devWAM • C1 & C2 infographic

Toshiba-3 created C1 & C2 infographic on Thu Jul 16, 2015 10:21 pm

Something I wanted to do for a while now. A bit in the style of those "So you want to play some Doom/Duke Nukem?" ones, but I figured that C1/C2 modding is much less popular than modding those games and I had to explain a lot of basics before suggesting a selection of mods for each game.

The selection is oriented toward older gamers who are used to mod other games. That's why selected mods are mostly assets ported/remade from other old games. To show what's possible via stuff that already talks to them.

It'll get its own page on RR2000, but in the meantime don't hesitate to share your remarks :sbsmile:

Very cool...

But...

- Are you sure Meld Pack doesn't support Glide? As far as I remember I was trying it without problems - it need just the missing exec and some root DOS related files from CD and from patch and of course DOSBox and nGlide set to play...

- instead of typing strange switched-letters cheats just replace KEYBOARD.COK for your keyboard layout (all known [by me] versions are included with Splat Pack and my patch). I don't have such keyboards to test, but it switch the keys for my keyboard, so must work as expected for the other. I know this is quick guide, but...

- and as usual I must say IWANTTOFIDDLE may cause game to corrupt some text files, which may lead to crash... Not sure, but it look like Max Pack C1 have some text files encrypted twice with two different method, which is the source of errors... I must do something with this... later...

- T-shirt format please ;)

Hi QTZ, yes this is a 'quick' guide. Meld Pack is ofcourse compatible with Glide but it doesn't support it at first as it doesn't come with the necessary files. I just point it out so that users know about that fact before downloading it. I should rephrase that part I suppose.
You pointed that encryption/decryption problem several times before, but yes once again I just present the quick way to do stuff. We did it like that for more than a decade, I think they'll manage ;)
A T-shirt of it would be quite super long..!
