About SWP Installing SWP Create a directory called SWP and in this directory you will need the following files: 1. SWP.exe 2. SWP.grp 3. SWP.cfg - will get created 1st time. 4. SW.grp - Shareware or retail. That will get you playing although to improve gameplay you will need the High Resolution Pack (HRP). Just add the Sw_Hrp.zip file this directory and start the game. Other Directories Maps For a better gameplay it may become neccessary to add a Maps directory where you can store all your user maps and assiated map files. SWP will look for this directory at startup and list the maps found. Games Another worthy directory is the games directory where you store all your Addons, TCs (Total Conversions) and other associated files. Here again, SWP will loook for this directory at startup and list all your addons etc. Music This is an optional directory where SWP will look for all you music that you may want to select with your game. Map Options To play a user map, just put the map and its extras if any in the Maps directory and select the map in the start menu then click on Start Options associated with maps. If there is a midi file with the same name as the map (mapname.mid) then it will be used as the map music. If there is a hrp assoicated with this map, then it should have the same name as the map but with _hrp.zip added. The same goes if this maps has a con file, it should also have the same name as the map but with a .con extension Therefore if you have a map called Toxic.map, its music will be Toxic.mid, its hrp will be Toxic_hrp.zip and its Game.con will be Toxic.con. However as many additions tend to use the original Game.con as its filename, SWP will revert back to this name if a mapname.con is not found. SWP will also see and remember path names to a map, ie: SWP.exe -map D:\Someplace\SubDirectory\Test\Mymap.map TCs and Addons To play a TC or Addon, just put the .GRP or .ZIP and its extras if any in the Games directory, select the Addon in the start menu then click on Start Options associated with Addons. .GRP files are encouraged as they load quicker and have less hassles although they do have a restriction in that they can only have 8 letter filenames. If a TC or Addon has a associated hrp, it should have the same name but with _hrp.zip added for SWP to auto load it. Again the Game.con file and any other associated files houls have the same name as the original filename with its extension, like .con Music Options Its just always better to keep music in one place, namely in the music directory as thats where SWP will default to. To select what music you want played with your map, just select the map and the music in the start menu and click on Start As from 4.2.5 there is now a Select Music Menu which a player can select music from during a game. Multiplayer Options SWP offers a full multiplay section which can be accessed initially from the start menu. Just select the mode of play, click on Select Multiplay Game and click on Start The Host: The Host needs to setup the required GameType, Timelimit, fraglimit, Monsters, Player color, Map or Addon if required etc as well as the Clients IP Adress then start the game. The Client: All the client need to do is set the Player color, the Host IP Address and Join the game. However in the case of playing an Addon, the client also needs to select the appropriate Addon before joining a game. Game Options Autosave The Autosave option can be set to Off, Auto or Manual. When in Auto, the game is saved everytime you pickup health or a keycard. When you die you will have the option of loading a Autosaved game. You can also press F5 at any stage to do a autosave. In Manual mode, only the F5 option is available. Random Music If selected, and no music was selected with a map, then SWP will choose a random song in the Music directory. If this music happens to be a .mp3 or .ogg it will be played by whatever your default Media Player is, but will not loop. Commandline Besides the standard SW commandline options, SWP offer these as additional: /hFilename.def - add this file as a custom .def file. /jDirectory - add this directory to the searchpath. /setup - force the startmenu to display. /music Filename - use the filename as the map music.
