MDK

Here it is Kurt, your set up instructions for MDK and the Assassin 3D.

We here at FPgaming have tried to make this as painless as possible, what we came up with actually makes it easy. I also feel that it is important to let you know that you will not have the same feel as you have in our other supported games. While using the Direct Input features of DirectX, we do not have the same level of control of how it works that we have had on our other supported games.

Grab this file FPREG.ZIP and save it to your FPgaming directory. At this time it includes three Registry (*.REG) files, one for the default settings (FPDEF.REG) and one for the MDK settings (FPMDK.REG) and one for the Forsaken Demo Settings. You will need the current Assassin 3D Windows 95 Direct Input Drivers

Quick little bit about what is going on...

What these registry files will do is actually change the settings for the Assassin 3D Windows 95 Direct Input Drivers inside of the System Registry. When these settings are changed you will need to reapply the settings in your Joystick Applett located in the Windows 95 Control Panel. You can do this by recalibrating.
NOTE: If you have DirectX 5 (Game Controllers) you will actually need to remove the joystick selection and then add it back in and proceed to calibrate. If this doesn't work you will need to Reboot your Computer.

Quick Play Instructions.

These steps presume that you have started with the default settings..

1. Execute FPMDK.REG, you will see a dialog box telling you that it has updated the registry.
2. Open your Control Panel and calibrate the joystick.

First Time Game Setup:

The first time you play MDK with the Assassin 3D you will need to set up the joystick options.

1. Start the game following the directions above
2. At the Main Menu choose Options, then Joystick
3. You will see a grid for assigning your weapons to the available joystick buttons. By pressing a button on the joystick or the Assassin you can see the column that you will use for that button.
4. Select the weapon/action you want to use for each available button.
5. Near the bottom of the page you will see an area for the axes selections. You can experiment with any of the options to customize your own particular tastes. Refer to the table below for the recommended selections.
6. Make sure that you select the Joystick as Enabled, and Joystick not GamePad
   

Notes:
We have used Neg Move for use when in Sniper Mode.
We have found it real nice to use the Assassin 3D buttons to ZoomIn (Left), Turbo (Middle), ZoomOut (Right). This seems to work great for the sniper mode.
