CHARTERS
|
||
========
|
||
|
||
rec.games.computer.doom.announce Info/FAQs/reviews about DOOM. (Moderated)
|
||
|
||
The sort of postings likely to be to be approved by the moderator are
|
||
general announcements that are interesting to the broad spectrum of DOOM
|
||
players. Examples of these types of articles are:
|
||
|
||
- Anything from id Software
|
||
- New PWAD and LMP announcements
|
||
- Announcements of new versions of utilities like DEU and DEHACKED
|
||
- Tourney announcements
|
||
- FTP site news (downtime, user limits, etc)
|
||
- FAQs and similarly informative documents
|
||
- Reviews of user-written PWADs
|
||
|
||
The current moderator of alt.games.doom.announce, Tony Lezard, says that
|
||
he'd be happy to moderate this newsgroup using the current addresses:
|
||
|
||
Submit: doom@mantis.co.uk
|
||
Contact: doom-request@mantis.co.uk (Tony Lezard)
|
||
|
||
This newsgroup replaces alt.games.doom.announce.
|
||
|
||
rec.games.computer.doom.help DOOM Help Service (new players welcome).
|
||
|
||
This unmoderated newsgroup is the headquarters of the DOOM Help Service.
|
||
Readers new to USENET or to DOOM who post questions here will receive a
|
||
flame-free friendly response from experienced USENETters and DOOM players.
|
||
Game setup, hardware problems, modem/network setup, secrets, cheats, how
|
||
to get DOOM and related utilities are a few examples of suitable topics.
|
||
|
||
Questions about modifying/editing levels belong in the .editing group.
|
||
|
||
This newsgroup replaces alt.games.doom.newplayers.
|
||
|
||
rec.games.computer.doom.misc Talking about DOOM and id Software.
|
||
|
||
Here is where discussion occurs about non-play-related issues that
|
||
aren't suitable (or only marginally so) for the other subgroups.
|
||
Examples are FTP issues, ports of DOOM to other systems, piracy,
|
||
"DOOM - the Movie", DOOM II vs. DOOM, what's the best soundcard,
|
||
DOOM-related ads, comparisons with other games, magazine articles,
|
||
people at id and their cars, future id plans (Quake). In general,
|
||
if it isn't about actually playing or editing DOOM, post it here.
|
||
|
||
rec.games.computer.doom.editing Editing and hacking DOOM-related files.
|
||
|
||
Discussion here covers modifying the DOOM environment, especially the
|
||
EXE and WAD files. There are many user-written utilities available that
|
||
do these types of things. Some authors and experienced users can answer
|
||
questions about design techniques and using the utilities. Examples of
|
||
topics are effects of design error (HOM, Medusa), design problems in
|
||
user-written PWADs, modifying default DOOM behavior, utility enhancements.
|
||
|
||
Comments or questions about playing user-written PWADs (opinions, keys,
|
||
secrets, etc.) should not be posted here - post in .playing instead.
|
||
|
||
rec.games.computer.doom.playing Playing DOOM and user-created levels.
|
||
|
||
Discussion about playing DOOM takes place here (not only about playing
|
||
id's original levels, but also about playing user-written PWADs).
|
||
Topics include how to find secrets, keyboard/mouse movement techniques,
|
||
side-effects of playing DOOM, where to find good PWADS (and which ones
|
||
are favorites), deathmatch experiences, and so forth.
|
||
|
||
Tournament discussions and multi-player topics can go here, too.
|
||
|
||
PWAD upload notices can be posted here when not posted in .announce.
|
||
|
||
Non-play-related topics belong in the .misc group (this includes Quake).
|
||
|
||
|
||
EPILOGUE TO 3RD RFD
|
||
===================
|
||
|
||
My reluctant decision to remove .ports and .multiplayers and go with
|
||
just the 5 main groups was widely supported:
|
||
|
||
Looks fine to me. Enjoy. - Francis Uy
|
||
I'd not be against any of these groups. - William Harris
|
||
I'm all for it. - Raphael Quinet
|
||
I have no problem with this. - Doug Barton
|
||
This works for me. Let's start voting. - Clint in Alaska
|
||
|
||
I've modified some of the charters to merge in multiplayer/Quake info.
|
||
|
||
I'm submitting the Call for Votes request to Ron Dippold and asking
|
||
for voting to commence as early as 'legally' possible, which is on
|
||
Thursday, Oct 13. There may be a few days' delay, but expect the CFV
|
||
sometime that week. Voting will last for 22 days. Following the vote,
|
||
there is a 5 day discussion period after which the newsgroups that passed
|
||
will be created by the moderator of news.announce.newgroups.

Dunno if it's shit or not but I heard that linux doom has all the graphics

scaling stuff is done on C and not assembler like the dos version so that

slows it down heaps....

Well, first off, I've heard that the code for Linux DOOM is pure C, whereas
|
||
the DOS version has some optimized assembly in it for speed. So you should
|
||
expect less performance.

|

I've killed everything, but not doing a renice. Anyway, I have 486DX/2-66,
|
||
and it ran slowwww. I have a local-bus ET-4000 (not accelerated) and I wasn't
|
||
impressed with it. However, it was kinda nice to run two DOOM sessions
|
||
side-by-side and watch the demo's play.

The first time I heard of it, was version 0.96. I was running around
|
||
asking everybody, how much memory I would need to install UN*X and
|
||
dreaming of installing it (I just heard UN*X is better than DOS)! They
|
||
all told me UN*X and PC, forget it!!!
|
||
|
||
Than I found out, that there's something called Linux; I just wanted
|
||
to install it, but I had no machine to install it on (to that point
|
||
I couldn't afford to buy one, where I could install a good UN*X),
|
||
so I began installing it at the university (in a DOS lab; DOS just
|
||
used 40megs of the HD, so there were 70 left for me)...
|
||
|
||
That was my first touch with UN*X/Linux; I loved it from the beginning,
|
||
because it isn't difficult, just type apropos :) and ...
|
||
Sure it took me one to two week to figure out how to install X, another
|
||
two for compiling the kernel with networking... It took 1 Term till I had
|
||
everything I wanted, even things I never could have at home (Network,
|
||
Mail, ...)
|
||
|
||
SO THANKS TO LINUS AND EVERYBODY ELSE, who did a lot of work on Linux!!!
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Don't forget them!

When you get right down to it, an Intel 486 is really nothing more
|
||
than an improved 386 with a 387 thrown in for good measure. The
|
||
architectural differences between a 386 and a 486 are far smaller
|
||
than those between the 286 and 386 or those between the 486 and
|
||
586/pentium.

|
||
|

I pulled the sources for both xvnews and xrn. I could not get xvnews to
|
||
post, even though I liked its layout better than xrn. Both xvnews and xrn
|
||
allow sorting of subject lines, ignoring the "re:" stuff which gives a
|
||
certain amount of threading.
|
||
|
||
I read news from netcoms' nntp server over a cslip link and found that
|
||
tin -r was just plain unbearably slow. Otherwise I'd use tin, since it
|
||
some useful features that I wished the X readers had. Xvnews was better than
|
||
xrn, because xrn insists on displaying the first article in the groups
|
||
list. This makes entering a new group a crap shoot; *.answer groups
|
||
all have looong articles. On a slow link, this makes xrn a pain. Also,
|
||
if I save locally, xrn is too brain-dead to remember that I already have
|
||
the article up, and goes and pulls it from the nntp server again! Lastly,
|
||
xrn (and I think xvnews did this too), do not use a proper select() or
|
||
poll() call in their X message/nntp loop. The result is that redraw messages
|
||
are not honored while xrn awaits a response from the server. This offends
|
||
my sensibility about the proper behaviour that X apps should exhibits.
|
||
Still, I do use xrn and maybe someday I'll write something that is not
|
||
only X aware, but also more efficient with slow links and has the features
|
||
of tin.
|
||
|
||
Let me know if there is something already out there like that. Thanks.

Please do not post questions to comp.os.linux.misc - read on for details of

which groups you should read and post to.
|

Please do not crosspost anything between different groups of the comp.os.linux

|
||
|
||
If you have a question about Linux you should get and read the Linux Frequently

Asked Questions with Answers list from sunsite.unc.edu, in /pub/Linux/docs, or
|
||
from another Linux FTP site. It is also posted periodically to c.o.l.announce.
|
||
|
||
In particular, read the question `You still haven't answered my question!'
|
||
The FAQ will refer you to the Linux HOWTOs (more detailed descriptions of
|

particular topics) found in the HOWTO directory in the same place.
|
||
|

Then you should consider posting to comp.os.linux.help - not

Note that X Windows related questions should go to comp.windows.x.i386unix, and

Hi, there,
|
||
|
||
Does anybody know if Diamond stealth 64 supports interlaced mode, i.e.,
|
||
1024x768 with dot clock 45MHz.
|
||
|
||
Thanks a lot.

I just got the October issue 2 days ago (Tuesday, October 4), somewhat
|

battered and with several of the back pages slightly torn.

I am still working on it but not as much as before. I have just got a
|
||
bugfix for it which I have put in. I was trying to get QUOTA into the
|
||
standard kernel before 1.2. I have send it so Linus several times but
|
||
because of the changes in the last patchlevels in the filesystem layer
|
||
I always was behind in patching my patches up to te latest version.
|
||
If 1.2 comes out soon now and won't include QUOTA as a standard option
|
||
I will release a quota-1.34 soon. For now I am busy with some other
|
||
things but will try to maintain quota. An no I don't need anyone doing
|
||
it for me, it hasn't changed much lateley and it seems to be quite stable.
|
||
That is at least on the machines I work on and that are about (5 or 6 at
|
||
the moment). And it seems to work for more people because 41 people have
|
||
registered.
|
||
|
||
Maybe I make a pre-release for the people who have registered as systems
|
||
that use QUOTA.

You need to "set term x11" first in gnuplot. "set term" will show you all
|
||
available terminal types.

There were a few rumors posted. Facts behind the rumor is that they will
|
||
be shipping more like on October 14. They held up the pressing for
|
||
X11R6.1. For any of you who already have it on order from SSC/Linux
|
||
Journal a apologize for the delay but we expect it will be worth the
|
||
wait.
|
||
|
||
The price remains at $20 for this distribution. I mention this because
|
||
there were rumors of a price increase. E-mail sales@ssc.com if you need
|
||
more information.

Subject: adding a dumb terminal
|
||
Date: 5 Oct 1994 16:59:27 GMT
|
||
|
||
|
||
I am thinking of adding a dumb terminal to my machine that is
|
||
running Linux. I have an old 286 machine with serial port, with
|
||
monitor, with keyborad.
|
||
|
||
Is that any additional hardware that I need to get? How do
|
||
I config the Linux to recognize that a dumb terminal exits?
|
||
|
||
Thanks for helping.
