From: Dick Balaska Subject: XPilotNT-0.1 (I'm scared momma) Dudes: Here is 0.1 Unzip it into c:\XPilotNT (or not. XPilotNT.shp must be in same dir as .exe) copy XPilotNT.ini to your windows directory (c:\windows). Edit to taste. Shit. I forgot to remove the line "shipShape=fingerd". There are two ways to start the program. 1) command line. type "C:\XPilotNT\XPilotNT name.of.your.server 2) I have a Ripbar/Program Manager group with several XPilotNT icons. Each one has a different server on the "command line" (and in the title) This version expires 960930. I have never run Win95. I am most interested in whether/how it works. Everything that i know is wrong with XPilotNT is listed on my XPilotNT page. What i'm looking for with this release is installation, playability and performance tests. I know XPilotNT needs DLLs (like mfc40.dll), but i don't know which ones i need to ship, since i pay M$ many $$$ for the priviledge of having them all. (InstallShield is Yet Another Programming Language (YAPL) and will be in later releases). The game should play just like on a Un*x box. There should be NO playability problems. I know it plays great on a P166, but that's pretty high end (at least for the next 6 months). I want to determine the minimum machine. One of you is running a P100. I would hope it runs on that. I think the biggest factor is going to be the video card/driver. I hope it doesn't end up that an Imagine 128 is the minimum video card. My initial foray into getting the radar on the screen was pretty CPU intensive. :( I might end up having to rewrite most of the X11 wrappers into the 'Win95 game sdk' whatever that is. When you write to me about your experiences, if they are related to XPilotNT please include the following information: machine name: CPU/speed: OpSys: Video HW: Thumbs Up/Down: For example, it works good here: >machine name: carash >CPU/speed: P166 >OpSys: NT3.51 (No patches) >Video HW: Imagine 128 >Thumbs Up/Down: Nice. When are you going to finish it? This was a great game we had on garter.cebaf.gov >machine name: jade.ct.widget.com >CPU/speed: P133 >OpSys: NT3.51 (No patches) >Video HW: Imagine 128 >Thumbs Up/Down: Awesome baby!
