be sure to keep the \GAMES at the end of the directory

      entry on line 3.



   2. Replace the C:\DUKE3D entry (on line 4), with the

      directory name where Duke Nukem 3D is installed.



NOTE:

------

You MUST run TENDUKE.BAT prior to loading TEN each time you want to run 

the SpaceOrb 360 with Duke over TEN.  This also ensures that Duke Nukem 3D will

run correctly from the DOS Game Launcher when not playing over TEN.  When

not running over TEN, run Duke Nukem from the DOS Game Launcher.  



Make sure that both the SpaceOrb DOS Game Launcher and TEN are NOT running 

at the same time in Windows 95.



NOTE:

------

This ZIP file contains a batch file called FINDDUKE.BAT. If you run the

TEN patch program, and then launch Duke from TEN, and the SpaceOrb drivers

don't load, you may have more than one copy of Duke installed on your hard

drive. You can use the FINDDUKE.BAT file to determine how many copies exist,

and to edit the DUKESPW.BAT file to specify the correct copy of Duke to run

with TEN. Please run FINDDUKE.BAT from your Duke directory.



FINDDUKE <drive letter> will search the drive for all copies of Duke

and display on your screen the directories where Duke is installed.



FINDDUKE <drive> EDIT will show all copies of DUKE and display the

DUKESPW.BAT file so that you can edit it to specify the correct copy of

Duke to run.
