HUD CUSTOMIZATION MENU This menu allows you to customize your HUD ("Heads-Up Display") Configuration. You can set each option to "Graphic" (the default), "Text", or "None" to not display that item. If you find there's too much stuff on the HUD, try setting all these items to "Text".
CONFIG MENU The Keyboard Customization menu and the Joystick and Mouse Customization menu are virtually identical. You use these menus to change your keys, joystick buttons, and mouse buttons. To customize, go to the appropriate menu, click one of the boxes to the right of the function you want to customize, then press the key or button you'd like to perform that function. If you would like two different keys to do the same thing, set the two boxes to the two keys you'd like.
These are the functions on the Keyboard Configuration menu: Fire Primary Fire your primary weapon. (You start with lasers.) Fire Secondary Fire your secondary weapon. (You start with concussion missiles.) Fire Flare Fire a flare to light up the area. Cycle Primary Choose a different primary weapon.

WEAPON SELECTION PRIMARY KEY WEAPON 1 WEAPON 2 1 2 3 4 5 Laser Vauss Cannon Napalm Cannon Plasma Cannon Fusion Cannon Super Laser Mass Driver Microwave Cannon EMD Gun Omega Cannon SECONDARY KEY WEAPON 1 WEAPON 2 6 7 8 9 0 Concussion Missile Homing Missile Impact Mortar Missile Smart Missile Mega Missile Frag Missile Guided Missile Napalm Rocket Cyclone Missile Black Shark Missile Enter Drop currently selected countermeasure (main keyboard Enter key, not numpad).
PAYLOAD AND SUPPLIES PRIMARY WEAPONS: Laser Cannon: Standard issue for the modern zero-gravity fighter jock, your Laser Cannons are always there when you need 'em. Small, but powerful, these twin turbo-lasers are all that stand between you and the unknown in the mines ahead. Use them with respect, and you may just come out of your next mission--alive. Super Laser: If blasting through hordes of robotic foes is your line of work, then the enhanced firepower of the Super Laser is the tool to get the job done.
EMD Gun: Harness the arcing electro-magnetic energy of the sizzling new EMD Gun. Watch as your enemies dive and roll from the sudden strike of this supercharged hunter-killer. The tactical advantage of a rechargeable homing weapon, without the advanced warning--they'll never know what hit them. Microwave Cannon: Torture your adversaries with the scorching effects of the wicked new Microwave Cannon.
SECONDARY WEAPONS: Concussion Missile: A devoted comrade in any firefight, the Concussion Missile hurls a high-explosive warhead into the enemy positions with deadly results. Crude, but effective, this standard rocket attack will never let you down. Frag Missile: Scour the enemy defenses from the mines with the stinging flak of the chaotic new Frag Missile. Campers beware, whether hiding around the corner or waiting in a darkened corridor, there is no escaping the shrapnel fury of the Frag.
Napalm Rocket: The power of the Napalm Cannon, in a convenient disposable self-propelled package--the Napalm Rocket adds a fiery new strategy element to your arsenal. Fire at the walls and ceilings above your enemy with this rocket and watch flaming blobs of Napalm pour over everything in your path--reach out and torch someone. Smart Missile: The Smart Missile explodes in a frenzy of deadly plasma projectiles that divide on impact and streak towards the nearest targets.
COUNTERMEASURES: Gunboy: Crude, but effective--the Gunboy acts as a portable laser turret, to give you extra fire support when the going gets tough. Dropping one or more of these babies in a room full of bots won't exactly make you any friends, but it'll sure put a dent in your enemies. Bouncing Betty: Let loose the hyperactive mayhem of the Bouncing Betty, and send foes scattering from its unpredictable path of destruction.
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT: Energy: This will give your ship energy, up to 200 units max. Energy Centers can deliver recharges up to 100 units. Shield: Gives your ships additional shields, up to 200 units max. Cloaking Device: Cloaks your ship for 30 seconds. When cloaked it is difficult for robots and other players to see you and any weapons with homing abilities will not be able to track you down. Invulnerability: Makes your ship impervious to attacks for 30 seconds.
Quad Laser: Modifies your lasers to fire four shots at once instead of the standard two. Rapid Fire: Allows all energy weapons to fire at a quicker rate for 30 seconds. Full Map: Downloads the entire blueprint of the facility to your Automap. Vauss Clip: Gives you additional ammunition for the Vauss Cannon. Mass Driver Round: Gives you additional ammunition for the Mass Driver. Napalm Fuel: Gives you additional fuel for the Napalm Cannon.
GUIDE-BOT Originally designed as an individual scout found within each PTMC mine and facilities, we’ve now developed a smaller version that can actually be carried inside your ship and deployed at your convenience. The Guide-Bot will have direct access to your Telcom system and will automatically download any relevant mission objects that it may need to help you on your mission. If you choose to deploy the Guide-Bot you may then access his command menu by pressing F4.
Find Powerup Locates a Powerup. Find Energy Locates an Energy Center or an Energy Powerup. Find Robot Locates the closest Robot. Find Thief Locates the Thief (If available) within the level. Find Closest Marker Leads you to the closest marker to your position. Find Marker # Leads you to a specifically numbered marker. Escort Ship Commands the Guide-Bot to travel along side your ship. Use Item Commands the Guide-Bot to use a specific item. Allow/Disallow G.B.
GUIDE-BOT SUPPLIES As we develop them we will be deploying numerous Guide-Bot supplies that can be used to help out on your missions. These supplies are unique to the Guide-Bot and can not be used by your ship or by other robots. The Guide-Bot will automatically pick up any supplies found if already deployed. If not, you must first deploy the Guide-Bot for it to pick up. Once the GuideBot has obtained a supply it will use it automatically if needed be or by command from within the Command Menu.
TELCOM SYSTEM Your Pyro-GL is equipped with an on-board computer called TelCom. To access the TelCom, press Shift + Tab. From within this device you will be able to access information from the following categories: Automap The Automap charts a mine or facility as you move through it and automatically stores a map within TelCom for viewing. Briefings Each mission you receive will have a corresponding briefing.
THE DESCENT UNIVERSE Doors There are a wide variety of doors that you will encounter throughout the facilities. Most can be opened by either bumping into them or by firing weapons at them, but others require special actions to be performed first before entry is allowed. Some doors are locked and require special keys to open them. Some facilities have gone as far as to camouflage doors in an attempt to keep wandering crew from entering them.
Crates Crates are often found throughout the facility. Destroying them will sometimes reveal hidden supplies. Frag Crates Look out for these guys! Weapon fire upon a Frag crate will spray the area with shrapnel that will damage anything in its path. Napalm Barrels Destroying a Napalm Barrel will spray lethal contents in every direction.
STARTING A MULTIPLAYER GAME After you click "Multiplayer" from the main menu, a dialog presents you with several options for how to connect to other players and find games. Parallax Online: Play over the Internet via the PXO matching service DirectPlay Serial: Play against one other computer over a serial cable DirectPlay Modem: Play against one other computer over the modem IPX: Play over a LAN using the IPX network protocol Direct TCP/IP: Play over a LAN or the Internet using the TCP/IP network protocol.
To chat before you begin a game, double-click the name of one of the chat rooms at the top of the PXO window. A dialog box will appear letting you know what chat room you're in. To type something that everyone in the chat room can view, just type something and hit Enter. To send a private message to another pilot, click "Send Private Message", then type the message and pilot name in the dialog box that appears.
If you want to host a game -- that is, your modem will be set to answer the phone when a friend calls -- click "Answer/Host Game", and see "Starting A New Game", below. If you want to join a game -- that is, your computer will call a friend who has already chosen to host a game -- type the phone number and click "Dial". Troubleshooting: DirectX 6.1 is required for direct modem games; we use DirectPlay for modem games. If the error "Unable to connect.
Troubleshooting: DirectX 6.1 is required for direct serial games; we use DirectPlay for serial games. If the error "Unable to connect." appears when looking for games, you should quit the game on both machines and make sure they can talk to each other. To do this, run a terminal program like HyperTerminal on both machines – Windows 95 and 98 include HyperTerminal in the Start menu, under Programs->Accessories.
To start a TCP/IP game, click "Start A New Game", then see "Starting A New Game", below. Troubleshooting: Run NETTEST.EXE if you experience problems with TCP/IP games. It may be able to detect certain problems with your network configuration. Again, it's unfortunately beyond the scope of a game readme file to attempt to troubleshoot a TCP/IP network. Try using Windows' Network Control Panel, and take it from there.
Hyper-Anarchy Similar to anarchy, but a single hyperorb spawns randomly throughout the level. Players who acquire the hyperorb will receive bonus points for each successive kill. The orb spews from any player who is killed while carrying it. The player who destroyed the hyperorb carrier will also earn bonus points. Again the objective is to accumulate as many points as possible. Team Anarchy Two to four teams battle it out.
centers while repair centers will regenerate shields in a similar fashion. Virus producers create virus powerups that must be collected for use in taking over the opposing team's bases. Each mini-base only functions properly for players from the team it belongs to, while opposing players will take heavy doses of damage while inside a base. The capture of a base is accomplished by a player gathering five virus powerups and remaining perfectly still in any opposing mini-base for 5 seconds.
people join the game with lesser bandwidth requirements for each client. If you ever have problems with games becoming extremely lagged after playing for a while, try playing with a dedicated server or play peer-to-peer. Peer-to-peer You can choose either client-server or peer-to-peer. Peer-to-peer is good for games when all the clients and the server have the same amount of bandwidth. In peer-to-peer, all clients will see player updates more quickly, but they will all need more bandwidth.
After the game has been started, the server will display the Waiting For Players screen. In non-team games, this will list all the players currently in the game. When everyone has joined (or sooner if you prefer) click on Start Game to begin. In team games, this screen allows you to assign players to teams. HINTS AND TIPS FOR MULTIPLAYER: Weapon tactics compliments of ‘Solidair’: Vauss Vauss is a deadly weapon when aimed correctly. The Vauss is best used when an attacker is far from you.
nose up. You can get some good speed and dodge homers more effectively using this technique. It takes practice and can be rough on your hands but worth the effort. How does it work? Think of the thrusters from the turbo, thrusters from the slide to the side and thrusters from the slide down working together to move you forward. Move I see a lot of new pilots move without turbo, and shoot standing still. Easy pickings for an average pilot. In this game if you don't keep moving you’re dead.
Miscellaneous Tactics Breaking off the attack when you have a tough opponent, then quickly doubling back for a Fast little surprise. Works for me. – Bama Placing Gunboys in strategic locations to act as trip wires so you know where they are. – Bama Shoot a high-spread missile down small tunnels to maximize damage. – Tetrad Only use high-speed weapons in open fighting places. – Tetrad Always leave more than one way out of a room.
Watch your opponents for patterns in their flight paths. Learn to predict where they're going before the get there, and greet them with a friendly frag. Make sure you mix up you own flight paths so they don't do the same to you. – Dr Payne Ok this is going to sound crazy. But here it goes. Please note that you have to have Mad flying skills for this to work. Otherwise you’re dead. If your opponent fires a frag from a distance and turns the other way and you have nowhere to run to. Head straight for it.

Markers In multiplayer, each player is given two markers. These can be dropped in the level and then used to find your way or to spy on your opponents. Use the Shift-F1/F2 keys to view the action from your dropped markers.
RUNNING A DEDICATED SERVER If you are lucky enough to have a spare computer on your network that nobody uses, put it to good work! Set it up as a Descent 3 dedicated server. This may help the speed of network games for all clients. To start a dedicated server, install Descent 3 on the machine, and in the Misc. tab in setup, type: -dedicated dedicated.cfg where "dedicated.cfg" is the name of the dedicated server configuration file. This is a file you can configure yourself with various commands.
Permissible - AllowRemoteConsole RemoteConsolePort - ConsolePassword - AllowMouselook PXOHostingLobby - If set to 1, the dedicated server uses the permissible client server network architecture described in the Multiplayer Options section. If set to 1, the server can be administered remotely via Telnet. Specifies the TCP port number to use to remotely administer the server. The default port is 2092.
There is an example server config file included with the game. Its filename is "dedicated.cfg" and it can be found in the same directory as the game. In order to reduce the amount of CPU time the dedicated server uses, it will by default limit processing to 30 frames per second. If you want to adjust the frame rate limit, you can do so by using the "-framecap " command-line option. This option will limit the number of frames per second (FPS) to the value specified.
GAMESPY™ SUPPORT Descent 3 supports GameSpy server queries. This means that you can configure your server (dedicated or or non-dedicated) to send 'heartbeat' messages to the GameSpy master server. To do this, you need to enable the GameSpy configuration file. Use the "-gspyfile " option to enable the GameSpy heartbeat and allow GameSpy to see your game. The default configuration file, which you can edit to set your own specific options, is called gspy.cfg. You can also rename gspy.cfg to gamespy.
